William looked deranged. The Grant family had a young child and two elderly people, and none of them could put up a fight. If he took them hostage, Matthew would have to yield.


    William was determined to make the entire Grant family kneel and pay with their lives at the spot where Sheldon had died.

    Matthew gave Tracy a ride home. When they arrived at the residential area, she was reluctant to get out of the car.


    Noticing Tracy wasn''t moving at all, Matthew turned to ask, "What''s wrong?"


    Tracy looked a little flustered. "I can usually hold my own, but I somehow got knocked out today without knowing. The culprits must be pretty skilled. I''m worried they mighte to my ce to find me." Only then did Matthew remember that Tracy stayed alone. "What do you reckon?"


    Tracy thought of how well Matthew could fight. "Why don''t you stay over at my ce tonight?"


    Matthew was taken aback. Everything felt like a storyline in the TV shows. He wondered what was going through Tracy''s mind and asked again, "Are you sure you want me to stay at your ce?"


    Tracy immediately realized how her words could be taken the wrong way. "I mean it''d be safer with someone else at my ce, not what you''re thinking"


    Matthew shook his head. "I wasn''t implying anything. But having me stay overnight doesn''t look good for my image."


    Annoyed, Tracy red at Matthew. "What do you take me for?"


    Matthew wanted to reassure Tracy that she was safe. After all, she had been dragged into this because of Rachel. The Smiths wouldn''te after her.


    The only person in danger right now was Rachel, and the Smith family might be scheming something. But upon seeing how worried Tracy was, Matthew knew she was shaken up by what happened that day.


    After pausing for a moment, Matthew suggested, "Staying at your ce is kind of awkward for me, and dropping you off at Rachel''s is too far. How abouting to my ce instead?"


    Tracy sported a horrified look. "How is sleeping at your ce any different from sleeping at my ce?"


    Feeling speechless, Matthew retorted, "Of course, there is! My dad and my daughter are at home. You''re not seriously worried I''d do something, are you?"


    Tracy thought about it and agreed. "Let''s get going. I''m beaten and all sweaty. I''ll shower at your ce and get to bed early."


    After getting her on board, Matthew started driving back home.


    ...


    A red car was parked near the


    entrance of the Grant residence in Silverbrook Vige. Hiding in the car, Tessa watched the entrance intently, waiting for Matthew to show up.

    Soon, she saw a luxury car parked by the roadside. Just as she was about to step out of the car, she suddenly spotted a woman getting out of the luxury car. Under the streetlight, Tessa could make out the woman''s sexy figure and gorgeous face. No doubt the woman was an alluring and seductive type.


    Huh? Did Matthew bring another woman home behind Rachel''s back?


    Tessa gave up on the idea of getting out of her car. She then watched Matthew and the woman chatting happily as they entered the yard.


    Tessa felt awful about it. She used to think Matthew was a total loser after getting out of prison. Little did she know, he might be a nobody in her eyes, but other women saw him as quite the catch.


    In particr, there was Rachel, the president of Wealthwave Group, and this other woman who threw herself at him.novelbin


    The longer Tessa thought about it,


    the more she regretted it. With that


    woman around, Tessa knew she wouldn''t be able to borrow any. money After some thought, she

    Stanley and Lillian were watching TV with Lorraine when Matthew walked in with a woman.


    Lillian exchanged nces with Stanley before standing up. "I didn''t know you were bringing a friend over, Matt. Let me get you some water."


    Tracy smiled and replied, "Thanks a lot, Mrs. Grant."
