Chapter 185 Your Home and the Son of Dylan Perez's Family
Maple Valley's renowned Whispering Pines.
Matthew rented a single room, where only he and Donovan were present. "Matthew, how are you handling the conflicts with your wife?" Donovan asked in a teasing tone.
"Mr. Blake, please don't tease me. It's embarrassing that my wife is dating a gigolo. It's too shameful to mention. However, what tricks can a penniless and incompetent woman like her play? She's digging her own grave, no one is stopping her, and she keeps demanding reconciliation from me all the time," Matthew said.
Donovan chuckled, "You're quite cunning."
"We're two of a kind, Mr. Blake. What would you do if you were in such a situation? Ever since that wench left, I've been living it up, surrounded by women. Seeing that wench rolling in the mud makes me even happier. I heard her lover has moved on to a wealthy woman and dumped her," Matthew said. "Mr. Blake, I heard your wife is very innocent, so this kind of thing wouldn't happen, right? I heard that your wife and the son of the Perez family..."
Donovan's eyes turned cold, "If he's asking for trouble, I won't stop him."
"You have a ruthless streak, I know that. To the point I'm here to tell you something. Sarah Stewart has passed away in prison due to a strange illness. I'm concerned that someone might harm you," Matthew said seriously.
"It's been so many years. I doubt it will cause a stir. Besides, I have recordings of her."
Matthew nodded, "That's good. Speaking of the past, your father's BlueOcean Estate Group was so powerful, on the verge of becoming the largest in Maple Valley, but Dylan Perez and others were envious. They lured Sarah Stewart."
"Don't speak of it. It's a painful memory," Donovan interrupted Matthew.
"Anyway, be careful, both you and your wife. She shouldn't be with anyone, especially not with the son of the Perez family. It would only cause you trouble," Matthew said indignantly.
"Who else can she be with besides me?"
"True. As long as you can control her," Matthew said. "One more thing, you've set up an audit department, gaining fame in Maple Valley. Will you take on external projects?"
"What? Are you auditing?" Donovan asked as he twirled his teacup.
"Come to think of it, Mr. Blake, you're always scheming. You knew James wasn't clean, so you set up an audit department. If it weren't for James' significant contributions in your early days of entrepreneurship, who knows how he would have ended up in your hands," Matthew seemed a bit apologetic for James. "By the way, I have an investment company under me that needs auditing."
"No problem, I'll inform Mario."
"The son of the Perez family has been vying for this project recently," Matthew leaned in toward Donovan. "If you secure it, it will make him back off."
Donovan smiled, "Should I thank you?"
The two discussed business matters in Maple Valley, and by the time Donovan was ready to head home, it was already eleven at night.
Today, Chloe went to stay at her mother's house. Donovan suddenly wanted to find someone intimate to confide in. His car headed toward Amelia's neighborhood. Amelia's home.
Chloe sat on the sofa, holding a ring in her hand, lost in thought. The ring was an emerald ring that seemed quite old. Earlier, Amelia had told her that Todd found Chloe.
Hearing her mother say this, Chloe was stunned, finding it hard to believe, as if in a dream. The woman in front of her was not her biological mother, and Todd was not her biological father. How could Chloe accept this?
She had always believed that her happiest and warmest home had nothing to do with her. Tears streamed down Chloe's face continuously.
"Chloe, are you okay?" Amelia said to Chloe, "Today, Mom wants to talk to your grandmother, so she called your aunt to pass the message to your grandmother. Your uncle over there mentioned, 'Barbara is really working as an assistant to the famous star Paisley?' Mom knew that Barbara is not simple, and Paisley's mother also knows who she is. I don't know how they met, but Mom knows that Paisley likes Donovan, and Barbara has always been jealous of you. Mom thought that they might use this against you, so think carefully about what to do."
Seeing Chloe silent and lost in thought, Amelia tightly held her hand. Chloe's hand was ice-cold.
"For so many years, Mom had forgotten about this matter. You have always been the most obedient and sensible daughter to Mom. Mom wouldn't have told you if it weren't for Barbara's incident today. This ring was the only token that came with you at the time, and now that your father is gone, no one knows about this. Mom is still your mother, don't lose your composure when Barbara brings it up."
Chloe remained there, tears streaming down her face. She tucked the ring into the innermost pocket of her canvas bag. Chloe lacked the ability to appreciate the emerald ring.
