Chapter 290 Imprisonment
"You idiot! I told you to behave, but you just wouldn't listen. Who do you think you are? You're just a fool! How dare you go after Mrs. Montagu? You have no self-awareness. Get up and apologize to Mr. Montagu and Mrs. Montagu right now!"
Rodolfo was panicking. If Matthew got mad and pulled his investment from Lindenville, all his efforts would be wasted!
He grabbed Peter by the ear and made him kneel in front of Matthew and Mary.
"Apologize!"
Peter realized how serious this was. Rodolfo was genuinely furious, and if this wasn't handled right, he could be in real danger!
Peter, despite the pain, said to Matthew and Mary, "I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking straight. It's all my fault. I hope Mr. Montagu and Mrs. Montagu can forgive me."
He started kowtowing, making loud thuds.
He wasn't sincere; he was terrified!
He feared his actions would drag down all of Lindenville.
Rodolfo's eyes showed a hint of pain, then he looked at Matthew. "Mr. Montagu, what do you think..."
Matthew held Mary's hand, seeing her pale face. His heart ached!
He said coldly, "Do you think this will make me let it go?"
Rodolfo was extremely humble. "Mr. Montagu, I'm truly sorry. It's my fault for not raising him right. How would you like to handle this?"
Matthew replied coldly, "Send him to the police."
Rodolfo's face went pale, and he seemed to age ten years instantly!
"Mr. Montagu, I'll agree to any request. I can send him abroad so he never comes back. Please don't send him to jail."
If Peter went to jail, his life would be ruined!
Matthew looked at him coolly. "What do you think?"
Rodolfo's expression turned desolate.
He knew if he pleaded further, the investment in Lindenville might be canceled!
Matthew looked at Mary. "Are you tired?"
Mary replied, "I still have something to sort out."
Matthew said, "I'll go with you."
Mary glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to leave.
A group of bodyguards followed them, leaving in a grand procession.
Rodolfo slapped Peter across the face again, full of anger. "Why did you provoke Matthew? If you go to jail, what will I do?"
Peter was already in a daze and murmured, "I am going to jail?"
He clung to Rodolfo's leg. "Dad, save me. I don't want to go to jail. Please save me."
Rodolfo regretted neglecting Peter's upbringing.
He said, "You'll go to jail first. I won't let you stay there long."
Peter suddenly spat out blood and fainted!
Mary and Matthew sat in the car.
Mary looked out the window, her face calmer but her eyes still cold.
Matthew already knew what had happened.
He looked at Mary's face and held her hand. "If you're feeling overwhelmed, you can cry. I'm always here for you."
Mary's lips tightened, and her eyes turned red, but she didn't cry.
