Jade: "Stop talking about them. Besides, you don't have to worry. John and Lester prepared everything. Even Sophia can't say no to my brother, especially if she is under the influence of that drug."
Matthew heard everything they said. He was certain that they were talking about Sophia and Marcus.
Based on their discussion, Matthew could comprehend that Marcus was trying to harm and take advantage of Sophia.
At that certain moment, Matthew felt like a flame of fury ignited within him.
'How dare he do that to her? She trusted him! Marcus, don't you dare lay a hand on Sophia, or else, you will be dead meat to me.'
Matthew's eyes narrowed and his teeth clenched together as he glanced in the direction of those three ladies talking about Sophia and Marcus.
He didn't waste any more time as he approached them with his serious and angry expression.
"Where. Are. They?" He asked the three ladies with his stern cold voice.
Jade, Nyka, and Emma were quite surprised by his sudden outburst. He suddenly appeared in front of them, asking them a question.
At first, they just looked at him with a stunned expression. They had no idea that he was referring to Sophia and Marcus. They didn't know that Matthew was close to Sophia and he knew her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What are you talking about, sir? Who are you looking for?" It was Jade who answered Matthew politely.
She somehow recognized him. He was with Tristan Davis and Chairman Lu a while ago.
"Where is Sophia?! Where did Marcus bring her? Tell me now!" He asked them again. There was a hint of urgency in his voice.
The three ladies were taken aback when they heard that. They didn't expect that someone like Matthew was acquainted with Sophia.
They exchanged glances with one another. They realized that they made the mistake of talking about Sophia and Marcus.
They could tell that he overheard their conversation a while ago. Aside from that, Matthew looked intimidating and frightening right now.
They could tell that he was mad.
"Where are they??!" Matthew repeated his question. He was in a hurry but they were not answering him.
'I should find them as soon as possible.'
Jade, Nyka, and Emma just remained silent. They were hesitating to answer him. If Matthew learned their location then he might ruin their plan.
"No, we didn't know," Nyka denied it, buying more time.
"Yes, we don't know what you are talking about, Mr. Handsome," Emma supported Nyka's claim, and at the same time, trying to flirt with Matthew.
She saw that he's a good catch.
Matthew became more pissed off since they feigning ignorance, refusing to talk. He had no time to waste. Time was running.
"If you will not tell me now then I will talk to Chairman Lu about this. He can relay this issue to the University President. Do you really want to cover up for Marcus? Are you asking for troubles?" Matthew threatened them.
He had no choice. He needed to know where to find Sophia and Marcus before it's too late.
Matthew's threat was effective. Nyka, Emma, and Jade were frightened. They didn't want this issue to be raised to the University President, or else, they would be doomed.
"Queen's Hall," Jade finally answered him.
After hearing that, Matthew dashed toward the exit of the venue. He was familiar with the location of the Queen's Hall.
He was one of the alumni of this school. He studied here together with Tristan and his cousins.
The three ladies just watched Matthew's back until he vanished from their sights.
"Jade, I had a bad feeling about this. Do you think our plan will backfire on us?" Emma asked Jade anxiously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJade frowned and shook her head. "Of course not. Just pretend we don't know anything. We must deny it at all costs. No one should speak of this from now on. Let the boys handle this."
"Do you think Marcus has done it already?" Nyka couldn't help but worry. She was hoping that they were done already before Matthew could interfere with them.
Emma took a deep sigh. "I hope Marcus didn't mess up our plan."
"Don't worry, girls. John and Lester were still there. They won't let him pass easily. They can buy more time for Marcus to implement our plan," Jade said, giving them a reassuring smile.
Nyka and Emma just nodded at her, hoping for the success of their evil plan.
Just like what Jade said, John and Lester were at the veranda near the Queen's hall when Matthew arrived. They were making sure that no one would pass through that way.
The moment they saw Matthew running toward the Queen's Hall, John and Lester immediately blocked his way and stopped him.
"Buddy, Oops. Where are you going? You are not allowed to leave the venue and roamed around here. Go back now before we report you to the Student Council. You will surely receive a punishment." John was the one who spoke up, mistaking Matthew as one of the students in the university.
"Move," Matthew said with his stern voice.
John and Lester raised their eyebrows when they heard his angry tone.
'Who the hell is this guy? Is he looking for troubles?' Lester thought to himself, eyeing Matthew from top to bottom. This was the first time he saw him.
Then he leaned to John as he noticed something from Matthew. "He doesn't look like a student here. Have you seen him before?"
John who was now gritting his teeth just shook his head. He was pissed off by Matthew's rudeness.
"Who the hell are you? Don't you know us? I said go back to the venue now! Do you want to get beaten here?" John snarled at him with bared teeth and eyes burning with fury.
"Don't. Waste. My. Time! I said MOVE AWAY! Don't block my way," Matthew said to them through his gritted teeth. His voice was firm and chilly enough to send shivers through someone's spine.
