“No matter how bold they are, they won’t dare to act openly.


    ”


    Neville attempted to lighten the mood.


    “Besides, this person hasn’t shown their face.


    It seems like they just want to intimidate you.


    As for their identity, we’ll have to investigate carefully.


    Rx for a bit.


    ”


    Matthew’s cold and serious expression showed no signs of easing.


    He furrowed his brow, pursing his thin lips in deep contemtion.


    Neville poured him a ss of wine.


    “Don’t worry.


    I’ll do whatever I can to help.


    If you need financial support, the Pierce family is here.


    ”


    Matthew raised his head, meeting Neville’s serious gaze.


    “Thank you,” he said, lifting his ss and clinking it with Neville’s.


    Despite Neville’s assurance, he remained vignt.


    Matthew downed the entire ss without leaving a drop, his expression still gloomy.


    As he ced the empty ss back on the table, a sharp pain shot through his stomach.


    He instinctively reached out, pressing against the source of the difort.


    Noticing Matthew’s uneasy reaction, Neville set down his ss and inquired, “What’s wrong with you?”


    Mathew’s face contorted in pain.


    Neville furrowed his brow and asked, “Is it another stomachache?”


    Matthew pressed his Lips together coldly, choosing to remain silent.


    He hadn’t eaten since morning, surviving solely on coffee and a ss of wine, which now led to a stomachache.


    “I’m fine.


    I’ll be fine after a while,” he replied, his tone seemingly indifferent.


    However, the prominent blue veins on his forehead betrayed the extent of his difort.


    Unconvinced, Neville countered, “I’ll take you to the hospital first, and then I’ll call Ste.


    ”


    Attempting to deflect, Matthew restrained Neville’s hand and shook his head.


    “Don’t call her now.


    Just go to the car and get me some stomach medicine.


    ”


    Neville hesitated, sensing an underlying issue between him and Ste.


    “Hold on.


    Wait for me.


    ” Concerned for Matthew, Neville swiftly grabbed his car keys and headed out.


    After a while, he returned with the medicine and instructed the waiter to bring a ss of water.


    Once Mathew had taken the medicine, he eased back into the sofa, slumping his tense shoulders.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Seizing the moment, Neville asked, “What’s going on between you and Ste? Did you have a fight?”


    The rk family had publicly acknowledged Ste, so logically, everything should be smooth sailing.
