Chapter 388

I furrowed my brows and grabbed Heidi's arms. "Get u p first. We can talk later. There are so manypeople here. What would they think if they saw you on your knees?”

The people who passed by would stare in our direction for some time. To be honest, I was feeling alittle awkward.

However, Heidi shook her head. "President Lane, you know as well that I came to this city alone towork. I don't have any relatives or friends here. I can only ask for your help now. Benny is ahypocrite. Back then, I was bewitched by him and did those bad things to you. After he was doneusing me, he finally showed his true colors. He beats me up and scolds me every day. He’ll take itout on me whenever he has a bad day. I can't stand a life like this anymore."

"Then you should divorce him." Heidi refused to stand up, so I had no choice but to crouch down.

"He’s not going to agree.” Heidi cried miserably. "If I could divorce him, I'd have done so earlier.Why would I let myself suffer so much? President Lane, I'm begging you. Can you please help me?I'll die if I continue living together with him.”

I was overwhelmed for a moment. "How am I

supposed to help you?"

How could an outsider interfere with a family’s private matters?

Heidi wiped away the tears on her face. Crying, she said, "I have evidence of him abusing me. I canfile for divorce unilaterally, but no lawyer is willing to help m e. He’s even threatening me with myfamily. Even though he's detained now, he’ll be released soon. I don’t have a choice. Please, helpme."

Benny and Heidi had a great difference in social standing. It was just like she had said. If Bennyrefused to let her go, she would never be able to free herself from him.

Even though she was begging me for help, I did not have the power to help her get rid of Benny.

Heidi clung to my arm tightly when she saw the hesitant look on my face. Her voice was quiveringas she said, "I wanted to beg President Grant to help me. Can you please help me relay themessage? You're my only hope now. I beg you, please help me for old time’s sake."

"I told you not to give her your phone number. You shouldn't have meddled in other people’sbusiness from the very beginning." I heard a man’s cold voice behind me.

I stood up, turned my head, and saw Matthew. I smiled awkwardly. "Why did you come out?"

He ignored me and walked toward Heidi, speaking in a cold voice, "Both of you merely shared asuperiorsubordinate relationship back then. There's nothing significant about it. Do you think youshould be asking her to help you with such things?"

Heidi moved her lips. The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she did not say anything.

Matthew snorted at her. Then, he dragged me out of the hotel.

"Matthew, can you slow down?" I was wearing high heels, and I could not keep up with his pace.

I frowned when he did not slow down. "Matthew, where are you bringing me to?"

He turned around and looked at me with a gloomy expression."Do you want to help her?”

"She's in a miserable state now, but-"

"But?” Before I managed to finish my sentence, Matthew interrupted coldly. "Haven’t you realizedthat there's something wrong with Benny’s mental state? Have you thought about what you're going

to do if Benny takes revenge on you for helping her?"

He was getting a little emotional. I wanted to refute but I gave up. I replied helplessly, "Did I promiseto help her?”

Matthew sneered. "If I hadn’t come out to stop you, wouldn't you have agreed to help her?"

I pursed my lips and did not deny that.

No matter what, Heidi previously worked with me for a few years. During that time, we got alongpretty well too. When I saw her kneeling in front of me, begging and pleading, I indeed could notbring myself to reject her.

If it had not been for Matthew who came out to stop m e, I might have gotten soft-hearted andagreed to help her.
