Although the divorce certificate was not applied, but it had been six years. A normal married couple
could automatically break off their marriage if they lived apart for six years, right?
Dolores pretended to be calm, “A married couple who lived apart for two years can voluntarily break off
their marriage...”
“Which teacher taught you law?” Matthew taunted her.
Six years ago, this woman disappeared without a trace.
In life, he had already gotten used to her existence at home. But ever since she left, his villa became so
quiet. The villa lacked human warmth and it didn’t feel like home anymore. His heart, was empty too.
Elaine thought he was ridiculous.
“You’re getting engaged soon, and we still have marital relations? What’s in it for you? Don’t you know
bigamy is a big crime?”
Matthew wasn’t angry at all as he quietly stared at her.
She was as sharp-tongued as ever.
Dolores felt nervous as he kept staring at her. She trembled anxiously, “I still have work to do.”
She wanted to escape after saying that.
Matthew grabbed her arm and pulled her vigorously, causing her to fall backwards. He wrapped his
arms around her waist and embraced her tightly. They were so close together that she could feel his
warmth and heartbeat.
Dolores stared at him. She stiffened her body as she didn’t dare to move and said, “Let me go, if not I’ll
sue you!”
Matthew rubbed her wrist with his finger pulp, and led her hand towards his shirt. His eyes were
charming as he said in a hoarse voice, “Sue me of what?”
Not waiting for Dolores’s reply, he continued, “Sue me for sexually harassing you?”
“...”
Before Dolores could react, he leaned over while holding the back of her head and kissed her.
It was a familiar breath, as always.
A breath that he was fascinated with.
Dolores took a breath and she instantly blushed all over. She felt her heart beating like a storm in her
chest. She forced herself to calm down. In desperation, she opened her mouth and bit his lips.
Matthew was in pain, and he slightly loosened his lips. With that, Dolores quickly pushed him away.
Then, she turned around and ran away.
Matthew watched Dolores’s back who fled in a hurry. He raised his hand to rub the corner of his mouth
and there was blood on the back of his hand.
This woman bit him. She wasn’t like this before.
He swallowed the blood at the corner of his lips where Dolores bit.
“Matthew.” Maria stood at the door of the stairwell, trembling with anger.
Judging from her appearance, she ought to have seen what happened just now.
Matthew raised his gaze. He didn’t care about her feelings at all and said, “Our engagement is
cancelled, I won’t marry you.”
Maria got panicked. She jumped on Matthew and grabbed his arm, “Matthew, our families had already
agreed on it. Besides, this was what your father wanted...”
Matthew pushed her away aggressively. He might have used too much strength that Maria stepped
back several paces. If there wasn’t a wall behind, she would surely fall on the ground.
“Regarding my father, I’ll explain it to him.” Matthew didn’t have the thought to hold her up. He took a
step and walked away.
Maria quickly hugged his leg and cried, “Matthew, it has been so many years. Why can’t you forgive
me?”
Matthew’s eyes were fierce and firm, “You should have thought of the circumstances when you lied to
me.”
Six years ago, she told Matthew that she had a miscarriage and he thought it was true. He wanted to
take the responsibility even though he didn’t love her.
But she lied to him.
She wasn’t pregnant at all.
This was why he didn’t marry her six years ago.
This time, it was just a marriage to make connections between two families.
It was the order of his old man.
He was willing to accept this order without Dolores, but he couldn’t now!
“I was wrong, Matthew. Could you please forgive me this time? Maria didn’t care about her image and
dignity. She only wanted this man that she loved so much to come back to her.
“I can give you anything you want, except marriage.” He turned around and pulled her hands away.
“You’re the young lady of the Herbert family. There are so many men in this world, why must you
shame yourself?”
“Matthew...please...”
No matter how Maria begged, Matthew couldn’t care less and he walked away at once.
He walked out of LEO Corporation and immediately called Abbott while opening his car door. Matthew
asked him to find out where Dolores was staying at.
Abbott couldn’t react for a moment. Why did this name appear again after vanishing for so long?
“Mr. Nelson, aren’t you getting engaged soon? Why did you think of investigating her place of
residence now? She had disappeared for so long. There wasn’t any news of her at all, where am I
supposed to find her place of residence?”
“Abbott.” Matthew voice was calm, but Abbott knew something wasn’t right here.
“The capital of A Country.” He hung up the call after saying that. He had thought before that Dolores
would at A Country. He particularly checked at where she used to live, but there was no trace of her at
all.
Even the traces of her leaving the country had been deliberately erased by someone.
She said she didn’t hide?
Then, who would have done that? Why did they do that?
His mind was totally occupied with Dolores that he didn’t realise someone was in the car with him.
Samuel saw Dolores being bullied by this man and he felt extremely angry. However, he knew he
couldn’t beat him because this man was obviously too strong for him.
He wasn’t strong, but he was smart.
Hence, he took the advantage to get into the car when Matthew was making a phone call.
He pressed the window down and shouted, “Help! Save me! I’ve been kidnapped!”
Matthew’s car was driving downtown. Samuel’s shouting attracted the passers-by’s notice as they
looked at his car.
Samuel’s eyes were red, “This bad man is a human trafficker, he’s trying to sell me. Everyone please
save me! Call the police for me.”
Matthew’s face became gloomy in an instant. Since when did this kid get into his car?
And who did he say was a human trafficker?
Who was going to sell him?
“How can someone have the heart to sell such a beautiful child?”
Tears welled up in Samuel’s eyes. His grievance and fearful face caught everyone’s attention. Some of
them bravely stood in front and blocked his car, preventing Matthew from driving past.
He had no choice but to stop his car.
Samuel was rescued. He cried and said, “Thank you for saving me, or else I’ll be sold. My organs might
even be traded.”
The more Samuel said, the more frightened and sadder he became.
“Only the lowest of the low would do this to a child!” Human traffickers, no matter which country they
were at, would definitely be the target of criticism.
“He looks decent, but he’s actually a human trafficker.”
“What a waste of his charming face!”
Matthew was badly criticized and no one listened to his defence.
They were all certain that he was the bad guy.
After all, it was a delightful child who accused him.
No one would doubt a child’s words.
The police took Matthew away. Samuel was also brought to the police station to assist the
investigation.
Dolores locked herself in her office. Matthew’s sudden appearance made her calm heart flutter again.
She placed her hand under her chin, wondering if she should find a new place to stay.
She didn’t want to be disturbed.
Buzz...
Her cell phone that was on the table vibrated suddenly.
She stared at her phone for two seconds. The call did not stop, so she reached her hand to answer the
call.
“Are you Ms. Dolores Flores?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Your son was abducted by a human trafficker, and a kind man rescued him. He’s at the police station
now, please come over here to pick him up.”
