Matthias began to rack his brain as he came up with a final decision.
He was the one managing all of Cindy‘s assets overseas, and he had a wider social network than her
too. It seemed more convenient for him to leave first and find someone to come and rescue Cindy later
on.
Moreover, his injuries were more severe, and he needed treatment as soon as possible.
After a long while of contemplation, he believed that he should leave first.
Matthias said, “Cin, let me leave this place first.”
Cindy‘s expression darkened right after hearing that. “Matthias, I was wrong about you! How can you
only think of yourself at times like this?”
“It’s not like that. Cin, trust me. Just let me leave first.” Matthias wanted to explain more but he didn‘t
want Arielle to know that he was planning to have someone else rescue Cindy after this.
However, Cindy was too selfish to think of that. She refused to think that Matthias was doing this for her
sake.
She had to leave this place, and she could never allow Matthias to snatch this opportunity away from
her.
Cindy sneered at Matthias as she put a distance between them. She then looked at Arielle. “I was the
one who answered your question. Shouldn‘t I be the one leaving this place instead?”
“Cin!” Matthias shouted in pain, “How can you not trust me when we‘ve been together for this long?”
“Trust you?” Cindy gave him a mocking look as she sneered, “You‘ve taken away my opportunity to
leave this place, and you‘re asking for me to trust you? You must think that you‘re so kind–hearted and
wise, don‘t you?”
“I…” Matthias’ eyes turned red. “Don’t you trust our relationship? Can’t you feel how much I love you?”
“Love? Hahaha!” Cindy scoffed. “We’ve been using each other, and you call it love? Are you kidding
me?”
“Use?” Matthias frowned. “Are you saying that you’ve been using me all this while?”
“That‘s right. You and Henrick are the same. I‘m just using you guys to get what I want. What an idiot!”
“Cin… Cindy, do you have to do this to me?”
Cindy was done talking to Matthias. She wanted to leave this place, and she told Arielle straight away,
“We‘ve made our decision. I‘m the one leaving!”
Arielle was entertained at the unexpected escalation of events between the two.
Cindy was nothing but a wicked woman!
“Speaking of this…” Arielle said faintly, “If you chose to let me stay behind and grow up in the manor, I
think I would have gotten rid of you already by now.”
Cindy’s expression stiffened. She didn’t say anything in response but asked, “Can I leave now?”
Arielle nodded. “Sure.”
Cindy turned around and ran out of this place as if she was afraid Arielle would change her mind again.
She had been running ahead of her without sparing another glance at Matthias.
Matthias felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a knife over that betrayal.
He collapsed to the ground instantly as if his energy had been drained out, not knowing whether to
laugh or cry.
“Cindy Moore… T–This is just great! I must have been blinded all this while!”
Arielle snorted. “Matthias, how do you feel to be betrayed by her?”
Matthias was still trembling in anger. “I‘d kill her if it happens again.”
“What a coincidence.” Arielle snapped her fingers. “Here comes your chance to kill her.”
