Chapter 528 A Bit Awkward
She tried to get up, but the pain all over her body made her fall back onto the bed.
Her face instantly turned pale!
Bastard!
Thinking about what Matthew had done, Mary's eyes filled with tears again, but she forced herself not to cry!
She brought this on herself!
She should never have agreed to his demands!
What a performance!
It would be better if she just died!
Mary pulled the blanket over herself, trying to calm down.
She didn't know how long it took, but eventually, her emotions finally settled down. She got up and dragged her sore legs to wash up.
When she came out, she saw Matthew sitting on the couch in the living room, exuding a cold aura.
Mary didn't even glance at him and walked straight out.
Matthew withdrew his gaze indifferently and said to the person on the phone, "Get the footage from the dashcam in Mary's car."
She said she was attacked last night, but he checked the underground garage and there was no surveillance, so no one knew what happened!
"Yes!"
Michael responded.
Matthew continued, "Look into Sean's background."
Michael, "Yes."
The call ended.
Matthew pinched the bridge of his nose, then grabbed his coat and left.
Mary arrived at the studio, not in a good state. To hide her fatigue, she put on makeup.
Sean was already there, sitting at his workstation, clumsily using the mouse with his left hand.
Mary asked, "Why didn't you take a break?"
His right hand was injured; he could have taken time off.
Seeing her, Sean thought of the voice message he received last night and looked uneasy, "I didn't have much to do, so I came in."
Mary also thought of last night's events, pursed her lips slightly, and returned to her workstation.
The atmosphere between them was quite awkward.
When Maria arrived and saw Sean's injury, she immediately asked, "What happened?"
Sean said, "I hurt it accidentally."
Maria said, "Then go home and rest. Come back when you're better."
Sean shook his head, "I'm fine. I can still work."
Maria insisted, "Your hand is important for drawing in the future. If something goes wrong, you'll regret it. Go home and rest."
Since Maria said so, Sean couldn't stay any longer.
He took a deep look at Mary before turning to leave.
Maria then came to Mary's side, discussed the client's requirements, and seeing her haggard look, asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Mary said, "I didn't sleep well."
Maria gave a knowing smile, "Being married is different. Staying up all night, you need to take care of your health."
Mary remained silent.
She tugged at the corner of her mouth but couldn't smile.
In the following days, Mary didn't go to Montagu Mansion, and Matthew didn't appear in front of her.
That night's events felt like a nightmare.
Only the burning pain in her genitals reminded her that it wasn't a dream; it had all happened.
A week later.
Mary received a message from Sophia.
Laura had fallen into the trap!
Developing the land into a residential area required a large amount of building materials. As long as there was a problem with these materials or some trickery in the contract, given Laura's impatient nature, she wouldn't notice.
