Betrayed by Four: Reborn, Their Rival Mafia Lord Became My Husband - Chapter 504: Chapter 504

When Hurley and Sophie got up, it was already mid-morning.
There were still a lot of things to do, but Hurley just didn't want to get out of bed.
It wasn't until his phone rang many times, and Sophie began to urge him, that Hurley reluctantly got up.
Seeing the caller ID, Hurley said, "I'll take a call outside."
"Alright."
Hurley walked to the balcony and called back.
The call was quickly connected, and it was not from the company but from the person who was watching Matilda.
"Mr. Walton, Matilda can't take it anymore. She said she's willing to tell you the truth."
Matilda thought that she could hide by pretending to be mentally ill, but Hurley had someone change her place and locked her up in a dark basement.
That place was too dark, and after an unknown amount of time, there was no light at all, which caused great oppression in her heart.
Moreover, her hands and feet were bound with iron chains, so she had no room to move around. The food she ate every day was not as good as that of her pet dog, which she had raised before.
The most disgusting thing was going to the toilet. The environment there was too bad. She was human and could not hold back at all.
Then, that disgusting smell kept floating in the air. Matilda couldn't bear it.
She used to be a big star admired by thousands of people. She walked glamorously under the camera, and she was the envy of so many people.
But now, she was actually living like this, unable to ask for life or death.
Matilda couldn't stand it anymore. She never wanted to live like this again. She would rather tell everything and let Hurley take advantage of her.
"Okay, got it."
Although Matilda was willing to speak, Hurley was not in a hurry to go over.
The person who was anxious now should be Matilda, not him, so there was no need for him to rush over.
After answering the call, Hurley went in from the balcony and said, "Sophie, I have something to do in the afternoon, so I need to go out."
"You go about your business, you don't need to tell me."
"No, I have to report to you." This was the first time Hurley wanted to tell someone about everything.
Sophie rubbed her forehead. Forget it. If Hurley wanted to say it, he should just say it.
Hurley only went out in the afternoon. After washing up, he made a simple breakfast, held another meeting in the morning, and closed his laptop in the afternoon.
Sophie was at home when she received a call from Amy.
"Night, the Shaw family contacted me."
"The Shaw family? Adrian?" Sophie asked.
"Yes, Old Lady Shaw seems to be not doing well. Adrian wants to ask Night to come and see her. Do you want to refuse?"
The Shaw family was going through a series of changes. The Shaw family was originally supported by this strong old lady. Although Adrian was not young anymore, he hadn't reached the point where only he could support a family or a company.
Because of what happened in the Shaw family, Shaw Corporation's stock price fluctuated greatly, and internal problems began to occur. Many people wanted to snatch the power in Adrian's hands.
If something happened to the old lady, it was still uncertain whether Adrian could keep the Shaw Corporation.
"I'm not going; you go take a look," Sophie said.
"Am I to save her?" After Amy had come to the capital, she knew bit by bit what had happened.
She found out that Sophie's accident had something to do with the Shaw family.
"Save her, why wouldn't you save her? Sometimes, when a person dies, that's when he's free." Sophie didn't have any grudges against Old Lady Shaw.
She only knew that she was very dominant and had always looked down on her. She was like this many years ago.
She quite wanted to see the old lady suffer the consequences, but instead of leaving like this, it was better for her to live well, watch everything now, and spend the rest of her life in endless regret.
Moreover, it was Adrian's request to save the old lady.
Although Sophie did not have any feelings toward Adrian again, he did take care of her when she was a child. Helping him save the old lady was also a token of gratitude to Adrian.
Although a lot happened, Adrian was not involved in it.
He was too indecisive, and he still had a long way to go in the future. After this, he should grow up.
"Okay, then I'll book an appointment with the Shaw family."
"Okay."
After finishing the call with Amy, Jessica called Sophie again.
"Sophie, I have finished filming, can I come to play with you?"
Sophie thought that if Hurley came back anytime soon, it would be bad if Jessica ran into him.
In addition, she felt that she was fine now and didn't need Hurley to take care of her. If Hurley wanted to take care of her, he always want to take care of her in bed.
Taking the opportunity, she could hide at Jessica's place.
"I'll come play with you. I'll stay at your place for a couple of days. How about that?"
Of course, Jessica agreed, "Wait, did something happen? Why do you suddenly want to come and stay with me?"
"It's nothing, I just miss you."
"Okay, I'll come to pick you up later." Jessica said happily.
"Okay!"
……
Hurley went to the place where Matilda was being held.
But instead of going to the basement, he had someone bring Matilda up.
Matilda was different from last time, when she was pretending to be crazy, at least on the surface, she was quite clean.
And that day, Matilda no longer pretended to be crazy, as she felt wretched.
Her hair hadn't been washed for a long time, and it was extremely greasy. Her cheeks were sunken, and she looked like a ghost.
Her body was even more stinking, and her clothes and trousers were so dirty that it was impossible to see.
When she was taken out, Matilda's legs couldn't stand steadily, and she fell to her knees.
When she saw the light outside, she felt it was particularly dazzling, and Hurley sat on the sofa not too far away, looking even more like a god.
It seemed like a lifetime away. The outside world was so beautiful, and the surroundings were full of light. It was so beautiful, and the light was so desirable.
She looked around greedily, wanting to climb to a place where the sun was shining.
Hurley still looked so high and mighty, like the king of the world.
She used to feel like a queen, but now, she felt that she was not even a humble servant. She and Hurley had long since become people in two worlds apart.
How... did it turn out like this?
"I heard that you've come to your senses." It was Hurley who spoke first.
Next to him, there was an hourglass.
He turned the hourglass over and said, "Ten minutes, explain everything clearly. This is your only chance."
"Otherwise, you can just stay here for the rest of your life."
Matilda was in a daze. She opened her mouth but could not defend herself.
"Hurley, how is Stephen?" Matilda thought about her son.
She hadn't seen Stephen for a long time, and she didn't know how he was doing now.
"Matilda, don't think about playing any tricks. Stephen is fine now."
Under his grandmother's guidance, Stephen was already studying well, and now he did not have the jealous, cheating, and harmful behaviors that Matilda had taught him.
"That's good." Matilda smiled.
"You have nine minutes. Are you sure you want to waste your time on this?" Hurley was impatient.
What he said was giving Matilda one last chance, which was Matilda's last chance.
If Matilda didn't say it this time, he would never want to hear it again.
This could not be Matilda's bargaining chip, and even if Matilda didn't say anything, one day, he would be able to find out the whole truth.
If Matilda was willing to spend her life in this kind of place, he would ensure it for her, so that she would regret living here for the rest of her life.
"After I say it, will you let me go?" Matilda asked.
A trace of disgust flashed in Hurley's eyes, "You have no right to negotiate with me."
