Chapter 104 The Cruel One
As I tensed up, I looked at the door. Matthew appeared, and he widened his eyes.
Seeing him unexpectedly made me nervous. I tightened my grip on the two big suitcases I
was dragging. They mainly contained clothes and other things that were memorable to
me.
“Honey, you’re back!” Smiling warmly, he strode over. “Honey…”
I took a step back. He was a stranger to me now, and I couldn’t stand him being near me.
When he did, I
felt a mix of disgust, fear, and hatred.
He frowned slightly but then smiled as he saw my suitcases. “Honey, where are you
going?”
I
“I’m here to take my stuff,” I said blandly, then pulled the suitcases toward the door.
He grabbed my arm. “No, honey, you can’t go
Disgusted, I yanked my arm from his grip. “Never call me that again!”
“Honey, why are you so pig–headed?” Matthew looked helpless. “Must you be so cruel?”

cruel!”
“What else do you want? My dad has gone to jail, hasn’t he? Why can’t you forgive us?

He took a step closer and sneered. “Or do you have someone new? Now that you’ve taken
everything from me, you can’t wait to dump me, huh? No wonder Mel says you’re a
scheming woman!”
Mel again! He talked as if that bitch was his wife, and I was an outsider.
“You fucking asshole!” I marched toward the door, dragging the suitcases along.
He pulled me back. “Do you think I’m unaware of what’s happening between you and
Atlas Pierce? What were you trying to accomplish when you transferred your funds and
changed the locks and passwords?
“They’re not yours alone, okay? Are you planning to keep the house, the car, and the
money for yourself?
Who gave you the idea?”
I retorted, “You brought this upon yourself. They’re rightfully mine. If you hadn’t done what

I couldn’t help but chuckle. How ironic it was to hear this coming out of his mouth.
Seeing his helpless face, I could tell his patience was wearing thin. I smiled and said, “A
home with a father having affairs with his sister, a grandfather who doesn’t care if she
lives or dies, and a grandmother who doesn’t give a damn about anything?
“Not to mention that her aunt keeps trying to make life difficult for her. What kind of life

Matthew rushed to hug me as I left. At this moment, the door burst open, and Melanie

doorway like an apparition.
