Reid snorted. "Dad, you must have talked to him, but it was useless, right?" The awkwardness on Ludwik's face deepened.
Indeed, Reid was right.
When Reid's company had just started facing that crisis, he'd gone to find Matthew.
Matthew had always been filial, but he'd refused to help with the matter.
No matter how hard he'd tried to persuade him, Matthew would not agree.
"Reid, what happened between you and Matthew? Why is there such a big gap between you two?" Ludwik sighed heavily. "I only have two sons. I really don't want the relationship between you two to bectoo tense." Reid did not speak. He pursed his lips and seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, he said, "Dad, I don't want to mess up with Matthew, so I cto see you this tto see if I can improve my relationship with him." He paused and lowered his voice. "I thought about my relationship with Matthew. It went bad since eight years ago. Eight years ago, Matthew suddenly disappeared for a year. That year, I didn't contact him either. After he cback, there was a distance between us." Ludwik froze.
Reid asked tentatively, "Dad, what happened to Matthew?" Ludwik let out a long sigh.
He didn't want to talk about it, but since Reid asked, he had no choice.
Since the relationship between Reid and Matthew had deteriorated, he thought if Reid knew everything that Matthew had done, he might feel moved.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLudwik looked at Reid. "Reid, do you know what Matthew did for our family? He almost died eight years ago." Reid was stunned.
Ludwik seemed to be in a trance as if he was recalling something. A moment later, he said, "Reid, do you know that when I was young, I was involved in wars?" "I do." Reid had heard of it from Ludwik.
Ludwik replied with a "hmm" and said, "There was so much violence. At that time, a bullet of mine shot through a colonel's chest, and he was killed on the spot. It was normal during the war, but who would have thought that his family was very powerful. Their family was one of the richest families in Germany, and the power of his descendants was spread all over the Europe and America. They were not to be underestimated." Ludwik continued, "I didn't know about these things at the time. After the war ended, I started my business. While it was still expanding, I didn't expect to be recognized by the family of the colonel I'd killed. At that time, the Perry Group was far from its current glory in Matthew's hands. They vowed to make us repay the debts with blood, and to take my life." There were strange emotions in Reid's eyes.
He didn't know anything about these matters at all.
Ludwik sighed, "In the end, Matthew found out, and he went to settle it." Reid's eyes flashed with astonishment. "Eight years ago, he went off to solve such a difficult problem?" Reid really couldn't believe it.
In his impression, eight years ago, Matthew had still been a very gentle young man. At that time, he wasn't in charge of the Perry Group yet, nor was he so distinguished. How could such a warm and gentle young man solve such a problem? Pain flashed across Ludwik's face. "Yes, I didn't know how Matthew had found out about it. He went to Germany alone and said that he would solve this problem for me. After that, there were no news from him." "I even thought that Matthew was dead. At that time, I was ready to sell off all my business and purchase a large number of weapons. I was going to risk my life to avenge Matthew, but I didn't expect him to suddenly cback. He never toldhow he solved it, but I knew," He closed his eyes when he talked.
His heart ached as if it had been pierced by a knife, as he talked about it.
After a while, Ludwik finally opened his eyes. "I knew that Matthew must have suffered a lot, because I found that he had a lot of injuries and even gunshot wounds. But when I asked him about it, he refused to tell me." Reid's heart was in turmoil.
"How could such a big thing happen eight years ago!" He thought.
Ludwik looked at Reid meaningfully, "Now do you know how much your brother has suffered for the Perry family? Reid, if it weren't for Matthew, the Perry family would have been gone by now. Do you understand?" Reid pursed his lips tightly.
Ludwik's words not only did not move him, but also made Reid even more disgusted with Matthew.
For Matthew to solve such an important matter on his own instead of telling him, it was nothing more than wanting to seek credit for himself.
Otherwise, Ludwik wouldn't have handed over the Perry Group to Matthew seven years ago.
Normally in any family business, the one who was in the highest position was always the eldest son.
Instead, the Perry Group had been handed over to the youngest son.
Matthew was probably the one who had planned all of this.
Ludwik was probably whole thing.
exaggerating about the The richest family of Germany with a strong background? how could Matthew, who'd been just a young lad, have dealt with it? Reid didn't believe it.
The other party was definitely not as strong as Ludwik had described them.
If Reid had taken care of it at that time, he would probably have been able to settle it too. Matthew had just gotten the first mover's advantage. én.swReid's hatred for Matthew increased.
However, there was no expression on his face. "I understand now." Ludwik nodded in relief.
"But Dad, why did it take one whole year for solve the matter?" After a while, Reid said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLudwik looked confused too, "I asked Matthew about what happened during the year, but he didn't tellthe details. He only toldthat he seemed to have lost his memory, and one part of his memory was completely erased." Reid stopped breathing.
Selina had woken up.
She stretched herself lazily.
Her body was still a little sore after last night.
Thinking of what they had done, her face turned red.
When she was putting on her clothes, her eyes suddenly tea table next twept across the her. There was a note on the table. She picked it up and took a look at it.
It was from Matthew.
His handwriting was very neat.
Little girl, are you awake? Remember m to have breakfast. I have already asked Erine to keep the food warm." The corners of her lips curled up immediately.
"This man is so considerate, he even e left a note forbefore leaving for work" She thought.
