Chapter 250
Betty and Marcus eventually stopped at a quiet coffee shop a few streets away from Matrix Enterprises. They took a table inin the corner, away from the other customers, and ordered two drinks.
The moment Betty’s coffee arrived, she picked up the cup and gulped it down without hesitation. Marcus watched her silently. Even after several mmutes, it was obvious that she was still shaken by the people she had seen at Matrix Enterprises.
When her breathing finally steadied, Marcus leaned forward.
“Betty, what’s wrong? And how do you know Mr. Matrix p>
Betty lowered her gaze. She sniffled, and a prickling of tears appeared in her eyes.
“That fucker!” she muttered bitterly. “They’re demons. They shouldn’t even be alive. They ruined my life, and they led my boyfriend to his death p>
Marcus frowned deeply.
He leaned closer. “Uh… what did they really do? Tell me more p>
Betty wiped the corner of her eye and took a shaky breath.
“Actually, we all went to the same school. Me, Matrix, Cory, and my boyfriend, Aaron. We were even in the same class p>
Marcus listened carefully.
“Aaron was a very rich heir. His family was incredibly wealthy, and everyone at school knew who he was. But despite all that money, he wasn’t arrogant. He was charming, kind, and always willing to help people. Almost everyone loved him p>
A faint, painful smile crossed Betty’s face.
“He was the kind of person who could walk into a room and instantly make everyone feel comfortable. Teachers liked him. Students admired him. And I…” She paused, her voice trembling. “I loved him more than anything p>
Marcus remained silent, allowing her to continue.
“But Matrix, Cory, and his goons were different,” Betty continued. “They were bullies. They disturbed the peace of the entire class and acted as if the school belonged to them. Their families were rich too, but they weren’t nearly as wealthy as Aaron’s family p>
She sniffled and wiped her tears.”They wanted everyone to respect them because of their families and money, but the school never treated them specially. Instead, Aaron was the one everyone admired. That made them hate him p>
“Since they couldn’t bring Aaron down directly, they targeted me because I was his girlfriend. They bullied me constantly. They would insult me, embarrass me, and sometimes even corner me when Aaron wasn’t around p>
Marcus’s expression hardened.

“Aaron would sometimes step in and warn them to stay away from me. He even confronted them several times, but they never stopped p>
She paused, staring at the table. “But that wasn’t even the real problem p>
“Aaron and I used to study together. Because he trusted me, he sometimes allowed me to use his personal laptop. Whenever we had assignment, That day, I didn’t know how they figure out his laptop was with me, They came to my home that day, and beat me to pulp, I nearly died. Then, they Stole the laptop”
“One of them had family connections to a company that was competing with Aaron’s family’s business. They somehow gained access to confidential files on Aaron’s laptop. There were merger documents, patent information, and other sensitive company files. Overnight, everything collapsed. Aaron’s family’s company stock crashed. Millions were wiped out, and the company immediately launched an investigation to find whoever had leaked the information p>
She started crying so deadly,
“And they made sure every piece of evidence pointed toward me. They made it look like I had stolen the files and sold them. They even created evidence showing that I had accessed the documents. The police believed it me. and I was put under investigation. But Aaron didn’t believe it. He knew me. He knew I would never betray him p>
She took another shaky breath.
“He tried to prove my innocence himself. He discovered that something wasn’t right and eventually found out that Matrix and Cory were involved. He confronted them at one of his family’s construction sites, he told me that day, that he would make them confessed. But…but the next day, Aaron was found dead, on the ground of the building. Apparently, He committed suicide and fell down there p>
With that, everyone believed Aaron had been overwhelmed by everything that had happened and had eventually taken his own life. Once again, all the blame was placed on Betty. No matter how much she insisted that Matrix and Cory had something to do with his death, nobody believed her.
Eventually, Betty only managed to escape the situation because Aaron’s mother pardoned her. She had already lost her son and apparently didn’t have the strength to Night another legal battle.
“After that, I just disappeared,” Betty said through her tears. “I moved on with my life, or at least I tried to. I wanted to forget everything. Aaron, the school, the accusations, everything that happened p>
She covered her face with both hands.
“But those two fuckers…” Her voice trembled with anger. “Those two fuckers saw me today, looked straight into my face, and laughed as if nothing had ever happened p>
A bitter laugh escaped her lips as tears continued rolling down her cheeks.
“How could they do that? After everything they did, they can still stand there and laugh at me like nothing happened”
Marcus listened to everything in silence, his face hardening with every word. He couldn’t understand how someone could commit such wicked acts and still be so cocky, especially when Betty was clearly still suffering from the trauma.
He sighed and pulled out a handkerchief, offering it to her.

“I’m sorry, Betty,” he said gently. “You don’t have to worry about them anymore. Let’s just forget about this for now and return to Langstone Company p>
Betty sniffled and wiped her tears.
“But I can’t,” she said.
Marcus frowned. “Why p>
“The executives at Langstone specifically demanded that I meet with Matrix today and finalize the deal p>
