Dolores froze for a moment before she realized who he was talking about.
Did he mean that Matthew was the one who caused this mess?
How could Matthew be so immature?
"Don't you even want to say something?" Charles actually looked at her with some expectation. Even if
he suffered, it didn't matter to him. If she could show her concern for him, it would be worthwhile for him
to suffer.
At the same time, he laughed bitterly in his heart. How could he be so absurd?
Could he be crazy? Or could it be that he was a masochist? Did he do this so that she could show her
concern for him?
"Did you get it wrong?" Dolores didn't admit what he said at once.
Charles was speechless.
Was she playing dumb? Or was she reluctant to admit that her husband was narrow-minded?
"That's impossible. I haven't offended anyone but him. None of my rivals in the business world would
dare to attack me recklessly. If they had such intentions, they would have taken action against me
already. And they won't wait until now to do it to me. It seemed that they had scheduled to take action
at the same time. If there is no one to back them up and make plans, then I definitely don't believe it."
Charles didn't investigate the matter, for he was caught off guard by the blow, so he simply did not have
time to check it out. But he could be sure that the mastermind behind it was Matthew.
"Do you know that if those people who followed me were not so loyal, then they would have been
poached long ago with high prices? And if that were the case, then I'm afraid the White Group would
have gone bankrupt long ago."
"I personally care a lot about you." After hearing Charles' words, Dolores felt speechless, because she
really didn't expect Matthew to do that to Charles.
If there was a conflict between the two of them, there didn't seem to be too much conflict of interest
between them.
Besides, Charles went back to White City early and rarely showed up in City B easily. And Dolores
couldn't quite figure out why Matthew was so cruel to Charles.
In all conscience, Matthew had gone a little too far this time.
"Hmm?" Charles arched his eyebrows. What did she mean by that?
Dolores didn't look at him. Instead, she just casually looked at the shadows of the trees on the roadside
that were cast onto the ground by the streetlights, "As the saying goes, a woman shares the fate of the
man she married. Since I married him, no matter what he has done, I must support him because it is
my duty as his wife."
As she disapproved of what Matthew did, she felt very sorry for Charles. However, she couldn't criticize
Matthew for what he had done. Firstly, it was because he was her husband. Secondly, this was the
most important reason, which was that she knew very well how Charles felt about her. So all she had to
do was defend her husband and dismiss Charles's thoughts. If she showed her sympathy and apology
for him, then she would be misleading him.
Charles moved his lips and then let out a laugh, "You do sound like you support your husband no
matter what he did. Although this phrase sounds very cheesy, it sounds exceptionally moving. If he
hears this, then I am afraid that even if he is asleep, then he will wake up from his dream laughing."
After laughing, he lowered his voice, "You really are a couple. Even if you hurt me, you will brutally
attack me. And you're just as ruthless as he is."
Dolores pretended not to understand, "It's getting late. I should go back home. My kids told me to wait
for me to get back, so I can't stay for long."
"I'll give you a ride home." Charles was afraid Dolores would refuse his offer, so he said, "Because it's
so late, I am worried about you going home alone. After all, I'm the one who asked you to stay. If
something were to happen to you because of me, it would be my fault."
Since he had told her so, Dolores couldn't refuse him. Then Charles called Tom and asked him to come
over. And Tom was in the neighborhood, so he quickly drove there. Because Charles's car had been
specially modified with a ramp near the car door, Tom alone could also easily push him into the car.
There was an empty spot in the car for the wheelchair with a seat beside it.
As they sat in the car, Charles asked, "Where do you live?"
Dolores told him the name of the neighborhood where she lived, and Tom started driving. The two of
them didn't talk the whole way, so the car became very quiet. And Charles didn't talk because he was
upset. Even though he was tough enough, he was upset by what Dolores had just said.
He was mad at him. He got angry at his weakness. And he couldn't control his emotions when he faced
up his feelings for her.
This must be a problem that had been around people since ancient times. Otherwise, the ancient poets
could not write those moving and long lines.
He remembered that he had seen an untitled poem that particularly expressed his feelings at this
moment, ‘My love is oceans and mountains away, a distance impossible to shorten. My thoughts of my
beloved are as far apart as heaven and earth, but I am only mortal.’
After about thirty minutes, the car stopped in front of the neighborhood.
Charles sighed and collected his thoughts. Then he looked at her and said gently, "It's very late. Just
go home and get some rest."
Dolores didn't get out of the car right away, but she told Tom, " Can you please give us some space? I'd
like to speak to Mr. White alone."
Tom looked back at Charles. And when he saw Charles nod at him, he parked the car, pushed the door
open, and got out.
Both of them were soon left alone in the car.
Dolores thought for a moment. She looked at him with a very calm look, "I'm having some problems
with him. And those are serious problems too..."
"Is that why you showed up here?" Charles was surprised that she would be so candid to him, for he
had always felt that Dolores was so calm that she didn't seem to be a woman.
However, she was willing to open up to him at the moment, which made him ecstatic.
"Yes."
He couldn't wait to ask her what he had in mind, "So do I have a chance?"
"No." Dolores said almost cruelly, "I'm telling you this was because when I decided to leave him for a
while, I realized how much I love him. Therefore, I won't fall in love with anyone else but him."
How happy Charles was a moment ago, and then how defeated and embarrassed he was at that
moment.
Dolores pushed open the car door and got out. She stood in front of the car door and looked at
Charles, "You're no longer young, so you'd better find a partner as soon as possible. Don't wait until
you're so old that no woman wants you, and you'll end up alone. You have wasted a lot of time before.
And I'm looking forward to receiving your wedding invitation."
Charles laughed bitterly, "You are really heartless to me. Aren't you afraid I'll die from your harsh
words?"
"No, you won't. Because you have not yet avenged your adoptive father, how can you die easily? You
will live well." Dolores waved her hand at him. Then she finally told him to be safe on the road and
closed the car door. She stepped into the light reflecting on the ground and walked toward the
neighborhood.
Charles squinted as he looked at her back through the window. He couldn't help but curl his lips and
smile bitterly.
Didn't he love her for being frank and straightforward?
She was decisive and knew exactly what she was thinking. Moreover, she never did things sloppily.
And she had a clearer mind than most men.
He wanted to hate her, but he couldn't.
He rolled down the window and shouted at her, "I'll get married."
Her attitude today let him know that he really had no chance or hope, so all he could do was to bury her
secretly in his heart.
Therefore, he could only miss her secretly.
If he couldn't be with her, then it didn't matter who he would be with.
Dolores heard his words, but she didn't turn around. She just raised her hand and waved it to tell him
she heard what he just said.
Charles summoned Tom. He didn't want to go back to his place and said to Tom, "Let's go to City B."
Tom was a little confused. He wondered why Charles had suddenly decided to go to City B. What had
Dolores said to him? Was he still irritated by something?
"Now?"
Charles said softly, "Mmm."
"But our cooperation with Mr. Powell has not been settled yet. If we leave here now..."
"So you are not listening to my order now?" Charles interrupted Tom with great displeasure.
He was in a bad mood now, so he didn't want to listen to nonsense at this time. And he wanted to stay
quiet for a while.
Tom shut up and quietly started to drive. Then he followed Charles' orders.
It was morning when they arrived at City B.
It was not meant to be an ordinary day. And Charles did not expect to hear such big news when he
arrived at City B.
