Chapter 389
Matthew's dark eyes darkened. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line. "Wanda Lane, you're carrying so
much burden on your shoulders yet you're still thinking of helping others with their problems. D o you think
you're Mother Mary who preaches compassion to all living beings?"
"You don't have to go that far. And..." | wanted to say h e had crossed the line but did not dare to say it out loud.
It would be better not to mess with drunkards. | grabbed his arm and said gently, "Alright, alright. | won't help
her. You've had a lot to drink, and the lunch party is ending soon. Let's go back to the hotel and get srest."
Matthew stared atfor a long time, then he nodded his head slowly. | let out a sigh of relief.
Back in the private dining room, Matthew and | made up an excuse to leave earlier.
After we got out of the hotel, | was about to hail a taxi when Matthew tugged on me. "I don’t want to go back t o
the hotel."

I let out a soft sigh, feeling slightly helpless. "Then where would you like to go if you don't want to go to
the hotel?" "Anywhere as long as it’s not the hotel." Now that he was drunk, he was acting like a little kid. How
capricious!
The corner of my lips twitched as | removed my arm from his hand. "Then you should just go wherever you want
to. I'm going back to the hotel."
"I'm drunk," Matthew spoke in an aggressive tone. "If you leavealone, | might appear in the headlines
tomorrow-the president of Zimmer Corporations dropped dead on the streets after getting drunk."

He was a total fool after getting drunk!
I rolled my eyes at him. Then, | reached out and hailed a taxi. "The rest will cdown soon. Stop thinking
about where to go and just get in the car first."
Matthew did not reject this time. He obediently got into the taxi.
Matthew felt dizzy the moment the car engine started. He shut his eyes. | shot a glance at him and hurriedly told
the driver the hotel's nin a soft voice.
| helped Matthew get out of the car when we reached the hotel's entrance.
He lifted his head and looked around. The expression on his face turned awful. "I'm not going in." "Can you just
listen to me?" | knew that | should not stubbornly confront a drunkard head-on, so I could only patiently coax
him. "You should get ssleep. I'll accompany you to wherever you want to go when you wake up tomorrow."
"No." Matthew wrapped his arms around my neck. " Bringsomewhere you frequented in the past."
| struggled to get his arms off me. "Matthew, stop it."

"I don’t want to." Matthew was completely like a capricious little kid now. He simply refused to listen.
| could not take it anymore and shouted angrily," Matthew!”
Right after | said that, his arms were no longer on my neck. | had no idea when Theo appeared but he had
grabbed Matthew's collar and was pressing him to the ground.
Then, | heard a loud punch.
Matthew was drunk and could not fight back, so he could only receive the hits. Before | knew it, |
hurriedly pulled Theo away. "Stop hitting him. He'll die if you keep punching him."
Theo stopped and looked atcoldly. “You can’t bear to see him in pain?"
"Of course, she can't bear to seelike this," Matthew said as if he did not fear death, "She feels bad for me.
You've beatenup so badly, so how can she be able t o stand it?"
