Chapter 15: Torturing Yourself
Lauren simply smeared a layer of powder on the back of her hand before she put on the clothes on the
floor and left Matthew's room.
''Pop''
She had just stepped out of the room when a slap with the wind of a palm hit Lauren's face fiercely.
Lauren, who was unprepared, couldn't bear the strong force, and she hit the armrest of the room door
at once, and blood immediately flowed from her brow bone.
"I'm telling you, don't seduce Matthew, or I won't let you go."
The woman's threat made Lauren raise her eyes, she looked at Anne in front of her, a bitter smile
crossed her face.
"Anne, if you had confidence, you wouldn't treat me like this, for Matthew, I don't have any interest,
you'd better make sure your man doesn't seduce me, or you won't be able to be Matthew's woman in
your life."
Lauren's calm voice made Anne's even angrier.
"It seems I underestimated you, Lauren Lee, you really are as good at seducing men as your mother,
do you want to be a real slut like your mother?"
Anne's sneer made Lauren's pale face turn ugly all of a sudden, she raised her right hand and hit
Anne's face fiercely.
"You ...... you dare to hit me?"
Anne, who has always lived in love, she has never been aggrieved by anything, she covered her cheek
that was hit with pain and looked at Lauren incredulously.
"Remember, don't insult my mother, even if my mother has done something wrong, it's not your turn to
insult her, you just need to mind your man, don't be here to show off your demonstration with me when
your man is snatched away by others."
A flash of disgust crossed Lauren's face as she walked proudly past Anne and headed for the kitchen.
She was going to prepare dinner.
Anne, who was sitting in her wheelchair, looked at Lauren's condescending back, and a sinister smile
lifted up on her face.
"Miss, are you just going to let this woman bully you?"
Lily, who was standing behind Anne, saw all that had just happened. She couldn't understand why
Anne, who had never been at a disadvantage, would now let herself be beaten by someone else, and a
woman who had a certain status in Matthew's heart.
Anne's pretty face lifted up with a high, inscrutable smile.
"A slut is not worthy of being my opponent. Why should I let such a woman dirty my hands? Someone
will clean her up for me. Push me back to my room, and I'll tell you on the way what to do next."
Lily nodded and pushed Anne back to her room.
"Are you in there, young master?"
When Matthew heard Lily's voice, he put down the file he was holding, then turned off his computer and
came to the door.
"Is something wrong?"
His voice was as cold as ever, and Matthew didn't change in the face of Anne's heartfelt subordinates.
"Anne is very angry, and she is smashing things inside the room. If she gets hurt, it will be very
troublesome." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
"Anne is very angry?"
Matthew couldn't believe it, but he quickly ran towards Anne's room.
He opened the door and saw a mess inside, Anne sitting on the floor, blood dripping from her hands.
Matthew hurriedly rushed to Anne's side.
"Anne, what's wrong with you? Why are there glass fragments on your hands?" Matthew ignored
Anne's struggle and carried her from the floor to the bed, then ordered Lily to fetch the medical kit.
Anne lay in Matthew's arms with a tearful face, and she cried loudly and painfully, as if she had suffered
a lot of aggression.
"Matthew, do you not love me anymore?" Anne's face was innocent and ignorant, but her eyes were full
of pain and sorrow.
Matthew shook his head dotingly, and he kissed Anne's cheek.
"Don't be silly, how can I not love you? If I didn't love you, I wouldn't have agreed to get engaged to you
in the first place, and this time, I picked you up to return home just to prepare for our wedding."
Anne tilted her head, and her tear-filled eyes looked straight at Matthew.
"If you love me, why would I be in your room and see another woman, if you love me, why would that
woman talk to me in that tone of voice? If you love me, why did you sleep with that woman when you
never wanted to have sex with me"
Faced with Anne's accusation, Matthew sighed inwardly.
"Anne, I'm a man, I have manly needs, I'll be with Lauren, and that's because I want to get back at her.
The things her mother has done have left me with no feelings for her, the only emotion I have for her is
hate. I didn't have sex with you because I cherish you and I wanted to save all the goodness for our
wedding night, do you understand?"
Matthew soothed Anne's emotions as he kept explaining.
"You really love me? It wasn't because I was hurt for you that you decided to be with me?" Anne's eyes
were a little lost. Looking at Anne's trusting eyes, Matthew didn't know why, he had a feeling of self-
condemnation.
"Anne, the reason I will choose to be with you is because I love you, my feelings will never be based on
repayment of gratitude, do you understand?"
Matthew's words finally made Anne reveal a smile, but the wound on her hand still made her scream
out in pain.
"Young master, the medicine box is brought." Lily took the medicine box in her hand and came to
Anne's room again.
"You go out. I can handle it myself." Anne told Lily to leave.
"You bear it, I'll disinfect you first, it will be very painful. You must hold on a little."
Anne clenched her lower lip and allowed Matthew to clean the wound on her hand and pull out the
glass shards inside.
"Tell me, what did you do to this? Why did you hurt yourself so much?"
Wrapping up the wound on Anne's hand, Matthew asked with concern.
"It was that woman, she provoked me, called me a loser, said I was a disabled woman. I was angry but
couldn't hurt her, I had to hurt myself to get out the anger in my heart."
"Anne, are you sure Lauren really did this to you? Really said so many hard things?" Matthew's eyes
were filled with suspicion. Lauren, he knew would not be a woman like that at all. there was no way
Lauren could have said those words.
The suspicion under Matthew's eyes was like a thorn in Anne's heart. This made her decide that in the
future, she must use a scheme to completely make Lauren disappear from her world and not let her
appear in between her and Matthew.
