chapter 316
In a surge of emotion, Aaron shoved Matthew once more. This time, Matthew didn’t shove him back; instead, his men pinned Aaron forcefully to the ground,
“Matthew, tell them to let Aaron gol”
Willow was on the edge, contemplating dialing 911, but she knew better than to underestimate Matthew. If he had the guts to show up, he had a plan, and she wouldn’t get a chance to call for help.
As the night sky grew darker, the complex stood deserted, with no sign of life outside. Even the security
guard had vanished into a nearby shack, deep in the throes of a snooze.
“Matthew, you can head to my apartment. There’s a computer there, and I’ve left the USB drive on it. That’s where you’ll find the truth!”
Willow had been soaking in medicinal baths at Moses’s place practically every day for a month. Moses swore that after a month of his treatments, her stomach would hold up, even without popping pills.
But perhaps due to all the emotional upheaval, her stomach was acting up again. It spasmed like crazy.
Willow gripped her stomach, drawing in a deep breath before speaking again. “Matthew, Aaron couldn’t

“You’ve seen Aaron. He’s weak and barely has any strength left in him. He couldn’t even knock over a kid,
let alone Wilhelmina!
“Matthew, you can’t just take Wilhelmina’s word as gospel. Remember all the times she’s tried to sabotage me? It isn’t me who’s in the wrong here, Matthew. It’s Wilhelmina!”
“Willow, yeah, Willa messed up before, but she’s different now. She’s got bite marks from that cripple on
her hand!
“Willa was only trying to help him, and he bit her. Why wouldn’t he push her?”
Matthew shot Aaron a contemptuous look before speaking. ‘This cripple just foolishly tried to shove me!
“He pushed me, and he got what he deserved. But Willa was wearing heels today! She was already off- balance, and then this cripple pushed her and bit her. It’s no wonder she got hurt!”
“Matthew, you don’t have solid evidence. You can’t just throw accusations at Aaron like that! But I do have proof. Matthew, please! Just take a look at what’s on this USB drive!”
Matthew didn’t say a word. Instead, he released Willow’s chin and took the USB drive from her hand.
Willow thought he was on board to check out the contents. But she had misjudged Matthew’s cruelty and arrogance. He smirked, then coldly hurled the USB drive away.
“Matthew, you’re a lost cause!” Willow was boiling with rage, but her main focus was on getting the drive
back.
Before she could even take a step, Matthew shoved her hard against the nearby wall. With a nod from
Matthew, his men hoisted Aaron up and held a glinting knife to his eye.
Matthew’s eyes held a chilling contempt as he looked at Willow, as if she were the lowest of the low.
“Willow, you have two choices,” Matthew said coldly. “Either I gouge out this cripple’s eye, or you become my woman.”
“Matthew, you’re crazy! I won’t let you hurt Aaron!” Willow snapped back. Matthew’s gaze turned even colder, making the air feel heavy.
“You don’t want me to take his eye? Fine, then you belong to me. Willow, you better start pleasing me,” he
