Chapter 213
Matthew spent the day in his villa, and by the next morning, he finished sorting out the matter at the hospital. Those who knew about Lucy's rescue were silenced with money. Matthew even placed spies around their living areas to ensure that no information about his wife would be leaked.
Next on his agenda, Matthew called his butler, who promptly arrived. His butler was shocked to see his master in such a desolate state.
"Sir, what happened to you?"
Matthew shook his head with his reddened eyes. "Prepare a coffin. I'm going to bring my wife home.
"Notify everyone to attend Mrs. Leon's funeral in seven days."
The butler could not digest the information, and he was left bewildered. Lucy was fine just a few days ago. How did she suddenly pass away? Seeing Matthew's red eyes and sensing the despair and madness emanating from him, the butler wisely held back his words.
He also decided that he would inform Gabriella later.
It was not out of fear that Matthew would take his own life but rather out of concern that if Matthew really went mad, his actions would lead to a global recession.
The butler nodded respectfully and left. Less than three minutes later, he took out his phone and called Gabriella.
When Gabriella received the call, she was applying a face mask. Seeing that it was the butler calling, she picked it up without much interest.
"What do you want? Did Matt ask you to call me?" she asked lazily.
The butler respectfully replied, "Madam Leon, Mr. Leon did not ask me to call you. I decided to call you myself, so I hope you understand."
After pausing for a moment, he got straight to the point, "Madam Leon, Ms. Quinn passed away yesterday, and Mr. Leon doesn't seem to be in good condition. Would you like to come visit him?"
There was a crashing sound coming from Gabriella's end, followed by her calm voice. "I understand. I'll go over shortly. Keep an eye on him for now."
After hanging up, Gabriella stood there to calm her emotions for a couple of minutes before she felt a surge of ecstasy. She never would have imagined that the ignorant woman's death would come at such great timing.
It was a pity that they did not get divorced sooner. Now, Lucy would have to be buried as Mrs. Leon.
She really lucked out.
However, Gabriella was still much more at ease. Since Lucy was already dead, there was no point in holding grudges against the dead.
Once Lucy was buried down under, she would be out of Gabriella's sight forever, so there was no need to harbor any resentment. The most crucial thing right now was to figure out a way to introduce Matthew to other young ladies.
She would have to find someone to care for him. As for the emotional damages Matthew suffered, his mother did not give a damn.
What emotional damage? Once she found another woman for him, he would soon forget about that insignificant peasant.
With these thoughts in mind, Gabriella happily got into her car and drove to Fairview Park, where she rang Matthew's doorbell.
