Chapter 311
Aaron’s words hit Wilhelmina hard. Her smug expression turned pale instantly.
The things she whispered to Aaron were vicious. If Matthew heard them, he would undoubtedly think Aaron was justified in shoving her out of
anger,
Worse, her harsh words would completely shatter the angelic image Matthew had of her.
Grinding her teeth in frustration, Wilhelmina thought about how the Carters‘ children were all born prodigies.
Theodore and Celeste were the geniuses of their circle. Although Zayn was autistic, he was exceptionally talented and astoundingly intelligent.
Even if 7
if Zayn refused to acknowledge Aaron as his son, Aaron still carried the Carter bloodline, which was marked by extraordinary talent. “Matt, you heard what I said. I didn’t mean to speak ill of Willow. I really don’t understand why he would frame me like this!”
Wilhelmina put on an award–worthy performance. “Matt, I don’t understand how such a young child could have such a twisted mind. I’m so upset.”
“Stop pretending!” Aaron unlocked his phone and searched for the recording he had made earlier.
“Uncle Matthew, once you hear this recording, you’ll see her true colors. She’s a bad person! She wants to
hurt me and my mom! You can’t fall for her lies!”
Aaron acted quickly. He scrolled through the screen and found the recording. There was a brief silence at the beginning before Wilhelmina’s voice started.
Just as her voice was about to play, Aaron felt a sharp pain in his hand. It turned out that Matthew had kicked the phone out of Aaron’s hand.
Matthew was strong. When he kicked the phone out of Aaron’s hand, he also hit Aaron’s hand. The base. of Aaron’s right thumb throbbed painfully, and his dark eyes were filled with tears.
He stared in disbelief at Matthew, who looked like a demon. For a moment, he truly felt he would never
find his Uncle Matthew again.
He bent down to pick up his fallen phone. But before he could reach it, Matthew’s shoe came down on it,
crushing it.
“Move your foot, Matthew!” Willow didn’t want Matthew to misunderstand Aaron, so she gave Matthew at hard shove. The moment his foot moved, she quickly reached for Aaron’s phone.
But she couldn’t retract her hand because Matthew’s foot came down hard on the back of her hand.
“Uncle Matthew, what are you doing? You can’t hurt Mom!”
Children’s minds were really simple. Aaron couldn’t understand why Matthew, who always said he would protect him and Willow, would bully her over a bad woman.

With tears in his eyes, Aaron tried to push Matthew away. But his body was weak, and he had a limp. He couldn’t even overpower an ordinary four–year–old, let alone move the six–foot–two Matthew.
“Willow, I don’t know what kind of trick you’re trying to pull, but you brought today’s suffering upon yourself,” Matthew said as he looked down at Willow with hatred, anger, and disdain.
With those words, he pressed his foot down harder. Willow could almost hear the bones in her hand breaking. The pain was excruciating.
