Chapter 147
“I’ve liked Matthew for many years. Everyone in the circle knows he treats me very
well. But since you appeared, he has refused to see me. I even came here secretly after I got the news of the gathering.
“I deliberately took your seat, planning to make you embarrassed. But I regret it. I shouldn’t have been so unruly. Making trouble for you is no different from making trouble for Matt. I’ll never do such stupid things again. I’m sorry.
“But I long for Matt. I can’t imagine how miserable I’d be without him. I don’t like playing dirty tricks or even conspiracies. So, I want to compete openly with you on a fair basis.
“I know he doesn’t like me yet, but who knows? Maybe one day, he’ll suddenly realize that the person he likes is me. Luna, do you dare to accept my challenge?”
Helen’s words stunned everyone. Leo looked at her sadly, and something seemed to crack in his eyes.
He was very affectionate toward her. It was a pity that she didn’t
sense it.
It turned out that Helen was the Helly everyone mentioned when I first joined them for a gathering. She was the one who had been communicating with Matthew on WhatsApp.
I thought I had never done anything to offend her, but she
wouldn’t hate me for no reason.

The situation changed so suddenly that I forgot to react.
But Helen was pretty good. She showed her dislike toward me
openly, and her desire to compete fairly with me was also above
board.
However, I just wanted to be in love quietly without anyone’s jealousy.
Moreover, even if I became the winner in the end, would Matthew cut ties with her and never have any contact with her until death? I disliked being wary of someone and worrying about losing my
mate.
“Helly, for your dad’s sake, I won’t argue with you about what happened today. If it happens again, you’ll know the
consequences. Also, it’s my business to like Luna. My dislike of you has nothing to do with her either.
“As long as she accepts me, my whole life will only belong to her. She doesn’t have to compete with you. I won’t allow it. You don’t deserve it either.”
Helen’s hope gradually disappeared. She finally became desolate after she listened to Matthew’s words.
This scene reminded me of Thanksgiving that year. Felix had scolded me in front of many people, making me look worthless. At that time, I was also in such a state of desolation.
This silly woman hadn’t done anything wrong. She just liked
Matthew.
Matthew and I weren’t wrong either. No one was wrong.
The wrong one was God’s will, which shouldn’t play tricks on us. It always caused many unsatisfactory results.
Matthew angrily grabbed my arm and walked out, slamming the
door.
It wasn’t until he got in the car and drove for a while that his mood gradually calmed down. He found a quiet place to park the car before explaining to me about Helen.
“Helly’s dad is my dad’s good friend and partner. I’ve known her since we were children. But I’ve been living with my grandma in Southsville. I returned to Jinovy from Southsville after my senior year of high school.
“I only had more opportunities to meet her at that time. Over the years, I’ve only regarded her as a friend. I didn’t know she had such thoughts.”
He pressed on his chest. “Lulu, I swear on my name that I’m not lying. I love you very much. During the days when I left
Southsville, I was goofing around and in a muddle. At that time, I thought that if my bride wasn’t you, it wouldn’t matter who that was. A wedding would just be a ritual to me.”
