Chapter 289 Mathilda Is Sad
Mathilda forced herself to believe Conrad’s words. She glared at him with hatred and shook off his han
d in disgust. She adjusted the torn belt of her windbreaker and returned to her graceful appearance as
a noble woman. Mathilda paid the fine, signed her name, and then left.
Conrad secretly let out
a sigh of relief. In a place where Mathilda could not see, he secretly made a gesture to Georgia, indicati
ng that she was fine. Then, he hurriedly followed Mathilda and got into her car with a cheeky look.
The next second after the car left, a slender young man wearing a black jacket came out of the police s
tation. He smoked and stepped into the police station.
Back at the house, Conrad shamelessly wanted to follow Mathilda into the room, but Mathilda shut him
out with a
“bang“.
“Don’t even think about entering my room if you don’t wash away your smell!”
Outside the room, Conrad touched his nose, which had almost been knocked down, and his eyes were
filled with disdain and contempt.
Conrad strode towards the guest room, no longer hiding the fierceness on his face.
What a bitch! She’s so cocky! Conrad thought.
Today, he and Georgia had just entered the hotel room when they were caught. Fortunately, he was ca
utious and let Georgia come later than him. Otherwise, they would really be caught in bed. At that time,
Mathilda might make a fuss.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Conrad entered the guest room and lay on the bed, exhausted. He stared at the dark roof and thought i
n his heart that he had to get the company as soon as possible. He had enough of living such a humble
life. He didn’t want to fear the Longfellow family anymore..
As for
Mathilda… If she was willing to listen to him, Conrad would still provide for her for the sake that they ha
d been married for 20 years. But if Mathilda insisted on looking for trouble, he would drive her away.
Mathilda couldn’t sleep the whole night.
When she recalled the scene at the police station, she was angry and felt aggrieved.
When the day broke, Mathilda went to wash up with exhaustion.
Being provoked by the cold water, she suddenly realized something…
In the laundry room, the servant was tidying up the clothes she was about to wash. When she turned ar
ound, she almost bumped into Mathilda, who had suddenly barged in. She patted her chest in shock an
d asked, “Mrs. Doherty, why are you here? Is there anything else I need to do?”
Mathilda ignored her and grabbed the clothes that Conrad had worn last night.
Her face was sullen, and her lips were tightly pursed, looking very uneasy.
The servant looked at Mathilda, who was leaning on Conrad’s clothes and smelled them for a long time
. She asked In confusion, “Mrs. Doherty, is there a problem with the clothes?”
Of course!
Mathilda looked up and stared at her viciously. “Don’t tell anyone that I just came here. Otherwise, I will
make it impossible for you to work at any housekeeping company in the future. Understand?”
The servant was scared silly by Mathilda’s fierce expression. She nodded subconsciously and said, “Ye
s…”
Mathilda gave her one last warning look and left the laundry room.
Although the clothes had been left there for the whole night, she was very sure that there was no smell
of alcohol on the clothes. In addition to the faint smell of tobacco, there was also the smell of women’s
perfume.
That bastard actually lied to her!
Mathilda clenched her fists tightly, digging her nails deeply into her palms. She felt so angry that she w
anted to rush to Conrad and tear him apart!
When she was angrily pacing back and forth in the bedroom, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Coral briskly walked in and said in a soft voice, “Mom, I have something to tell you!”
Mathilda was very upset at the moment, but in the face of her beloved daughter, she endured the griev
ance. She took a deep breath and forced a smile, “What’s wrong, darling?”
Coral leaned over to her
side and hugged her arm, pouting her lips and saying coquettishly, “My dearest mother, can’t I chat with
you if I have nothing to do?”
She smiled ingratiatingly, her cheeks slightly red. “However, you guessed right. Aren’t you going to get t
he shares of the Longfellow Group soon? My birthday is around the corner, and dad will
hold a birthday party for me. At that time, can you transfer the shares of the company to dad?”
Mathilda, who had just learned that Conrad had cheated on her, was extremely sensitive when she hea
rd her words. She suddenly looked at Coral suspiciously.
Her movement was big, and Coral was shocked. “Mom, what’s wrong?”
Mathilda gritted her teeth and looked at Coral calmly. “Did your father let you tell me this?”
Mathilda originally planned to listen to Conrad as to how to deal with the company shares. But now that
Conrad had
done something to betray her, Mathilda couldn’t help but feel suspicious when Coral suddenly talked ab
out this
matter.
Mathilda felt more and more uneasy, as if she had missed something.
Coral did not know what was going on. She felt that this matter was very simple. Mathilda did not know
how to manage the company, and if she had the shares, she might have been cheated. It was better to
hand the company to Conrad, who had been in charge of the company for so many years and was the
most suitable person to manage the
company.

However, Mathilda had always been proud and arrogant. Coral could not say such things in front of her.
Coral coughed lightly and said in a sweet voice, “No, it’s just that dad is
preparing to pick a fiancé for me at my birthday party. If dad is the person in charge of the Longfellow G
roup, I’ll benefit from that, right? In that case, I can attract a more handsome young man with a higher s
tatus.”
Mathilda knew Coral too well. She seemed smart, but in fact, she was easily deceived.
She really wanted to tell Coral what happened last night, but after thinking about it, Mathilda held back
her urge.
If Coral spilled the beans, Conrad would find out Mathilda’s intentions.
“OK, I understand. I will discuss this matter with.
your dad.”
Hearing this, Coral was very excited. She hugged Mathilda and said excitedly, “Really, mom? Don’t lie t
o me!”
Mathilda was indeed angry, but she still revealed a forced smile. “Yes.”
Coral kissed Mathilda on both sides of her face and went out happily.
Mathilda looked at the tightly closed door and thought of Conrad, who had been caught last night. Then
she pondered on the matter of Coral asking her to transfer the shares to Conrad.
Conrad’s heart was not with her. If she lost the
company’s shares again, she would have no status in the family.
She took a deep breath and felt as if there was a big hole in her heart. The cold wind whistled and pour
ed in, freezing
her all over.
Mathilda held back her tears and took out her phone, making a call.
