Selina instinctively looked at Matthew.
Matthew looked into her eyes. "Selina, I still don't know what's going on. But if Rainee really is pregnant, it has nothing to do with me. Do you believe me?"
"I believe you!" Selina didn't hesitate for a moment.
Matthew's brows relaxed.
He patted her shoulder. "As long as you believe me, then it's okay."
"Be quiet first. Let's sit down and have a talk," Matthew said in a low voice.
The man's voice was steady and powerful, with the ability to pacify people.
He then asked the servants to serve them fruits and tea.
The messy scene was quickly controlled by Matthew.
Everyone was sitting on the sofa.
Matthew looked at Lucinda and said, "Madam Wood, you are Matheo's mother and my father's friend. I hope to talk to you peacefully."
Seeing that Matthew was calm and composed, Lucinda appreciated him even more.
She said, "Sure."
"Madam Wood, why did you come to my house? Now that everyone is here, let's talk about it."
Lucinda snorted. "Matthew, you got my daughter pregnant. I'm asking you for an explanation."
After that, she looked at Ludwik. "Your father also asked you to give an explanation!"
She deliberately pulled Ludwik to her side to put pressure on Matthew.
"Rainee is pregnant?"
Lucinda raised her voice. "If she's not pregnant, why would I look for you? You did it!"
Selina couldn't help but say, "What do you mean by 'he did it', did you see it happen?"
Lucinda shouted, "It was my daughter who said that. How could it be wrong?"
Matthew patted Selina's hands. "Don't get frustrated. Let me talk!"
As she bit her lips, a surge of anger welled up in her.
She felt that she could already guess what had happened.
Rainee probably still hadn't given up even now, and had even made such a scene!
She remembered the last time she'd met Rainee in the hospital. Had Rainee been pregnant then? Had she gone for an examination and then framed Matthew, saying that the child in her belly belonged to him?
If it wasn't because of Ludwik, with Selina's personality, she would have flown into a rage on the spot! Still, she had to leave a good impression on Ludwik.
"Rainee said that?" A glint flashed across Matthew's eyes. "Then, please call Rainee over. I want to ask her to her face."
Lucinda suddenly stood up. "You think I'm lying!"
In stark contrast to the fired up Lucinda, Matthew was calm.
He said mildly, "Since Rainee said such a thing, then it's a must to confront her face to face. Madame Wood, is there any problem?"
The sisters next to Lucinda also echoed him.
"Lucinda, he said to let Rainee come. We should let her come. She can correct him on the spot!"
"Yes, let Rainee come and see what else he has to say!"
Ludwik also opened his mouth, "Lucinda, just let Rainee come. Let's make it clear to everyone!"
Lucinda sneered and said, "Okay, I'll ask my daughter to come here and see if you have anything else to say!"
Lucinda immediately called home.
Matheo picked up.
"Matheo, quickly bring your sister to the Perry family household!" Lucinda said angrily.
Matheo was alarmed. "Mom, what are you doing!"
