"Matthew!" Ludwik raised his voice, "I can't believe that my son would just say that! In the past, you would never do anything to harm a pregnant woman, even if a gun was pointed at you!"
Matthew's voice was hoarse. "You're right, Father. If it was in the past, even if she pointed a gun at me, I would never hurt a pregnant woman. But do you know what Rainee did to Selina? You have no right to stop if you don't understand."
"Matthew, calm down," Ludwik tried to pacify him.
"I've tried being calm, that's why I never touched Rainee even after she hurt Selina again and again. I even let her go when she framed Selina. Father, this time, Rainee must pay for her actions, otherwise, she might do something again to hurt Selina. I can't risk it!" Matthew declared.
He hung up the phone right after that statement.
He even switched off the phone.
Meanwhile, they had arrived at the Whitlock family home.
The bodyguards carried Rainee into the Whitlock family's manor.
She was crying and pleading with Matthew along the way.
Matthew was pained when he looked at Rainee's protruding belly.
However, he hardened his heart.
He had promised Selina that he would bring Rainee to her, he could not go back on his word.
In the Whitlock family's manor, Rainee knelt down before Selina.
She thought that no matter how wrong her action was, she would never face any repercussions.
After all, her brother, Matheo was good friends with Matthew.
She knew that Matthew valued his brotherhood with Matheo.
That was why she'd dared to say that she was pregnant with Matthew's child.
All because she knew that Matthew wouldn't act against her.
However, this time, even Matheo couldn't protect her.
When Matthew had forcefully taken her away in front of Matheo, she knew that everything was over.
This was the first time she had experienced this kind of fear.
A bone-chilling fear.
Her eyes were filled with tears. "Selina, please let me off, I'm begging you, please, I won't do it again." she pleaded with Selina.
Selina only felt a sense of sardonicism at her words.
Let her go?
How could Rainee still be so shameless?
She couldn't even remember how many times she had let Rainee go.
It was Rainee who kept provoking her!
Before that incident, when Rainee had come to the Perry family home to provoke her, all she did was avoid and ignore her.
When Rainee followed her, she'd even ran to a mall just to lose her.
She had never thought about hurting Rainee.
It was Rainee who had been relentless.
She'd even provoked the bystanders to attack her.
She had already done this many times.
Selina's gaze pierced through Rainee. "Let you off? Why should I even let you off?"
Rainee pointed at her own stomach, "My baby is almost due. Selina, please let me go for the sake of my child," she begged.
The corners of Selina's lips curled up into a sneer.
"Rainee, do you remember what I said to you that day? I said that I wouldn't argue with you for the sake of your child, I even hid from you when you refused to leave. It was you who aggravated me and disregarded my forbearance," Selina snarled.
"Selina, I was wrong, I know that it was all my fault," Rainee begged.
Selina suddenly crouched down to eye-level with Rainee.
She grabbed Rainee's chin. "Rainee, you are only begging me now just to save yourself! You've never regret any of your wrongdoings, you're just that stubborn," Selina stated.
When Rainee saw Selina's cold gaze, she felt a chill go down her spine.
