An Embarrassed Minerva
After having his men deliver a message of his visit, Matthew hurriedly went to Chain Clubhouse. Having
arrived at the premises, he saw a devilish young man—a subordinate of the crown prince—standing at
the door. The young man then led Matthew to the penthouse. At that moment, the crown prince was
fooling around with a number of women.
Seeing those women, Matthew subconsciously tensed his brows as he knew one of the women—
Minerva. After their previous encounter, the Campbells had looked for James and Helen numerous
times. Nonetheless, the family could do nothing given James and Helen had no desire to provide
assistance. Ultimately, Tate was imprisoned, putting the matter to an end.
However, as the Campbells and the Cunninghams were archenemies, Minerva didn’t spare her tongue,
badmouthing the Cunninghams whenever there were ears to vent to. With Jonah losing his job, the
Campbells couldn’t be any more miserable. And Minerva, unwilling to live a life of poverty, would often
lurk in nightclubs with her foxy makeup, aiming to seduce a wealthy man. Nonetheless, Matthew never
had expected that she would make a move on the crown prince, wondering if she indeed had ties with
the crown prince.
In fact, Minerva did not have any solid connection to the crown prince. Initially, she was oblivious to the
identity of the crown prince, but after seeing his dazzling car and his lavishness, she immediately set
her eyes on him. Consequently, she followed her friends to the clubhouse, only to find out about the
crown prince’s identity, and that motivated her even more. If she could get it on with the crown prince,
forget living an opulent life, she could even have the prince avenge her. Therefore, she would flaunt her
best side in front of the crown prince in order to gratify him.
Alas, the crown prince did not pay much attention to her, and she was disheartened by that. However,
seeing as Matthew was approaching, she started to grow jolly. She crawled by the crown prince’s leg and
stared at Matthew with her belittling eyes, as if her ego was boosted by the fact that she was able to
stand side-by-side with the crown prince.
“Oh, if it isn’t Director Larson! What is it? What business do you have with our crown prince?” Her
utterance was rather odd.
Having just noticed Matthew’s presence, the crown prince glanced at him and pursed his lips, visibly
indifferent. To him, Matthew didn’t seem to be any exceptional, which disappointed him.
Disregarding Minerva, Matthew directly walked toward the crown prince and greeted him. “Good
evening, crown prince. I’m Matthew Larson. Honored to meet you.”
The crown prince lay on the couch and slothfully stated, “Not the right attitude. Try better!”
Matthew frowned. “And how should I do that?”
Minerva angrily interjected, “Just do what you were told! Why are you talking so much?”
At once, the crown prince pushed Minerva away with a kick before picking up a bottle of wine from the
table and slamming her with it, reprimanding, “I’m talking here. Who the f*ck are you to cut in? Keep your
mouth shut!”
Dazed, Minerva didn’t anticipate the crown prince to be this erratic. She assumed he invited her over
because he was somewhat attracted to her and might even feign her some adoration. Simultaneously,
she could take the chance to get back at Matthew by riding on the crown prince’s status. Little did she
expect, the two sentences she voiced led her to such humiliation. And with Matthew condescendingly
gazing at her, her face reddened as she suffered in awkwardness.
The crown prince then stomped on her before turning to Matthew. “Since you know who I am, you should
know to kneel when you speak to me! Besides, is that the tone you should use when you’re here to beg
me for help?”
Matthew scowled. “There must be some sort of misunderstanding. I didn’t come here to beg you for
help.”
The crown prince guffawed. “You’re not here to beg for help. Then did you come to die? Hahaha! If that’s
your wish, I’ll gladly fulfill it!” As he was speaking, he suddenly grasped the corner of the table before
lifting it up and hurling it at Matthew. At the same time, he started dashing away from his spot and
charged toward Matthew.
