The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2055

My expression froze at his words and I even forgot to walk.

Matthew noticed how I was stunned and leaned toward me with a smile. I immediately responded, "What are you doing?"

"I noticed you’re in a daze, so I’m helping you out."

"Don't get so close to me."

"Everyone is talking about us anyway, so why be afraid?"

Matthew's casualness upset me even more. The soles of my feet suddenly slipped. I was wearing high heels and my feet were aching. I was about to fall but Matthew grabbed my waist and held me firmly.

"Are you all right?"

The drama of a hero saving a beauty was timeless.

If it were any other girl, they would probably be starstruck by Matthew. As for me, I just thanked him for saving me and the child in my belly.

"Thank you." My voice was very low, and I left his arms after I got up.

Noticing my actions, Matthew’s expression changed, but the smile on the corners of his mouth was still there. "You're welcome."

The sudden twitch of his eye when he let me go threw my heart for a loop.

I really could not get close to this Matthew.

"I believe that as long as one has the will, there is a way. You’re all intelligent, I suppose everyone understands why I’ve gathered you all here today."

Matthew glanced at them. His voice was light, but there was a heavy threat to it.

The people below nodded. "I think I get it, but does President Zimmer have a detailed plan?"

The people he invited were not many, but they were leaders in various industries. Even if they were not the first, they were definitely part of the top ten company managers. It would be difficult for Theo once they join forces.

"Of course, I have a plan, but since Miss Lane is present, I think we should keep a low profile. As long as we reach cooperation, we can head over to the conference room to discuss it in detail. What are your thoughts?"

"Since this banquet was specially organized for this then I’ll be direct. Theo is a high-handed man. We can't compete with him for projects. He can just remain within the entertainment industry. But it would be despicable if he were to step down together with us. How are we supposed to manage then?”
