Matthew was growing increasingly frustrated with Dylan’s stubbornness “What do you mean byen, how wn topposed to bring Sophie back for you? I’ve already told you, she’s injured and needs to stay at the estate to recover the cant come
here.
“If it’s money you want, I’ll give it to you later double it. Whatever it takes to make you happy ferit that encor
I fan’t
Dylan’s glare was sharp and unyielding “Get lost! I told you, I don’t want your money! I want my money, the copper cons eamed with my own hands! They’re mine, and no one has the right to touch them
“Why are you so obsessed with those measly copper coins? lent silver or banknotes better?
Dylan stood firm, his fists clenched tightly Because learned them myself Those coins were for my sister Every single one of them is my hard earned money. No matter how little, they have nothing to do with you or the Duke’s estate
Eliza despised everything tied to the Duke’s estate. That was why every gift Dylan gave her had to be earned by him alone, untainted by the family’s wealth
As long as it had no ties to the Duke’s estate, Dylan fell that Eliza would surely accept it!
Matthew let out a bitter laugh, his anger barely contained. “So, Dylan, in the end, this is all about Eliza, isn’t
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and closed his eyes for a moment.
He thought. From Diana to Dylan.
From my fiancée to my own brother,
Every single one of them is doing things for Elizal
Matthew opened his eyes again, the frustration had been replaced by a cold, detached look. Turning his head away, he said indifferently. “I won’t go back to find Sophie.”
He added, “Dylan, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear your accusations against Sophie just now. But if you bring it up again, don’t blame me for cutting ties with you for good.”
“You’re not going to look for her?”
“No, I’m not wasting my time chasing after Sophie because of your ridiculous lies.” Matthew’s tone was icy cold.
Matthew’s tone was icy cold.
Dylan stared at him for a long moment, his gaze sharp and unyielding. Finally, he nodded slowly. “Fine.”
He snatched the empty wooden box from Matthew’s hands and shoved him aside at the doorway “If you won’t go, then do it myself
He was getting his money back tonight, no matter what.
Without another word, Dylan spun around, clutching the wooden box, and stormed out the door.
Matthew said, “Dylan, stop right there! Are you out of your mind? It’s pitch black outside! Are you seriously doing all this for a few lousy coins?”
No matter how loudly Matthew yelled after him, Dylan didn’t look back. He didn’t even bother to secure headlong into the night.
Matthew was so furious he could barely contain himself. “Fine! If you don’t care, then neither will !!” Leaving the hut’s door wide open, Matthew dashed into the night, chasing after him.
e his hut, charging
In just 3 hours, Dylan had run all the way from the base of Mount Westin to the outskirts of Hasen City, leaving Matthew far behind
Dylan waited outside the city gates, pacing impatiently. The moment the gates creaked open at dawn, he bolted inside without hesitation.
After a while, the once–quiet street outside the Duke’s estate was suddenly filled with the deafening sound of someone pounding on the gate.
“Open the door! Get out here and open it now!” Dylan’s furious voice echoed through the street.
“Who’s making such a racket this early in the morning?” the gatekeeper, was awakened by the commotion and grumbled. When the gatekeeper opened the door, he was met with Dylan’s bloodshot eyes, his face twisted in a way that made the man instinctively recoil in fear
Before the man could react, Dylan slammed his foot against the gate, forcing it open with a loud crash. “If you won’t open it,
The gatekeeper, terrified by Dylan’s aggressive stance, shouted, “Help! Someone, come quickly! Stop Mr. Stonor”
