Chapter 179 Get Lost
Sam turned and headed back to the hospital room.
Laura was already hooked up to an IV. After being kidnapped last night and with her mental state already shaky, fainting today was a mild reaction given the circumstances.
"Mr. Montagu," Sam called out from the doorway.
Matthew, standing by the hospital bed, turned to look at Sam. His cold, piercing eyes locked onto Sam, sending a chill down his spine.
Matthew walked out, closing the door behind him, and headed to the stairwell. Sam followed silently.
In the stairwell, Sam blurted out, "I saw Ms. Smith getting into Robert's car. Mr. Montagu, Ms. Smith isn't as innocent as she seems. Robert is that man's nephew, and she's been getting close to him. With Ms. Griffin being kidnapped, it's clear..."
Before Sam could finish, Matthew punched him in the face!
Sam staggered back but didn't retaliate, lowering his head instead.
Matthew stepped forward, delivering a swift kick to Sam's knee, making him crumpled to the ground in agony. Looking down at Sam, Matthew's once charming visage twisted into a malevolent and icy glare in the shadowy stairwell. His eyes bore into Sam with a chilling coldness, a dangerous glint betraying a hint of murderous rage.
"I told you! Don't touch her! Didn't I?" Matthew's voice was chilling, making Sam's spine bend under the pressure.
"She kidnapped Ms. Griffin..." Sam struggled to say.
Matthew cut him off, "Whatever she did, is it your place to act?"
Sam fell silent, confused. Mary had sent people to kidnap Laura and had even tried to have her raped. It was already lenient of him that he didn't hit Mary. He just made her kneel down. Why was Matthew so angry?
Did Mary mean more to Matthew than Laura?
Matthew looked at Sam's expressionless face with indifference. He said coldly and distantly, "Go to Michael for your punishment, then get lost!"
With that, he turned and left.
"Mr. Montagu!" Sam was shocked and looked up at Matthew. He instinctively wanted to get up, but Matthew was angry, and he didn't dare stand. His eyes turned red, and the veins on his forehead bulged!
What did Matthew mean?
Was Matthew abandoning him?
With clenched fists, Sam felt he had done nothing wrong. But where could he go without Matthew?
In the empty stairwell, a faint breeze blowing. Sam took out his phone and chatted with Maria.
Sam: [Mr. Montagu doesn't want me anymore.]
Maria: [What? What happened?]
Sam recounted the events to Maria. After a while, Maria sent a thumbs-up emoji and then went silent.
Sam blinked. So, Maria thought he did the right thing, right?
Then why was Matthew so angry?
Matthew returned to the hospital room.
Herman was already there. His demeanor was grave as he passed an iPad to Matthew. "Here's all the footage of Laura returning home last night. I dug into those guys, one of whom has a sister-in-law who works as a maid for the Montagu family. Just a few days ago, a whopping two million dollars got wired to that maid's account."
Matthew took the iPad and checked it closely. His face turned extremely cold. "Who wired the money?"
