A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 389

"I don't care if she might become our enemy in the future."

Orson's voice was icy. "But Chad, if you lay a finger on her, you're signing your own death warrant!"

Chad was momentarily stunned, then let out a vicious, cold laugh. "Orson, do you, a stray without a pack, think you have the right to speak like that?"

After saying that, clutching his stomach, he walked away. Before leaving, his gaze pierced through to Matilda's face. "Matilda, you can't stay alive."

Matilda felt weak all over, collapsing onto the bed, gasping for air as she tried to catch her breath. The surreal feeling of a narrow escape, along with the terror that followed, overwhelmed her. Her voice trembled as she spoke, "What in the world just happened?"

"Orson, do you know?"

She looked up, but was met with Orson's silence.

The night dragged on, its vast shadows gradually swallowing everything...

...

Yvan and Declan certainly didn't expect an intrusion during their meeting.

And the intruder was no small fry.

Godfrey Walker, the youngest son of the neighboring Whty City's Walker family, had reportedly stormed in, ready to take down anyone who stood in his way, breaking into their office while Chloe was waiting on Declan's call. Godfrey just barged in like that.

Declan had always thought Godfrey didn't have it in him. He figured if Godfrey wanted to take on the Yeager Group, he'd have to fully take the reins of the Walker Group first. He never expected to be confronted by Godfrey so soon—and certainly not over Chloe's allure.

Chloe was stunned, staring as Godfrey burst in, "Godfrey..."

The word "dirty" irked Declan, his brow furrowing in annoyance. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

The idea of taking Chloe away from him was a daydream!

"I'm talking about Matilda! Where did you take her?"

Godfrey couldn't hold back his rage. "If you have an issue, let's settle it face to face. Why drag innocent people into this? She's Chloe's friend. Using her, does that make you feel like a man?"

Even Yvan was taken aback by Godfrey's outburst, his pupils shrinking. "Isn't she in Whty City?"

Godfrey turned to Yvan. "I gave them a house there to make their home. Recently, with Chloe gone, Matilda's been living there alone. But the property management told me, the door was wide open when she got back one day, and Matilda was gone!"

His first thought upon hearing this news was that Declan had taken Matilda. After all, it wasn't the first time Declan had engaged in such acts of kidnapping. So he stormed over, ready to confront him directly. If there was a problem, they should sort it out like men, not by dragging innocent people into their mess.
