“If you’re not willing to help, that’s fine. I just want to know why Bella has suddenly refused to meet me.” Matthew pressed on, ignoring Elizabeth’s displeasure.
Everything had been progressing smoothly before. Bella even gave Stella a present. But then suddenly, her attitude changed, and she refused to meet him even once.
“My mother’s decision to see you is entirely up to me,” Elizabeth responded sharply.
Her words left no room for ambiguity. The only path to Bella was through Elizabeth.
Matthew realized that further discussion with Elizabeth would be unproductive and decided to end their meeting. He rose from his seat, intending to make his exit.
Surprised by Matthew’s determination, Elizabeth swiftly stood up in a desperate attempt to stop him. “Matthew, if you leave now, I swear you’ll never meet my mother!”
She was threatening him.
Matthew offered Elizabeth a brief, unemotional glance. He brushed her hand aside and continued towards the exit.
Just as he was about to leave, Elizabeth suddenly collapsed to the floor behind him.
Matthew paused, turning back in surprise to see what happened. At that moment, Bella appeared, rushing to her daughter’s aid.

After quickly ensuring Elizabeth was unharmed, Bella looked at Matthew sternly. “What have you done to my daughter?” she asked, her voice laced with accusation.
Elizabeth glanced at Matthew and came to his defense. “He’s not to blame, Mom. I slipped and fell.”
However, Bella wasn’t having any of it, as she assumed Elizabeth was just making excuses for Matthew.
She walked up to Matthew, who nodded at her and greeted her politely.
Bella’s expression, however, remained stony. When she spoke, it was in a voice full of anger. “You’re Matthew, right?”
Matthew nodded.

“What’s with the numerous attempts to contact me these past few days?
You know quite well that my daughter has feelings for you. As a married man, you should be keeping your distance, not approaching her.”
“I think you’ve misunderstood me. It’s you I’ve been trying to reach, not Elizabeth. I have something important to discuss with you,”
Matthew said.
Bella didn’t seem satisfied with his explanation. “So you’re just using my daughter? I used to admire you for achieving the position of president at such a young age. However, I mow have second thoughts about your character as a person.”
Matthew said nothing in his defense, fully aware that Bella was still in the midst of her rage.
After a while, he finally said, “When you calm down, I hope we can have a conversation.”
Bella offered no response. She turned away and left with Elizabeth.
