“Why do you come here now?” asked Armand.
As he walked over, Matthew and Armand saw him.
Abbott answered, “I have something to tell Mr. Nelson. Why are you here now?”
Armand answered jokingly, “I have something to tell your boss.”
Abbott sat down next to him, “What’s the matter? May I know it?”
“Don’t be so nosy.” Armand had finished the matter. He came here for Dolores, asking her how
Theresa was doing recently.
He couldn’t make his grandmother agree, and nor did he have the guts to face Theresa. Hence, he
could only know her stats from someone else.
Abbott wasn’t in the mood to mind others’ businesses. He was in a mess anyway.
“What about your matter?” Armand didn’t want to go home. As soon as he went home, Elizabeth would
nag about giving up Theresa. She suggested compensating Theresa financially. She would keep
nagging at him countlessly that Armand must have children, or she would feel too grace to meet the
ancestors after she passed away.
Armand was quite tired of it and didn’t want to listen to her. Hence, he didn’t want to go home.
He’d rather listen to others’ gossip and delight himself.
Probably others were also bothered.
Boyce knew what Abbott was doing now, so Abbott didn’t mind letting Armand know. He directly told
them about Emma’s plan.
“Emma Bailey? When did you hook up with her?” Armand looked at Abbott in disbelief.
Abbott glanced at him, frowning slightly, “Hook up? That sounds awful.”
“Then tell me how did you get together so suddenly?” Armand wondered what he had missed.
What happened when he wasn’t in town?
He was shocked about Abbott and Emma.
Abbott choked up for a moment. Anyway, he disliked those words, “I don’t want to explain.”
He got back to the point, “Emma Bailey isn’t crazy. She’s just reluctant, so she wants to take revenge.
What should we do?”
It would be impossible to make her completely disappear. They were not afraid of the obvious tricks
from the enemies but afraid of the unknown ones. With a woman who always wanted to make trouble
around them, it was quite creepy indeed. Probably she would show up unexpectedly and stab on them
all of a sudden.
That was just a disgusting feeling.
Besides, Dolores had some health issues now. Emma was just like a bomb that could explode at any
time. They must resolve this problem completely.
Matthew thought for a moment. He didn’t tell them what he was thinking exactly. Instead, he said,
“Tomorrow I’ll go to Grand Hyatt Hotel. Tell her you’ve succeeded and then lure her into the room.”
To completely get rid of her, he must do something ruthless and put her in jail so that she wouldn’t be
able to harm others.
Abbott asked gingerly, “What’s your plan?”
He had been working for Matthew for a long time, so he knew that Matthew wasn’t a merciful man.
Judging from his tone, Abbott felt that he seemed to plan to deal with Emma heartlessly.
Matthew stared at him for a few seconds, “You don’t need to know the details. Just do as I said.”
After that, he raised his wrist to check the watch. Dolores had a checkup at nine o’clock. It was half-
past eight. He stood up and said, “You guys can leave now.”
“Excuse me, Mr. Nelson.” Abbott didn’t have the heart to see Emma ruin her own life.
“May I have a chance, please?”
Matthew didn’t speak. He stared at Abbott indifferent, seemingly figured out what Abbott wanted to say.
He didn’t tell the detailed plan to Abbot because he was afraid that Abbott would take Emma’s side.
Emma wasn’t bad-looking. After they got along and had sex, it was normal for them to love each other.
It didn’t mean that he couldn’t trust Abbott, but a human’s feelings were in that way. Matthew had to be
alert.
“What do you want?”
Abbott thought for a moment, “I’ll try to convince her. If she insists on...”
Then he couldn’t do anything. They would deal with her according to Matthew’s plan in that case.
“Hey, do you have a crush on that woman?” Armand said directly.
Abbott immediately retorted, “No, I don’t.”
Armand sneered in disbelief. He stood up to leave the hospital. When passing by Abbott, he whispered,
“Don’t deceive yourself, dude.”
Abbott snorted, “I know myself well. I’m not like you...”
“What about me?” Armand knew that he was referring to his past with Phoebe. Theresa was hurt
because he didn’t have a clear mind at that time.
“Why are you so excited? Have I poked your sore spot?” Abbott deliberately pissed him.
Armand glared at him fiercely, “Don’t be so arrogant. In the future, you might be more miserable than
me.’
Then he turned around and strode away.
In fact, Matthew didn’t want to say yes to Abbott at all, but for the sake that Abbott had been working
for him for a long time, Matthew agreed.
“I don’t expect any mistake.” Although he agreed, he also expressed his expectation.
If Abbott failed to convince her, they must carry out his plan.
Abbott nodded, “I got it.”
Matthew hummed gently and said, “You can go home now.”
Abbott nodded, “May I call you later?”
Matthew said yes. After Abbott was gone, he went into the ward.
Dolores’s ward was quite huge. It was a suite with a living room, in which there was a set of sofa, a TV
set, and a tea table. They could receive the guests paying for a visit.
The bedroom door was on the right side. The bedroom was quite big as well with a big French window.
The curtain was half-down right now. Dolores was lying on the bed. Her long hair looked extremely
charming under the moonlight. A few hairs covered her peaceful face, on which there seemed to cover
a layer of fine gauze. She looked so tender and pretty.
Her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes were long and curly. She hadn’t fallen asleep at all. When
hearing the sound, she opened her eyes.
