| furrowed my brows and grabbed Heidi's arms. "Get u p first. We can talk later. There are so many people here.
What would they think if they saw you on your knees?”
The people who passed by would stare in our direction for stime. To be honest, | was feeling a little
awkward.
However, Heidi shook her head. "President Lane, you know as well that | cto this city alone to work. | don't
have any relatives or friends here. | can only ask for your help now. Benny is a hypocrite. Back then, | was
bewitched by him and did those bad things to you. After he was done using me, he finally showed his true colors.
He beatsup and scoldsevery day. He'll take it out onwhenever he has a bad day. | can't stand a life
like this anymore."
"Then you should divorce him." Heidi refused to stand up, so | had no choice but to crouch down.
"He's not going to agree.” Heidi cried miserably. "If | could divorce him, I'd have done so earlier. Why would | let
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmyself suffer so much? President Lane, I'm begging you. Can you please help me? I'll die if | continue living
together with him.”
I was overwhelmed for a moment. "How am |
supposed to help you?"
How could an outsider interfere with a family’s private matters?
Heidi wiped away the tears on her face. Crying, she said, "I have evidence of him abusing me. | can file for
divorce unilaterally, but no lawyer is willing to help m e. He's even threateningwith my family. Even though
he's detained now, he'll be released soon. | don’t have a choice. Please, help me."
Benny and Heidi had a great difference in social standing. It was just like she had said. If Benny refused to let her
go, she would never be able to free herself from him.
Even though she was beggingfor help, I did not have the power to help her get rid of Benny.
Heidi clung to my arm tightly when she saw the hesitant look on my face. Her voice was quivering as she said, "I
wanted to beg President Grant to help me. Can you please helprelay the message? You're my only hope now.
| beg you, please helpfor old time's sake."
"| told you not to give her your phone number. You shouldn't have meddled in other people’s business from the
very beginning." | heard a man’s cold voice behind me.
| stood up, turned my head, and saw Matthew. | smiled awkwardly. "Why did you cout?"
He ignoredand walked toward Heidi, speaking in a cold voice, "Both of you merely shared a
superiorsubordinate relationship back then. There's nothing significant about it. Do you think you should be
asking her to help you with such things?"
Heidi moved her lips. The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she did not say anything.
Matthew snorted at her. Then, he draggedout of the hotel.
"Matthew, can you slow down?" | was wearing high heels, and | could not keep up with his pace.
| frowned when he did not slow down. "Matthew, where are you bringingto?"
He turned around and looked atwith a gloomy expression."Do you want to help her?”
"She's in a miserable state now, but-"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"But?” Before | managed to finish my sentence, Matthew interrupted coldly. "Haven't you realized that there's
something wrong with Benny's mental state? Have you thought about what you're going
to do if Benny takes revenge on you for helping her?"
He was getting a little emotional. | wanted to refute but | gave up. | replied helplessly, "Did | promise to help
her?”
Matthew sneered. "If | hadn't cout to stop you, wouldn't you have agreed to help her?"
| pursed my lips and did not deny that.
No matter what, Heidi previously worked withfor a few years. During that time, we got along pretty well too.
When | saw her kneeling in front of me, begging and pleading, | indeed could not bring myself to reject her.
If it had not been for Matthew who cout to stop m e, | might have gotten soft-hearted and agreed to help
her.
