Chapter 238 So, I’ve Misunderstood Matthew

Cory Island was an obscure island where a hellish training took place. The people who went there would have a taste of what it felt like to be in hell, but they would return as whole new people after the arduous drill.

In fact, Thomas was one of the candidates who had successfully completed the inhumane training, and he would never want to go back there. Once was enough.

However, his mistake was beyond recall as Matthew insisted on sending him there. “Ask your brother, Troy, to take over your position.”

Thomas swallowed back his pleading words and gave in in the end. “Understood.”

“Leave.” The man ordered icily.

The corner of Thomas’ lips twitched as he left the office instantly. Once he exited the building, he gave Veronica a call at the entrance, but no one picked up the phone no matter how many times he called.

His heart sank, and he slapped himself a few times in despair. “F*ck! You dumb sh*t!”

The brisk sound of slapping attracted the bypassing workers, who knew him well.

“M-Mr. Ritter, are you alright?”

“Mr. Ritter, are you okay? Do you want us to call the hospital?”

“Mr. Ritter, is everything fine?”

“There are no mosquitoes, though. Why did you slap yourself?”
