Matthew stayed silent as well. He only wanted to know whose pawn Rex was, who had ordered him to make a move on Curtis, and then use that to strike a deal with Curtis. That was all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had no intention of letting Rex know he was present. Otherwise, things would get messy fast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Matthew refuse to take a stance, Curtis lifted his chin, signaling his men to continue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of them picked up a stick and smashed it hard into Rex\u2019s stomach, followed by a brutal beating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rex screamed until he was hoarse, sounding utterly pathetic, yet he still refused to talk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, your little brother\u2019s got a tough mouth,\u201d Curtis said, glancing at Matthew with\u00a0<\/p>\n
amusement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat just means whoever\u2019s behind him is someone he doesn\u2019t dare offend. Otherwise, he would\u2019ve confessed already,\u201d Matthew said in a low voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis nodded and looked at his men. \u201cYou spent years as a mercenary in Darqah, and this is all you\u2019ve got? Use some of the methods you learned out there. Just don\u2019t kill him. Leave him breathing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rex couldn\u2019t see anything with the blindfold on, but his hearing was extremely sharp right now. It was obvious\u2013this was Curtis\u2019s voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rex had seen Curtis before and vaguely remembered his voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So Curtis already knows? How did Curtis find out I was the one who arranged the car crash?\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Rex didn\u2019t dare call Curtis by name. He was afraid he\u2019d be silenced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suspended there in terror, he had no idea what they were about to do to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon, screams echoed through the warehouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll talk \u2026 I\u2019ll talk\u2026\u201d Rex cried. \u201cIt was my dad! My dad told me to do it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew\u2019s expression darkened. He raised a hand and rubbed his brow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d planned to expose the mastermind behind it all, but instead, he\u2019d dragged his own father into it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, your dad.\u201d Curtis looked at Matthew and let out a cold laugh. \u201cThe Langfords really are\u2026 birds of a feather.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t lump everyone together. At least I knew nothing about this,\u201d Matthew said through clenched teeth, lowering his voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat, so you want to use my hand to get rid of your brother, and then to get rid of your dad?\u201d Curtis mocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew was angry. His original plan had been to work with Curtis to eliminate the person behind Rex and take Rex out along the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hadn\u2019t expected Rex\u2019s backer to be Raymond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dad can\u2019t be the mastermind\u2026 someone must\u2019ve pushed him into this. He handed it off to that idiot, Rex,\u201d Matthew said in a low voice as he and Curtis walked out of the warehouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t truly join forces with Curtis to take out his own biological father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour dad is the type who would destroy his wife for his lover\u2019s sake. Not only that, he dragged all those illegitimate sons into Langford Group, playing some twisted survival game. Langford Group should\u2019ve been yours, but now you\u2019re forced to split the profits with these low\u2013class idiots. Don\u2019t you feel humiliated?\u201d Curtis deliberately stirred the pot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So what if Raymond is his biological father?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew frowned and shot Curtis a warning look. \u201cI know my father. He has no grudge against you. Langford Group isn\u2019t afraid of you making a comeback. He has no reason to kill you. Don\u2019t start thinking about murder.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew was starting to panic. Curtis was the type who could really lose control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Curtis truly went mad, Matthew wasn\u2019t sure he could protect Raymond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHeh. If he doesn\u2019t die, your family assets will eventually all end up in the hands of illegitimate sons,\u201d Curtis said, cigarette between his lips, waving his hand. \u201cThink it through.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew\u2019s face sank. He didn\u2019t respond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I\u2019ll leave your brother to you, Matthew. Don\u2019t kill him. I\u2019m heading home to sleep with my wife. Bye,\u201d Curtis deliberately called out loudly at the warehouse entrance before getting into the car and driving away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew stood there in shock, his chest tight and his breathing uneven.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rex now knew Matthew had been involved in the kidnapping. There was no way he\u2019d let it go. He\u2019d definitely go home and complain to Raymond. When that happened, Matthew\u2019s position would become extremely difficult, and Raymond and Rex would automatically push him into Curtis\u2019s camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Which meant Matthew would be forced to cooperate with Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew ground his teeth, wishing he could chop Curtis into pieces. He kicked the car door hard, then wanted to slap himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why did I have to meddle in this mess? I thought I could use Curtis, but in the end, Curtis used me instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the warehouse, Curtis\u2019s men had already left, driving away one by one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rex was left hanging there in misery, struggling in terror. \u201cMatthew? Matthew\u2026 are you there?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rex knew Matthew was there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was no way to hide it now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew walked over with a dark expression, tore off Rex\u2019s blindfold, and slapped him hard across the face. \u201cYou idiot! Who told you to touch Curtis? You thought getting kicked out of Lincoln Group turned him into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered? Idiot!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rex and Raymond were courting death.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cM\u2013Mathew, let me down\u2026\u201d Rex pleaded in fear. Matthew had always wanted him gone. It was late, and the place was dark. He was afraid that Matthew would take the chance to kill him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
