Tessa took Matthew''spany and divorced him. She was the one who abandoned the family, but now Jennifer med everything on him.


    Feeling exasperated, Matthew rolled up his sleeves. "You''re pushing your luck. I should''ve pped you harderst time."


    Upon seeing Matthew roll up his sleeves, Jennifer was startled and quickly stepped back, but she quickly regained herposure and pointed at the ground.


    "We''re at the entrance of Wealthwave Group. That president, who''s been supporting you, is up there watching. I doubt you have the nerve to hit me." Matthew sported a cold look. "Even if the Almighty is watching, I will p you."


    Jennifer shook her head. She was convinced that Matthew cared about how Rachel viewed him. Besides, the barking dog seldom bit. Matthew had to just be putting up a tough act to intimidate Jennifer.


    Thinking she could see right through Matthew, Jennifer indifferently dered, "If you don''t give me the money, I''ll show up at the entrance of Wealthwave Group every day with the banner. Since the president can see me from up there, you wouldn''t even dare toy a finger on me."


    Just as Jennifer wrapped up her sentence, Matthew pped her across the face. The loud smack was crisp and clear like a firework.


    After getting pped, Jennifer stumbled back a few steps and ended up on the floor. She could vividly feel a stinging pain on her face.


    With one hand covering her face, Jennifer eximed in disbelief, "Y-you actually hit me? Aren''t you worried about how this looks to the president? She''d think you''re an abusive person."


    Matthew was ready to smack Jennifer again when he suddenly heard someone calling for help nearby.


    "Help me, Matthew..."


    Matthew turned and saw Zachary running toward him, followed by a group of aggressive brawny men with baseball bats.


    Matthew was shocked. "What happened?"


    Zachary had brought some security guards over to stop Derek from vandalizing, but he was caught off guard when Derek swung his baseball bat at them.


    Those security guards were too slow to react and had already been taken down. Realizing that the situation had gone south, Zachary turned and bolted away.


    With nowhere left to run from the chase, Zachary was shocked to spot Matthew on the roadside. He yelled out like he saw a lifeline, "These people are smashing things at the door, Matthew! I have no idea w


    what''s


    happening. Hurry up and save me."


    Matthew let Zachary run past him. He held out his hand to stop the pursuers and shouted, "What do you think you''re doing?"


    Upon seeing Matthew try to be the hero, Derek raised his baseball bat and pointed it at Matthew. "Take him down! Beat up whoever dares to stick up for him."


    As he finished speaking, two burly men next to him raised their baseball bats and charged at Matthew.


    A cold glint flickered in Matthew''s eyes. As the two muscr guys came rushing in, Matthew darted forward. When his opponents were about to strike, he mmed his fists on their chest like a truck.


    With a thud, the brawny men were sent flying backward as if they had been hit by a speeding car. After being knocked back for about three feet, they crashed to the ground. Their baseball bats also fell from mid-air.


    Matthew reached out and grabbed the handle of one of the baseball bats. The


    rest of the group stopped in their tracks at the sight.


    Derek couldn''t believe his eyes when Matthew took down two of his men right away. He shouted to his men, "Don''t just stand there! Gang up on him and beat him into a pulp We have more than ten people!


    With the number advantage, the burly men swung their bats as they charged at Matthew.
