Matthew was stunned by her slap for a long time, unable to react. After a while, he slowly raised his hand to touch his swollen face.
“It’s not a dream?”
Ashley was already displeased by this inexplicable day, and immediately sneered, “Dream? Of course, it’s a dream.”
“I guess I’m just unlucky to encounter this kind of nightmare!”
With that, she no longer looked at him, turned around, and walked downstairs.
“Ash!”
Matthew finally sobered up and quickly went down to chase her. As they tugged at each other, Ashley’s foot missed a step, and she immediately lost her balance and fell downwards.
“Look out!”
Matthew’s expression panicked, and he instinctively reached out to pull her, but it was a step too late. He only managed to shield her in his arms.
“Thud!”
With a loud bang, the two fell heavily to the ground.
Thanks to Matthew’s protection, Ashley was fine except for some dizziness in her head.
In contrast, Matthew, who was still lying on the ground, had already started to bleed slightly from the back of his head.
“Mr. Allen!”
The villa immediately descended into chaos, and the butler quickly sent the two to the hospital.
This ordeal lasted for several more days.
While Matthew was still hospitalized, Ashley planned to sneak away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by the villa’s maids.
Ashley’s face instantly turned cold:“What do you mean by this?”
The two maids looked at her awkwardly:“Sorry, Ms. Wright, you can’t leave without Mr.’s permission?”
As if she had heard a joke, Ashley scoffed:“If you want to imprison me, just say so directly.”
The maids froze, and before they could react, Ashley was about to push their hands away and walk out..
After all, she was the person Matthew liked, so the maids didn’t dare to actually lay hands on Ashley.
They could only chase after her while trying to dissuade her: “Ms. Wright, you really can’t leave!”
It would have been better if the maids hadn’t said anything; as soon as they did, Ashley’s steps quickened.
Just then, a Maybach steadily stopped in front of them, and then the car door was pushed open from the inside.
A pale–faced Matthew got out of the car and stood in front of Ashley.
“Ash.”
“Don’t call me that, it makes me sick!”
Ever since returning to the country, Ashley had prepared herself for a reunion with Matthew.
She was well aware that she and The Wright Family were no match for him, for The Allen Family, which was why she wanted to play it safe.
That’s why she was thinking of not provoking him, not having more contact with him.
Even if she had to interact, she would suppress her temper and not conflict with him, so as to avoid getting into trouble.
But no matter how much Ashley calculated, she never expected that her constant concession would make Matthew even more crazed.

Before, he would just frequently come to the theater to gamble on her, and if he couldn’t see her, he’d call or text her.
He wasn’t discouraged after Ashley blocked him, after all, she was still in the country, still in the capital.
Now he wasn’t even pretending anymore, he actually wanted to directly imprison her in The Allen Family!
“Are you crazy? What exactly do you want to do!”
Seeing Ashley’s crazy appearance, Matthew only felt that this was the real Ashley.
They had dated for at least three years; how could Ashley be the type to constantly endure and swallow her pride?
Matthew smiled gently, but his eyes were full of madness:“Crazy?”
*Ash, I’m not crazy, I’m just afraid of losing you again, which is why I want to keep you by my side.”
He stared obsessively at the person in front of him, and couldn’t help but reach out to caress her.
“Do you know? That year, after your fake death, I truly went crazy!”
After Ashley’s death, everyone in the capital knew Matthew had gone crazy.
He sent his friends, who were once like siblings, and his childhood sweethearts of over ten years, all to jail.
He insisted on burying Ashley in the name of congratulating Mrs. Allen, despite the opposition from The Allen Family elders.
In the end, he, a person who never believed in God, even knelt through every church, just to see Ashley once in a dream.
He is already considered much more restrained now.
If it were the old him, he would have directly tied her up and dragged her to city hall the day Ashley’s mask fell off.
Instead of just trapping her by his side like he is now.
