Chapter 131 - Argument at Dinner (3)

6 January, Yao Family Villa, City K

Matthew stared at Lexi and could not believe her attitude. Did she not hear a thing? Her behaviour was getting out of control and he was well aware that if he remained it would get worse, damaging the business meetings Andrew and Chester had with their guest. In that moment he decided that he would return to his Villa as a means for a few hours to diffuse the situation.

"Fine Lexi, I am going, after I have a brief discussion with Dominic. He will have the option to stay here tonight or come home. You on the other hand will have the simple choice between returning to the villa or our on-base accommodations. Your guards will be instructed where to take you if you do not make a choice now. If you try to cause any more issues tonight, even that choice will be removed and you will be taken to our on-base accommodations. You then can complain about me restricting your movements."

Without waiting for any further arguments from Lexi, Matthew turned and walked out of Lexi's old suite, knowing the beautiful memories of the early stages of their relationship had just been destroyed, and found Dominic waiting outside the room for them to come out.

Bending down he quietly said "Dominic, I know you want your Mummy and I to resolve matters, but at the moment she is angry with me that she will not listen to anything, let alone letting me apologise to her for what happened. I promise you that I will try again another time but at the moment your Uncles Andrew, Chester and Phillip need her to help them out tonight. If I stay that will be impossible, so I am going home. You can stay here tonight, wait until your mummy comes home or go with me now."

Dominic simply said "I want to go home with you daddy Matthew now, rather than waiting for mummy to go home.later. She sounds really mad with you, and I think she will be with me because I told her before that I want you to be my daddy."

"That is alright. I will go and tell your uncles what is happening, but you need to telly your mummy before coming downstairs and waiting for me."

Dominic, while offering Matthew his hand nodded and said, "I can daddy Matthew." As Dominic entered Lexi's room, Matthew headed back downstairs and opened the lounge door pausing on the threshold before entering the room. As he entered the room, he spotted the two strangers and tensed up even further.

Having spotted him, Andrew said "Matthew come in."

As he moved in, he nodded towards Chester and Phillip who were sitting together quietly leaning into each other, and said "Chester, Andrew, Phillip, I was hoping to stay, but Lexi is not getting what the situation is, and as you can guess she is extremity angry with me. It is for the best that I leave now. Dominic has said he will return home now, and his telling Lexi."

Observing the looks of his brother and brother-in-laws Matthew continued "Phillip, maybe she will end up taking reality better if it comes from you. You cam confirm the reality of our situation with your friend President Dong, and then maybe she will stop trying to argue against the law of the land. But the three of you need to clearly understand something. My superiors have have it clear that she has two options as to where she will live. My Villa or my on-base accommodations I tried to get your Villa Phillip or here included in that list but currently they have refused. They will only allow her a certain time to make a choice or they will take it away from her."

"Tonight, I have already messaged two of my junior officers who will be here soon and at the end of the night will accompany her to either place." Observing their looks Matthew added "If you need confirmation of the situation speak to John as he knows most things, and he has confirmed to Lexi that the police cannot interfere in the situation. But be reassured I prevent her running her business or spending time with you, as long as she abides by the rules I have told her, including having guards accompanying her."

Phillip, spoke up "And you do not need to threaten us about trying to help her go outside the boundaries that have been established for her. We will not interfere but all bets are off if you physically hurt her. The emotional matters we cannot deal with presently as we all know how much Lexi currently hates you."

Matthew nodded and said "Phillip, I know, but she has to understand the situation and she refuses to do so currently." Matthew paused and turned to Anna and Hou Yi and said "I have to apologise for interrupting your greeting everyone CEO and Madam Hou. I had planned to stay but things have changed."

With that Matthew Rong turned and left the room. Dominic was waiting outside and taking Matthew's hand he headed outside and climbed into the military vehicle that Matthew arrived in earlier, before he started it up and headed out of the Villa grounds and back to his villa.

Matthew knew, that despite the options he set out to Andrew, Chester and Phillip, given Dominic had opted to come home with him tonight Lexi would return to his villa. He quickly dialed the guards assigned to Lexi and advised them of the situation to ensure that they quickly arrived at the Yao family villa to protect her.

Lexi, however was still sitting in her suite in the family villa. How dare Matthew talk to her like that. He had no right to do so, and she was going to have this out with him. The reality was he had to accept, despite all his statements to the contrary that his actions had consequences. He had hurt her again and again, and this forced marriage was the worst of everything he had done to her. That, as she would argue with him would mean that he needed to agree to an immediate divorce.

She knew that she needed it, as the longer she and Dominic were in his villa the more the risk was that Dominic's parentage would be determined, and given what Richard had done with his will, that would ensure that Andrew and Chester lost control of Jax Corp, and ruin Dominic's potential for a future in the family company.
