Chapter 335

Staging a Coup When he entered my office, his demeanor was genuinely repulsive. It was as if he owned the place, inspecting every comer as if it were his home.

The fault was mine, When I took over, I prioritized convenience over renovations. The office remained exactly as it was, untouched.

After his inspection, he settled into the sofa, looking at me confidently.

He said, “Chloe, you’re quite sentimental. It’s obvious from this office. You’ve never had the heart to change the look. Do you feel like I’m still here?”

I let out a cold hum and silently cursed in my heart.

The villain thought he was the cream of the crop. Even the way he sat was so smug.

I looked at him indifferently, unwilling to engage with his antics.

*Alright, what brings you here?”

“Let’s not beat around the bush. I’ve got too many projects on hand, and they keep pouring in. I can’t let such a good opportunity slip away to someone else. That’s why I’m here to talk to you. How about merging our companies?”

He swayed his head and boasted about his achievements. I didn’t interrupt, letting him continue his act.

Seeing me remain silent, Matthew stared at me for a while before continuing, “To be honest, I’m used to working here, and I want to move back. Chloe, do you want money or projects?

“Why don’t we merge our company, and you’ll be a shareholder of my company. That way, Tanum Corporation will go back to how it used to be. After all, it has over ten years of reputation. There’s no need for change.”

I held myself back from slapping him and stared at him calmly. I did not understand. If people were given a little kindness, would they be kind in return?

guess I needed to surround myself with more positive people.

When Matthew noticed my silence, he felt a little proud. He believed that he had struck a chord, thinking !

was tempted.

can see you’ve been under a lot of pressure lately. Don’t push yourself too hard. You’re juggling too huch and might burn out. I’ve said it before, Atlas isn’t reliable. Now look, he’s in a coma, just hanging by I considered telling him off if he mentioned Atlas again. After reconsidering, letting him fall from his lofty heights was the best way to hurt him. I needed to let him climb higher.

“Or, I can give you some money, and you can step aside. If you’re eager to work, I can let you handle a couple of projects to keep your dignity. But this place isn’t suitable for you.

“In the future, if you ever come crying to me for child support, my son will eventually bear Murphy’s name. So don’t even think about dragging us to court later.”

I clenched my fists even tighter. He was testing my limits.

Bringing Ava up in the conversation was making me lose my cool. I never even considered using him for child support, but his tone….

He was prioritizing his son.

Before I could speak, he continued, “Chloe, nobody’s always lucky. I think your luck has run out. You need to learn to face reality. Give it some thought in the next two days. If I don’t hear any objections, I’ll be moving back into this office next week.”

His audacity left me speechless. All I wanted was to tear him apart to find some relief.

What’s he even saying? Matthew rambled on, and I stayed silent the whole time.

Finally, I asked, “Are you done?”

He looked at me, puzzled, and nodded. “Yes, I’m done. Of course, you can share your thoughts too. I’d like to hear them!”

“Get out!” I snapped, coldly dismissing him.
