Chapter 198

Shamelessly Discussing About Her My heart sank, wondering if Matthew was bluffing. He was so despicable that it frustrated me further.

Just then, Stella approached with an eager smile and said, “Chloe! I finally get to talk to you. What are you doing here??

She glanced at Matthew and then at the drink he had handed me. She looked embarrassed and said, “Did I interrupt you two?”

When Matthew stepped forward, someone bumped into him and apologized. However, Matthew didn’t mind and focused on me. He grinned, saying, “It’s nothing. We were just discussing something that concerned you, Ms. Stella.”

The man who had accidentally bumped into Matthew passed by again and patted him on the back, saying, “Sorry!”

Matthew was annoyed and glared at the man before returning his attention to Stella.

“Me?” Stella looked surprised and asked, “What does this have to do with me?”

“Matthew, what are you trying to say?” I asked coldly, feeling uneasy. I knew he was up to something.

“You should ask Chlo. Right, honey?” Matthew’s smug expression was repulsive, and my unease grew.

“You’re shameless,” I muttered, then raised my voice, “If you have something to say, say it! Don’t beat around the bush! I have nothing to say to you!”

“Ms. Stella, you’re Mr. Atlas’s date tonight, right? I’m curious as to what your relationship with him is.”

Matthew asked.

I clenched my handbag, feeling increasingly flustered. Stella glanced at me and smiled. Then, she asked Matthew politely, “What do you mean?”

He smirked. “Chlo wants to know your relationship with Mr. Atlas.

“I think you want to know that, Mr. Matthew!” That voice shocked me. The next second, Atlas was already standing beside me.

Matthew was surprised by Atlas’s sudden appearance.

The surrounding people shifted their attention to us, and Stella wrapped her arms around Atlas. She said, ” I apologize for interrupting your conversation just now, Mr. Matthew and Ms. Chloe.”

Her words caused the crowd to exchange glances. After all, they knew Matthew and I were once married.

Atlas looked at Stella’s arm around his with indifference. Immediately after, he gazed at Matthew. “is there something else you’d like to know, Mr. Matthew? Are you curious about what I discussed with Ms.

Chloe just now?”

I wondered what Atlas planned and if he wanted to make things messier.

“Even if I’m curious, is it too much to ask? S–She’s my wife,” Matthew stammered as he tried to regain control of the situation. Atlas’s presence seemed to have affected him.

“Ex-wife,” Atlas corrected.

That felt like a slap to my face to me. It was painful and humiliating when Atlas spoke of my relationship with Matthew in such a place.

My expression grew cold as I felt a sharp pain in my chest. “Have some self–respect, Matthew. Read the room before causing a scene.”

“Neither of you care about the occasion, so why should I? When you were doing it, did you care about shame? Why are you afraid now?” Matthew’s face reddened as he continued his explicit remarks.

“Mr. Matthew, what do you want to say? You seem upset,” Stella asked. However, her smile only fueled the fire.

Matthew handed his glass to someone nearby and pulled out his phone from his pocket. He raised it and taunted me, “Chloe, why don’t I show everyone what’s in here?”

“I’m quite interested,” Atlas said calmly.

Looking at Atlas, I felt a deep sense of shame, humiliation, and frustration. I clenched my teeth to remain composed. Even so, my eyes welled with tears. I couldn’t imagine what would happen next.
