After taking over the Spinfluence Group with Zac's investment and the investors Zac had brought in, and now with Antheena's assistance, Conrad had become stronger and was no longer afraid of Matthew.
In the past, Conrad had been eager to kill Matthew, but now he was more interested in watching Matthew fall from grace, step by step, and become his puppet. The best way to torture someone was to slowly make them lose hope, rather than plunging them into despair right away.
Matthew paused and turned around. "Really? Then I will remember your kindness."
"No need to be formal. We are family, after all. It's only right."
For some reason, hearing Matthew's words, Conrad felt a sense of pride. To be precise, it was the thrill of being the winner after a competition. It was indeed a pleasure.
Matthew found Elizabeth's personal maid packing some of Elizabeth's daily necessities. He then returned to the Imperial Scenery Villa with Mrs. Coleman.
On the way back, Matthew drove with Serena in the passenger seat and Elizabeth, Veronica, and Mrs. Coleman in the back seat.
Elizabeth held Veronica's hand, filled with emotion. "Veronica, do you think I'm old and useless too?"
Ever since she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, those who used to be loyal to her had all turned to Conrad.
Especially when Matthew held the 'funeral,' everyone thought Elizabeth had lost her support and had no one to back her up, so they each found a new master.
Veronica shook her head. "What are you talking about, Elizabeth? This has nothing to do with you. If anything, Matt and I have dragged you down."
"Silly girl, we are family. There's no such thing as dragging each other down." Elizabeth patted Veronica's hand and smiled kindly.
"Then, Elizabeth, why don't you live in the Imperial Scenery Villa from now on? This way, I can see you every day, and you can see Matt every day." She leaned her head on Elizabeth's shoulder and said playfully.
