Matthew raised his hand and looked at the time. About fourteen hours had passed since the incident,
he was quick.
He knew that Dolores could never achieve her purpose and point towards the people she cared about
the most.
He held the phone in is hands, collecting his thoughts slowly.
Not hearing Matthew’s voice, Samuel got a little worried. After all, Sampson was at home, so he
couldn’t dare to say anything to Jessica, in case she couldn’t keep it in her stomach and accidentally let
it slip at the wrong time. It was no good if Sampson found out about it.
“Should I call the police?” Samuel asked.
Matthew looked at Dolores for a moment, “Police? Why?”
Samuel was speechless.
Now that there was no evidence, that video could never be published. Anyway, there is just a small part
in the video that can’t explain much.
“Then what?” Samuel asked anxiously.
Matthew casually leaned on the table, rubbing the edge of the table with his fingers and pondered for a
bit. Then he asked, “Do you want to avenge your mommy?”
“Yes.” Samuel said without the slightest hesitation.
“Even if it puts you at risk?”
Samuel was taken aback for a bit, but he quickly understood what Matthew meant, “You asked me to
follow Sampson. By the time he catches us, we can find the evidence that he broke the law. We don’t
have to involve Mommy.”
Although Sampson was shameless, if such a thing was made public, Dolores reputation was also going
to be damaged.
Matthew look at Dolores eyes, her expressions becoming more and more abstruse. Samuel was really
sharp.
He understood his meaning so quickly.
“I dare.” Samuel said daringly, “But…”
Samuel rolled his eyes and closed his mouth again.
If Mommy knew that Matthew used them as bait, she was definitely going to be angry, right? He
thought.
“But what?” Matthew asked.
“Nothing.” Samuel decided to stay quiet.
“You have to pretend that you don’t know anything, behave just like always, don’t let him doubt you.
Keep the location open in your phone and leave the rest on me.”
“Okay.”
Samuel understood what to do.
After hanging up the phone, Matthew pressed a button on the landline phone to call Abbott to his office.
Soon Abbott knocked on the door.
Matthew told him to come in, he pushed the door open and walked towards Matthew.
Matthew said a few words to him in a low voice. After listening to Matthew’s words, Abbott glanced at
Dolores. Was she going to be upset if she found out about this?
After all her kids were at risk.
“I got it!”
“Don’t make any mistakes, you go personally.”
“Okay.”
Dolores picked up a financial magazine and flipped through it. She was not interested in reading it, but
she was bored and wanted to pass the time.
She couldn’t bother Matthew while he was dealing with Abbott.
When Abbott went out, Matthew asked, “Would you like to see if they have finished talking or not?”
He referred to Armand and Terry.
“Okay.” Dolores got up and took off the coat.
Her skirt was thin and the air conditioner was on in the office so it was dried.
Matthew raised his hand towards her shoulder, Dolores avoided him, “If you do this again, I will get
angry.”
She pulled a long face.
The current relationship was neither here nor there; it was very unclear.
If someone looked at it from outside, they wouldn’t know what was going on.
Matthew didn’t force it, he was not in a hurry, there was time.
Armand and Terry were in the reception room. It was a short walk from Matthew’s office through the
office space.
Pushing the door of the meeting room, Dolores was shocked by the view of the reception room. The
interior decoration here was completely different from Matthew’s office. The dark table and chairs made
the room feel calming. The right side of the room was opened up completely and fixed with a glass wall
making the room brightly lit. Every little piece of decoration was high class, even the cups for drinking
water looked valuable.
Dolores also probably understood that this room after all was used to receive guests, and discuss
matters with them. This room needed to represent the company well.
Seeing Dolores, Terry quickly stood up, he had been somewhat ill at ease.
Dolores motioned to him not to be nervous.
“How was the talk?” Matthew pulled up a chair to sit.
Armand ignored him and stared at Dolores holding his chin up.
He looked at her from her head to toe and then back up.
He curled his lips, “Have you always liked someone like this? Didn’t you used to like those Helen
types? Did your taste change?”
Armand knew Helen, knew her and Matthew’s past relationship and also knew that she was now the
daughter of the Herbert family. He knew that she had changed her name but he didn’t want to address
her with a different name so he still used her old name.
“The difference is a bit big.” It was obvious that Dolores and Helen were not of the same type.
Matthew remained calm and simply looked at him coldly as he talked to himself.
Armand also got bored with it quite quickly and put away his sloppy act said seriously, “You have to
help with this matter.”
If the other party was just an ordinary person, it would have been easy to do, but the other party is
someone with a background, status and prestige.
So, it was not that simple. To make an iron-clad case, help was needed.
Matthew had already figured out a countermeasure.
He leaned back in the chair, tapping his fingers gently on the table rhythmically, as if he was thinking
about something.
Armand knew he was thinking so he stopped talking. He stood up, walked up to Dolores with a smile
and introduced himself, “Let me introduce myself first. My name is Armand. I am the owner of DC Law
Firm. You can call me by my first name.”
Dolores looked at him not knowing what to say.
Terry’s mouth was opened in an ‘o’ shape.
“You are the owner of DC Law Firm?” Terry asked him after a long time. He hadn’t known that he was
from DC Law Firm and that he was the famous lawyer who had never lost a case.
He had only heard about him, but had never met him.
“I met the actual real you today.” Terry said excitedly.
I can avenge my brother this time. He thought inwardly.
“What the hell do you mean by real you? Have you ever met a fake me?” Armand called him out.
Terry waved his hands hurriedly and explained, “No, no. I meant I worship you.”
Armand stood up taller, straightening his collar which was not wrinkled at all, and said proudly, “That’s
more like it!”
Terry chuckled.
Dolores quietly moved a step back, not wanting to get involved in their conversation.
Armand’s sharp eyes caught her and he took a step to the left to stop her. “How do I address you? If
you hadn’t divorced Matthew, I would call you sister-in-law.”
Rubbing his chin with his fingers, he glanced at Matthew and said meaningfully, “Actually, I can still call
you that now…”
“Just call me Dolores.” Dolores interrupted him.
Armand smiled, “It’s not very appropriate.”
“It is completely appropriate.” Dolores answered.
She didn’t want to be called something strange.
“Then can I call you Lola?”
At this moment, the black ink pen on the table fell on the ground with a loud clatter.
That pen was Armand’s and he used it to write the details of the case as terry told him.
Armand looked at the pen blankly.
Matthew came over, his steps calm and steady. Passing by Armand, he said lightly, “I’m sorry, I
accidentally dropped your pen.”
Armand, “…”
That pen was very precious to him; it was given to him by his last girlfriend.
Matthew took Dolores hand, “We should go now.”
“Where?” Dolores said inexplicably.
“You’ll know when you get there.”
Armand stood stunned for several seconds.
Then he reacted and shouted towards Matthew’s back, “Are you a child? Why would you do such a
naïve thing?”
Matthew ignored him completely.
Lola?
Even he had never called her that! Matthew thought.
Armand mouth twitched.
In the car.
“Are we going to see Mommy?” Simona was sitting in Jessica’s lap, but she kept looking outside the
car window, curious about the scenery passing by.
Sampson, who was driving the car, turned around and comforted her, “Yes, Mommy will come there
too. I have called her.”
Samuel glanced at Sampson and snorted in his heart at him deceiving the child.
“Really?” Simona was really excited because she wanted to see Mommy.
