    Emma raised her hand, ready to p Naomi across the left check–only for arge hand to suddenly grab


    hier wrist.


    When Emma looked up, <b>she </b>saw Matteo standing off to the side.


    Matteo’s expression was unreadable; the look <b>in </b>his eyes startled Emma.


    She immediately yanked her <b>hand </b><b>back</b>.


    With a frosty expression, Emma said. “Do you even know who I <b>am</b>? If you stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. I’ll <b>have </b>my dad teach you a lesson!”


    “I’m a substitute teacher at this school. If you keep making a scene, I’ll have no choice but to call your parents.”


    As soon as Emma heard he was a substitute teacher at ire University, her face changed.


    People like her still had respect for the professors at ire University.


    Emma took a deep breath and <b>said</b>, “Fine, I’m not making a scene! But this woman–she was the one trying to seduce guys here, and then she even hit me! How are you going to handle that?”


    Behind her. Naomi, feeling emboldened now that someone was on her side–spoke up with newfound


    courage.


    “You’re just mad because you can’tpare. You can’t stand seeing me getting close to other guys, can you? You’re the one asking for it!”


    Before Naomi could even finish her sentence, Matteo raised his <b>hand </b>and pped her across the face.”


    The sound rang out sharp and clear; half of Naomi’s face instantly red with pain.


    “Matteo! You!”


    Naomi red at Matteo, but he turned <b>his </b>gaze toward Emma instead and said, “Are you satisfied now?”


    Emma hadn’t expected Matteo toy a hand on Naomi like that; she stood there stunned.


    Not far off, Eliza watched the whole scene unfold. Something about the way Matteo treated Naomi felt off, like there was some kind of connection between them.


    <b>Just </b>as she was <b>about </b>to step forward to get a better look, Matteo’s eyesnded on her.


    With just one nce<b>, </b>Eliza quickly averted her gaze, afraid he might set his <b>sights </b>on her next.


    After Emma and the others left. Matteo finally turned to Naomi.


    The moment she met <b>his </b>eyes, Naomi’s heart started pounding with guilt.


    “You! Come with me.”


    Matteo didn’t spare her <b>another </b>nce.-


    Over on the side, Eliza watched Naomi follow Matteo out, <b>then </b>got ready to tail them.

    Henry, standing beside her, grabbed her arm and <b>said</b>, “Some things are better left unseen. You’ll only bri trouble onto yourself.”


    “But you’re here, aren’t you?” Eliza replied. “Don’t worry, I’m just going to watch from a distance.”


    “I’ming with you.”


    Henry stepped ahead of her.


    The two of them quickly headed toward the second floor of the auditorium.


    Naomi followed Matteo into a room. Matteo shoved her <b>onto </b>the couch.


    Naomi lost her bnce and crashed to the floor.


    “Matteo, you!”


    Before she could finish, Matteo grabbed her by the throat.


    In an instant, a wave of suffocating pressure swept through Naomi’s entire body. “Cough! Cough!”


    She couldn’t get a word out, only iled and pped at his hand in desperation.


    “Let go! I was wrong! I was wrong<b>!</b>”


    “I’m warning you, don’t think too highly of yourself.”


    Matteo’s voice <b>was </b>icy.


    “If you weren’t still useful, I would’ve killed <b>you </b><b>a </b>long time <b>ago</b>.”


    With that, he released her.


    Naomi copsed to the floor, gasping for air in huge gulps.


    Matteo looked down at her from above and said, “Know your ce. The moment you’re no longer valuable to me, I won’t hesitate to kill you.”


    Upon hearing that, Naomi immediately dropped to her knees and clutched his legs.


    “No! <b>I’m </b>still useful–don’t kill me! I <b>can </b>still help you! Nathaniel already trusts me; soon, I’ll be able to kill him for you! Keeping me around will pay off–I know what industries will <b>make </b>the most money in the future! I can help you!”


    Watching her struggle like that, Matteo’s face remained utterly <b>impassive</b>.


    Terrified he didn’t believe her, Naomi rushed to add, “Keep me around–I can do a lot for you. I can serve


    you too..”


    Just as she reached <b>out </b>to touch <b>him</b>, Matteo didn’t bother hiding the disgust in his eyes.


    “Don’t use that filthy act on me. I <b>find </b>it <b>repulsive</b>.”


    He quickly caught the sound of movement outside the door.

    Turning around, he opened the door to the auditorium’s broadcasting room–only to find no one there.


    Matteo had always been on high alert. He nced back at Naomi, still crumpled on the ground, and said, “You’re a student. Don’t go around causing trouble on campus. This is your first warning–if I catch again, don’t bother showing up to ss anymore.”


    “I understand! I promise I won’t cause any more trouble at school!”


    Naomi apologized in a panic.


    Only then did Matteo <b>leave </b>the broadcasting room without looking back.


    It was a long while before Naomi finally stumbled out.


    Eliza, who had been watching everything from a corner, frowned slightly.

    They’d gotten there toote to catch what was said between the two. But if it <b>was </b>only about disciplining a student, there’d be no reason to lock themselves in the broadcasting room.
