“Release him.”
The steely command came from none other than Matthew. His intentions were clear as he watched with unrelenting intensity. His orders were met with compliance as Fernando relinquished his grip, and Alex crumpled to the floor.
Gasping for breath, Alex struggled to distance himself from Matthew, his only thoughts centered on self-preservation.
Matthew peered down at him with eyes that seemed capable of unspeakable wrath.
Alex’s heart pounded wildly as he realized the grave peril he was in.
Immediately, he tried to crawl away from Matthew with his hands and feet.
Matthew narrowed his eyes, stepped forward and kicked him hard on the back.
Alex pounced forward, desperately trying to escape with his hands supporting on the floor.
Unfortunately, Matthew stomped on his legs and crushed them.
“Ah!” The torture was too much to bear for Alex. Beads of sweat started to trickle down his forehead as he screamed in agony.
He gritted his teeth and knew that he was doomed today.
Matthew stomped on him harder and said in a cold voice, “How dare you drug me?”
“Mr. Clark…” Alex replied, his lips trembling. He instinctively twisted his body, trying to escape.

He shook his head, resolute.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.
My intention was only to drug you, to discover your vulnerabilities and ensure you’d give me a second chance. I swear there was no ulterior motive.”
Alex’s gamble hinged on the belief that beneath the facade of a ruthless businessman, Matthew had his limits. He sought a means of survival.
But Matthew’s reaction was far from reassuring. His demeanor turned colder as he let out a snort, and he issued a chilling ultimatum.
“I heard you enjoy playing cards, Alex. You play every day. Do you have any idea what will happen if I break your hands?”
