Chapter 85
Matilda’s expression was like a silent sky. No one could predict whether there was a storm hidden…
She transferred several elderly patients who could not interrupt their treatment to public hospitals.
She used the thousands of dollars left on her own card to pay the bills.
By the time she finished everything, it was already 8 am on the third day.
Matilda rushed from the hospital to the packaging factory.
Having not slept all night, she leaned against the car window and took a nap.
She dreamed of the scene when she woke up from the ICU five years ago.
At that time, there was not only physical pain, but also the mental torment of family ruin.
She resisted treatment and once wanted to commit suicide.
Brandon came in wearing an isolation gown and showed her photos of their daughter.

He also said that he decided to build a House of Heart in Domburgh to shelter displaced elderly people and children…
And a factory, where disabled young and middle-aged people could make a living and support their families…
The only reason he was doing all this was so she could recover, so she could live, for him and for their daughter.
When the driver woke Matilda up, a tear was hanging on her cheek.
She paid the money, got out of the car, and looked at this packaging factory named after love.
Who would have thought that five years later, it and House of Heart would become the ropes that Brandon twice strangled her with.
The factory’s remote control gate slowly opened.
A group of workers came out from inside.
Some used crutches, some were in wheelchairs, and some had prosthetics. Some looked like normal people, but they were missing an arm…
Their faces were pale, they were in tears, and they kept looking back, their faces filled with despair and confusion.
They stopped outside the factory gate and noticed a tall, graceful woman standing not far away.
They all looked up in astonishment.
Her eyes, like a proud eagle’s, were calm and resolute, without the slightest fear. She called out to them in a loud, clear voice, “Don’t be afraid. I will never abandon you. Follow me, and I’ll take you home!”
The crowd fell silent as everyone looked at each other.
The gloom in their eyes was as if pierced by a rainbow, suddenly becoming bright and radiant.

“Matilda”
“Matilda is here.”

In Domburgh, no one called Matilda Mrs. Grimes, and Matilda didn’t allow them to call her Mrs. Grimes.
She felt a sense of intimacy when they called her by her name, just like her parents did.
The workers wiped the tears from their faces. They forgot that they had difficulty walking and didn’t care whether their running posture was attractive.
Like people in despair seeing the last straw in their lives, they rushed to run in front of Matilda.
Matilda found a place to talk and comforted everyone.
She didn’t have much money in her card, so she gave the card Mr. S gave her to the man in the wheelchair.
The man refused to take it, and the others didn’t agree that he should take it.
They knew nothing about the affairs in the technology circle.
But they heard the factory director say that Matilda was going to divorce Brandon, and the packaging factory might not continue to operate in the future.
All they wanted was a steady job, something to survive on. Not the money in Matilda’s hand…
Looking at the confused and hesitant faces, Matilda made a solemn promise to them.
She would save the packaging factory.
If she couldn’t save it, she would find other ways to help everyone find a new way to make a living.
The workers trusted and relied on Matilda completely. But they still wouldn’t take the card, insisting they could live off their own savings for now.
Matilda promised that she wouldn’t keep them waiting too long.
At seven o’clock in the evening, the wind picked up.
The weather forecast said it would rain heavily at night.
Matilda tied her hair into a high ponytail and wore a black leather jacket.
She didn’t know what was in her pockets, but they were bulging.
She glanced at her phone. Coreline Eternity still had no news about Singularity 2’s success.
Neil might have encountered some difficulties, and she needed to go back as soon as possible.
Matilda took out a cigarette and went to the cemetery.
She cleaned her parents’ gravestones, bowed her head in respect. By the time she finished, darkness had fallen thick enough to blot out her hand before her face.
She called the cemetery guard.

She said. “Gather a few people and entertain my husband’s sister.”

It was Shelby’s first time helping Brandon with something.
So she checked the packaging factory’s accounts until nine o’clock in the evening. She didn’t want to return empty-handed.
She discovered that the packaging factory’s annual net profit was actually over 30 million dollars.
With government support and tax breaks, its revenue was actually quite substantial.
Matilda couldn’t possibly not know this.
Then, when Brandon asked her to sign the divorce agreement, saying that the packaging factory was losing money and that she should use Rose Villa to offset 300 million dollars, why did she agree directly?
Her mind must have been muddled by anger.
Shelby snorted with ridicule.
Since she had already dug into the factory’s accounts, she had to uncover something.
Otherwise, it would make her seem incompetent.
Shelby closed her eyes to rest. Tomorrow, instead of combing through the books, she would “inspect” the hygiene of those disabled workers…
As the car passed through a section without streetlights, there was a sudden loud “thud”.
The front and rear wheels swung wildly out of control, spinning 360 degrees in the middle of the road.
Shelby nearly lost her soul. “Wh-what’s going on?”
The bodyguard driving the car cursed, “Damn it, tire blowout!”
The other three bodyguards said, “Don’t panic. Hold the steering wheel tightly first.”
“Ms. Webster, is your seat belt fastened? Grab the handrail.”
Shelby grabbed the handrail, her nervous heart about to jump out of her throat.
Fortunately, the car wasn’t going fast, and there were no other cars on the road.
After spinning four or five times, the car stopped in the middle of the road.
The bodyguards cooperated to put out the triangle sign, jack up the car, get the tools, and change the spare tire, all assuming Shelby hadn’t gotten out of the car.
Shelby felt nauseous from the shaking, got out of the car from the other side, and ran to the side of the road to vomit.
Suddenly, three tall, muscular men in black baseball caps and masks pinned her down, slapped tape over her mouth, and carried her up the mountain.
Shelby couldn’t shout, couldn’t call out.

The light on the mountain was very weak, and she could vaguely see someone standing halfway up the mountain.
The person was wearing black clothes that almost blended into the night, making it difficult to tell if they were male or female.
