Veronica kneaded her temples, annoyed. "Hendrey must be crazy."
They finally put an end to the matter with the hidden clan and yet, Hendrey brought Lamia back to the country.
Who knew what would happen if Lamia were to encounter Eleanor?

Matthew was all tied up because of work at Metric Technology. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the office door flung open. Sounds of arguments could be heard. "You can't enter the office, you really can't—"
"Matt?"
Standing by the door was Sasha, who dressed sexily. She stared blankly at Matthew sitting behind the desk. A smile blossomed on her face, filled with excitement.
The secretary quickly apologized, "President Kings, I'm really sorry. I couldn't stop her."
Matthew glanced at Sasha. His indifferent gaze showed no surprise. He then shifted his focus back to his work while waving his hand to signal the secretary to leave.
The secretary walked out of the office and closed the door.
Sasha, still immersed in astonishment, walked stiffly towards Matthew. "Matt..." Her voice was choking with sobs. "I knew it, I knew that you're still alive..."
She covered her rosy lips as tears streamed down her face, looking all pitiful.
No matter what, they were good friends who went through dire straits together. Matthew couldn't turn a blind eye to Sasha's forlorn state.
Despite her teary eyes, she tugged her hair behind her ear and smiled. "I knew it. You still care about me."
"Did that sc*mbag mistreat you?" He reclined in his chair, interrogating like how an elder brother would do.
She ignored his question and took a step forward in her high heels. "Matt, what's happening these days? How did you 'come back to life?' And you had your arm severed, why do you seem fine now?"
She asked in disbelief. She even reached out to pinch the arm that was supposed to be injured. The soft touch of the arm was absolutely real.
Matthew suddenly stood up and subtly moved a step to the side. "We can talk but no touching."
