Rose coughed lightly. "I can keep him here for you, but you have to handle the rest yourself. I won''t involve myself in this." Despite iming no involvement, she was intervening by keeping Matthew there. She didn''t act justly as she said she would. Jeffrey was aware of the mysterious backing behind Rose.


    He dared not provoke this thorny rose, so he could only agree. "Okay, you keep him here. I''ll make a call."


    Following William''s advice, Jeffrey had made thorough preparations.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    He wanted Matthew dead but wasn''t so foolish to do the deed here.


    His real weapon was hiding on the dance floor.


    He was an ancient martial artist who was also familiar with modern firearms-a true killer.


    Jeffrey spoke over the phone, "Jaiden, there''s been a change of ns. Come to the private room."


    On the dance floor, a young man in a hoodie was dancing closely with a seductive woman.


    Upon hearing the order in his earpiece, he shouted, "Coming."


    He gave the woman''s breast a squeeze before disappearing into the crowd, leaving her bewildered on the dance floor.


    The atmosphere in the private room was strange.


    Tessa was absolutely terrified. The day''s events were beyond herprehension as a businesswoman.


    She felt suffocated. She was unfamiliar with Rose but could tell she was not one to be trifled with.


    Jeffrey was an even more prominent figure. Just a word from him could determine the fate of herpany.


    But what frightened her most was Matthew.


    He was no longer the Matthew that she once knew. His mere words earlier turned Jeffrey''s own men against him. She still couldn''t understand why.


    Since his release from prison, Matthew was like a tiger that came out from its cage. Everything he did was unfathomable to her.


    Matthew leisurely snacked on nuts as he watched Jeffrey call for his men.


    Feeling Tessa''s gaze on him, he turned to look at her.


    Startled, Tessa quickly averted her eyes. She didn''t dare to meet his eyes.


    Rose''s eyes were fixed on Matthew She looked at him for a long time but still couldn''t recognize him so she asked Jeffrey, "Who exactly is he?


    Jeffrey replied coldly, "A freeloading loser."


    A freeloader? Rose scrutinized Matthew once again, as if she was assessing his worth. She looked at


    his face, chest, and down to

    waist. .


    However, as Matthew was casually lounging in a chair, she couldn''t see much.


    But since he was just a freeloader, she dismissed him entirely.


    There were many freeloading men in the bar who were either handsome, silver-tongued, or physically robust.


    All these men shared amon trait-they were poor with no background.


    Thus, Rose didn''t take Matthew seriously.


    Still, she was curious why Ivan had


    turned on Jeffrey. Was it because of Matthew''s maniption, or was Jeffrey simply too harsh on his men?


    She wanted to question the two escorts but suppressed her curiosity due to Jeffrey''s presence.


    The door flew open at that moment. Jaiden had barged in.


    Jeffery, who had been silent, immediately perked up upon seeing the neer.


    He approached Jaiden and dered, "Change of ns. We''re taking a direct approach."


    Jaiden''s features were hidden beneath his hoodie, but his eyes were chilling.


    His icy gaze made one shudder with just a nce.


    Saying nothing, his eyes swept across the room before finallynding on Matthew. "Is that him?"


    Beside him, Jeffrey answered, "Yes."


    Jaiden asked coldly, "How do you want him to die?"


    Through clenched teeth, Jeffrey replied sinisterly, "In the worst way possible!"
