Chapter 400
He could not hold it in any longer. “Principal Potter, why are you having dinner with this vile woman? Don’t you
know... “
Before Matt could finish, Principal Potter scowled at him and interrupted, “Vice-President Zane, what’s the meaning
of this? Dr. Berry is an excellent doctor who has treated many severely ill patients. Where are your manners?”
Matt’s EQ had always been very low. That was the reason why he had always had trouble finding himself a
girlfriend. Even though he came from a wealthy family and was almost forty, he never got married.
Matt was decent at work, but there was just something he was missing.
It then hit Principal Potter when he noticed Penelope beside Matt.
His heart burned with anger, and he could hardly contain it anymore. The thought of choking Matt to death even
crossed Principal Potter’s mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow dare he ask me why I’m having dinner with Dr. Berry! She’s the big shot I’ve just managed to invite for a
lecture.
How will he ever make it up to her for his offensive actions?
“Don’t be fooled by her beautiful appearance! She bullies her sister, stepmother, and stepbrother at home every
day. She even abuses her grandma! There’s no good in her!” exclaimed Matt when he thought Principal Potter was
clearly trying to protect Ashlyn. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask my girlfriend. She’s lived under the same roof
as Ashlyn for many years.”
Matt then pushed Penelope forward in front of everyone. The woman never thought Matt, the idiot, would do
something like that.
Penelope’s face flushed as she was totally caught off-guard. She was trembling when she stood in front of the
directors and under Lucas’ cold gaze.
“My father went to prison because of Ashlyn. It was also Ashlyn’s fault that my mother got sick.”
“Was she also the one who forced your father to evade taxes and forced you to date Jerry?” mocked Lucas as his
face turned dark and his sullen eyes shot straight at Penelope.
How dare she make up stories to make my girl look bad!
This woman disgusts me!
When bad things happened to the Berry family, I thought she would stop and reflect on herself for a bit.
But I didn’t expect her to get even worse.
I guess people really don’t change.
Lucas’s ice-cold expression made Penelope very uncomfortable. She could not help but wince a little and went to
hide behind Matt.
Matt was not going to go down easy, especially not in front of his girlfriend. “I know you’re an important person, Mr.
Nolan, but Ashlyn really isn’t who you think she is. I advise you to stay away from her because God knows when
she’s going to start taking advantage of you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Shut up!” Lucas’s roar was so powerful that everyone around him was stricken with fear. The atmosphere in the
restaurant turned stagnant.
After shooting daggers at Matt and Penelope, Lucas signaled Spencer, who was standing just behind him.
Spencer quickly dialed a number, and before long, dozens of bodyguards rushed in from all directions to surround
Matt and Penelope.
Even though Matt came from a wealthy family, he spent most of his time either at school or at home. That was why
he had never seen anything like this before.
His face turned pale as he exclaimed, “What do you guys want?”
Holding his wine glass with his long slender fingers, Lucas’s fingers somehow seemed more visually striking as they
contrasted with the crimson color of the wine.
The man took a sip from the glass before casually ordering, “Throw them out.”
“We, too, are here to dine at the Imperial Hotel, so what gives you the right to drive us away? You can’t do this! Do
you think you own the world?” shouted Matt insufferably as the bodyguards dragged him and Penelope out without
any intention to reason with him.
After wiping the sweat off his forehead, Principal Potter apologetically smiled at Lucas. “I’m so sorry for the way
Matt acted, Mr. Nolan. He’s not right in the head sometimes because of his horribly low EQ.”
