Chapter 187

Matthew's eyes burned bright with anger as he swung a fist at the dog. It was filled with such force that it seemed to whistle as it hurtled through the air.

The dog was sent flying, and it crashed against some flower pots, shattering them. The dog laid on the ground, whining in pain as blood trickled from its mouth. It looked like it wouldn't last much longer. Jennifer was frightened by this. Only then did she realize just how terrifying Matthew was. Her tone became a lot weaker when she asked, "What do you want, Matthew?"

He roared, "Xavier took Lori. Where is he? I'll kill him if he harms even a hair on Lori's head!"

This scared Jennifer. After what had happened the last time, she knew Matthew only looked mild-tempered on the surface.

He would turn into a completely different person if Lorraine was dragged into the picture. He would become so manic that it was as if he wouldn't stop at anything.

It hadn't been that long since then, but Xavier had gone after Lorraine again. She panicked. "I- I'll call him and ask. Give me a second!"

She pulled out her phone and dialed Xavier's number. "Xav, where are you?"

Lorraine was bound and gagged as she laid on the floor of an old factory. Xavier was with her, along with over a dozen burly men. They all held weapons.

Xavier sounded confident as he asked, "Why are you calling, Mom?"

Jennifer was about to say something when Matthew snatched the phone from her. "Where are you, Xavier? I don't care what you want or what you have in mind. You'd better not touch Lori, or I'll make you wish you were dead!" Xavier sneered. "Cut the crap, Matthew. Do you think I'm still the same man I used to be?
