GoodNovelChapter 347
"T-Then let's go to a cafe..." Ellie suggested timidly.
The man in glasses waved his hand and said, "It's inconvenient to have a discussion in a cafe. Instead, a hotel
room is the best place because it offers the most privacy!" "But-"
"No more buts!" he cut her off impatiently. "Do you want to save your mother or not? You'll have to do as | say if
you want to save her."
In a murmur, she said, "Forget it, I-I'll look for someone else..."
Her reply irritated him; she was this close to becoming his and there was no way that he would let her slip
through his fingers. "Stop right there! Listen carefully. Dr. Ellis is a close family friend and he can treat your
mother for my sake, but | can also make him do otherwise! There's no one here who can help you except me, so
choose wisely!"

All the blood rushed to her face as anxiety overwhelmed her. It was beyond her imagination that this man was so
shameless as to threaten her so brazenly.

Seeing how panicky she was, the man in glasses inched in with a smirk. "You're a filial child, so can't you
sacrifice a little to save your mother? Don't worry, as long as you cwith me, | assure you that your mother
will be safe!"
While he was speaking, he had sneakily placed his hand on her waist.
Startled, Ellie jumped back and said shakily, "D-Don't do this..."
However, her innocent expression just set his heart on fire and he grabbed her hand directly while threatening in
a low growl, "Your mother will die if you take another step back! Do you wish for her death?" Ellie's heart
wrenched in sorrow. Did she really have to make such a sacrifice?
Tears of despair welled up in her eyes and he could tell that this young girl was about to give in.
He immediately moved closer to her and was about to hug her when he felt a tight grip on his throat and was
lifted off the ground.
Before he realized what was going on, he was thrown aside roughly, causing him to tumble to the ground
pathetically.
It was Matthew who was eavesdropping on them when he got close to them earlier.
Not wanting to trouble him, Ellie didn't tell him about what happened, but Matthew could not just walk away
after running into this situation.
In just a second, this drew the attention of a small crowd and they gathered around.
"Is that him again? He's a real barbarian. Why is he beating up people wherever he goes? What does he take this
place for?"
"Living at the lowest level of society, that's how people like him handle situations-with violence and brutality. Not

The crowd started a discussion as they threw scornful looks at Matthew. In their eyes, they were upper class
elites while Matthew and Ellie were the lower class and as insignificant as dust.
The situation caught Crystal's attention as well and she rushed over. When she saw what happened, her face fell
and she yelled at him, "What are you doing, Matthew?"
"Why don't you ask this guy what he did?" he argued instead.
"| don't care what he did! You're in the wrong for beating someone else!"
"Miss Harrison is right!" a young man said loudly. "As civilized citizens, nobody beats up someone the moment
another comes up to them! No matter what mistake he made, you shouldn't have hit him because that's the
bottom line as a human!"
The clamor continued and Matthew waited composedly until they quieted down before saying nonchalantly, "Are
you guys done? If you are, then I'm continuing!"
Once again, he walked up to the man in glasses and slapped him twice across the face. Falling to the ground, the
man spurted out a mouthful of blood along with a few teeth.
