Chapter 61 He is Unruly and Defiant
At this moment, Matthew's demeanor suddenly turned fierce. His eyes held a cold and eerie light, and he looked at the butler as if he were looking at a dead man!
The butler instantly felt immense pressure enveloping him. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, hastily turning to Mary.
"Mrs. Montagu, I sincerely apologize for my earlier hastiness and offense. Please forgive me this time since I am no one."
He bowed, showing extreme deference, a stark contrast to his earlier intimidating presence.
However, before Mary spoke, Matthew questioned the butler in a cold voice, "With these empty words, you expect my wife's forgiveness? Do you deserve it?"
The butler was taken aback and asked, "Mr. Montagu, then what do you want?"
Matthew replied, "You are the one asking for forgiveness. Yet it seems you lack sincerity. Is this how the Johnsons behave?"
At his words, the butler's legs trembled, and he quickly said, "No, it's all my fault. There is nothing to do with the Johnson family. Mr. Montagu, I know my fault. I truly do, please sapre me, Mr. Montagu."
The butler couldn't afford to incur Matthew's wrath upon the Johnson family!
He would definitely be doomed!
Therefore, he had to get it done at this moment!
He turned to Mary and directly knelt. "Mrs. Montagu, it's my fault. You can punish me as you wish, but please forgive me this time."
Everyone's expressions froze when the butler knelt!
"What's going on? It was said that this woman was harassing Matthew and refusing to divorce him, wasn't it?"
"Matthew is defending her like this. It seems the rumors are false!"
"Am I the only one who feels sorry for Matthew's childhood sweetheart?"
What a drama! Despite such a big incident, no one from the Johnson family had stepped forward since the butler was one of their own. It was clear that Matthew had no intention of letting the butler off.
Mary watched this scene with hidden fluctuations in her heart.
Matthew stood up for her, his broad back like a mountain sheltering her from the storm.
How could her heart not be stirred?
Yet she felt that this support had come a bit too late.
She lowered her eyes slightly and remained silent.
"Mr. Montagu."
Just then, Jessica's voice sounded as she descended the stairs, her face showing a hint of guilt. "I sincerely apologize for my negligence. He has been dismissed and will not appear before you and Mrs. Montagu again. Can we continue with the banquet?"
The butler's face paled instantly.
Matthew's cold gaze fell on Jessica's face. "Do you cherish that earring?"
Jessica was taken aback, then nodded. "Yes, it's a keepsake from my mother."
Matthew sneered without reservation. "Such a precious item left so casually around. It seems you don't respect your mother as much as you claim."
The smile faded from Jessica's face.
But Matthew ignored her, taking Mary's hand instead. "Are you tired?"
Mary's fingertips trembled. "A little."
Matthew said, "Let me take you back."
With that, he turned and walked towards the door with her.
He didn't give a dame about the dignity of the Johnson family.
Unruly and arrogant, that's who he was!
Witnessing this, everyone thought Matthew was too arrogant!
While the Montagu family was the wealthiest in Lindwood City, this was Emerald Isle City!
A cold glint flashed in Jessica's eyes as she looked at the butler beside her and coldly said, "Useless, why are you still here? Get lost!"
