458 Chapter 458: He Couldn’t Tell Him (1/2)

Matthew was struck dumb. ”W-What do you want then?” He reached out his hands, then drew them back. ”As long as you can give it to me, I'll do whatever you tell me to do.”

”Please! Give it to me.” Matthew begged.

Ethan looked at the small bottle in his hand. It was repeatedly thrown up, then fell down in his palm. Matthew's eyes looked up and down, following it.

The small bottle was the most fragile thing around this world in his eyes now. It seemed if it fell and broke on the floor, his life would be ruined.

Just a few minutes passed by, but Matthew had suffered like a century-long.

The chairman's office fell into weird silence.

Matthew could manage to tolerate it when he failed to get a magical pill. However, the magical pill was right in front of his eyes now, and he totally lost control of himself.

After a few seconds, Matthew couldn't stand it any longer. He looked at Ethan with tears in his eyes. ”What do you want?”

”The truth.” Ethan stopped throwing the small bottle.

Matthew's body shook in shock. Ethan was completely different now from the little boy before. He didn't dare admit that he was involved in the event which had happened many years ago.

He ached to get the magical pill, but he also wanted to stay alive.

”What truth? I-I don't know.” Matthew avoids meeting Ethan's eyes.

Ethan glanced around Matthew's body. He could barely stand on his feet now.

Without hesitation, Ethan opened the bottle and poured a blue pill out of it.

The tiny pill was pinched in Ethan's fingers. Once he used a little force, the magical pill would be destroyed.

Matthew started to have a fierce mental struggle.

He was in bad need of extreme pleasure now and wanted to tell Ethan everything he knew about what had happened that year.

He also knew it clearly that Ethan didn't have any proof no matter what Ethan was thinking now.

He couldn't tell him!

Ethan lost patience and opened a window with one hand. The office was on the 18th floor, and the cold wind blew inside at once.

Matthew got nervous, seeing Ethan reaching out his hand with the pill pinched in his fingers to the outside of the window.

”Three,” Ethan said a simple word.

Matthew was in torture now.

If Ethan dumped the pill into a trash can, he could pick it out without caring for his dignity, but what should he do if Ethan threw it out of the window?

When Ethan was about to say the next number, Matthew moved a step forward all of a sudden and shouted, ”It's all my fault that you were lost!”

Ethan stopped and waited.

Matthew decided to say it aloud. He would die without the magical pill anyway.

”I was stunned by the magic that year, and you were already gone when I turned around to find you a while later.” Matthew bit his lips and continued. ”I didn't dare tell father that I lost you, so I said you went outside to play yourself.”

”I thought you would go back home on your own...”

Before Matthew could finish, Ethan opened his mouth again. ”Two.”

Matthew rounded his eyes in an instant. He reached out his hands once more, trying to hold the pill, then stamped his foot.
