Chapter 128 She Means Nothing to Me
"So what?"
Matthew leaned back, looking all smug. His sharp, handsome features were calm and distant, making it impossible to read his emotions.
Shirley gritted her teeth but found herself speechless. He was truly shameless!
Mary held Shirley's hand, saying, "It's okay." She seemed to be soothing both Shirley and herself.
She looked at Matthew and said, "Whatever you want, come at me. Leave Shirley out of this."
With that, she turned and walked away, pulling Shirley along.
Matthew watched Mary leave, a complex look slowly filling his eyes.
Even after they left, the room still felt suffocating and tense.
Herman clicked his tongue twice. "Why are you so stubborn?"
Matthew looked at him. "What do you mean?"
Herman replied, "Do you think I didn't notice? The moment we walked in, your eyes never left her. Everything you did was to make her give in. But she's just as stubborn as you and would rather confront you the hard way. Let's see who wins in the end."
Matthew replied indifferently, "Nice try. She means nothing to me."
Herman glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Do you really like Laura?"
Matthew ignored him, poured himself a drink, and downed it.
Sam approached, looking at his bitten hand, hesitated, and asked, "Mr. Montagu, should I get a rabies shot?"
Matthew replied, "Get lost."
Sam fell silent.
Outside the bar, the cold wind hit Mary, making her feel nauseous. She hurried to a nearby trash can and vomited.
Shirley patted her back, full of concern. "Mary, why did you drink so much? He's making things difficult for us and willing to do anything for Laura!"
After vomiting for a while and feeling a bit better, Mary asked, "Could you get me a bottle of water?"
"Sure." Shirley immediately went to a nearby store for water.
Mary sat on a chair by the roadside, feeling the cold wind, trying hard not to dwell on those upsetting thoughts.
Matthew letting them go didn't mean it was over; he might still target Shirley.
Shirley quickly returned, handed her the water, and said, "Mary, here you are."
Taking a sip, Mary looked at her and said, "Shirley, you should leave Lindwood City. If he can't find you, he could do nothing to you."
Shirley was saddened. "What about you?"
Mary smiled lightly. "I fear nothing alone."
Shirley hugged her, saying, "No. At most, I'll avoid him next time I see him. I can't leave you alone. If I had known he was like this, I wouldn't have gone abroad."
She had been abroad for three months, and when she returned, Mary seemed like a different person, all because of that douchebag, Matthew!
Mary chuckled. "Can you really hold back?"
Shirley nodded. "I definitely can. At most, I'll wait for him to pass by before I curse him."
Mary was amused by her determination but didn't dwell on the matter further.
"Mary, Shirley." At that moment, Robert's voice came.
The two looked over as he walked towards them, his coat draped over his shoulder, asking in confusion, "What are you two doing here?"
