Chapter 158
“You mean Theodore Russell? The blind pay in the comers?” Matthew aclaimed in surprise after heiving Hannald’s words
Hannah arched an eyebrow, Matthew was where, so his info was so outdated that he didn’t even know bearing this, furrowed her brows. She hated it most when people called Theodore blind,
“still, it’s kinda fun to mess with amanied woman every now and then, and your two are sigters, Matthew said
Deal
He continued, “if you both play nice with me, I’ll forget about the other three media companies and give the prom
oject to
Eliana couldn’t help but shoot Hannals a sarcastic look as if mocking her for hooking up with trash.
Stung by her gaze, Hannah used reverse psychology on Matthew. “Mr. Abbott, hn’t having me enough! Besides, you can’t afford to mess RussellTM
“There’s no one I can’t afford to mess with,” Matthew took the bait. Next, as if to prove his words, he stormed toward Eliana with a threatening Hannah stood behind him, smiling mockingly at Eliana. After all, she had warned Matthew–if he got retaliated by Theodore,
As Matthew closed in, Eliana gripped the small stun gun tighter. But still, considering he was a Starlight Media client, she warned, “Mr. Abbott, drunk.”
Matthew frowned. He hadn’t looked closely at Elians before, but now he noticed that though she wasn’t asglamorous as Hannah, she had a pure beauty
Her stubbornness made him eager to see what she’d look like defiled. Driven by alcohol and impulse, Matthew reached out greedily toward Eliana Eliana zapped him with the stun gun. But since her self–defense weapon was only palm–sized, its power was limited. So after twitching on the floor for a while, Matthew propped himself up against the wall and stood back up.
“Mr. Abbott, are you okay?” Hannah seized the moment to show concern, but Matthew showed her aside and roared angrily at Eliana’s fleeing back
By then, Eliana had no time to save Hannah–she was desperately mashing the elevator button.
“Hurry, hurry.” With Matthew’s footsteps closing in behind her, Eliana stared at the elevator numbers ticking up, frantic with anxiety.
“Bitch, you can’t escape!” As Matthew snarled, the elevator doors opened.
Eliana dashed in, crashing into the person inside. The man staggered slightly, then said in surprise, “Ella?”
Looking up and seeing Nolan, Eliane said excitedly, “Mr. Hall, you’re finally here!”
Just then, Matthew violently held the elevator door and said darkly to Nolan, “Give me that woman.”
To Matthew’s surprise, Nolan kicked him down. “Go to hell,” Nolan said.
Caught off guard, Matthew slammed into the fire hydrant behind him and even shattered the glass.
Eliana was stunned–this was the first time she’d seen Nolan so wild.
Clutching his stomach, Matthew grimaced in pain. “Fuck! Who the hell are you?”
After straightening his suit, Nolan replied, “I’m Ellie’s boss”
Startled, Matthew pointed at Eliana. “Do you know what your employee just did to me?”
Nolan shot back sharply, “Maybe you should first ask yourself what you were trying to do to my employer.”

Chapter 158
Matthew raged, “Your employee went with me willingly! Ask her yourself if you don’t believe me?
Hearing this, Nolan glared angrily at Hannah in the distance, then said to Mathew, “Mr. Abbott, you can take your business to the other three companies
from now on.
Matthew’s eyes widened. “Are you saying you’re dropping my business?”
“Exactly.” Nolan said firmly
Matthew stomped his foot in anger. When he did business with other companies, they never dared to cross him, but today he’d been capped and kicked –something the arrogant Matthew couldn’t bear.
“Fine! I’ll go to the hospital right now to get my injuries documented. You two can expect a court summons, Matthew raged.
“Do as you please,” Nolan said calmly. He even watched Matthew enter the elevator and added, “Oh, and a word of advice you’d better scurry your home country before the real big shots come for you.”
ito baten.
But Matthew was too enraged to
Once the elevator doors closed, Nolan asked Eliana with concern, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. You were amazing just now,” Eliana said, giving him a thumbs–up.
“Really?” Nolan said modestly.
Though he looked calm, he was actually terrified. If anything had happened to Eliana, Theodore’s wrath cold have burned Starfight Media to the ground Nolan blamed himself for making Eliana tail Matthew.
But if it weren’t for Eliana, Hannah might have really traded her body for the deal tonight. At this thought, Nolan grabbed Hannah’s wrist as she tried to leave. “How did you sink to this level?” he asked coldly,
Hannah just shrugged and smiled nonchalantly. “Mr. Hall, have you ever considered that this is who I really am?”
Seeing Nolan freeze, Hannah leaned in and gave him a seductive smile. “I was counting on Matthew for a big score, and you ruined it. Mr. Hall, you owe me that bonus.”
“You’re beyond redemption,” Nolan said in disgust, releasing her hand. “Don’t come to work tomorrow. Finance will transfer your salary to your
account.”
He would never allow Hannah to use such underhanded tactics for the company–he thought that money was dirty.
Hannah paused, then accepted it calmly. “As you wish, my former love.”
Hearing her call him that, Nolan felt a tightness in his chest. He hated that after she’d been so heartless to him, he still couldn’t bring himself to be harsh
with her.
It took him a long time to collect himself, then he said to Elana, “Let’s go. I’ll drive you home.”
Eliana saw the redness in his eyes and knew he still had feelings for Hannah. “Mr. Hall, are you really firing her?”
Nolan’s eyes showed a trace of sorrow. “She destroyed all our good memories. Ellie, call me a mean man, but I just can’t stand seeing her.”
