Chapter 593
When Love Comes Late
He looked from the glass to Matthew, who reclined on the sofa with eyes closed, and felt profound regret.
He lamented ever coveting Miley and offending her under the guise of investment.
He ended up gaining nothing and learning a harsh Lesson instead.
Had he known Miley was connected to Matthew, he never would have provoked her.
Jaden rued his choices.
The onlookers were equally tense, worried about getting caught up in Jadenâs plight.

Silently swallowing his shame and humiliation, Jaden knocked back three consecutive glasses of spirits and started to Lose consciousness.
Matthew made no move to prevent him from drinking further.
The waiter gave him another glass of wine.

Matthew raised his hand to signal a halt.

The instant he departed, the roomâs oppressive atmosphere lifted.
Davies exhaled nervously and nudged Jaden on the floor, urging, âWake upâ¦â
But no matter how hard he tried, Jaden remained unresponsive.
Swiftly, Davies took out his phone to arrange for a car to take Jaden to the hospital for gastric lavage.
The group haphazardly lifted Jaden off the floor.
Each one internally acknowledged the undeniable fact.
Matthew was ruthless.
