This time Dolores didn’t swallow the water, even though they were so intimate, she still felt a bit
embarrassed, but very soon she had let go of the feeling. She bent down and touched his lips, giving
him the water in her mouth.
Matthew opened his eyes and looked at the face that was so close to him, his eyes were filled with
tears, but the pair of eyes became clear and deep again when Dolores got up and looked at him.
He curved up the corners of his mouth and hugged her, “Sleep together with me.”
Dolores lied down and leaned in his arms, his arms were strong and put around her slim body tightly.
The rain outside the window was still heavy, as if it would only stop until it flooded the whole city.
During the late night, Dolores slowly fell asleep in Matthew’s arms.
However, Matthew didn’t feel sleepy at all, he looked outside the window, it was obscuring.
After the whole night of rain, the air of the whole city became extremely fresh, the birds were chirping
on the branches.
When Matthew woke up, Dolores was still deeply asleep, maybe it was due to the pregnancy, maybe it
was because she had slept too late yesterday. She was still sleeping deeply at the moment without any
signs of waking up.
Matthew stroked over her cheeks, he was stunned suddenly when he stroked over her lips
inadvertently, his face was darkened and even the emotion in his eyes was not as gentle as it was just
now. Dolores moved because she felt a bit itchy, his palm was warm, so she rubbed against his palm
like a kitten. Matthew’s eyes which had became colder just now, became warm again, he then bent
down and kissed on her forehead.
Dolores who was still inside the slumberland didn’t notice at all.
Matthew lifted the blanket and got out from the bed gently, he went to the washroom to wash himself
and wear his suit. He glanced at Dolores on the bed when he came out from the washroom, she was
still deeply asleep. He then saw the phone beside the pillow, she seemed to have received a message
last night.
Who had sent the message?
He walked there and took the phone, Dolores didn’t set a password on her phone, so he could open it
by just swiping. He clicked on the list of message, the first message was from Charles White.
His eyes darkened and his fingers stopped for a while, he then continued to open the message,
“Goodbye, I’ve left.”
The message was not ambiguous, the message wasn’t to confess as well, so it didn’t make him angry,
but the things that had happened last night still made him feel uncomfortable.
He swiped the phone so that it returned to the home screen, he then put the phone back to its original
position and went downstairs. Coral had finished preparing the meal, Matthew went out after grabbing
some bites, he told Coral before leaving, “Don’t wake her up, let her sleep for longer time. Prepare
something for her first, she may be hungry when she wakes up.”
Coral smiled and noted, “Yesterday, she…”
Matthew pondered for a while and said, “She misses the two children, so she had gone to visit them,
it’s okay.”
He didn’t want to talk more about this thing.
Coral laughed and said, “That’s fine.”
Coral was just worried about her health condition, some more she had gone outside last night, so she
had asked Matthew.
“I’m leaving.” Matthew took the car key and went out.
Last night when Armand and Abbott went downstairs, they didn’t see Dolores and Boyce, so they had
asked Coral, “Where are them?”
Coral said that she didn’t know, so they didn’t ask anymore, they didn’t continue to stay and they left
since there was nobody at home. There was only Coral who knew that Matthew had went out last night
and he had told her not to tell anyone.
She could only be discreet.
Walking out of the main door, Matthew took out his phone and gave Boyce a call while pressing on the
unlock button on the car key. He pulled the door open and got into the car, the call was answered, he
sat in the car and closed the door, “Have you found out the cause of death of Maria Herbert?”
“The official reason given is suicide, but I’ve found some evidence which show that it is a homicide. I’m
at the prison now to find out who is the murderer.” The lab report of the substance under Maria’s
fingernails was out already, it was the skin tissue of human body, there was also phenomenon of hair
loss, these were enough to say that it was not simply a suicide.
Maybe she had fought with someone before she died, the skin tissue under her fingernails had perhaps
gotten from the skin of the person when she scratched the person during the fighting. For the
phenomenon of hair loss, it might be due to the murderer pulling her hair.
When Matthew heard of the news about her death, he knew that there was something wrong. If she
wanted to die, she wouldn’t wait until now to commit suicide.
“Give me a call when there’s a result.” When Matthew just wanted to hang up the phone after telling
this, Boyce stopped him, “There’s really a person behind the person that you’ve let me stalk, it’s
Landon Herbert. The people stalking him had witnessed their meeting, I’ve confirmed it too, the reason
he can become a police is because of the power from the Herbert family. However, the police station in
City B is full of hidden power, the Herbert family doesn’t have enough power to boost him up.”
“I see, ask them back.”
“Okay.”
Matthew put the phone at the center console after hanging up the phone, he started the car and drove
off.
There were a lot of puddles on the ground due to the rain last night, the tires ran over the puddles
causing the water to splash onto the car’s body.
His fingers were long, well-proportioned and having obvious knuckles, while the fingernails were cut
cleanly and tidily. He was so elegant, he looked nice even when he was just holding the steering.
The car was moving fast but steady, soon it stopped at the car park below the company. He walked into
the lift which sent him directly to the office at the top floor, he walked out from the lift when the lift
stopped.
Abbott Baron held the documents in his arms, preparing to send them to Matthew’s office to let him
sign and review. Abbott saw that Matthew was here, so he walked toward Matthew, “Mr. Nelson.”
Abbott didn’t mention any word about the matter that Dolores had gone out last night because Boyce
had given him a call to let him keep secret, Boyce said that it was told by Dolores.
He didn’t dare to ask.
Matthew nodded slightly, only one button was buttoned up on his black suit, he put one of his hands in
the pocket and walked toward his office while telling him, “Send the documents that I’ve let you
investigate last time to my office.”
When they were at White City last time, he had let Abbott investigate the White Group.
Matthew knew about the White group slightly, but it was not deep enough.
Abbott didn’t dare to ask too much of the reason that Matthew wanted the documents about the White
group at this moment, he could just follow whatever Matthew told him to do.
Matthew pushed open the door of his office, Abbott put the documents in his hand on the desk, “I’ll go
take now.”
Abbott trotted and left the office to take the document.
Matthew undid one of the buttons on his sleeve using one hand, he then pulled the executive chair in
front of the desk and sat down. He opened and read the documents that Abbott had sent here, then he
signed artistically at the end after confirming that there was no problem.
Just after a while, Abbott brought the documents about the White group to the office, he then put them
on the desk.
Matthew gave Abbott the documents that he had finished reading.
Abbott picked up the documents, while Matthew took the documents about the White group without
raising his head, “Wait.”
Abbott stood in front of the desk, waiting for his command.
About half an hour later, Matthew had fully understood about the business of the White group. The
reason that the White group could settle the problems of so many people working in White City, was
because there were physical factories for the business and semiconductor sectors under them, the
area of the land was huge and the number of workers had reached more than twenty thousand. Their
business was famous and selling both domestically and overseas, the main point was that they had
their own teams to develop the intelligent locks and recycling materials, they were doing great jobs in
anti-theft system and being eco-friendly.
This was also the reason that they could continue to develop strongly.
Matthew thought of all the domestic enterprises in his mind, he finally chose two of them, “I remember
that Kenneth Tyrone’s brother in law is also doing about semiconductors?”
Abbott nodded, “Yes, it’s top in the country too.”
“Help me to ask him and Mr. Weiss out.”
“Mr. Weiss?” Abbott was puzzled momentarily, they didn’t have any business interaction with Mr. Weiss
right?
“The one who came to make financing last time.” Matthew reminded.
“Oh, isn’t that you turn your nose up at that company? It was just a door manufacturing company.”
Matthew had directly rejected during that time.
Matthew leaned back and pulled his collar, he looked a bit impatient.
“I’ll go now.” Abbott held the documents in his arms and walked away.
Abbott was afraid that he would get angry.
