Eddie held a higher official title. However, Jeffery was the one who wielded the actual power. He had
armies.
“Give me a second to think about it again.” Matthew hadn’t come up with a way to completely put this
matter to rest.
After all, this problem was provoked by Jeffery, and Eddie was the one who solved it. Even if Jeffery
refused to let go, this situation could not be resolved entirely.
He didn’t want to dangle the issue for too long. He wouldn’t take action if he couldn’t get it done in one
shot.
Boyce pondered for a moment, “I think it’ll be easy to overcome Eddie because we have the goods on
him. But for Jeffery…” Boyce paused for a moment before continuing, “After all, Dolores had given birth
to two children for you. She is pregnant right now, but she gets involved in the murder case—Actually,
don’t need to worry too much.
Actually, he wanted to say that he didn’t need to be merciful to Jeffery.
Jeffery was not, after all, his biological uncle.
Jolene was not his biological mother either.
Matthew kept his gaze fixed forward, with no change in his expression, as if he didn’t hear what Boyce
had said.
He did, in fact, hear it, but he didn’t show it on his face. It was not for the old times’ sake. He had made
it clear when Jeffery went to the company to look for him the last time.
However, the evidence that they had was of Eddie’s, but not Jeffery’s. Even if Jeffery refused to let go,
the situation could not be resolved.
Unless the matter of Eddie prompting a murder had something to do with Jeffery.
He narrowed his eyes… As if he was contemplating something.
Boyce was well aware that in this case, it was easy to say but challenging to do.
After all, Matthew was a human being, of flesh and blood, with thoughts and feelings. He might have to
wrestle with it since he had to fight against the person he referred to as his uncle in the past.
Furthermore, Matthew had no idea that Jeffery was not his biological uncle. He must have a lot of
struggles in his heart.
Boyce had this thought in his heart.
His and Matthew’s thoughts were not the same.
“You go meet Landon,” Matthew suddenly said.
Boyce’s eyes widened, “Have you thought of a solution?”
“Don’t divulge the real cause of Maria’s death. Sound out if Sampson’s death was a deal between him
and Eddie or Jeffery.”
He had a countermeasure in his mind. He wanted to determine Landon’s role in Sampson’s death,
regardless of who was directly related to his death.
But he guessed that Landon didn’t realize that he was just a pawn in Eddie’s game.
After all, no one was capable of harming his own children unless he had no humanity or the benefits
offered by Eddie were insurmountable. However, the Herbert family was in business, Eddie might not
be of much help either.
And how huge the benefit had to be for Landon to sacrifice two lives?
There might be many things in this case that even Jeffery was unaware of.
“Okay. Just drop me here,” Boyce said.
Matthew parked the car at the roadside, “Call me if you have any news.”
Boyce pushed the car door open, got out from the car, and said alright as he closed the car door, “You
may go. I’ll take a cab.”
Matthew drove the car away after a brief glance at him.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already late in the afternoon. He didn’t plan to go to
the company, so he drove back to the villa right away.
Sean sat on the fence by the flowerbed near the gate. He stood up when he saw the coming car.
Matthew stopped the car.
“Why are you here?” He got out of the car.
Sean said, “I have something to give you.”
While saying, he took out a USB flash disk from his pocket, “This is the entire process that was
recorded in the bar that day.”
Despite the fact that Jeffery had already been discharged from the hospital, he was in poor mental
health and needed to rest at home. Sean stole Jeffery’s computer password and downloaded all the
videos related to Dolores from the computer. He also deleted all of the original files on the computer
completely.
He wasn’t sure if the files on the computer at home were the original files or if they had been saved
somewhere else.
“Anyway, this can prove Dolores’ innocence. At least the last two fatal shots were not fired by her.
Obviously, the first shot was fired to protect herself. This is a self-defence situation.” He had watched
all the videos, so he was well-versed in the entire situation.
Matthew raised his eyes and looked at him, “You stole it?”
Sean gave the nod.
Matthew lowered his gaze, and his eyelashes moved slightly. Jeffery was in the military and wielded
actual power. Could his computer be opened with just a password?
Sean knew a little bit of computer knowledge. Checking the ID was still all right for him, but hacking into
a military person’s computer had left Matthew sceptical.
“Did you open it with only one password?” Matthew raised his eyes and asked.
Sean nodded honestly, “Yes. And it was saved on the desktop. I could see it once I turned on the
computer. I even checked the computer at home, and there were no other files. Unless there are still
files on the computer in his office.”
“What do you suspect?”
Matthew shook his head and didn’t say anything, “You may go back.”
He didn’t invite Sean to his home. He didn’t want anyone bothering Dolores at this time.
Sean didn’t enter the house just now because the person who guarded the door refused to let him in.
He must be instructed by Matthew. Sean knew that Matthew was not in a good mood these few days
because of Dolores’ affairs. So, he was tactful.
With his hands in his pockets, he walked towards the parked car on the side of the road.
Matthew called him, “I’ll wait for your father at Hibiscus Garden at eight o’clock tonight.”
Sean turned around and was a bit astonished. What did Matthew want to do to meet Jeffery now?
Matthew, on the other hand, had no intention of explaining his thoughts to him. He turned around and
walked into the gate.
Dolores missed her two kids, so she asked Victoria to bring them here today.
Victoria realized that Dolores might be pregnant during the few days when Coral sent the meal. So, the
dishes that Coral cooked were all good for a pregnant woman. Victoria specifically asked Dolores when
she came today.
Dolores didn’t hide it from her.
After all, she was not an outsider. She was the biological grandmother of the children.
After dropping them off, the driver left. So, Matthew didn’t see the car there and didn’t notice the
presence of the two children until he entered the house. One of them was lying on her stomach on the
sofa in the living room, looking at something, while the other one was staring intently at the piano
placed in front of the French window.
Matthew walked over. His daughter, Simona, was the one who was lying on the sofa. She was reading
Tang poetry, and she was so focused that she didn’t even notice the person standing behind her.
Matthew unbuttoned his suit, took it off, and put it on the back of the sofa. He bent over to Simona’s
back and looked at the book in her hands. At this moment, Simona just realized that there was
someone behind her. She saw the face which was close to her when she turned around. She hugged
Matthew with a smile and kissed him. Her drool was still hanging. She called Matthew sweetly, “Daddy.”
She seemed a little embarrassed and reached out her hands to wipe his face.
Matthew looked a bit interested and looked at the book Simona had placed on the sofa, “You start to
learn the classical Chinese poem?”
Simona was very excited, “Yes. I’m going to primary school soon. Of course, I have to learn to read
Tang poetry.”
“Oh, is it? How many poems have you learned?”
Simona was overjoyed and showed off, “I can recite this poem.”
Matthew glanced at the poem, “Goose”, that Simona had pointed out with her finger. The corner of his
eyes twitched slightly.
He stroked Simona’s hair and picked her up to sit on his legs. He lavished praise on Simona, “My
daughter is so amazing. You can even recite such a difficult poem.”
“It’s hard, isn’t it? I said it’s difficult, but my brother said I’m stupid. I think he is the stupid one.” Simona
could finally find someone who agreed with her.
Simona acted like a spoiled child in Matthew’s arms, “Daddy, you have to tell brother not to always
bully me in the future.”
Samuel was speechless.
Matthew unbuttoned his suit, took it off, and put it on the back of the sofa. He bent over to Simona’s
back and looked at the book in her hands. At this moment, Simona just realized that there was
someone behind her. She saw the face which was close to her when she turned around. She hugged
Matthew with a smile and kissed him. Her drool was still hanging. She called Matthew sweetly, “Daddy.

could finally find someone who agreed with her.
Simona acted like a spoiled child in Matthew's arms, “Daddy, you have to tell brother not to always

Samuel was speechless.
