Chapter 124

Sophia did not notice the situation in the restaurant. It was not easy for her to get Matthew to come over. She couldn’t help but nag. “You brat, you’re finally here. I thought you weren’t coming. The older you are, the more disobedient you. become. This is for your own good…”

Sophia’s eyes widened when she saw the sce

side. “Eh? When did this guy

come? Who is he? Why is he holding Val’s haar What’s going on?”

Matthew’s face was already dark. Sophia did not know who that man was, but he knew. It was Caleb. He had caught Valerie twice with him before. She had an ambiguous relationship with Caleb, especially the last time when he gave her a necklace as a gift.

That time, Valerie took out the necklace and confessed to Matthew. She acted so frankly that he thought he had misunderstood her, but now it seemed it was meant to mislead him. Valerie knew Caleb was not a good person, but she still flirted with Caleb secretly.

Matthew hated when someone acted one way on the surface but intended something else secretly. His eyes went icy. He stared deeply at Valerie and Caleb. Then, he turned and left without saying anything.

Sophia had finally coaxed Matthew out, but when she saw him leave, she was anxious. “Matthew, don’t go. Maybe there’s a misunderstanding.”

Matthew turned a deaf ear. He took out his phone and made a call. “Charles, prepare a…” He was going to say divorce papers but he didn’t have a chance.

Smack!

Matthew stopped and turned. He saw Valerie slap Caleb’s hand away. The tissue in Caleb’s hand fell.

“No need. Mr. Lane, I’m married. It’s inappropriate for you to touch me like this,” Valerie said. Her voice was calm and there was a smile on her face. However, the smile was different from before. There was no smile in her eyes, only cold disgust

Caleb stiffened from Valerie’s glare. He felt embarrassed. “Valerie, you don’t have

to make it sound to ugly. What do you mean by touching you…”

Don’t have to? When I received the necklace last time, I thought I was overthinking. Now, I am even more sure that Caleb is strange, especially when he looks at me as if he is flirting with me. Does he think he is very charming? No way! Valerie thought.

Valerie wanted to pull her other hand back, bu Caleb refused to let go after being humiliated. At this moment, a large hand grabbe aleb’s wrist joint tightly.

“Please let go of my wife,” the newcomer said.

Caleb looked up and saw a dark and menacing face. The overwhelming

intimidation made him feel as if he was electrocuted. He could not help but shiver. He was 5.8 feet tall, but the man was still half a head taller than him. His aura suppressed him ruthlessly.

More importantly, the man had said Valerie was his wife.

Matthew did not even give Caleb time to react. When he saw that Caleb did not let go, he squeezed Caleb’s wrist joint tightly. The intense pain forced Caleb to let go.

Caleb cursed inwardly. He almost thought his hand was about to break. He wondered how Matthew got so much strength.

Knowing that the man was not to be trifled with, Caleb was terrified. He said vaguely, “Sorry, Valerie. I didn’t mean to offend you. By the way, I remembered I still have something to do. I’ll send my aunt off. Bye.”

After saying that, Caleb quickly slipped away, not daring to look at Matthew.

Valerie frowned as she watched Caleb disappear. Although she was relieved, her expression did not improve. “Caleb is up to no good. I had planned to tell Katherine what happened last time, but she recently had a problem. I was afraid it would agitate Katherine, so I wanted to talk to her later. I didn’t expect Caleb not to restrain himself. I don’t care what he’s up to. He is not worthy of Katherine.”

Then, Valerie said, “Mr. Grant, thanks. Why are you here?”
