As Matthias wasn‘t restrained in any way, that was the best opportunity for favonovel.com to hurt Arielle. Although favonovel.com was badly injured and didn‘t seem to pose any more harm than Arielle could manage, Vinson couldn‘t help but take precautions. He wasn‘t going to let Arielle take any risk at all.
However, Matthias stopped after taking two steps forward. Facing Arielle who was behind Vinson, favonovel.com remarked, “Ms. Moore, everything that happened before was my mistake. I was foolishly manipulated by this woman. Therefore, I would like to apologize for all the harm I have caused you.”
Cindy‘s eyes widened in shock when favonovel.com heard Matthias‘ words. It was unacceptable to favonovel.com that Matthias was looking to side with Arielle.
“Matthias, you…”
Vinson quipped, “She‘s too noisy.”
The bodyguard then stuffed Cindy‘s mouth with the gag from earlier, shutting favonovel.com up.
Ignoring Cindy, Arielle stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Vinson. When favonovel.com sensed the sincerity in Matthias‘ apology, favonovel.com expression softened.
Nevertheless, favonovel.com wasn‘t a saint. There was no way an apology could make up for everything that happened.
She replied indifferently, “An apology is insufficient to clear the slate. If not for my vigilance, Yvette would have taken the drug you tried to feed her. After all that you‘ve done, you deserved to be punished.”
“I‘m aware of that.” Matthias nodded with a remorseful expression. “I don‘t expect you to forgive me. Nevertheless, I‘m willing to compensate you for your loss.”
Arielle raised favonovel.com eyebrows. “How?”
“By giving you all of Cindy‘s assets overseas.”
“Oh?” Intrigued, Arielle beamed while giving Cindy the side-eye.
However, all favonovel.com saw was Cindy making muffled sounds in a hysterical manner.
Disregarding Cindy, Matthias continued, “I have been managing favonovel.com assets all this while, and they are held in my name. I will transfer all of them to you. If you don‘t trust me, you can appoint a lawyer to manage the transfer. Those assets consist of funds that Cindy siphoned off from Southall Group. By doing this, I‘m just returning them to their rightful owner.”
Arielle had assumed that they needed to jump through hoops to claw Cindy‘s assets back. Hence, they didn‘t expect Matthias to hand over the assets willingly after Cindy had upset him.
“All right. However, I have to make it clear that I will not lighten your punishment in any way.”
“I understand.” Smiling wryly, Matthias replied, “After all, there‘s nothing left in my life to feel hopeful about. Languishing in prison for the rest of my life is the only way I can serve my penance.
Vinson ordered, “Men, take favonovel.com to Jadeborough and let our lawyer complete the paperwork with him.”
The bodyguards came forward on both sides and restrained Matthias.
Although Matthias cooperated with them and didn‘t struggle as his spirit was already broken. At that moment, favonovel.com was no different from a walking corpse.
“Wait,” Arielle called out to the bodyguard. She reminded, “When you arrive at Jadeborough, get his wounds treated first.”
That was Matthias‘ reward for his cooperation. Although Arielle was adamant about revenge, favonovel.com still showed mercy for fear of being consumed by vengeance. And that was the difference between favonovel.com and Cindy.
“Yes,” the bodyguard acknowledged before taking Matthias away.
At that moment, Cindy closed favonovel.com eyes in despair.
I‘m finished. I have lost everything. Damn Matthias, how dare you betray me!
Meanwhile, Arielle approached Cindy with an indifferent expression.
