Chapter 1028

Chapter 1028 You Shouldn’t Trust Matthew The men on the floor were Linus and Harry, who were Franklin’s most trusted lackeys.

Matthew went over to help Helen up and untie her. Then, he took out a porcelain bottle and put it under her nose.

After she inhaled the contents of the bottle, she slowly regained consciousness, but the moment she did, she gasped and scurried off to a corner. “Don’t hit me! Please don’t hit me.”

Matthew quickly said, “It’s fine, Mom. It’s me, Matthew. Everything is fine. Nobody’s going to hit you.”

Helen took a closer look, then she froze up and started crying. Her hair was unkempt, her face was bruised, and she had been kicked all over. Apparently, she had been tortured in here for a while. Helen was just a civilian, so she had never gone through such abuse. Understandably, she was distraught.

Matthew calmed her down and video-called Sasha after Helen had settled down a little.

Back in the villa at Grand Garden, Demi complained, “It’s been an hour. A whole hour! What’s taking that loser so long? If Mom’s hurt, I’m giving him a piece of my mind! You guys shouldn’t have trusted him! He’s going to get Mom killed.”

James sighed. “What should we do? If something happens to your mother, I don’t think I’d be able to face it. Sasha, can Matthew really save her?”

Before Sasha could say anything, Liam said, “No way, Dad. The Lewises are behind this. There’s no way someone like Matthew could stand up against them. Besides, we don’t even know where they’re keeping Mom, so how are we supposed to save her? You shouldn’t have let Matthew handle this.”

James sighed again. He was starting to regret his decision as well.

Sasha snapped, “Shut up, will you? It hasn’t even been an hour. He’ll save her. I’m sure of it.”

Demi snickered. “You still think he can make it? Well, if he can bring Mom home, I’ll eat my words!”

Liam sneered. “Forget it, Sasha. That loser isn’t as powerful as you think he is. You’re gonna regret it if something happens to Mom.”

Sasha paled, but then her phone rang. When she saw who it was, some color returned to her face. “It’s Matthew! He’s got news!”

James huddled closer. “So? Did he find your mother? How is she?”

Demi and Liam scoffed.

“I bet he’s giving up. It’s almost time, so I bet he’s trying to blame someone else for his incompetence.

Well, I’m not letting it go. He promised to save Mom, and I will hold it against him.”

Sasha ignored her and took the video call. But before Matthew could say anything, Demi shouted, “It’s been an hour, Matthew! If anything happens to my mother, I will kill you!”

Matthew frowned in annoyance, but he said nothing and simply aimed the phone’s camera at Helen.

Demi didn’t even bother looking at the screen and continued shouting, “Don’t even think about running, Matthew! You—”

At this moment, James darted over and slapped his b*tch of a daughter. “Get lost, you moron! Give me the phone! That’s your mother! Matthew found her!”
