Chapter 4

As the broom descended, Matthew's eyes flashed with a cold glint.

He hadn't even settled the score with Jennifer for abusing Lorraine, and she still dared to lay hands on him!

He grabbed the broom and forcefully pulled it, saying, "Go ahead, then!"

As a result of his actions, Jennifer was yanked forward, and she stumbled a few steps. With a thud, she landed on the ground face-first.

There was a pile of dog feces on the ground that hadn't been cleaned up, and her face landed right in it. When she looked up, there were a few pieces of feces stuck to her face.

She was overwhelmed by a foul odor and instinctively reached up to wipe her face, only to discover it was smeared with dog feces.

In a fit of rage, she yelled, "Matthew Grant! You actually dared to snatch the broom from me? You've really crossed the line! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

With that, she got up and lunged at Matthew again.

A chilling glint appeared in Matthew's eyes as he swiftly raised the broom he had been gripping. It seemed like a serious fight was about to break out.

A wave of terror washed over Jennifer, and her features contorted in fear as she froze in place.

She wasn't afraid of Matthew because she felt like she had the upper hand as his mother-in-law. Matthew used to be very respectful of her, so she had grown accustomed to having things her way. But when Matthew's intention to hit her became clear, she suddenly felt frightened.

Xavier pulled her back, saying, "Even I can't win against him, Mom. You're only going to humiliate yourself by confronting him."

Jennifer was still somewhat unwilling to give up. While relying on her status as Matthew's mother-in-law, she shouted, "You think he would dare lay his hands on me? I'm his mother-in-law, for crying out loud!" Xavier exclaimed, "Matthew isn't the same person anymore, Mom! Didn't you see what he did to me?"

As soon as she heard that, Jennifer suddenly snapped out of her delusion. As she took another look at Matthew, she realized that he had truly changed.

At that moment, Matthew was holding the broom with one hand, his eyes gleaming with malice. The way he held himself was so intimidating that it could send chills down everyone's spines.

It was only then that Jennifer suddenly realized that Matthew had only recently been released from prison.

A wave of fear washed over her as she considered the idea that prison could turn even a good person into a heartless brute.

At that thought, she shrank back in fear.
