Sandra’s expression changed drastically at Matthew’s words.
“Who Who do you think you are?” Sandra stuttered, her voice trembling.
Matthew ignored her and glanced at Frost.
With Matthew’s signal, Frost stepped forward and knocked Sandra unconscious by striking her in the neck.

“Nelly, get over here! Associating with someone so disgraceful is utterly humiliating for our family,” Stanley snapped angrily.
Upon hearing his words, Nelly only looked at him blankly. “I’ll never return to this family. There’s nothing worth my attachment,” she replied calmly and firmly.
Giselle and her mother secretly rejoiced at Nelly’s declaration.
“Nell, don’t be rash,” Romeo pleaded.
“Romeo, you’d better mind your own business,” Nelly responded coldly.
“Romeo, why bother wasting your breath on her? You two are already over!” Mary reprimanded.
Matthew glanced at Romeo with contempt.
“So, you’re the fool who dumped someone as precious as Ellie. You must’ve been blind, but don’t worry. She’s with me now, and I’ll make her the happiest woman in the world,” Matthew vowed.
Nelly’s cheeks flushed at his words.
As Romeo and Giselle watched this scene, their hearts boiled with rage and resentient.

“Yes, sir!” Frost replied with respect
“You wouldn’t dare, or I’ll call the police,” Stanley threatened
“Romeo, stop them! This is our engagement party!” Giselle said in panic.
Unnoticed until now, Henry’s parents had been tied up with their mouths sealed with tape.
“Dad! Mom!” Romeo cried out in alarm.
“What you’re doing is illegal.” Hilda trembled with fear.
Sounds of smashing echoed relentlessly through the hall.
Leading his subordinates, Frost smashed everything in the hall that could be broken. Giselle even fainted at the sight of the devastation.
In about ten minutes, the hall was in ruins. The damages easily amounted to tens of millions of dollars.
Everyone there held their breath. They were utterly terrified of Matthew, whom they now saw as the devil incarnate.
“Mr. Yorke,” Frost called respectfully.
“Ellie, do you feel better now?” Matthew’s voice was so gentle it could melt hearts.
Nelly looked up at Matthew and gave him a faint smile.
Matthew’s expression instantly turned icy as he glanced around.
“I let you all off for today. If you dare bully Ellie again, I’ll put you all in despair.” Matthew’s tone carried a chilling menace. Upon hearing his words, Stanley turned to look at Nelly with extreme anger and resentment
