Chapter 382
Samantha stood next to Gabriella with an upset look on her face. She could no longer hold her tears in as they began dripping to the floor. She whimpered in a very sad voice to Gabriella about how cold and scary Matthew had treated her today.
"I have no idea why Matthew would treat me that way, Mrs. Leon. All I wanted to do was to help him today, but he said all I did was ruin things."
Even though Samantha exaggerated somewhat, some of her exaggerations turned out to be words that Matthew wanted to say to her but did not manage to.
Gabriella slammed the table angrily. She had just gotten her nails done not long ago and she almost broke them from slamming the table.
"Did he really say that?"
Samantha's heart thumped wildly when she saw how angry Gabriella was. However, this would probably work only if Gabriella got angry. Samantha exaggerated what was said to her.
"Matthew even said that I can never compare to Lucy. Not only that, he even kicked me out... What am I supposed to do next, Mrs. Leon?"
Even though Samantha was a secretary at Leon Corporation working for Matthew, she was still a Shelby and a rich socialite. She had never experienced such an attitude before. Unfortunately for her, she had suffered the most from Matthew. He would never treat her that way if it were not for Lucy.
Samantha was considered quite a catch. She had a great body and a beautiful face. Every man in the city wanted to date her and be with her.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Why was it that when it came to Matthew, the Shelbys meant nothing to him? Lucy was a woman who could be trampled on and discarded. She did not deserve Matthew's care and concern. Samantha could not understand this, but she was not the only one. Gabriella could not understand it either, which was why both of them were on the same page.
"Matthew is getting even more brazen than before! What did Lucy do to him to get him so enamored with her?!"
This was when Samantha began to put up a nice girl act in front of Gabriella.
"Don't say that, Mrs. Leon. Lucy is still Matthew's wife, after all. They're husband and wife in the eyes of the law. Matthew might be taking care of her because he has his pride to look out for."
Gabriella sighed. She patted Samantha's hand as she gave Samantha a tissue to wipe away her tears.
"Matthew must have been blinded by that woman. How lucky he is to have a woman like you by his side but he just refuses to listen to reason!" Gabriella sighed while cooking up a plan in her heart.
She decided to drop by the CEO's office to see her disobedient son.
Samantha did not dare to go into Matthew's office again. She was afraid he would treat her in a strict and mean manner again.
However, Gabriella said, "It'll be fine.
It won't be a problem if I'm there with you. Don't be afraid, Samantha. I'll handle Matthew for you. He will never say those horrible words to you again!"
Samantha pretended to look hesitant but she was secretly gleeful. This was a great excuse for her to stay by Matthew's side.
She remembered that Matthew had said that
would be at the office as well. She wondered what Lucy would think if she saw Smanatha with Matthew.
with nderful wife, Lucy
Samantha wiped away her tears and went off to freshen up. She refused to be defeated by Lucy and had to stand out in every way possible.
Samantha wanted Lucy to have a good look at how she was the better woman for Matthew.
