Chapter 298 Stop Daydreaming
People below the stage were silent. They looked at Mathilda and Janet with a frown.
Mathilda raised her head imperceptibly and secretly gave the crowd a wink.
A rich lady that was wearing tons of jewels raised her chin and frowned at Janet. She spoke up for Mat
hilda, “Ms. Longfellow, even though you are very powerful and have the Longfellow Group’s shares, yo
u shouldn’t go so hard on your aunt. Can’t you see that she was injured?”
As soon as she finished speaking, some people echoed.
“That’s right. So pushy. She is so heartless!”
“I heard that Ms. Longfellow was often looked after by Mrs. Doherty when she was a child. Tsk, what an
ingrate!”
“I know. If the company is given to such a person, it won’t be long before it goes bankrupt.”
Seeing that someone was speaking up for her, Mathilda put on an even more pitiful expression. She lo
oked at Janet with tears in her eyes.
“Janet, don’t take me wrong. No matter what, we are blood relatives. Why would I harm you? If you don
’t trust me, I am willing to give you the company right now!”
However, she sneered inwardly. The person who spoke just now was her friend. According to her plan,
her friend was here to give Conrad a hard time. But she didn’t expect she would use her friend on Jane
t.
She didn’t believe that Janet had the cheek to take the company away right now. As long as she got thr
ough today, she would never see Janet again. Anyway, she was in charge of the company and was the
biggest shareholder. She didn’t believe that Janet could still take the company away from her!
Janet had seen Mathilda through. Her bright eyes glinted with derision. Then she clapped twice.

The crisp sounds stunned everyone present. They didn’t know what she was going to do.

Soon, a bodyguard in black walked through the crowd and respectfully handed a folder to Janet.
“Ms. Longfellow, everything’s here.”
Janet waved her hand casually. The bodyguard lowered his head and retreated to several steps behind
her.
He had taken orders from the future head of the Smedley family and came to protect Janet. He must no
t leave her side.
Janet waved the document in her hand and smiled frivolously, “Mathilda, do you know what this is?”
She took out a stack of paper from the folder. They were some court documents. They were the docum
ents Mathilda had used not long ago to get Janet’s death certificate and the right to inherit her shares o
f the company.
No, no, no!
She had clearly locked them up in the safe, and even Conrad didn’t know about it. How did Janet get th

Mathilda’s face instantly turned pale. Her mouth opened and closed, and nothing came out. Her fingern
ails dug into the ground and almost broke.
She could no longer continue with the pretense. Her face suddenly contorted, and her chest heaved he
avily. And her breathing suddenly became rapid.
She let out a short screech and rushed forward to snatch the documents away.
Janet nimbly dodged, and Mathilda ran straight into the ground because of inertia.
“Mom!”
Coral cried out and hurriedly went to help her up.
When people saw Mathilda’s look, they all gasped.
They saw that her messy hair was stained with weeds. Her face, which she had been taking very good
care of, was swollen because it had just been beaten by Conrad. Her chin was now bleeding because
of the fall.
“Mom, are you all right? Are you feeling any pain?”
Coral wanted to touch Mathilda but dared not. She gently held Mathilda’s jaw with her hands, in case M
athilda fell again. Unexpectedly, Mathilda opened her mouth and spat half of her
front tooth into Coral’s hands.
Coral’s face was distorted with anger. She shouted, “Janet, you heartless… Oh!”
Before Janet could do anything, the bodyguard behind her quickly approached Coral and
fiercely grabbed her chin, which hurt so much that she couldn’t speak
Janet smiled and said indifferently, “If she doesn’t know how to talk nicely, then shut her up.”
The bodyguard responded and swiftly dislocated Coral’s chin. This time, she finally quieted down.
Janet looked at the guy not far away and politely nodded. She asked, “Does Mr. Doherty have anything
to say?”
Conrad was standing in the sun, but he broke out in a cold sweat because of fear. When he heard Jane
t’s question, he
swallowed hard and shook his head madly.
Janet frowned and looked away in disgust. She held the documents to Mathilda and Coral, tore them in
to pieces right before their eyes, and threw the pieces at them.
“Time to stop daydreaming.”
Mathilda was on the verge of a breakdown.
“You, you…” She stared at Janet with hatred in her eyes.
As if her vocal cords had
been cut by a sharp blade, Mathilda’s voice suddenly became coarse and unpleasant to hear,
but Janet knew what she wanted to ask.
She picked up
a piece of paper that fell on her body. “These things are useless the moment I came back. Only you wo
uld think they are valuable.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the scrap in her hand fell to the ground softly.
Mathilda stared fixedly at the scraps of paper on the ground, and her breathing became heavier and he
avier.
It was over. It was all over…
She had already lost Conrad’s love, and now she was also losing the Longfellow Group. She had nothi
ng now…
The more Mathilda thought about it, the angrier she became. She held Coral’s hand tightly. She was so
angry that she rolled her eyes and fainted.
