Dolores, who was lying on the bed, talked in her sleep suddenly. Her voice was too small and Matthew
could not hear it clearly. He put his ear near her lips and he could hear it this time. She was calling his
name.
Matthew held her hand and whispered, “I’m here.”
Dolores could not hear it and she called out again, “Matthew---”
Matthew lay on the edge of the bed and hugged her. The hug was very familiar. They shared a bed
every night and they had become very familiar with each other.
It was his scent and she knew it. She moved closer to Matthew in a daze, “Matthew, don’t be sad. I’ll
stay with you.”
She did not open her eyes, as if she was talking in her sleep.
Matthew opened his eyes. His thick eyelashes fluttered a few times, and then he closed them finally.
He only slept for a while and then woke up.
He was very tired these past few days. He was not able to sleep even for a short while as Joshua was
missing.
The sky outside was still dark. He helped Dolores to tuck in the quilt and then touched her forehead.
The fever seemed to have gone down. It was not hot anymore. However, he could not stay with her
now as he had to go and find Joshua.
He looked at her affectionately, got up, walked out gently and closed the door.
He went to Armand’s room after he went downstairs. He asked him to not let Dolores go back today.
Armand felt that something was wrong, “What’s wrong?”
He sat up from the bed.
The lights were not switched on in the room. Matthew stood at the doorway, “Joshua is missing.”
“What?!” Armand shouted subconsciously.
“Lower your volume.” Matthew did not explain much, “Help me to keep an eye on this place.”
Armand nodded, “Don’t worry about it.”
Matthew said yes and left.
At about nine o’clock, he received a message from Boyce. He saw Benjamin and the woman coming
out of the house and getting into a car.
He asked Matthew if he wanted to arrest them.
Matthew asked him to continue following them and not to be discovered.
Right now, the most important thing for him was to find Joshua first.
Boyce had been busy. He had not been idle. He was investigating the origins of the woman by
Benjamin’s side.
Everything happened for a reason. There were always clues. Furthermore, she was a woman who liked
to keep a high profile.
It just took him little time to find out everything about the woman. She was a bar girl. She was a
mistress of many rich men before she stayed together with Benjamin. Benjamin was her latest sugar
daddy. She was very good at dealing with men and had gotten a lot of money from previous sugar
daddies.
She was well-known in her circles for her skill in dealing with men and the amount of money she had
gotten from them.
This time, her friends envied her when she got Benjamin as her sugar daddy. Although he was old, he
was rich. She might be able to get a lot of heritage if he died one day. It was known that Benjamin was
sterile, just that no one discussed it openly.
Her friends were thinking that after he died, she would be rich and she could find a young man.
“Is that idiot crazy?” Abbott disdained, thinking in his mind, ‘He has found an experienced lady but he
was incited to do something stupid by the lady, does he want to die?’
‘He can enjoy the rest of his life in peace, but now he puts himself in danger. It’s true that women are
devils, for example, Emma disappeared after putting him into trouble.’
“Shall we arrest her?” Abbott asked.
‘Isn’t Boyce stalking them?’
‘It would be better to arrest Benjamin rather than arresting her.’
‘However, what if he doesn’t say anything after we arrest him?’
‘By that time, we still have to let go of him. After all, Joshua is still with them.’ This is his weakness and
he did not dare to take the risk.
“This woman likes money, how about we try to buy her off with money?” Abbott came up with another
idea, “We don’t have much time.”
At this time, there was news from Boyce. They went to a club to have fun.
‘It seems we can’t find Joshua by stalking them.’
Abbott also saw Boyce’s message and said, “They need to make use of Joshua, they must be afraid
that we find him out, so they must hide him in somewhere which is difficult to be found. We can only
catch a random person and ask him or her. If the soft approach does not work, we can use the hard
approach. We can use coercion and bribery. How can they still not tell the truth?”
Matthew weighed for a moment. He could not come out with a better solution to get Boyce to arrest
them.
At the same time, he needed to have a second plan. He asked someone to make a fake share
certificate. The real one was with Dolores. If he went to ask her for it, she would find out.
After receiving the order, Boyce changed his attire and disguised himself as if he was there to spend
money but he was ready to find an opportunity to arrest them.
The woman had been following Benjamin. After playing golf for a while, she sat down on the sofa to
rest. She sat on Benjamin’s lap and fed him fruit, “What do you think, we can succeed ...”
Before she could finish her words, Benjamin covered her mouth, “Beware of eavesdroppers.”
The woman giggled. She pointed her slender fingers on his forehead, “Look how careful you are.”
Benjamin said, “That’s because you don’t know the temperament of the person with the surname
Nelson.”
“Aren’t you also surnamed Nelson?” The woman wrapped her arms around his neck and acted
coquettishly. She wore a red dress that made her skin fair and there was a bit red. The neckline of the
dress was so low that one could peek inside with a slight lean. She used her pair of thin, fair legs to rub
against his body.
Benjamin put his hands on her leg, “You’re naughty even in broad daylight.”
“Don’t you enjoy me doing this?” The woman bent her body, deliberately used her breast to act
coquettishly in front of him. Benjamin was old and did not have much energy but he enjoyed watching
her act coquettishly in front of him.
She was able to make Benjamin love her, mainly because she understood him well. Such an old man
was simply impotent. However, she always pretended that she enjoyed it very much when she had sex
with him and that made him feel accomplished.
Benjamin slapped her on the buttocks and said that she was a wanker.
Instead of getting angry, the woman laughed more happily.
Boyce was in another place but he could hear it clearly. There was a chill running down his spine,
‘Doesn’t he know that he’s old? Why doesn’t he feel embarrassed when he talks about this in broad
daylight?’
“You said, when you get the company, you will make me become the president. You can’t break your
promise.” The woman smiled.
The more the one who came from poor background became high class, the more they want. They felt
that it was not enough to have money. They would like to be envied and to be adored.
Benjamin was worried. He had lived a carefree life all these years. However, he could not sleep well
last night, especially when the alarm rang. He thought that Matthew had brought someone to arrest
him.
“Don’t worry, there will be no mistakes.” The woman was very good at observing, “You just said that
your surname is also Nelson. Why should they get all the limelight? Besides, it’s not fair, you are the
descendants of the Nelson family, but they hold the power and have the most shares, on the other
hand, you only have a small number of shares, why? Don’t you think you’re treated unfairly?”
Benjamin understood that his lineage did not know how to run a business, but he was touched by some
of those words.
‘Even if I don’t know how to run a business, they shall have given me equal share, right? But then no.’
“I’ve heard of cases abroad that someone like you could get cured. After you’re cured, we can have a
child and he can inherit the family business and pass it on from generation to generation, wouldn’t that
be great?” The woman rested on his shoulder, “I hope that I can give birth to your child. If you’re sterile
for the rest of your life, you will die without descendants and maybe someone will tease you and think
that you don’t deserve to have that twenty per cent of the shares.”
