Valerie’s heart tightened. Fortunately, Matthew was faster. The moment the elevator door closed, the streamers were blocked outside. They did not give up and went down the stairs.
Fortunately the elevator was faster. After the two arrived at the underground garage, Matthew brought Valerie in the car and door.

through the back
Seeing they could not catch up, some streamers were so angry that they stomped their feet on the spot. Some other streamers hurriedly took a taxı and chased after them.
“Damn it! How could
let that wor
woman run away! Why didn’t you watch her closely!”
“How can you blame us for it? Someone scattered money in the corridor. You guys all went to pick up the money, and I wanted it, too
“Stop arguing. Step on It Don’t lose them!”
The few strea
streamers cursed at each other and urged the taxi driver to speed up. They did not notice a car hiding at the comer not far away.
After watching the taxi drive away, Matthew started the car ragain and headed slowly in the opposite direction, Valerie sat on the passenger seat, sti wearing his jacket and the hat that covered her whole face.
“It’s all right now”
After Matthew finished speaking, Valerie seemed tired. She hid her face under the hat and whispered. “Mr. Grant, thank you for saving me again?
She used the word save, not help. She couldn’t imagine what would have happened next if Matthew hadn’t come in time.
However, after thanking Matthew, she did not know how to face him or explain what had happened. She could only hide under the hat and try to calm herself down. She thought about what to do next since things had already become so bad
After an unknown period, the car suddenly stopped
Matthew’s voice sounded. “We’re here. Get out of the car.”
“We’re here” Valerie wondered, Where are we?
Valerie took off her hat in confusion and glanced out the car window. She realized it was a neighborhood she had never been to before.
While she was hesitating, Matthew had already gotten our of the car and walked around to her side to open the door for her.
Valerie had no choice but to get out of the car. However, as she reached the second floor, she heard a familiar voice say. “Matthew, where’s Val? Chop–chop. Bring her in
That voice sounded very
familiar Valerie’s heart tightened, and she immediately turned around to go downstairs.
Seeing her run away, Sophia panicked. “Hey, why is Val leaving? Mathew, what’s going on?”
Matthew frowned slightly. After assuring Sophia that nothing was wrong, he chased after Valerie. He was tall and had long legs. Not only did he easily catch up to Valerie, but he also blocked her path.
“Where are you going?” asked Mathew.
Valerie wa
was anxious and helpless. “Mr. Grant, why did you bring g me here! You saw what happened tonight. If those people find out I’m here, they’ll
cause trouble for Sophia!”
Matthew stared at Valerie’s head for a while. He knew i that no matter what he said, she might not listen. Hence, he just held her hand again.
“Come with me,” said Matthew.
“Mr. Grant, don’t”
Valerie struggled a little, but she was still forced upstairs by Matthew and brought to Sophia.
Sophia went over with open arms and said in confusion, “Oh God, Matthew has finally got you back. Val, darling, you’re in my house now. Why did you run after seeing me? Don’t you want to see me? Do you hate me?”
For a moment, Valerie did not know how to explain. Matthew helped her out.
“Grandma, Valerie didn’t know that I brought her here. She wanted to buy some gifts. It’s no good to come empty–handed for the first time
Valerie dad not expect Matthew to say that. She was stunned and quickly nodded.
Sophia was relieved when she heard dut. She smiled and said. “Ah, no need, no need. You should bring gifts to be a guest at another house, but Val,
to you coming every day just make yourself home. Forget about
don’t bother with that when you visit me at my house. I’ve been looking forward to you comin the etiquettes”
After saying that, Sophia held Valerie’s hand.
Valerie’s wrist was a little red from being dragged by Matthew Sophia’s heart ached when she saw that. She could not help but punch her grandson’s arm and fumed. “Look how rude you’ve been. You even lelt a bruise on Val’s hand. Val, don’t spoil him. If he dares bully you agam, let me know. Ell knock some senses into him for your sake!”
Valerie wanted to explain to Sophia that Matthew dad not do it deliberately, but Matthew had agreed to Sophia’s words. “Got it, Grandma
“Mr. Ma… Valerie was stunned.
Matthew leaned into her ear and interrupted her. “Call me by my
y name. Otherwise, Grandma will ask all sorts of questions again.
His breath was warm When he spoke, it was right beside her car. She could not help but shrink her neck. She felt as if something had melied her heart. Before she could figure out what it was, Matthew took her hand and led her into the house.
