Ryan meticulously investigated everything Maria had done the night before. The next morning, he asked his assistant to place the information he found on Matthew's desk

And Matthew frowned tightly as he looked through the data. At that moment, Tammy was eating a snack on the couch in his office. She said, "You frowned again, Matthew! You're only 16, and that makes you look like an old man."

"Don't you have to go to school today?" Matthew asked as he sighed

"I decided to take the day off. My nightmares are still haunting me, you know."

Matthew shook his head helplessly. He thought, But you don't look like you're in shock at all. You're just looking for an excuse to skip school

Am I right, Tammy? Never mind. You're not fit for school, anyways and our family is well-off. So, you can still get by without going to school or working

Having collected his thoughts, Matthew said, "So, think about how you are going to promote instant noodles for me. Remember that you signed a contract with me. I will not pay you the promotion fee if your ads do not meet the company's promotion requirements."

"Don't worry. I've already asked Alicia to write the proposal," While placing a piece of chips into her mouth, Tammy answered with composure

"Why don't you do it yourself?" With his bros raising, Matthew

asked

"I'm the boss! I don't have to do the work myself. Why should I do it when I have a competent assistant to help me out?"

Thinking that she had a point, Matthew sighed and then shook his head resignedly again. Later, he returned his focus to the information

The files read that Maria worked for Azul Group because her grandmother was critically ill and required a kidney transplant. They helped her find a kidney donor and asked her to work for them in exchange Maria, you have a good reason to work with the Azul Group. Still, I can't forgive you for what you've done to me. I can't believe I've trusted someone who tried to set me up for years! And I trusted you for the past few years because youre related to Anna. If you had told me about your grandmother's illness earlier, I would have helped you! Why? Why did you prefer to trust outsiders over your family and even betrayed me?

Matthew read through the information quickly. Soon, someone knocked on the door and said, "Miss Miller has arrived, Mr. Wright."

"Please let her in," Matthew said without looking up

Hearing that, Tammy looked surprised at Matthew. And she asked in astonishment, "Oh, no! How does she have the guts to come in here?!"

"IL asked my secretary to invite her over," said Matthew

A few moments later, Maria came into the office. She appeared calm, but Matthew could tell that she was a little flustered from the way she walked. With a forced smile, Maria uttered, "Morning, Mr. Wright. I've been away for a few days, so I'm not sure what's been going on in the company recently. What can I do for you?"

Matthew leaned back in his chair and gazed at her with calm. "Take a look at it yourself and give me an explanation after that," he said, throwing

a large stack of papers in front of her

Maria quickly opened the file and browsed through it. Her face turned pale a few moments later, and her entire body trembled. She stumbled and snapped, "What is going on? Why are you looking into me? You're invading my privacy! I can totally tell the HR department you did that on purpose!"

Enraged, Tammy slammed a half-bag of potato chips into Maria's face. The chips flew out of the bag and scattered all over Maria

"What are you doing?!" Maria asked in surprise

"Shut your filthy mouth! I'd slap you if it weren't for the fact that you're my mother's cousin! Why are you so cruel to us?" Tammy said as she waved her hand frantically in the air "Tammy, you're so rude!" Maria said

"I'm rude? Shut up! Why did you betray my brother? He was so kind to you and even gave you so many opportunities. Why?!" Tammy screamed

"What are you talking about? I can't understand you! "Maria pretended to be calm, but her fists clenched nervously

"Stop playing dumb! We've found the proof. Do you want to continue to deny it?"

"No! I didn't work with them!" Maria shook her head as she said

"Stop talking nonsense! Did you forget who my uncle is? He found out everything about what you did. You don't want to admit it, do you? You

shouldn't have messed with my brother! You could have had a lot more, but I'm afraid you'll lose everything from now on. Maria, you do not deserve the love and support you have received from Selina and Joe!" Tammy shouted

"That's enough, Tammy," Matthew said. He stood up and approached Maria, and Tammy then stood behind him. And he continued, "It makes no difference if you don't admit it because I've already called the cops. I'll leave everything to them."

Maria's body shook even more violently. She opened her mouth, but she said nothing

"Send the police in," Matthew said as he walked over to his desk

Soon after, two police officers arrived. They approached Maria, handcuffed her, and solemnly said, "Miss Miller, because you are suspected of k********g a minor, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say in court will be used against you."

Before Maria was taken away by two police officers, Matthew abruptly said, "Maria, wait! My mom wanted to ask you something. We would definitely help her find a kidney if you told us about your grandma." Maria stared at her handcuffs for a moment before breaking out laughing. "Why? I'm not sure why. Perhaps because you are Anna's son

Honestly, I really don't know how she can be so happy all the time. I am the Millers' adopted daughter, but they treated your mother better than me

They were always glad to help her and sometimes, they're even willing to help her raise her children. So, they sometimes would neglect me. Look how well God treated your mother! She's so beautiful and smart, and she has it all. She not only got to marry a wonderful man like your father, but she also got to have a perfect son like you. I am so jealous of her! You are one of the most important people to her. So if I screw you over, she'll become a lunatic like I am."

In disbelief, Matthew stared at the crazy woman in front of him as if he didn't know who she was. Furious, Tammy dashed to Maria and tried to hit her, but Matthew stopped her. Then Matthew whispered to Tammy,

"Don't worry, she'll get what she deserves. She'll spend the rest of her life in prison." And it wasn't until then that Tammy took a step back

With Ryan's help, Matthew quickly resolved the issue. They had ample evidence, so the case was closed in a week. She was sentenced to eleven years in prison for k********g a minor. Also, Ryan and Wayne made it clear to the prison staff that they would not be able to commute her sentence

At the same time, Noah's assistant was convicted. Noah should have gone to prison as well, but he only provided ideas and did not participate in the action. Therefore, his assistant ended up taking the fall for him. During the trial, Noah's assistant revealed that Beatrice was also involved in the plan. However, she would not be punished because he had no proof of her involvement

From then on, Wayne and Matthew started to take revenge on Azul Group. And the rivalry between Lemon and Daydream heated up. And Beatrice's company struggled as Wayne made things difficult for her
