Matthew could not help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. It turned out that this was the plan all along. No wonder his mother was so eager to set him up on blind dates.
She was hoping to manipulate the next generation of Leon Corporation by getting close to her grandchild. That way, she could regain control of the company.
If Matthew had been cold before, his entire body was exuding a murderous aura now. His eyes were like glaciers, with traces of blood vessels still visible.

But if you ever bring this up again, don't blme for what I'll do." Gabriella's pupils constricted. She could tell from Matthew's tone that he was being serious. If she really pushed him, he might do something to her.
She remained silent, temporarily setting this agenda aside. It seemed like Matthew still had sfeelings for Lucy even though she was already dead. However, the living always had an advantage over the dead. All she had to do was tug at his heartstrings.
She had done the sin the past. Who knew what would happen in a few months? This matter could wait.
She shook off her thoughts and sighed as if she were dealing with an immature child. "Since you've made up your mind, I won't interfere. I'll be heading back, then. Take care of yourself, and don't go crazy. "The entire world's economy is at your fingertips. You realize how many people are eyeing your position, right?" Matthew could not be bothered to respond to his despicable mother.
Gabriella was accustomed to her son's cold attitude, so she walked out the door and left in her car.
Watching Gabriella depart on the security camera, Matthew felt disgusted. Why did he think it was a good idea to let that woman in just now? He knew very well that if he let her in, she would have nothing nice to say to him. Had he lost his mind? His desire to see Lucy grew even stronger, but he knew he could not act impulsively.
If he contacted Lucy right now and those people found out, all the efforts he had made earlier would have been in vain.
He suppressed his feelings and began preparing for the funeral in seven days. He also began his investigation into Spades.

Although it was just for show, Matthew wanted to go all out to make Spades believe him. He ensured that all his stores took down their vibrant signage and added white flowers to them, leaving passersby puzzled.
"What's going on with Leon Corporation today? Why are they changing all their storefronts?"
"Did their CEO have a change of taste? These flowers look like they're for mourning.
Someone nearby quickly covered that person's mouth. "Don't say that.
They're actually holding a funeral om The wife of Leon Corporation's CEO passed away, so he's commemorating her with the flowers. "They've chosen today as the memorial day, and 10% of the profits made by Leon Corporation on this day will be donated to charity." The passersby envied Matthew's late wife. What a grand gesture!
It seemed like the CEO of Leon Corporation was a devoted husband. RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
