CHAPTER 343: CHAPTER 343: BY HIS SIDE, AT PEACE WITHOUT SPEAKING 3

Lucas stood in place, watching Chloe leave, his brow furrowed.

He always felt that Chloe was different after returning from the mental hospital.

However, he couldn’t quite put his finger on what exactly was different.

It seemed like she was distant to him...

But, her current attitude was significantly better than when he wanted to protect Lily Grant.

...

At this time, in the Morgan Group’s CEO office.

Matthew Morgan was still busy with work, while Ralph Koch had been there for quite a while, eating a lot of snacks from the table.

He kept frowning.

Several times, he couldn’t help but look at Matthew, it was clear he had something to say, but in the end, he shut his mouth every time.

After repeating this several times, Ralph finally couldn’t hold back. He stood up from the sofa and walked over to Matthew Morgan.

Ralph placed his hand on Matthew’s desk, looking at Matthew who was engrossed in his work.

Unable to hold back, he said, "Are you really just going to let go and allow Lucas and Chloe to be together? And what about you? Are you just going to let all these years of effort go to waste?"

Ralph’s words carried a hint of aggression, likely due to his dissatisfaction with the situation.

Matthew ignored him, continuing to organize the documents, as if Ralph didn’t exist.

Ralph was not offended by this, instead, he seemed used to it and continued, "This is nothing like your character. You should have kept Chloe by your side, either win or destroy, how could you let her be with someone else, she..."

Before Ralph could finish his words, Matthew, who had initially been looking down, suddenly stood up, grabbed his collar, and pressed half of Ralph’s body onto the desk.

He leaned forward, his expression cold, eyes sharp as ice, "Do you think I’m unaware of what you’ve done?"

Ralph was shocked.

How could he possibly know!

Matthew pressed him further, "If it weren’t for the fact that I owe your father, I’d have dismembered you by now! You better remember, you can mess with anyone in this world, except Chloe. If I find out you’re up to something again, Ralph... I won’t let you return to Y country!"

He released him with a fierce and arrogant demeanor.

Ralph lay on the desk, staring at him blankly, unable to process the situation...

"Mr. Morgan, Chloe is here."

The intercom on the desk buzzed with James Heady’s voice.

Matthew frowned, "Tell her I’m on a business trip."

Clearly, he did not want to meet.

"I’ve already said so. But she..." James emphasized helplessly, "She insists on coming up to your office, I...can’t stop her."

"I understand," Matthew replied simply, and cut off the intercom.

Moving away from the desk, he picked up his suit jacket in one hand, and with the other, he grabbed Ralph and headed straight for the office’s lounge.

Closed the door, locked it.

At the same time, the office door was pushed open from the outside.

Chloe hurriedly walked in, looking at the empty office, her initial expectation instantly plummeted.

He really... isn’t here.

Chloe lowered her eyes in disappointment.

James followed in, looking at the room void of Matthew’s presence, somewhat surprised, but still said, "See, I told you, Mr. Morgan is on a business trip."

"Did he say when he’d be back?" Chloe’s voice was noticeably dejected.

These past few days, she had been diligently eating well and sleeping well. She even used the eye drops she used to throw away discreetly, all in hopes of seeing him as soon as possible.

How come... she still couldn’t see him?
