She gambled on their concern for reputation.

“Are you really Wilbert’s wife?” Matthew inquired sharply.

Nell froze, then affirmed, “Yes! Why wouldn’t I be?”

But her words betrayed her nervousness.

Matthew’s cold smirk revealed doubt.

“My research shows Wilbert was never married.

Now visibly rattled, Nell’s eyes darted around.

“I don’t know anything.

Matthew stood motionless, his gaze fixed on her.

“Did someone pay you to bad-mouth Prosperity Group?”

Stunned, she touched her cheek, feeling the heat and tasting blood at the corner of her mouth.

“How could you hit a woman?” she exclaimed indignantly, calling out to the onlookers.

“Look everyone, the CEO of Prosperity Group is assaulting a woman.

“Clap!”

But before she could finish, another slap landed on her other cheek.

Expressionless, Fernando declared, “Mr.

Clark only resorts to violence against those who behave like animals.

He then gave a sly smile and signaled to the bodyguard.
