Evelyn Clayton was slightly taken aback, her steps halted montarily in place.
When did Matthew Sullivan co out?
At this mont, Matthew also looked over.
He was standing by the roadside, seeming a bit down and out, entirely unlike his usual charming and dashing self. The dark circles under his eyes made his complexion look slightly nacing.
Matthew also noticed the two of them, his gaze swept past them, and the shadow in his eyes flickered and vanished.
Evelyn almost thought it was her imagination.
Instinctively, Yara Reagan stepped in front of Evelyn, looking at Matthew with caution.
"Matthew Sullivan, when did you co out?" Yara questioned irritably, "And why are you here?"
Matthew’s usual aloofness was gone; he had no intention to respond nor approach them.
And Evelyn just quietly looked at him, suddenly unsure of what to feel.
She used to utterly despise Matthew, but seeing him again, she suddenly felt it was aningless.
He was nothing more than a complete tragedy.
Suddenly, Matthew moved, walking in their direction.
Yara grew even more tense, gritting her teeth, "Matthew Sullivan, do you still want to make a move—"
Before she finished her sentence, Matthew walked past them and straight towards the opposite direction.
Yara showed a bit of shock, quickly turning around to look.
Matthew’s figure was already moving farther away, and upon closer look, his back seed slightly hunched.
After a long pause, Evelyn finally ca back to her senses.
Beside her, Yara was mumbling, "Has he changed? Got beaten up inside? It shouldn’t be..."
Evelyn collected her thoughts, pressing down Yara’s arm and her inner turmoil, "Yara, you go inside and get sothing to eat first. I’ll make a call."
Yara muttered in agreent and turned around to go inside.
Then, Evelyn took out her mobile phone and dialed Jas Grant.
The phone rang just once before Jas answered with a teasing tone, "Surprise, you still bother to contact ?"
Evelyn got straight to the point, her tone slightly heavy, "I saw Matthew Sullivan."
After a long silence, Jas’s grip on the phone tightened slightly, his knuckles turning white, "He didn’t do anything to you, did he?"
"I’m fine." Evelyn finally showed a bit of surprise and wonder.
"But what’s strange is, Matthew saw and Yara, but he said nothing and just walked away."
Now it was Jas’s turn to be surprised.
After hanging up, soone knocked on the door of Jas’s office.
The visitor was Jasper Grant, and seeing his brother deep in thought, he couldn’t help but ask first, "Big brother, what’s wrong?"
Jas looked up at him, his tone cold and indifferent, "Matthew Sullivan is out."
"Is Director Pierce okay?" Jasper gasped slightly, "Did Matthew intend to follow Director Pierce?"
Jas just shook his head slightly.
"Seems like a coincidence."
Such an answer also made Jasper ponder for a while.
After a long pause, he suddenly seed to rember sothing, "He’s out, why didn’t he go to father to seek justice for himself?"
The doubts in Jas’s heart were mostly resolved at that mont.
He remained silent, not answering Jasper’s question.
Because they were the sa, extrely disappointed with such a father.
Moreover, Jas could tell that although Matthew was cold, self-centered, and ruthless, loving only himself, he still sowhat longed for Harrison Grant’s respect and affection, wanting to surpass the other sons—
naly himself and Jasper.
In this way, Harrison’s greatest reliance would also be him.
Perhaps there were ambitions for Harrison’s power and inheritance involved, but there was likely also a longing for paternal love.
Matthew’s complexity is hard to sum up in a sentence or two.
Returning to his senses, Jas changed the subject.
"By the way, how did you do with inviting the business partner we previously collaborated with through Sumr Monroe?"
