Chapter 706 Chloe Has Become Shrewd
Barbara was crying, and Betty showed no sympathy.
If she let Barbara be, Barbara would undoubtedly go back to Jeffery, and their days would return to the past when they had no money. Betty had long had enough of those days.
Before long, Matthew arrived.
"What happened?" Matthew came to Betty's house and saw the mess. He knew Barbara had been genuinely angry. She was really annoyed with Matthew, not just playing hard to get. Matthew gritted his teeth. He was so wealthy that he would never allow Barbara to disregard him.
"Your girlfriend is throwing a tantrum at home. Mr. Parker, you'd better take her away," Betty said cheerfully, not caring about Barbara's situation at all.
"Really?" Matthew's lips twitched. He went to Barbara's room and pulled her up. "Let's go. Why stay when things have gotten this bad?"
Barbara's heart had already turned cold from Betty's anger. She had thought only someone like Chloe, who was adopted, would be treated this way. She didn't expect that even as a biological daughter, she would receive such treatment from Betty. Indeed, money was more real to Betty than Barbara!
Although she hated Matthew and he was the last place she wanted to go, because once she went there, she would say goodbye to Jeffery forever. She didn't want to trade her broken self for Jeffery's heart.
But at this moment, at least Matthew's face looked better than Betty's. So, she let Matthew pull her up, gave Betty a hateful glance, and then followed Matthew out.
Betty never mentioned the five million dollars from start to finish.
Probably, she thought having a daughter was to make money. Five million dollars was enough for her retirement. Since she took the money, she naturally had to sell Barbara out.
Barbara followed Matthew to a large apartment.
The room was very spacious. Standing inside, Barbara felt it was empty and quite scary.
"Go take a shower," Matthew said, looking Barbara up and down.
Barbara knew she looked disheveled, so she went to take a shower.
Matthew arranged for her to sleep in a room, and then he also slept beside her.
Barbara did not resist.
Barbara's path of love, from pursuing Jeffery, had led her step by step into Matthew's trap. Even if she struggled, it was to no avail. She accepted her fate!
Matthew didn't introduce Barbara to any TV shows. Since Barbara moved in, he hadn't mentioned it at all.
He secretly found out where Jeffery worked by asking Chloe.
He didn't ask Donovan because he knew Donovan was very shrewd. If he asked, Donovan would know Matthew's intentions. So, he directly bypassed Donovan and asked Chloe.
[Chloe, the handsome guy we saw last time, your student, does he work at Celestial Peak Building?]
Chloe didn't know why Matthew was asking about Jeffery, but since Matthew and Barbara were together, she was very cautious. [Are you looking for him? If you have something, you can tell me, and I'll let him know.]
Matthew looked at the message and thought, 'Chloe has gotten smart now.'
Matthew replied: [No, I just walked out of Celestial Peak Building and happened to see him coming out, probably going to eat. I remembered that day we were together, and he was also at the Celestial Peak Building. Just asking casually, I'm waiting at a red light]
Seeing this message from Matthew, Chloe let her guard down. [Yes, he works at Celestial Peak Building.]
That was how Matthew found out where Jeffery was.
