“Haha! He’s happy? Yeah right!”
This comment got buried under thousands of replies as soon as it was posted, and the new response immediately threw Quinn’s sharp–suited photo in.
“Why do you call such a handsome elite a pig? He’s clearly a diamond bachelor!”
Roderick leaned back on the leather chair in the study, his pale fingers gripping the phone, the cold light reflecting on his sickly face.
In the scene, Andrea and Quinn standing side by side made his eyes well up with tears.
Suddenly, he pressed the pause button.
A barrage comment saying “They are a perfect match” floated by, stabbing his eyes.
His neck veins bulged, and Andrea’s bright smile on the screen was like a thorn, deeply piercing his heart.
At that moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Matilda walked in carrying a porcelain bowl of stew.
“Roderick, I made chicken soup for you on purpose. Your body is still recovering recently, so you need to take good care of yourself.”
Her fake sweet voice suddenly rang out in the quiet study.
She caught a glimpse of Roderick’s phone screen, she giggled and

covered her mouth.
“Did you see that video too?”
Not getting a response from Roderick, she didn’t get mad, just pretended to sigh.
“It seems like Andie really likes Quinn. She’s usually so quiet and low- key, but she’s willing to post the engagement banquet video online, announcing it to the whole world.”
The man’s eyes noticeably darkened.
“The online rumors were right, Andie and Quinn standing together really are a match made in heaven…”
“Shut up.”
Roderick suddenly looked up, his pale face flushing with a sickly red hue due to emotions, and a terrifying dark tide surged in his ink–black pupils.
Matilda’s voice suddenly stopped, and cold sweat instantly oozed from her back.
She realized too late that she had gone too far.
She forced a smile and lightly touched his arm wrapped in bandages.
“No worries, we’re getting engaged soon anyway, and then…”
“Get out.”
Roderick didn’t care about the injury, he grabbed her wrist and forcefully pushed her away.
The phone smashed on the table, making a dull sound.

The video started playing again, and the image of Andrea being surrounded by people stabbed at his nerves.
Matilda staggered back half a step.
“Roderick, our wedding was Lucian…”
“I said, get lost!”
Suddenly there came the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
When Lucian pushed the door open, he saw Roderick looking pale with anger, and Matilda holding her red wrist, tears welling up in her
eyes.
“What’s going on?”
Lucian raised his eyebrows and asked, What’s up?
Matilda hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve, her voice sounding pitiful.
“Lucian, it’s my fault. Roderick has been struggling with his injury recently, so it’s normal for him to be emotionally unstable. Please don’t blame him.”
She sneakily glanced at Roderick’s gloomy face, then turned to Scarlett.
“Auntie, I’m really fine, Roderick just felt unwell that’s why he acted like that.”
Lucian glanced over the mess on the table, finally landing on his son’s weak face.
“Roderick, Matilda was your fiancee, and also the apple of the Turner family’s eye. Even if you weren’t feeling well, you shouldn’t have

treated her like that.”
Roderick looked tense.
“I wouldn’t marry her.”
“Nonsense! Matilda’s parents were downstairs waiting to discuss your marriage with Matilda, and here you are throwing a tantrum!”
His voice suddenly raised, “Stop acting like this, get down
immediately!”
Scarlett saw the situation and quickly went up to grab her husband’s
arm.
