Chapter 51
Matilda rested for a night and went to the office as usual the next day.
Surprisingly, no one in the office discussed what had happened the day before.
It was as if nothing had happened. Everything was just as usual.
Shawn didn’t call the police.
Matilda didn’t call the police, either.
Firstly, Shawn’s retribution was gratifying.
Secondly, Matilda wanted to protect the person who secretly dealt with Shawn.
BE YOUR ROTA
That person did good deeds without leaving a name. If he were not found, he could continue to help others and make the world a better place.
Once found, he would definitely be locked up.
That was how Matilda considered it.
Michael called the media and re-recorded Matilda’s exclusive interview for Coreline Eternity.
Matilda briefly introduced the breakthroughs that would be made in future chips.
Only two days passed, and the number of hits on the official website of Coreline Eternity increased significantly.
There were also a few fingerprint rings reserved.
The team members were all ecstatic.
Since she joined the company, Matilda had not yet treated her colleagues to a meal.
She selected a buffet restaurant online and ordered a few bottles of wine.
Her colleagues said that they would take turns toasting her, which scared her into hiding in the leisure area to listen to people singing.
As luck would have it, the singer was Shelby.
Brandon was in the audience, his eyes gentle and indulgent.
Matilda rolled her eyes and went to the restroom.
Unexpectedly, Shelby was there, vainly admiring herself in the mirror by the sink, waiting for her.
She was wearing a pure and sweet white dress and had cut light, thin bangs.
With Shelby’s flick of her hair, Matilda noticed a faint hickey on Shelby’s neck.
She could imagine Brandon kissing Shelby with a gentle, dreamlike kiss.
Her stomach churned.

Matilda threw up all the wine she had drunk.

Shelby didn’t care at all and said with a sneer. “You are the one who is slutty, yet you think others are messing around.
“No matter how disgusting I am, I am not even close to you.
“Aren’t you aware that you’ve been drugged and raped by Shawn?”
Snap! Matilda raised her hand and slapped Shelby with accuracy and swiftness.
She fumed. “Stop spreading rumors about me, or I’ll tear your mouth up.”
Shelby covered her face and glared at Matilda.
Wanting to fight back but knowing she couldn’t win, she resorted to verbal attacks. “You’re getting worked up. It seems I hit the nail on the head.
“When I was studying abroad, I saw a lot of things like this, and afterwards, they were all clueless.”
Matilda raised her hand again.
The slap didn’t land, as Brandon, who had come over, stopped her.
Brandon said nothing, watching Matilda with a complicated expression, and waited for her answer.
He also wanted to know if Matilda was still clean and pure.
“Questioning my innocence?” Matilda glanced at Brandon with contempt.
Brandon didn’t speak.
The tiny needle tip could prick the sorest spot. All the good Brandon had done in the past, no matter how warm, could no longer warm her heart, which had frozen.
Matilda didn’t want to explain a single word to Brandon. ‘Let him misunderstand however he wants.’
Matilda bypassed the two and was about to leave the washstand.
Brandon grabbed her arm again. “You haven’t answered.”
Matilda turned her head and looked at Brandon indifferently. “It’s what you think.”
Brandon paused.
The hand that was holding Matilda’s arm loosened little by little.
Matilda had a new understanding of Brandon.
He was just as hateful and dirty as those on the internet, who were venomous and ugly and liked to publish victim-blaming theories.
She was not an inexperienced little girl. Without having sex for so long, if someone had touched her, her body would definitely have felt uncomfortable.
She could be 100% sure that Shawn didn’t take advantage of her.

On the way back, Brandon’s mind was filled with the scene of Matilda being unable to resist while being played with by Shawn at will.
He floored the accelerator, and the car ran so fast that it was about to take off.
Shelby was too scared to open her eyes, and she screamed repeatedly.
Her screams were muttled sounds from her throat.
It was more like begging for mercy in a state of excitement.
Hearing it made Brandon feel hot all over, as if hundreds of ants were gnawing at his body.
When he arrived at Rose Villa, Brandon went straight upstairs.
Shelby lifted her dress and followed closely behind him, all the way into the bedroom.
Brandon closed the door, turned around, and took off Shelby’s clothes.
He stripped her clean, picked her up, and threw her onto the bed.
He then took off his suit, tie, and belt.
Like a completely irrational beast, his eyes were red, unable to recognize the woman in front of him, and he just wanted to
vent!
Shelby thought, ‘I’ll succeed this time.
‘After I sleep with Brandon, I’ll cry in front of Kathy.
‘Kathy and Daniel always want a grandson and will definitely find a way to get Brandon to marry me.’
Before she snapped out of her thoughts, Lola knocked on the door from outside.
She called out, “Daddy, Mommy, are you back?
“I want you to play with me.”
Brandon immediately lost interest.
He picked up Shelby’s clothes and told her to put them on before going out.
When Shelby opened the door, she found Tully peeking over.
She immediately understood that this damned nanny had instigated Lola to knock on the door.
She swore inwardly, ‘I’ll fire this old nuisance sooner or later.
At the buffet restaurant, the manager said that salmon and baked ribs were their specialties.
Matilda packed a portion for Jolene, her little benefactor.
She used Mr. S’s card to pay the bill.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration. ‘Allen’s last name is “S.” Could he be Mr. S?’
However, it didn’t seem to make sense.
There were millions of dollars in this card.
Allen’s car was an old Land Rover he rented from a car rental company, and his apartment in Maple Heights was also rented with his parents’ money. His annual salary was only 300 thousand dollars. How could he casually give out a card with millions to help someone?
Matilda sighed heavily as she thought about it.
She thought, ‘Mr. S and Allen, how should I repay the kindness of these two people?’
What a headache.
Back at Maple Heights, Matilda looked up at the top floor and found the lights were off.
Allen didn’t work night shifts. He should be home at this hour.
The salmon packed for Jolene wouldn’t taste good if it got cold.
Matilda sent a voice call to Jolene’s fingerprint ring.
Jolene answered quickly, saying that she was staying at her grandma’s tonight, and her dad drove home alone.
Matilda felt that Allen had just saved her, so she should not deliberately alienate him anymore.
So she called Allen, but his phone was turned off.
She called again after ten minutes, but it was still powered off.
She couldn’t help but worry.
When Allen saved her the day before, he injured Shawn. And when treating Shawn, he tortured him without using
anesthesia.
Matilda worried, ‘Will Tinsley make trouble for Allen?’
