Chapter 424

Matthew didn’t say a word. He just leaned back into the sofa with his legs crossed. His gaze was cold,

Charles understood immediately. “Still denying it on your deathbed, Mr. Fred? Don’t blame us for what’s about to happen. After that, he turned to the bodyguards and ordered, “Cut off his hand

At the command, the bodyguards immediately dragged Fred from the bed. Then, they pulled out a machete and aimed it at his wrist.

Fred was terrified and screamed, “Mathew, you dare cut me?”

Matthew’s gaze remained indifferent. “Either we chop off your hand as compensation to the Santos family, or we let the Santos family know you’re responsible for the kidnapping. Then, you will face Louis’s wrath. It’s your choice”

Fred’s kidnapping of Angel hadn’t angered Matthew much initially. But because of Fred, he almost got buried alive in Pine Forest Mountain, and even caused Valerie to get hurt, It was unforgivable. Matthew had to make sure that Fred would pay for that

Fred was so frightened by Matthew’s cold gaze that his entire body trembled, Realizing the gravity of the situation, Fred immediately shouted, “Stop!

The bodyguards pinned the struggling Fred firmly against the table. Seeing they were serious, Fred’s screams became frantic. Matthew! Even death row inmates get a trial. Aren’t you going to hear my explanation?”

Matthew ordered, “Do ur

“Wait! I have evidence!” Fred’s voice broke, and the woman with him fainted from fear.

Matthew waved his hand, and his men backed away. Fred saw him approaching and said “I do have evidence, I was too busy those days. You sent me to the logisties department at the lowest level. It rained heavily for those two days, and I was in meetings in the office. Look, these are the meeting records. I was swamped with tasks. How could I have had time to kidnap anyone?

Matthew glanced at the photos and records. They did show Fred in meetings during those days. He was also photographed with others, which could verify his alibi. However, mere photos and records alone could not alleviate his suspicion, as it was still possible he could have orchestrated the kidnapping.

Fred was already scared out of his wits. He watched Matthew’s face closely. If Matthew didn’t believe him, he was doomed. Matthew wa

Fred didn’t know how Matthew could pinpoint him so accurately. While Fred was involved, Matthew’s precision in targeting him shook Fred to his was too sharp. core. Matthew only suspected him and no one else.

Matthew was skeptical, Fred, in desperation, raised three fingers. “I wear 1 had nothing to do with Angel’s kidnapping. If I’m lying. let me be hit by a car the moment I step outside!”

Matthew eyed him disdainfully. He was not convinced by such a flimsy oath.

Fred swallowed hard, knowing Matthew wasn’t one to make idle threats. If Matthew lost his temper, he might really end up losing a hand. Fred’s so–called evidence was fabricated. He had been fighting Matthew for a long time and knew Matthew’s methods and intelligence well. Fred understood that Matthew wouldn’t easily believe him, so he had prepared a backup plan. If Matthew didn’t discover the truth, the plan would remain hidden. If he did, the plan could exonerate him, as those in the logistics department wouldn’t dare to expose him.

Matthew stared at Fred, filled with suspicion. “You think this proves anything?

Fred’s eyes widened, “Matthew, you still don’t believe me?”

“Should I?” Matthew picked up the knife and aimed it at Fred, who immediately started trembling. “No, no…”

The room was suddenly filled with the smell of urine as a puddle formed between Fred’s legs. Disgusted, Matthew threw the knife aside and turned

Once everyone had left, Fred collapsed to the floor. He clenched his fist and glared in the direction Matthew had gone. “Just wait. I won’t let you

Outside, Charles asked. “Mr. Grant, are we letting him go? Do you believe him?”

Matthes said, “He’s full of lies. Keep an eye on him. If he didn’t succeed this time, he’ll definitely try agalın”

Charles responded, “Yes, Mr. Grant

Two bodyguards stayed behind to monitor Fred closely.

Matthew checked his phone. “It’s about time. I wonder if Valerie is done with work. Prepare the cart

He was about to drive to the Noria Group when Charles suddenly hesitated and said, “Mr. Grant, I think I saw Mrs. Grant over there.”

Ahead was Antique Street, recently renovated and quite lively. In the crowd, Charles spotted an Valerie. But Valerie should be at work at the Noria Group, not here

ctive woman who looked very much like

What made Matthew frown even more was that Valerie was accompanied by a man. They seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.
