It was the woman who had barged into the villa previously.

Saoirse's neck stiffened at this sight.

It took a lot of effort for her to look at Matthew as if it was nothing.

She asked, "William, what is the meaning of this?"

Matthew's gaze then fell on to Saoirse's beautiful face. It was a look full of certainty, guilt, and all other kinds of emotions mixed together, "Saoirse, I first met her many years ago, even before I had even known you. It was at a ball and she was dancing in a brilliant red gown. She was beautiful and dazzling. I fell in love with her at first sight."

"Unfortunately, she rejected me when I professed my love for her. Later on, I went to Germany to attend to my father's affairs. And in that half a year, I went through many unimaginable obstacles, going through gunfire, even almost losing my life. Later down the road, I met you. Saoirse, you saved me. However, for a long time after you rescued me, my consciousness was always blurred. I often lost consciousness and didn't even know where I was. I know saying this will bring you pain, but Saoirse, even though I married you, it was never due to my own wishes." "After that, I finally woke up from a daze. However, during my flight back to my home country, I had to jump out of the plane due to the plane's technical difficulties. In that twist of events, I suffered from amnesia and lost memories of you completely. After some time, I met Selina again and I started pursuing her once more. Then she finally accepted my feelings for her. Saoirse, I was so delighted by this that I was planning to marry her before you arrived..." Somehow, Matthew couldn't continue.

It was evident to him that Saoirse's face had turned pale at his words.

A deep sense of pain flickered in his eyes as he added, "Saoirse, I love her. I love the woman in these paintings. I have loved her for many years now, and that won't change for the rest of this lifetime. Nevertheless, I am indebted to you as well..."

Matthew stopped for a moment and suddenly took out a gun.

This frightened Saoirse.

She looked at Matthew in shock.

Matthew put the gun into her hands. He then looked at her without hesitation, "Saoirse, I owe you my life. If it wasn't for you back then, I would have died in Germany. I'm sorry. I really can't return your feelings. If you really want some form of payback from me, then I'll return my life to you."

Saoirse's hand was shaking terribly as she held the gun.

In a trembling voice, she questioned him, "William, is this what you really want?"

Matthew's lips were pressed tightly together.

He did not answer her.

Yet his silence was an answer to her.

Erine rushed over to the Whitlock family's villa.

She told the servants of the Whitlock family that she was looking for Selina.

With that, the maids went to notify Selina.
