Chapter 5
I stared in disbelief,unable to believe that Matthew could do such a cruel thing.This was clearly his son too!
“You can’t do this!”I screamed.
I rushed forward,trying to grab the shovel from his hands.But before I could,the bodyguards behind me blocked me.I could only watch helplessly as Matthew mercilessly dug into the grave with the shovel.
“No!You can’t do this!”I started being hysteric but my words did nothing to stop Matthew.
Seeing that I still refused to apologize,his expression grew even colder and he swung the shovel again without hesitation.Watching my son’s grave being destroyed,I finally couldn’t hold back my pain any longer.
“Stop!Stop!I apologize,I apologize!”
The bodyguards behind me relaxed their grip and I rushed forward,beginning to shovel the soil Matthew had dug up back into its original place.
Matthew simply looked down at me from above and said,“Don’t forget to kneel.”
My body stiffened,but upon seeing the shovel in his hand,I knelt down.Under the scorching sun,I was exposed to the sunlight and soon began to sweat profusely.
After I knelt down,Matthew still didn't let me off the hook.
He coldly looked at me,“Sonya,although I sympathize with you for losing your husband and child,that's not a reason to offend my wife and mother.You will kneel here for three hours,or else I won't let you off the hook.”
After speaking,Matthew carefully took Jennie’s hand and led them to a shaded area.
I didn’t even glance at them,focusing instead on returning my son’s tombstone to its original position.
Apparently feeling that this wasn’t enough to provoke me,Matthew made a phone call.Soon,a dozen red sports cars pulled up outside the funeral,turning the solemn atmosphere into a joke.
Jennie gave me a smug look and then shouted loudly,“Marcus,you’re too good to us.But we’re still at Sonya’s son’s funeral.Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”
Matthew affectionately rubbed her nose,“When it comes to being good to you,I never need to consider the occasion.”
After saying that,a group of people got out of the red sports cars.Each of them was holding a gift box.Inside were all kinds of expensive luxury items.It seemed like this was no longer my son's funeral,but rather their luxury item show-off party.
I pinched my palm until it bled,wishing I could drive them out immediately.
Jennie exclaimed in surprise and hugged Matthew beside her,“Matthew,how did you know I’ve been liking this brand of handbags lately?And this set of jewelry—I think it costs a hundred million.You’re really too good to me.”
As Jennie spoke,she glanced at me smugly.Meanwhile I knelt there,my heart as dead as ashes.
Matthew seemed to glance at me from afar.Seeing that I didn't react,a strange feeling arose in his heart.But soon,with Jennie and the child's whining,he completely pushed that strange feeling to the back of his mind.
Watching their sweet appearance,I couldn't take it anymore.My vision went black and I fainted.
Matthew looked at the figure lying not far away and his heart suddenly stirred.He couldn't help but take two steps forward,wanting to help me up.
At that moment,his eyes fell on a necklace slipping off my body.The floral design on it was so familiar—the person who had saved him back then had also worn one.He couldn’t help but pick it up.
“Matthew,how did this necklace end up on Sonya’s body?I clearly remember putting it in the jewelry box at home.”
As she spoke,she shifted her gaze to me,“Could it be that Sonya stole my necklace?But...”
Chapter 6
Before she could finish speaking,Jennie tugged at the necklace,stumbled and fell backward.Matthew immediately forgot everything else and rushed to catch her.
Jennie leaned weakly against Matthew’s chest,pretending to be composed as she said,“Matthew,I’m fine.You should go check on Sonya.She’s been unconscious for so long,I’m afraid…”
As she spoke,she tried to stand up,but she swayed and fell backward again.Matthew furrowed his brows,no longer caring about the necklace and quickly picked up Jennie.
“Forget about Sonya.That woman is tough.she won't die no matter what.She even dared to steal your necklace.I think she's really lost her mind.Let her stay here and soak up some sun to clear her head.”
After saying that,he ignored me,who was lying unconscious on the ground and turned to leave with Jennie in his arms.
When I woke up again,it was getting dark.I tremblingly stood up and walked toward my son’s memorial hall.
Before I could enter,I heard suggestive sounds coming from inside.I stood at the corner,my eyes widening in shock at the scene before me.Jennie’s clothes were half-undone and Matthew was buried in her chest,his eyes unfocused.
“Matthew,I feel so bad.Will you kiss me?If you kiss me,I'll feel much better.Now that Peter has grown up,can we have another baby?”
Upon hearing this,Matthew paused.
“Jennie,although I really want to have another baby with you,this is still a memorial hall.Even if I don't like them,I can't go this far.”
He kissed Jennie's face,his tone indulgent,“Let's wait until we get back,okay?We'll be back soon.”
Jennie disregarded everything and hugged him tightly,her tone seductive,“Matthew,don't you think this is more exciting?I just want to prove how important I am to you.After all,no matter what,Sonya and you were once married and you have a son together.Are you still thinking about them?”
As she spoke,Jennie's tears fell.Matthew was heartbroken and immediately leaned down to kiss away Jennie's tears.
“Alright,I’ll do whatever you want.”
As I watched their increasingly intimate actions,I trembled with anger.My son’s photo was right in front of them.How dare they?How dare they do such a thing here!
I couldn’t take it anymore and burst out.
“You two beasts!”
I grabbed Jennie's neck with a distorted expression.
Jennie and Matthew finally reacted.
The next second,Matthew violently pushed me down and shouted angrily at me,“Sonya!Have you gone mad?Or is the lesson I gave you not enough?How dare you lay a hand on Jennie!”
Chapter 7
I didn't bother to say anything.I just wanted to strangle both of these beasts to death.Seeing my furious expression,Jennie hid behind Matthew with a look of grievance.
“Matthew,we should leave quickly.Otherwise,I'm afraid I'll die here.”
After saying that,she seemed to realize she had mentioned Matthew’s name and covered her mouth in feigned surprise.
Then she looked at me defiantly and said,“Sonya,I’m so sorry.I was nervous and called the wrong name,touching on your sore spot.You won’t hold it against me,right?”
I was so angry my eyes bled.
This woman was still pretending!
I screamed with all my might,rushing past Matthew and lunging toward Jennie.Unfortunately,the moment my hand touched Jennie,Matthew pushed me away.I fell to the ground,my head colliding heavily with the coffin.
Matthew looked at me with disgust and said,“It's your own bad luck that you lost your husband and child.Why blame Jennie for it?I wasn't mistaken—you're a vicious woman and you deserve to be despised by everyone!”
Was it my fault that my husband and child died?Wasn’t it because of your schemes?
I grit my teeth and shouted in anger,“Matthew!Do you dare to clarify your identity in front of my son's spirit coffin?Do you dare to say that the car accident was just an accident?It was you,it was you who killed my son!”
I was determined to reveal everything,no matter the consequences.
The next moment,Matthew slapped me hard across the face.
“The deaths of your husband and son have nothing to do with us.I am not Matthew Graff.I am Marcus Graff.Perhaps it was your fate that doomed them to an untimely death.All of this is your own fault!”
With that,he hurriedly turned and left,holding Jennie in his arms.
I watched Matthew's back and uttered a vicious curse.
“Matthew!I hate you,I freaking hate you!You ruined me and my son.I will curse you to lose everything you love,curse you to die a miserable death!”
Matthew,who was far away,heard my words and paused for a moment.But the next second,he still chose to leave without hesitation.
Jennie raised her head behind him and looked at me with contempt and provocation.
“You deserve it,”she said silently.
After they left,I staggered to my feet.Before I could take two steps,a group of disgusting men surrounded me,laughing.
“You’re pretty enough,little girl.Blame yourself for offending someone.But before we kill you,we can still let you enjoy some female pleasure.”
As they spoke,they approached me with lecherous grins.I fled toward the back,but my strength failed me and they gradually closed in.
Finally,looking at the disgusting smiles on their faces,I jumped off the cliff without hesitation.......
***
After sending Jennie to the hospital,Matthew finally took care of everything.
The moment he sat down,his heart ached,as if reminding him that something had been lost forever.
But soon,Jennie called out his name from the hospital room.He immediately put everything else out of his mind.
After bringing Jennie home,they spent a few days together in sweet bliss.
However,he hadn't received any response from the people he had sent out for several days.
Matthew finally started to get angry.He furrowed his brows tightly.He had only asked them to do something trivial,yet they couldn't even accomplish that.
Thinking of this,Matthew picked up his phone angrily,intending to call those people.
Just then,an unfamiliar number called in.Matthew answered the call impatiently,hearing a voice on the other end.
“Hello,is this Mr.Marcus Graff?Your brother’s wife fell off a cliff for unknown reasons.She has a butterfly-shaped birthmark on the inner side of her calf.We’ve been unable to contact her family.Could you please come over to handle this?”
As soon as the voice finished speaking,Matthew’s phone suddenly dropped to the ground and his expression changed drastically.
A butterfly-shaped birthmark?His savior also had a butterfly-shaped birthmark on the inner side of her calf...
