Chapter 199 As the Scumbag Deserved

I felt exposed and couldn't understand why Matthew acted so boldly. He wouldn't be this relentless if he didn't have leverage. I knew him well and had experienced his deceit.

Nonetheless, I was even more shocked that Atlas seemed to care little about my dignity. I looked at him disapprovingly and uttered one word, "Shameless!"

I directed it toward Atlas and Matthew. Immediately after, I turned away to escape the chaos.

"Stop right there! Don't you want to see it too? Matthew continued to taunt me. He smirked and continued, "It won't be entertaining if you leave."

Stella took my arm to seemingly diffuse the situation, She smiled and said, "Chloe, this is all my fault. I didn't know you two were talking and disrupted your conversation."

I glanced at her hand gripping my arm and knew she didn't want me to leave. She didn't want to resolve the situation-instead, she wanted to worsen it.

Loira emerged from the crowd to look at us with curiosity and annoyance. She glanced at Stella, then at Matthew's smirk. Her eyes seemed to flicker with suspicion. He asked, "What's going on here, Mr.

Matthew?"

"I apologize, Mrs. Loira. I just wanted to show everyone a picture to liven the atmosphere, Matthew

shamelessly replied.

When Liora gazed at Stella, I felt the latter tremble slightly. Finally, Liora crossed her arms and said, "Well,

I want to see it too. Show us the picture."

Atlas narrowed his eyes while Matthew unlocked his phone. I clenched my fists, but Stella still had a forced smile. Everyone looked at Matthew to see the picture. I stared at him with a pounding heart, fearing what he would reveal.

However, he frowned when he looked at his phone. He paled and appeared anxious.

I couldn't help but glance at the calm Atlas. He seemed confident, as if he had a plan in place.

Lauren stood in the crowd and could no longer tolerate it. She snatched a wine glass and splashed it toward Matthew. However, the wine also splattered on Stella, who screamed and let go of my arm. "Matthew, you're even worse than I thought!" Lauren roared. Then she turned to me and said, "Let's go!"

I looked at Matthew one more time. He appeared disheveled and defeated. As I left, Ryan approached us Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

dothing. I replied calmly. "I'm heading home. You stay here.

When Ryan gazed into my eyes, I whispered something only he could hear. He nodded, and I left, but not before bumping into Atticus.

"Ms. Chloe, what's happening?" he asked,

"N-Nothing! My daughter's at home, so I need to leave early. Congratulations on your success tonight, Mr.

Atticus! I smiled, trying to be calm. "I came to celebrate your achievements, after all."

He fixed his profound gaze on me and offered, "Let me get someone to drive you home."

"That's okay. I drove here myself. I don't want to disturb you since you're busy."

I walked away with my still-racing mind. It seemed Matthew had captured something incriminating. Suddenly, I remembered the man who had bumped into Matthew.
