Chapter 323 Might Have to Disappoint You
The fact that he hadn’t killed that woman in one go left a sour taste in Mathco’s mouth.

Instinctively, he tightened his grip on Julia’s arm; something icy and cruel glinted in his eyes.
Julia winced from the pain, but didn’t dare resist. She could only let her father dig his fingers into her arm without a word.
Inside the hospital room, Sienna still struggled to speak. It took her forever to squeeze out a few words. She looked pale and out of breath; her forehead slick with cold sweat. Without the oxygen mask, she probably would’ve passed out at any second.
Jean couldn’t help but speak up in a soft voice. “Mom, whatever you want to say–there’ll be plenty of time later. Can you rest for now? Just focus on getting better.”
Everyone else agreed with Jean.
“We’ve got everything handled,” Dominic said with a firm nod toward Sienna, his voice steady and reassuring. “You just rest.”
Hearing her children speak like that, Sienna didn’t try to push herself any further. She took a few deep breaths and was about to close her
eyes-
But then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Matheo standing at the doorway.
Her eyes flew open; an overwhelming storm of emotion surged through them as her whole body began to tremble. “Matheo… Matheo… he’s the one who did this to me…”
Back when the crash happened, she hadn’t been able to think clearly; she couldn’t tell if it was just an accident or if someone had planned it–and if so, who.
But in the short time since she woke up, everything had become painfully clear.
If it hadn’t been Matheo, she couldn’t think of anyone else.
Now, her emotions exploded. She wanted nothing more than to leap from the bed, throw herself at him like a raging ghost, and tear his throat out with her teeth.
The anger she’d buried for so long had finally hit its breaking point.
From the beginning, she’d fallen for the wrong man–a polished shell hiding nothing but rot inside; a fraud, through and through.
And because of that, she’d given her children a cold, selfish, absent father who never knew how to love them.
Their family had almost crumbled under that twisted, painful weight…
Now he wasn’t just hurting the kids–he had tried to take her life, too.
Matheo… someone like you doesn’t deserve love. You don’t deserve money, fame, or power. You should rot in hell for eternity, beneath even the filth on the devil’s boots. Sienna’s arm lifted instinctively and began to flail.
Her sons rushed forward and pinned it down, trying to calm her.

Seeing her so shaken, Matheo couldn’t help but laugh.

“You seem pretty pissed off!” he raised his voice on purpose, making sure she could hear him. His face twisted slightly as he sneered, lips curling into a cold, vicious grin. “Too bad you can’t do anything. Go ahead and die mad about it!”
Jean whipped her head around to glare at him.
Her stare was like the flick of a poisonous snake’s tongue–just one glance made the skin crawl.
She stared at Matheo without blinking, like she wanted to tear him apart with her eyes alone.
Matheo realized he couldn’t hold her gaze. He looked down, guilt flaring in his chest.
Jean’s lips curled into a smile. “You don’t actually think you’ve got this in the bag, do you? You think no matter what you’ve done, you’ll still get to lie back and collect your share?”
Frost spread in her eyes. “Sorry to break it to you–but you’re probably in for a big disappointment.” Matheo’s chest seized up with a sudden jolt of panic. A terrible feeling rushed in all at once. “What do you mean by that?”
