Chapter 185

Creating a Scene As expected, Matthew came to create a scene. His aggressive entrance left no doubt that Atticus had cu ties with him, and he looked like he wanted to kill me.

He barked, “How could you do this to me, you cunt?”

It was the first time I had seen him so furious.

Carol stood protectively before me and called other employees to step in. Benjamin called the building’s security.

I pulled Carol aside and stared at Matthew. “I got the divorce because I wanted nothing to do with you.

But you kept pushing it and pulled that stunt last night. How dare you try to make a scene here?”

“Don’t talk back to me, you fucking whore!” Matthew seemed ready to lunge at me any moment.

“You brought this on yourself.”

Matthew shouted through clenched teeth. “You’re a jinx, Chloe! I was so unlucky to have married you!”

“How come you never thought of me as a jinx when I helped turn your life around?” I held my ground.

“One day, you’ll regret this, Matthew. I’ll make sure of it!”

Unable to reach me physically, Matthew trashed the things around him.

Ryan hurried over when he heard the commotion. “Matthew, what the hell are you doing?”

Matthew looked over his shoulder at Ryan. Stunned, he started to call me a slut and accused me of sleeping around.

Several security guards arrived at the scene but hesitated upon seeing him. Benjamin yelled, “What are you waiting for? Throw him out!”

Matthew pointed at the security guards. “I dare you to lay a finger on me! Don’t forget whose company this is, okay? Benjamin, you fucking traitor!”

Calm the fuck down, Matthew. It’s Atticus who refused to work with you, not Chloe. You’re barking up the tree, Ryan said calmly think about why Atticus made that decision. Just so you know, he was here artic You should know what it means right?

right?”′′

“If you still don’t get it, I have nothing else to say.” Ryan told the guards. “Let him go. No matter what, he used to own this place. We should show him some respect.

“Anyway, you brought this on yourself, Matthew. Chloe has shown great kindness to you. She could have pushed you out of the business, but she didn’t. Learn from her.”

Ryan then turned to everyone else. Let’s clean up the mess.”

The staff looked at Matthew, worried he might have another outburst and hurt me. However, he was standing there, seemingly thinking about what Ryan said.

At the same time, I was surprised that Ryan knew the reason for Atticus’s visit, as I hadn’t told him about it last night.
