    Chapter 351 No Way Out


    +8 Pearls


    ine stumbled back in fear, unable to even look at the bodyguards in front of her. “D–Don’te <b>near </b>me!”


    Eliza had initially felt that Matteo’s approach toward a woman was a bit too rough. But then she reminded herself that Matteo had already tried reasoning with her. And to be fair, what ine did was truly brainless.


    Matteo’s bodyguards quickly forced ine into the car.


    She tried to think of a way to save herself once inside, but suddenly realized–her phone was broken. There was no way to call for help.


    Eliza stood beside the car, looking down at her. “Ms. ine, if you’d used your brain even a little, you would’ve figured it out. I’m just a woman–guns are useless in my hands. The one who would use firearms wouldn’t be me. Do you really think someone who disregards thew would care what methods they used?”


    Eliza’s words made ine flush with shame and anger. “Eliza! You shameless slut! You already have Henry, and yet you’re still seducing Nn! Now that you’ve got Nn, you’re even hooking up with someone like Matteo! You’re all cut from the same cloth!”


    Smack-!


    A sharp pnded on the side of ine’s face.


    Stunned, she touched her cheek and looked up at Matteo in disbelief.


    Because it wasn’t Eliza who had pped her–it was Matteo.


    Even Eliza was caught off guard. She hadn’t expected Matteo tosh out without warning.


    Matteo didn’t even lift his head. “Sorry. I don’t like beingpared to animals.“,


    Eliza could only think. <i>Awesome</i>.


    Matteo added calmly, “I suggest you stay quiet, Ms. Sue. I don’t like noisy people. If you keep screaming like that, I might just cut out your tongue.”


    “You wouldn’t dare! I’m Nn’s fiancée–he won’t let youy a fin


    She had grown up with Nn. They were childhood sweethearts.


    He once promised to protect her no matter what.


    He would never allow anyone to humiliate her like this.


    “You can try me.”


    on me!”


    The indifference in Matteo’s eyes made Eliza instantly realize—he meant it.


    To Matteo, Nn wasn’t a threat. In fact, Matteo probably thought he was doing Nn a huge favor by getting rid of a problem.


    Faced with that cold threat, ine went silent.


    After all, Matteo was no gentleman–he was <b>a </b>ruthless<b>, </b>blood–<b>soaked </b>demon.


    Chapter 351 No Way Dut


    Soon, the group arrived at ine’s home.


    Once inside her bedroom, Eliza’s eyes immediatelynded on the decorations.


    The walls were stered with photos of Nn.


    Her brow furrowed at the sight.


    These were pictures of Nn from all stages of his life.


    Somewhere, he was reading. Somewhere, he was just spacing out.


    This wasn’t love anymore. This was an obsession.


    “Computer.”


    Matteo didn’t care about the room’s creepy decor. The only thing he wanted was whatever was stored <b>on </b>ine’sputer.


    ine said nothing, but there on the desk sat a desktop and aptop.


    Matteo considered wiping everything, but ine sneered, “You don’t have the password. You won’t be able to destroy anything. Don’t even think I’ll tell you.”


    “Oh really?”


    Matteo’s expression remained impassive. He tapped a few keys, and the desktop unlocked.


    ine froze, stunned.


    Even Eliza was surprised. “I thought you were some elite hacker or something. Shouldn’t that take more time? The password was Nn’s birthday. Not exactly hard to guess.”


    Eliza nced at ine, who looked like she wanted to


    anish from shame.


    She’d assumed she was up against a worthy opponent, but turns out ine was just another hopeless lovestruck fool.


    Of course, Eliza wasn’t exactly in a position to judge.


    Matteo searched the entire desktop but found no incriminating photos. In the end, he actuallyughed. “You didn’t back anything up.”


    So ine had been counting on nothing but the photos on her phone to take them down?


    Matteo didn’t even know who to feel worse for.


    ine was as foolish as Naomi had been.


    And he’d actually wasted so much time dealing with her.


    “What? No backup?” Eliza was just as surprised.


    Did ine really not even consider a contingency?


    Just to be sure, Matteo checked theptop too. Same result.

    No backups.


    ine had never done anything like this before–nowork, no real experience. She didn’t even think to make copies.


    ine bit her lip. “So what if the evidence is gone? I can still report you…”


    Before she could finish, Matteo’s hand closed around her throat.
