Matthew took out from his neck, the necklace he had been carrying with him. From it, he unhooked a pendant made of keys and placed it in Lauren's hand.
"This is the key to open the safe in my study, remember, no matter what happens, must protect her it, because she has too many things to do with it, as long as there is a slip, my life will be lost at any time, understand?"
Matthew had a seriousness on his face that he had never had before. It made Lauren a little uneasy.
"Tell me, how the hell did you get back? Why is your organization so mysterious? Why are you obviously a big president of Yin's Group, yet you have other identities? What kind of stakes do you have with Shangguan's Group?"
Lauren was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"Shh."
A long, slender index finger, placed on Lauren's cherry lips that had been chattering away.
"Don't say anything, don't ask me anything, the less you know, the better for you, remember, this key, must not let anyone know."
The more mysterious Matthew is, the more uneasy Lauren's heart is, but she can't get something out of his mouth, herself.
"I'm going to the electricity, you take care of yourself, don't walk around randomly, if you don't feel well, you don't have to go to the office tomorrow."
Placing another kiss on Lauren's lips, Matthew turned to leave. Driving away from the mansion in his car.
Emily's face turned very ugly as she watched the car leave.
She came directly in front of Lauren.
"Lauren, did Matthew just have soup? That was the fruit of Wang Ma's labor that she had simmered all afternoon."
Lauren pointed to the empty soup next to her.
"Matthew drank it all down because he had to go to the office to run an errand, so when he was done, he left."
Emily smiled and nodded.
"Are you sure he went to the office?"
"I'm not very sure, because just now I've been sleeping, just hazy, as if I heard him say to the person on the phone to go to the company later, as for where exactly to go. I'm not so sure."
Emily made an OK gesture.
"Lauren, it's getting late. I'll leave you to rest and go first."
Watching Emily's back, Lauren became even more suspicious, especially when she heard Emily start the car and leave. She was even more suspicious.
Taking the car keys, Lauren also left the room. Originally, she wanted to drive herself, but on second thought, driving the family car would easily arouse Emily's suspicion.
Lauren changed her mind, hailed a cab and instructed the driver to follow Emily's car.
Fortunately, it was night and there were not many vehicles on the road, so the cab followed Emily's car smoothly all the way to the back without any problems.
Lauren guessed correctly, and Emily stopped her car in front of Yin's Group.
"Brother driver, pull over to the side of the road first, and then follow this car in front of you later."
Lauren cautiously asked the driver to pull over and keep some distance from Emily's car.
Because she knew that when Emily found out that Matthew was not at the office. Surely she would come down immediately.
Sure enough, in less than five minutes, Emily walked out of the office with an ugly look on her face.
"Ring, ring, ring"
The phone in her bag rang and Lauren scanned the phone number on her phone and a smile appeared on her face.
"Emily, what can I do for you?"
Lauren faked a wake-up call.
"Lauren, didn't you say Matthew was at the office? Why didn't I see her in the office?"
Even on the phone, Lauren could guess that Emily had a very difficult expression on her face.
"I'm not really sure, maybe he went to get a drink with his friends, and as you know, usually Matthew still likes to be with his friends."
Before Lauren could finish her sentence, Emily angrily hung up the phone.
"Miss, the car in front of us has already driven away, should we follow?"
The driver reminded Lauren.
"Let's follow her first."
Because the direction Emily drove was not the direction of the mansion at all, so Lauren planned to follow her all the way to see what she wanted to do?
Lauren's heart grew restless as she walked further and further out of the way.
Lauren rushed to call Matthew.
Matthew picked up the phone after only two rings.
"But she still tried everything to get me out of you later. And even introduced Joshua to me. Let me live a very happy life during the time away from you, ah?"
Matthew sighed softly, pulled Lauren with him, walked out of the bathroom, and then went to his computer. Opened an email.
"Take a good look at it yourself, these are the information from the wind investigation. I can guarantee that it is 100% accurate. the reason why Emily tried every possible way to get you out is because she knows that you are a pawn in my hands, so she wants to use you and annex my Yin's Group, but what she didn't expect is. I Matthew is not like the man she used to know. Not only did she not annex Yin's Group, but she lost several deals."
In order to let Lauren completely understand Emily's character, Matthew simply sat across from her.
"Later, when there was no way to strike me, Emily encouraged you and Joshua to return to the country. To make you personally retaliate against me, think about it, at that time, she was not urging you to return to the country every day, and often in your ears about retaliation."
Lauren nodded her head, her face very pale. Because Matthew was so right, originally at that time with Joshua, with the little baby, he was really close to forgetting the pain of losing the baby.
But Emily was often in front of herself, mentioning the lost baby. Reinforcing her own revenge, she herself returned to the country again under her arrangement. Then as Mrs. Joshua, appear in front of Matthew.
"Now you should know how dangerous it is for you to follow Emily."
Lauren had a feeling of shivering all over.
If what Matthew just said was the truth, she really didn't dare to imagine that once she had just insisted on following Emily upstairs. She found out her whereabouts. Will she end up in the same situation as Ouyang Zihao.
The more Lauren thought about it, the more scared she became, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Matthew had to take her in his arms. So that she could feel the protective scent of her body.
It took a while for Lauren's mood to calm down a little. Lauren had a surreal feeling when she leaned into Matthew's arms and felt his scent.
"Young master, Miss. Shangguan is back, but it seems to be injured."
The maid's voice outside made Matthew flinch a little, and he hurriedly helped Lauren up, then opened the door to the room.
"Miss. Shangguan is injured? Is it serious?"
After all, she is a good friend that she truly treats, so when she heard the news of Emily's injury, Lauren was still a bit worried. If not for Matthew holding her hand, I believe she would have rushed to Emily's room.
"The situation is not very serious, but there are a few drops of blood on the shirt, and since Miss. Shangguan insists on not going to the hospital, there is nothing we can do."
Lauren looked up and looked at Matthew beside her.
"Let's go check it out."
"I can go alone, you have a good time calming down in the room, you go in this way now, it will inevitably cause her suspicion, and then some unnecessary trouble may occur."
Lauren thought about it, and also felt that Matthew was right. So he didn't follow Matthew's lead.
