Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 1035–At that point, Matthew lost his cool and yelled, “You went back on your promise! You’re such an untrustworthy guy!”
“And what about you?”
Danny stood up and began scolding Matthew for his crimes.
“You instructed for me to be killed the moment the clock struck 9.00PM. What trustworthiness are you talking about? I used to think you were just blinded by the hatred of the last generation, but yesterday I realized I was wrong. You’re just a jerk who thinks he can do whatever he wants with people’s lives! What else are you afraid to do when you can even kill your kin? You deserved such an end today!”
“You were the one who sought your demise! You could stay away from Alexander to avoid being implicated, but all of you stood by him! Helping him means you’re my enemy. Since that’s the case, why can’t I strike first?”
Everyone in the Griffith Family was now a foe to Matthew.
“Have you lost your mind? Alexander and I are brothers. Who else should I help apart from him? Siblings always help each other for the sake of the family, but you are the exception! You’re always obstinate, always lost in your own thoughts. If you don’t change, you’ll die by your own hands one day!” Danny said plaintively. He was extremely disappointed with Matthew and had given up hope in the man.
“At last, you’re being truthful. You’ve wanted me to die all along, yes?” Matthew laughed sarcastically as he glared fiercely at Alexander. With reddened eyes, he muttered, “Kill me if you have the guts to do so, Alexander Griffith! Or else, as long as I’m still alive, none of you can have a peaceful life!”
Right after his words, Matthew cast a profound glance at Zephyr, who was standing in the corner.
Zephyr had his head lowered and did not notice Alexander’s glare.
However, Narissa saw every single expression that Matthew made. They have no connection whatsoever, so why is he casting amorous glances at Zephyr? Don’t tell me Matthew is interested in that loser!
Well, that’s possible. After all, Zephyr’s face is far more attractive than that of any pretty woman. Narissa tapped her chin and nodded, seemingly in thought.
Elise had remained quiet the entire time and she, too, noticed Matthew’s actions.
She felt that Matthew was not simply blinded by hatred. His reasoning was not that of a normal person.
To be exact, he seemed to have really lost his mind.
If this were the case, talking to him would be pointless.
Alexander thought the same way as well. Hence, he did not continue the conversation and instead raised his hand, signaling to Raymond to bring Matthew away. “Keep a close eye on him. Send him back to the training base later and keep him there. Ask Clement to go with you as well.”
“Yes, sir!” Raymond nodded and dragged Matthew outside.
At this point, Matthew looked in Zephyr’s direction again. When he saw Narissa notice what he was doing, he laughed insanely once more. “You don’t have the guts to kill me! Alexander, you are such a coward!”
He then laughed the entire time he was being dragged outside. Clement couldn’t stand the noise and shoved something into Matthew’s mouth, restoring peace to the Griffith Manor.
Danny sighed as he turned and sat back down on the couch. “What should we do with Matthew?” he asked, his fists clenched on the armrest.
Ariel walked over to him and gently placed her arms on his shoulders.
She knew that he still wished for Matthew to repent.
Suddenly, an idea struck her and she suggested, “Could we try hypnotherapy? If he can forget all of his unhappy memories from the past, he can live a happy life in the future!”
“It isn’t that easy. Matthew grew up in hatred. If we remove that, he will become a fool with nothing left in his mind!” Elise replied.
“Becoming a fool is better than becoming a mad dog like he is now, barking at everyone he sees!” Danny expressed his resentment at Matthew’s current situation.
“We won’t know until we try. We’ve been working on this for a few days now, and it’s time for someone to pitch in,” Narissa said, implying that Zephyr should be the one to do it.
“Zephyr, what do you think about Ariel’s suggestion?” Elise asked.
Zephyr was taken aback when he heard his name being mentioned. “What?”
Obviously, he wasn’t listening to their conversation earlier.
Narissa felt suspicious when she heard that.
Normally, this loser is eager to create chaos and he jumps into every commotion he can. Why is he so quiet today?
Alexander tried to ease the tension and said, “My wife asked you whether it is possible to hypnotize Matthew to make him less aggressive.”
“This is related to psychology, which isn’t my forte. However, I can give it a try,” Zephyr sort of agreed to it.
Alexander then nodded in response, relieved that such a task was now Zephyr’s responsibility.
Everyone was exhausted after working on this matter for so many days. Thus, after making some small talk, they all left.
Zephyr, on the other hand, went to the place where Matthew was locked.
Clement was standing by the door, guarding it as a faithful guard would.
“Alexander instructed me to have a talk with Matthew,” Zephyr told Clement.
Hearing that, Clement right away took out the keys and unlocked the door.
When Zephyr was about to enter, he heard Clement reminding him, “You better stay close to the door, Doc. You won’t stand a chance against him if he manages to untie himself.”
Zephyr did not expect Clement, who was always as cold as a robot, to have such a considerate side. “Thank you for telling me,” he said with a smile.
Then, he entered the room, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
In the room, Matthew was sitting on hay, his limbs tied. However, he was sitting upright with his head raised, indicating his outrage.
Even if he was caught, he didn’t want Alexander to see him in a humiliating state.
When he saw Zephyr, he smiled and looked as if everything was under his control. “You’re here, Sir Lorwhal.”
Zephyr stood in front of Matthew, his almond-shaped eyes looking down at the man. “You shouldn’t do something so stupid to provoke Alexander at this point. After this, he’ll only raise his guard. What do you or I gain from this, then?”
“Don’t get upset, Sir Lorwhal. My plan is flawless. Alexander is a cunning one, but this also proves his deviousness, doesn’t it?” Matthew narrowed his eyes and revealed a devil-may-care smile.
“No. This only proves how stupid you are!” Zephyr couldn’t contain his heartfelt words.
That made Matthew’s expression change. “Sir Lorwhal, why are you so agitated? Don’t you remember your old friend who is ill?”
“You don’t have to remind me. I’ll keep my promise!” Zephyr paused for a moment before continuing angrily, “Just stop causing me trouble!”
“Don’t be concerned. Once bitten, twice shy. I won’t act recklessly again. However, the conditions here are terrible, Sir Lorwhal. You have to resolve this for me, eh?”
In short, Matthew wanted Zephyr to let him out.
“What nonsense are you spewing?” Zephyr growled. “If I let you out, wouldn’t it be obvious that Alexander has a traitor around him? You are not going to die here, so just bear with it.” With that, he turned around and left.
Seeing Zephyr’s retreating figure, Matthew gritted his teeth as a flash of evil glinted in his eyes.
How dare this doctor treat me so lightly?!
I’ll make you pay for how you’ve treated me today, Zephyr Lorwhal!
