“Matthew… I’m not going to give up my power. Between Aaron and me, you’re going to have to choose who to be loyal to.”

Biting her lip, Nancy got out of Matthew’s embrace.

A forlorn look appeared in Matthew’s eyes at Nancy’s ultimatum. He did like Nancy, but Aaron was going to be Nico’s future husband and his future son-in-law. Picking either side would seem like the wrong choice.

“Nancy…” Matthew looked at her. “Your grandson is not young anymore. Is it so bad to lie back and enjoy your days as the queen mother?”

Upon hearing his answer, Nancy turned away and walked straight toward the window. “Leave. From now on, we shall go our separate ways.”

Nancy had summoned Matthew to the study because she wanted him to choose between her and Aaron. Since he had picked Aaron, the two of them could only be enemies from then on. However, she was undoubtedly indignant about the outcome.

To get Matthew onto her side, she had even entrusted her body to him. Yet, in the end, he had chosen Aaron.

Regardless, there was no one Nancy could blame except herself. She was reaping what she had sown. If she had not insisted on Nico’s and Aaron’s engagement to win Matthew’s favor, perhaps Matthew would stand on her side full-heartedly. Unfortunately, she had miscalculated. Her actions had only pushed him furtherfrom her.
