CHAPTER 76: CHAPTER 76: NEARLY RUINED MY BIG PLAN

Vivian Clayton was extremely angry, and was about to kick him in the groin.

Suddenly, a figure burst in from outside, accompanied by a sharp scream—

"Vivian Clayton! You bitch!"

Iris Lockwood swung her bag, aiming to smash it on Vivian Clayton.

Interrupted, Matthew Sullivan couldn’t care less about taking advantage; he hurriedly protected Evelyn Clayton, making Iris Lockwood even more frantic with rage.

"Matthew Sullivan, do you think you’re being fair to me?! I’ve done so much for you, and here you are cuddling with her."

"Iris Lockwood!" Vivian Clayton growled, "If you want to make a scene, go do it at your own home. This is the CEO’s office!"

Iris Lockwood stuck her neck out and retorted, "So what about the CEO’s office? Aren’t you two still illicit lovers having an affair here?"

Seeing the situation becoming irreconcilable, Matthew Sullivan no longer pretended.

"I have a marriage agreement with Vivian Clayton, how is that an affair? It’s you who barges in here like a madwoman. What are you trying to do?!"

"Matthew Sullivan, do you still not understand my feelings?" Iris Lockwood was almost in tears, her eyes glistening with tears.

"I don’t know! All I know is that Vivian Clayton is innocent."

"Matthew Sullivan, you bastard!" Iris Lockwood sobbed, "You took money from me, but then turned to her."

Matthew Sullivan was afraid that Vivian Clayton would find out his sponsorship relied on Iris Lockwood, so he quickly stopped her, "Stop talking nonsense! Get out!"

The two were arguing incessantly, making Vivian Clayton’s head ache. She shouted angrily, "Isn’t it enough already? This is James Grant’s office. Do I have to call him back to settle this for you?!"

Seeing that she was furious, Matthew Sullivan quickly soothed her, "Evelyn, I’ll take her away right now. Don’t be angry, take care of yourself."

With that, Matthew Sullivan forcibly dragged Iris Lockwood away.

Iris Lockwood, however, grabbed the door frame, refusing to leave.

Matthew Sullivan had no choice but to whisper in her ear, "Let’s go, I have something to tell you."

"Really?" Iris Lockwood looked at him with a sniff.

"Really."

"Alright then."

Iris Lockwood obediently left with Matthew Sullivan, shamelessly clinging to his arm.

Watching this, Vivian Clayton almost got goosebumps all over.

Matthew Sullivan brought Iris Lockwood into the hallway, cornering her against the wall.

"You almost messed up my big plan just now!"

Iris Lockwood was taken aback.

She hadn’t even blamed Matthew Sullivan, yet he was already blaming her.

"W-what big plan? Aren’t you just trying to have an affair with her?"

Matthew Sullivan looked disgusted, "Do I look like someone who’d plead with her to be with me? She’s used goods, already slept with James Grant. Why would I have an affair with her?"

"Then why—" Iris Lockwood’s arrogance diminished, "What’s your plan? Tell me!"

Matthew Sullivan looked at her with a smug expression, towering over her, "I’m placating her now so she’ll stick with the marriage agreement. I don’t want her; I’m doing it for my father. My father promised me that as long as I marry her, I’ll get fifty percent of The Grant Group’s shares in the future. Do you understand what that means? James Grant only has thirty percent!"

Not expecting such ambition, Iris Lockwood covered her mouth.

"So I was too impulsive just now?"

"Of course. I was about to smooth things over with her, and then you popped up! But I won’t hold it against you this time. Next time you see me with her, behave yourself, walk away, and don’t interfere. Just think about it; once I have the shares, I can openly be with you. Who will enjoy a good life then?"

Hearing Matthew Sullivan’s analysis, Iris Lockwood felt a little foolish.

"Marcus, I’m sorry. I was too impulsive..."

"It’s okay." Matthew Sullivan put an arm around her shoulder.

Iris Lockwood looked at him with extreme admiration, "Marcus, once you complete your plan, we’ll get married, okay?"

She couldn’t miss out on such a promising man!

Matthew Sullivan kissed her forehead but said nothing.

Idiot, the one he intends to marry is Evelyn Clayton!
