BXBX NOVEL Chapter 337 Insecurities
Matthew carried Sophia until they reached the car. He guided her in the front passenger seat before he went to the driver\'s seat.
Sophia was still silently crying. Matthew could only sigh helplessly. He didn\'t want her to cry but she needed to let it out.
Sophia curled in her seat, crying in her arms. She didn\'t want Matthew to see her vulnerable side but she couldn\'t help it.
She was hurt. She couldn\'t believe that Marcus would do this to her. She kept on asking herself why. She was greatly affected by this incident.
Matthew balled his fingers into a fist. He wanted to beat that jerk who made Sophia cry. He couldn\'t bear watching her like this so what he did next was pulling her into his arms as he let her cry on his chest.
Matthew wanted her to calm down first. After that, they would go straight to the hospital. He also brought the bottle of champagne with him to check it with the laboratory. He wondered what kind of drug they mixed with the wine.
"Shhhh, don\'t waste your tears for that bastard, Sophie," Matthew said, consoling her.
He was stroking her hair and rubbing her back as Sophie continued crying in his arms. They remained like that for several minutes before Sophia finally stopped crying.
"I\'m sorry, Matt," She mumbled.
Matthew was startled when he heard her apologizing to him.
"Sorry for what? This is not your fault. Why are you apologizing?" Matthew asked her in confusion.
Sophia finally broke the hug. He was now wiping her tears. But Sophia couldn\'t look at him. She felt embarrassed about what happened.
"For troubling you tonight," Sophia mumbled with her hoarse voice.
"And I\'m sorry… that you have to see that… Honestly... I\'m so embarrassed right now. I don\'t know how I can face you." Sophia told him honestly.
Matthew looked at her helplessly. "Don\'t think about that. First of all, you are not troubling me with this. Second, you don\'t have to feel embarrassed with me. This is not your fault. You are a victim here. I\'m glad I came on time."
Matthew heaved a sigh of relief.
"I will submit this champagne to a laboratory and have them check the drug content which was mixed here. You can use this as evidence if you want to sue him. I will help you."
Sophia fell silent after hearing that. She just lowered her gaze. She didn\'t want this incident to escalate further.
After a while, she shook her head. "I won\'t sue him. I just want to forget this incident."
"Okay. I respect your decision. But I won\'t let it slide just like that. He took advantage of you. For now, let\'s go to the hospital to make you feel better."
Sophia just nodded her head in agreement. She felt grateful for Matthew. She didn\'t expect him to do this for her.
Soon, Matthew started the car. They left the University of Imperial Knights and went to the nearest hospital.
Meanwhile, John and Lester who were now able to collect the video they needed were now planning to file complaints against Matthew who beat them badly tonight.
They decided to go to the hospital and have a medical certificate. They would sue Matthew for assault. This was the only way they could think of right now: how they would get even with him.
They would also complain to the University Student Council against Matthew, thinking that he was one of the students there. They would demand severe punishment for him.
They had no idea that Matthew was not a student anymore. He was one of the alumni who attended tonight. They didn\'t recognize him. He was connected with Luke Davis and Tristan Davis who were the special guests tonight.
They saved the video on their mobile phone first before they left the school. They were eager to punish Matthew for what he had done to them.
But John didn\'t forget to inform Jade that their plan worked. They succeeded in recording Sophia\'s scandal. He sent the video to her as proof.
[ John: "My Queen, it\'s all done. Mission Accomplished. See the attached video. I will be waiting for my reward. ^^,) ]
Jade\'s phone beeped, indicating that she had received a message. However, her attention was not on her phone but on the two men on the dance floor.
Almost everyone, most especially girls, was looking at the dance floor where two handsome and gorgeous men were facing each other. It seemed like they were fighting over a girl.
Just a while ago, when Tristan found out that Liam was dancing with his wife, he decided to approach them. He was about to reach their spot when Grandpa Lu intercepted him.
He pulled Tristan out of the dance floor. Grandpa Lu warned Tristan not to do reckless things that might cause trouble for his wife.
Grandpa Lu asked him to let his wife enjoy this party and mingle with others including her professor. He advised him to wait for his turn.
But Tristan, a stubborn fellow, couldn\'t wait that long. He was jealous of seeing his wife dancing with another gorgeous man, aside from him.
"Grandpa, I thought you were on my side, why did you allow another man to dance with my wife? Do you want your granddaughter-in-law to be stolen from me?" Tristan complained to his grandpa. He felt really upset.
Grandpa Lu could only facepalm upon hearing that.
"Grandson, are you stupid? Don\'t you trust your wife? She loves you so much. What are you afraid of? Lillie is faithful to you."
Tristan pouted and said, "I know grandpa. But still… I couldn\'t help but worry. What if my wife will get tired of me? What if she will fall for someone who is better than me? Grandpa, I have my insecurities because of my ugly past and a bad reputation. I am afraid to lose her, grandpa."
After saying that, Tristan immediately marched toward the dance floor. He could no longer wait. He wanted to take his wife away from Liam.
Now, his presence and Liam\'s presence caught the attention of everyone.
