Chapter 50 I Understand Now

“I’m not free.”

Matthew’s impression of Gideon was not particularly favorable to begin with. Now, seeing Gideon about to hit Aurelia, his opinion of Gideon had deteriorated even further.

He had given his word to Aurelia, assuring her that there would be no special favors for the Leedon family, nor would he collaborate with them. So, he was going to honor his word.

“Perhaps you should consult with our business department, Mr. Leedon,” suggested Gordon, the special assistant. His expression was rather stern. “Mr. Quigley is preoccupied with other matters, so please make way for now.”

Gideon’s face turned sour. Seeing Matthew’s unwavering attitude, he frowned and said, “It’s only five minutes. I just need five minutes of your time, Mr. Quigley.”

Aurelia, who was standing to the side, found it incredibly ironic to see Gideon, in front of Matthew, both unable to voice his anger and yet forced to swallow his pride.

After all, Gideon was a man who threw his weight around at home.

“Mr. Leedon, Mr. Quigley doesn’t even have a minute to spare,” Gordon said.

Seeing Gordon making thin

difficult for himself, Gideon’s face grew even more unpleasant.

When Matthew left, he glanced at Aurelia once more. Seeing the cold sarcasm in her eyes, an indescribable feeling stirred in his heart.

He was rather familiar with the feeling of being ignored by his closest kin.

“Let’s go,” he said to Gordon.

Immediately, Gordon followed Matthew.

“Wait… just wait a moment.” Melanie stepped forward to stop Matthew. She had to do something.

After much difficulty, she had finally gotten the chance to meet Matthew. She couldn’t just let it slip away like this.

Matthew frowned, his aura of aloofness becoming even more pronounced as he was abruptly stopped.

Melanie’s heart pounded in her chest. “Can I… Can I have a few minutes? Give me a chance, and give yourself a chance too, Mr. Quigley.”

“Mell” Gideon was startled. How did Mel suddenly muster the courage to confront Matthew?

“Dad, we’ve worked hard for a long time to collaborate with Quigley Group. The entire company has been working overtime for a while. Now, we’re suddenly told that we can’t cooperate anymore. Regardless, we should know the reason, shouldn’t we?” Melanie showed a hint of sympathy for Gideon, then with tear- stricken eyes, she turned to look at Matthew.
