Chapter 340 Thrown Away Like Trash
When Matteo saw Naomi’s face–already rotting and giving off a foul stench–his brows furrowed instinctively.
“Help me! Please help me! I can’t go anywhere like this!”
Naomi’s lips were trembling.
How was she supposed to show her face in public now?
Matteo reached out and pinched her chin. He quickly spotted a faint trace of white powder on her skin.
The moment he saw it, his brows tightened even more.
But Naomi, writhing in pain and seeing that Matteo still hadn’t helped her into the car, suddenly snapped again, her voice shrill. “Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and drive me to the hospital! I’m in agony!”
Her face had become more horrifying by the second.
In the dark, it looked almost monstrous.
Staring at the white powder, Matteo suddenly realized–it was the very drug he’d given to Eliza.
So Eliza had actually used it on Naomi’s face.
His eyes darkened, an unmistakable chill rising in his expression.
Was Eliza really not afraid of death?
No wonder she’d made that cryptic comment earlier at school.
“Matteo! I’m dying here! Get me to the hospital now! If my face is ruined, who’s going to seduce Nathaniel for you?!”
Naomi’s voice echoed loudly through the alley.
But Matteo said nothing.
He stood up and turned to leave.
Naomi lunged forward, grabbing the edge of his coat in panic. “Where do you think you’re going? I told you to take me to the hospital!”
Before she could finish, Matteo shoved her aside, his expression full of disgust.
Naomi stared at him in disbelief.
She had been the one to approach him for the partnership. Matteo had promised that if she ran trouble, he would protect her.
And now? He was just going to abandon her?
“You promised to help me! You can’t go back on your word! Do you hear me?!? Naomi screamed, her voice. cracking with pain. The agony in her face and body had driven her completely mad.

But Matteo still didn’t flinch. He looked at her with cold indifference.
“A useless failure. What good are you to me now?”
His tone was ice, as if he didn’t even recognize Naomi anymore.
Panicking, she scrambled after him. “You said we were allies! You can’t just throw me away! I still know so much–if you want my help, you’ll do as I say! Ah-!”
Before she could finish, Matteo coldly flung her off..
She collapsed on the ground, stunned.
“There’s someone better than you now. You’re obsolete. Do you understand?”
When Naomi had first come to him, he’d been surprised at how much she knew. He’d thought she could be useful.
But ever since she got close to Nathaniel, she had done nothing but cause trouble.
Matteò had no interest in dragging a stupid woman down with him.
Without hesitation, he walked away.
Naomi screamed after him, enraged and desperate. “Matteo! You can’t just leave me! Matteo! Come back right now!”
But Matteo just got into his car and drove off without a glance.
Realizing he truly had abandoned her, Naomi pulled out her phone and called Christian.
Christian kept his phone on 24/7–that had been Naomi’s demand from the beginning.
“I need you to come get me. Right now!”
Christian didn’t know what was going on, but he followed her instructions immediately.
By the time he arrived, night had fully fallen.
The villa complex was nearly deserted.
He searched for a while before finding Naomi huddled in a corner.
Her face looked even worse than it had during the day. As he got closer, Christian could smell the rot.
The sight made his stomach churn.
People were visual creatures. That kind of face–it triggered a natural instinct to flee.
But Naomi grabbed his sleeve and clung to him desperately. “Why is my face like this? I only w synthetic skin for an hour! How could it rot like this?!”
Christian didn’t know either.
Theoretically, her face wasn’t strong enough to handle another application of the mask.

But even then, this level of damage was extreme. It shouldn’t have eaten away at her face like this.
There had to be another factor.
Then it hit him–he’d gotten that batch of synthetic skin from Eliza.
Could she have known this would happen?
Had she planned to ruin Naomi’s face all along?
