Chapter 483
By the time Heather saw Matthias, it was already three days later. Matthias, who had returned from
Tasnia City, was a little more depressed. He must have gone through something in Tasnia City as his
spirit was gone, and even his gaze on Heather was empty and listless.
“Is something the matter?” It was a stiff opening. It seemed like he wasn’t in a good mood.
Heather was a little regretful to come to him at this time. Seeing his appearance, everything she
wanted to say was all stuck in her throat.
“It’s nothing.” After a long time, she managed to speak. Seeing his deadpan look, she wanted to forget
about talking to him.
However, her attitude angered him. She was part of the reason he had rushed back, and yet she had
dismissed him so easily.
“That’s not what you said three days ago.” His angry face leaned toward Heather, who was already
uncomfortable with him staring at her, let alone at such a close range.
“Stay away from me, Matthias.” Heather wasn’t one to be messed with as well. At once, she was
displeased. Matthias’ breath blew against her face, which was making her feel uncomfortable.
However, he didn’t listen to her. The corners of his mouth curled up into a wicked smile as he leaned
closer to her. Deliberately stretching out his arm, he seemed like he was about to wrap his arm around
her waist, causing her to dodge him like she was dodging something filthy. Her actions hurt him.
“Can’t take a joke, Miss Heather?” He still looked frivolous, deliberately concealing his displeasure.
After the commotion, she didn’t want to be polite anymore, so she opened up to him and said, “I came
to see you because I wanted to terminate the contract with you.” There was no need to be polite with
him because that contract shouldn’t have existed in the first place.
“Terminate?” Matthias asked even though he knew. At once, the wicked smile on his lips turned into a
menacing one. It was uncertain what he was scheming.
“I’m afraid I can’t do that.” The smile on his lips widened. It had been hard to get Heather to sign the
contract, so there was no way he would easily terminate it.
She knew that things would not go so smoothly, so she calmly looked at him. The speech she had
prepared earlier naturally tumbled out of her mouth.
“That contract doesn’t benefit you or me in any way, and I don’t see the need to continue.” She
intended to hold onto this point. Businessmen valued profit, and this argument made perfect sense.
Silently, he gazed at her. Until she finished speaking, he was still watching her with no intention to
reply. As such, she began to elaborate on this issue in detail. Meanwhile, he listened carefully to every
word she said with no response still.
Baffled by his attitude, she looked at him with a smirk, wondering what he meant by this.
At that moment, they stared at each other. Even Heather’s smirk was imprinted in his mind. It looked
like the two were having a tug of war, and even Evan who was watching from afar was nervous. He
could sense the tension from their gazes.
“You have analyzed a lot, and while it’s good, you’re not me. From my perspective, this analysis is too
biased,” he said bluntly, hitting the nail on the head.
Although she was high-sounding, he could still easily retort her arguments. He was determined not to
terminate the contract. No matter what she said, it would be impossible to convince him.
“Then what do I have to do for you to terminate the contract?” She was a smart person, so she stopped
beating around the bush and became more direct. Worst came to worst, she would use other
conditions in exchange for the termination.
Just then, he smiled without saying anything, and the answer was already evident. She glared at him
with dissatisfaction, disliking his frivolous appearance.
“It seems that there is no way to negotiate today.” She gave up the idea of continuing to convince him
to terminate the contract. She initially did not hold much hope, so she wasn’t too disappointed.
“I will not agree to this matter. The contract will not be terminated. I think it’s best if you give up on this
impractical idea as early as possible,” he said bluntly. He also did not want to give her any hope, so he
might as well be straightforward.
Hearing this, Heather revealed a cold smile. It was the kind of smile that unnerved people. Meanwhile,
Matthias gathered himself together and put on a serious look. At a glance, he looked compelling.
The two fought with their aura, and no one was willing to make concessions. If this went on, Evan was
worried that a physical fight would break out at the drop of a hat.
Just then, Evan deliberately and carefully approached them. Currently, the two were very close to each
other, and the eye contact was intense. Evan was imagining all kinds of scenarios in his head. Were
they going to start fighting, or were they going to kiss? In short, Evan was rather gossipy and full of
interest in the content of the chat between them.
“I really made a mistake coming to you today.” Heather was not willing to show weakness and said with
venom in her words.
Meanwhile, Matthias carelessly swept a glance at her. What she said did not provoke him, but instead,
he agreed. She shouldn’t have added any more trouble for him during this time.
As they exchanged pointed words, they were completely unable to get along. When they were together,
