“What nonsense are you talking about?” Sampson didn’t want to be picked apart like that.
Even though she was right.
“Okay, go on ahead and treat me as nonsense.” Maria didn’t want to argue with him either. This was
not the time to argue about this anyway.
The needed to urgently think about how to handle the current situation. Jessica had escaped and
Dolores was bound to find out soon.
“Where did Jessica escaped?” Maria asked.
“The river right outside the village.”
That place was very close to here. If she provided any clues, Dolores would be able to find this place
very soon. Maria was afraid this place was not safe for them anymore.
They couldn’t hide Samuel here.
“We need to leave and find another place to hide Samuel.” Maria squinted, “The far we can go the
better, somewhere Dolores can’t find us ever.”
Samuel was her son. If she found out that her son was lost or dead, she would go completely crazy.
“Our plan was just to kidnap him and to blackmail her until she marries me, then release him…”
“And then?” Maria interrupted him, “Will she sincerely marry you? Stop dreaming! You can only keep
her by your side if you hold Samuel in your hands forever.’
There was no going back from here.
Sampson put Samuel, who was still unconscious, in the back seat again.
“Let’s leave here and find another place.” Maria got into her car. Just as she was about to start the car,
she noticed a black cross-country approaching. The black shiny paint was wrapped with strong iron
sheets, making intrepid lines. This was Matthew’s car; she had seen it before.
Her expressions changed immediately as she shouted to Sampson, “Hurry up!”
But it was too late. Matthew stepped down on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel, drifting
about sixty degrees through the mud and the potholes. He stopped the car neatly at the doorway,
blocking it.
Sampson’s car could not get out.
Dolores got out of the car quickly and ran to Sampson to find her son.
Recovering from the sudden shock, Sampson turned around and quickly took Samuel into his arms.
Dolores was a step late in reaching him.
“Give me back my child!” Dolores went to open the driving seat door. Sampson locked the door.
Dolores couldn’t open it; she could just look at her son through the tinted glass. She couldn’t tell if he
was injured, his face seemed to be swollen.
She slapped on the window pane frantically, shaking the glass, “Sampson, get out and give me
Samuel.”
Sampson did not dare to face her; he turned his face away from the window.
“Sampson, get out. We can talk about this, just give me back my child, okay?” Dolores pleaded.
“Okay, if you want your son, then…” Maria walked over to Dolores, “You Bow to me and I will ask
Sampson to give you back your son, okay?”
Dolores was trembling all over.
“I forgot to tell you, your son was not very obedient, he tried to pull a few tricks…”
Smack!
Before she could finish speaking, Dolores slapped her hard.
The beautiful face that Maria had spent a lot of time applying makeup to was transformed in a second
by Dolores into a mess.
Her false eyelashes were curled up, her hair was messed up and a lot of powder fell off her face.
Her beautiful look turned into a nightmare.
“How dare you hit me?” Maria glared at her, unable to comprehend what just happened.
Dolores was shaking with anger, her palms itching to strangle Maria to death.
Since entering the Herbert family, Maria has had a sense of superiority. She could not stand being
slapped in the face.
She raised her hand to fight back.
However, as soon as she raised her hand, it was caught from behind.
She looked up and saw Matthew standing beside her. The sun was behind him, so the outline of his
face shone brightly, with his face covered in shadows.
He threw her off.
She hurriedly took a few steps backwards to regain her balance.
She raised a trembling hand to feel her left cheek. The pain of being shaken off ruthlessly by Matthew
was greater than that of getting slapped.
This was the man she loved deeply.
The man she wanted by using any means possible.
He was only cold and ruthless to her now.
“Matthew…”
Matthew didn’t even spare her a glance.
He reached out to hold Dolores who was shaking with anger.
Dolores looked like she would fall on the ground any moment.
She looked at Sampson in the car and begged, “Give Samuel to me, please, I beg you. you know how
important he is to me. You also watched him grow up, how can you hurt him?”
Her heart ached.
It ached a lot.
Just like Randolph betrayed Jessica, and sent them mother and daughter away.
She had always thought of Sampson as a family member.
Even when he tried to do that kind of thing to her, she still thought that he had been momentarily
impulsive.
He was not a bad person.
Today, she realized that she might have been wrong.
She didn’t understand him, she didn’t know what was in his heart.
“Let me go first.” Sampson didn’t let go, now he could only take Samuel away first and then discuss the
rest.
But Maria couldn’t wait, she couldn’t see Matthew and Dolores together.
Especially the way Matthew was holding Dolores tenderly.
She once had this tenderness.
It was snatched away from her by Dolores!
“If you want to save your son, you have to marry my brother.” Maria smiled sinisterly, looking horrible,
“The only thing you can do right now is to get in the bridal room and finish what was not done the last
time.”
Matthew’s expressions darkened, “Do you want to die?”
“Yeah, I am tired of living ever since you broke our engagement. Everyone in City B knows that I am a
discarded woman. I have lived enough! She looked at Matthew like a crazy person, “You are too cruel!”
Her gaze turned to Dolores, “Don’t be too happy thinking he will like you. If he can abandon me, he can
also abandon you!”
“He is heartless, cruel to his core. I lived with him for so many years…” She began to cry.
She cried very loudly.
While they were confronting each other, suddenly there was a loud bang. The passenger seat door of
Sampson’s car was removed violently.
Samuel was snatched from Sampson’s arms before he could react.
Everything happened in a moment.
While no one was paying attention, someone sneaked in and violently removed the car door.
“Samuel.”
Dolores ran over quickly, seeing the blood on his face she almost fainted. She hesitated for a moment
and then ran over to him.
“Samuel, Samuel.” She reached out to touch his hair, his cheeks. She held his head upwards, “Look at
Mommy, Samuel.”
Boyce personally came to handle the situation, so naturally he succeeded very easily.
He, Armand and Matthew were roommates from there days in university.
They were also Matthew’s only two friends.
Now they all had their own career.
Their careers were going smoothly. Armand was a well-known lawyer, Boyce Shawn had also become
the Chief of Criminal Police.
The only thing that wasn’t going smoothly was their love lives.
Armand was a playboy, he had quite a few ex-girlfriends, an Boyce had never dated in his life.
Boyce walked towards Matthew, “Leave him to me, you take her back first.”
Abbott had explained the situation very clearly to him.
He had also told him exactly what to do and made all the arrangements.
Now was the time to deal with the aftermath.
“I’ll leave it up to you then.” Matthew patted his shoulder.
“Don’t worry, everything is arranged!” Boyce said.
Matthew walked over to Dolores, trying to hold Samuel for her. She avoided him, “No.”
When she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was trembling.
She didn’t need someone else to hold her son for her.
She could hold him herself.
“I will take you to the hospital.”
