Chapter 325
Wilhelmina’s heart skipped a beat. She fought to maintain her composure.
“Matt, what’s that supposed to mean? Isn’t it obvious that Willow is using that kid to get to you and turn
him against me?”
“Willa, did that kid actually push you?” Matthew’s
e bore into her, his voice cold and probing.
Wilhelmina, normally unapologetic for her actions, felt an unsettling wave of apprehension wash over her at Matthew’s icy Interrogation. “Of course! If Aaron hadn’t pushed me, how else would I have fallen?
“But Matt, please, don’t blame him. No matter what Willow might have influenced him to do, he’s just a
kid!”
Matthew’s memory was razor–sharp. He had only heard the recording once, yet he could repeat it word
for word.
“Aaron, Matt hates you, and he hates your mom, Willow, even more.
“Do you know why he hates your mom so much? Because Willow is cheap and shameless. She’ll sleep with anyone. Just the sight of her makes Matt sick!”
As Wilhelmina listened to Matthew’s monotonous delivery, her face drained of color.
She tried to speak up in her defense. But before she could, Matthew’s voice pierced the air again, cold and unwavering. “Willa, I saw the video. You tripped on your own.”
“I didn’t mean to set up Aaron and Willow! I genuinely didn’t realize he hadn’t pushed me! I was in so much pain when I fell. I was disoriented!”
He thought it was almost laughable that the one who truly disgusted him was the woman he had loved for so many years–Willa, the one he had imagined spending his life with.
