In the past few days, Tobias had also tried to persuade Cecilia.
However, she still felt that Selina should break up with Matthew.
In her opinion, Matthew already had a wife. This was a fact. No matter what the reason was, Selina could not be with a married man! Cecilia tried to persuade Selina, "Selina, a woman's reputation is of the utmost importance, especially for a noble family like us. If you and Matthew continue to stay together, what would others think of you? If your grandfather were to find out, he would be so furious at you." Selina bit her lip. "Mom, Grandfather really likes Matthew." "Yes, but that was before we realized he was married! That's why I supported you before but now I'm not," Cecilia exclaimed.
"Mom, please give us a chance, I really want to be with Matthew. Saoirse also promised Matthew that she would divorce him half a year later," Selina pleaded.
"Selina, you shouldn't marry a divorced man," Cecilia disagreed.
Selina gave a bitter smile, "Mom, I really don't care. Besides, I'm also a divorcee, I will also be remarrying." Cecilia was speechless.
"Just think about it again, this is no small matter," Cecilia finally said.
"Mom, I've really thought it through," Selina replied.
Cecilia heaved another long sigh.
She had made smistakes when she was younger, now it seemed that retribution did not befall her but on her children! "Selina, it's all my fault," Cecilia sighed.
Selina immediately retorted, "Mom, what are you talking about? This has nothing to do with you." Pain flashed across Cecilia's face.
Cecilia wanted Selina to stay hfor dinner.
Selina originally wanted to call Matthew over but Cecilia objected.
Cecilia didn't want to see Matthew at the moment.
Selina could only call Matthew to inform him that only she was having dinner with the Whitlock family.
Matthew was silent for a moment.

"Go ahead," Selina prompted him to continue.
"Saoirse wantsto have dinner with her," he blurted out.
Selina's breathing halted.
"You didn't have to tellthat," she said bitterly.
After all, she would be having dinner with the Whitlock family, so she wouldn't be aware of this, but Matthew still told her.
"Selina, I won't hide this from you." Matthew's voice was hoarse.
Selina took a deap breath.
"Go ahead then, after all, it's just dinner," she said with resignation.
Silence resonated from the other end of the phone, only his ragged breathing could be heard.
"If that's all, I'm hanging up," Selina couldn't stand the silence.
Later that evening, Matthew and Saoirse met up in a restaurant.
The restaurant had a romantic atmosphere, and most of the diners were couples.
Saoirse had chosen the restaurant.
She had ordered the food too.
However, it was all according to Matthew's liking.
She looked at Matthew while she ordered, "William, I remember that you like to eat salad with cranberries." "You also like lemon tea," she continued.
The waiter couldn't help but say to Matthew, "Sir, your girlfriend is really attentive to you." Matthew was about to speak when Saoirse interrupted, "Alright, this is all we would have for tonight." The waiter left with their orders.
Matthew's voice was hoarse, "Saoirse, I think it's better if we don't let others misunderstand." Saoirse's smile froze on her lips.
"I'm sorry, Saoirse, I've gone too far." Matthew felt his chest tightened when he saw her smile faltered. Saoirse shook her head, "It's okay, William." "Saoirse, I'm not a good man for you. You really should stop wasting your twith me," he sighed.
Saoirse took a breath.
She smiled at him again, "William, we have already signed the contract, are you planning to keep apologizing tofor these six months? That's not what I want, I just want to enjoy the remaining months with you, can you just promisethis?" she said.
Her blue eyes pleaded with Matthew silently.
Matthew's eyes flickered.
A moment later, his tense expression softened. "Okay," he agreed.
Reid received several photos.
It was of Saoirse and Matthew having dinner together.
The photos were taken at an angle that made it look like they were having a romantic dinner.
Reid was overjoyed.
He said to Caroline, "Everything is ready, I will make the media report it immediately." Caroline was overjoyed too, but she was still worried, "I just thought about it last night, won't the medial refuse to publish anything negative about Matthew since his influence is so powerful?" "Of course," Reid had already predicted it, "But there is one media company who would definitely publish the news, I have something on their chief media editor. He will definitely post the news regardless of Matthew's influence. As long as there is one media post, everything would be a breeze from there," he explained. Caroline's eyes shone brightly, "What do you think would happen to Selina when the news gets out?" Reid cackled, "What do you think?" He didn't really care about what would happen to Selina, he was more concerned about Matthew. Public opinion was important.
Even the most powerful man did not have complete control over public opinion.
Matthew had always had a positive public image.
However, after this event, his image would definitely be tarnished.

After all, what Matthew did was intolerable in the eyes of most m women if his reputation was ruined, his company's market value would definitely fall as well! Lothar's product had finally arrived.
It was a bag filled with explosives.
He tied the bag to himself and put on a large coat.
Before he left, he gently pushed open Yesseca's bedroom door.
Yesseca was taking a nap.
She took one every afternoon, a habit she had probably picked up from her stay in the hospital, she would sometimes continue to sleep till late noon. Lothar was glad that Yesseca was still sleeping.
If she was awake, he really wouldn't know how to say goodbye to her.
What he was planning to do, he only had a slim chance of survival.
Lothar touched Yesseca's face and said in a low voice, "Yesseca, if I can't make it hto you, you must take good care of yourself, you must," he repeated. Lothar placed a bank card beside her pillow.
All the money they had left was in the card.
Lothar stared deeply at Yesseca, trying to memorize her features. He then stood up.
He left the house.
When he arrived downstairs, he gave a call to Reid.
"Mr. Perry, I have considered everything you have toldlast time. Let's meet up at the park, we can discuss freely there." Reid was surprised that Lothar would call him.
He had thought that he would have to find him personally.
"I'll be there soon." Reid hung up the phone.
