Chapter 1363

Matthew’s silence spoke volumes, confirming her thoughts.

She never thought of backing down ever since she decided to attack Stella.

“I will give you one minute.

” Matthew relented begrudgingly, his icy demeanor betraying his impatience.

Elizabeth wasted no time, saying, “When Leo attempted to r@pe me, he inadvertently uttered damning words about Stella.

I possess a recording of his confession.

”

Elizabeth watched with satisfaction as Matthew’s countenance darkened, a mixture of rage and apprehension flickering across his features.

At that moment, Elizabeth’s heart swelled with conflicting emotions.

She maintained her composure as she delved deeper into the negotiation.

“If you agree to accompany me for a few nights each month, I will refrain from making these recordings public.

However, if you refuse, you know what I will do.

”

Matthew met her gaze with an impassive stare, his response devoid of hesitation or remorse.

“No one can intimidate me.

Make them public if you must.

I don’t give a f@ck.

”

“Oh! Really?” Elizabeth challenged, her tone laced with incredulity.

“Do you not care about Stella’s fate? I thought you loved your wife deeply.

”

Her words struck a nerve, igniting a flicker of irritation in Matthew’s stoic facade.

“Think of the consequences if you dare to harm her,” he warned in a hushed tone, his voice tinged with menace.

“I don’t even need to lift a finger or hurt her myself.

” Elizabeth maintained her composure, her tone measured and calm.

“The release of this recording alone will subject Stella to the merciless scrutiny of public opinion.

You think she’s capable enough to go through it?”

Matthew’s cold gaze bore into her.

“Leo is still alive.

As long as he is breathing, he will have the chance to tell the truth.

”

Elizabeth was well prepared for Matthew’s counterattacks already.

When he mentioned Leo, she remained unfazed, her response poised and unwavering.

“The truth remains that he sneaked into my villa and tried to r@pe me.

His actions warranted the consequences.

”

A sardonic smile curled Matthew’s lips, his demeanor bordering on amusement.

“Then I have nothing to say further.

I hope this confidence never wavers.

”

With that, he turned on his heel and left.

Elizabeth continued, “The offer stands for two days.

Let me know if you have a change of mind.

But once I officially hold the press conference and leak it out, no one will know what will happen.

”

Ignoring her threat, Matthew entered the elevator.

Elizabeth watched him depart.

Her smile was a facade of determination, masking the uncertainty lurking beneath the surface as she waved at him.

Matthew’s gaze remained fixed on Elizabeth, his eyes betraying a depth of emotion belied by his impassive facade.

Only when the doors sealed shut did he allow himself a moment of vulnerability.

Returning to his office, Matthew found Fernando awaiting his return, concern etched upon his features.

“Mr.

Clark, what happened?”

Matthew waved off his concern with a dismissive gesture, his tone clipped.

“It’s nothing.

A minor inconvenience.

I accidentally bumped my injured belly while driving.
