True Love Waits novel Chapter 1319

Sheffield knew how hard Matthew could hit. If he continued to hit Watkins like this, the man would definitely die. He nodded at Harmon, and the two of them stepped forward to stop Matthew before he could kick Watkins again. Sheffield reminded him in a low voice, "Matthew! Stop it! This isn't helping anything!"

If he really beat Watkins to death, things would truly go south. He was rich, but he wasn't above the law.

Neville heard what his son was saying, however, he knew his son was in the wrong.

Before Matthew could turn his fury on Sheffield, Neville got between the two and faced a fuming Matthew alone. He tried to sooth him in a soft voice, "Mr. Huo, please calm down. It's my fault. I didn't teach my son well. Let me sort him out myself, please!" Seizing the chance, he turned to his assistant and demanded, "Why are you still standing there? Can't you see Mr. Huo's angry? Grab Watkins and get the hell out of here!"

"Yes, Mr. Chai!"

The assistant nodded at the bodyguards and put one of Watkins' arms around his shoulders to support his weight. Leaving took longer than normal, because the private room was in extreme disarray.

Matthew's imposing manner struck fear into the bravest of hearts. Everyone beat a hasty retreat. Neville had always treated the man in front of him as a junior, but at this moment, he was shocked by Matthew's foreboding manner and didn't know what to say.

His son had offended Matthew. Neville wouldn't have been so embarrassed if it were anyone else.

At last, Harmon came over and told Neville, "Mr. Chai, let's discuss this another day. Go home! Relax. Check on your son."

Matthew was so angry right now that he was in no mood to talk to anyone.

Now that Harmon was smoothing things over, Neville decided to help. "Mr. Huo, I'm going home to deal with my son. When the time is right, maybe we'll all calm down some. Then I'll bring him around to apologize."

Matthew shook off Sheffield's hand and warned him coldly, "If this happens again, I will probably get extremely pissed. If I'm angry enough, I start breaking bones. I hope your insurance is paid up, Mr. Chai."

Neville didn't know how to respond. He seriously considered sending his son abroad. Maybe that way things wouldn't get out of hand.

When it was just the three of them in the private room, Sheffield put his arm around Matthew's shoulders and comforted him. "Don't be so hot-headed. Rika's a hottie. She turns heads wherever she goes. And yet she still loves you," he said in a joking tone.

Matthew silently shook off his arm and glanced at him coldly. "Watch it!" he spat.

Sheffield's eyes widened. He looked at his own hand and said, "Hey, I'm a neat freak. My hands are absolutely clean. Why are you acting like this? Take a chill pill."

Matthew moved his wrists and said coldly, "I'm still pissed. I need to bleed off some of this extra energy. Maybe I should pound your face into hamburger!"

The two of them could fight at any time. In order to avoid another conflict, Harmon quickly stood between them and said, "Well, let's get down to business. So Matthew, have you found out the truth behind the incident?"

Knowing what he was talking about, Matthew picked up a glass of wine and gulped it down to ease his mood. "Yeah. It has something to do with a 3-year-old case. More than a dozen accomplices have been caught, and two key criminals are still at large."

Three years ago, ZL Group angered a group of gangsters over a real estate deal. Matthew had already thrown some money at it. Sometime later, they called Owen and let him know the money was gone. They wanted another cash infusion from ZL Group. Matthew was nobody's fool, so he turned them down flat.

Like unruly children, these thugs threw a fit. That might have pushed them over the edge, and they put a price on his head.

But why had they suddenly asked Owen for money? Matthew needed to catch the two escaped criminals before he could figure it out.

Sitting opposite him, Sheffield asked in a serious tone, "Camille Su might have something to do with this. Have you looked into that at all?"

"I'm not sure yet. My intel is limited. She did go to the fashion show in CBD." It looked like she had nothing to do with this, but he knew things were not that simple.
