Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 131

When Maria woke up, she was naked and the large bed was messy.

There was no one in her sight.

She sat up, wrapping her smooth body in the quilt and tried to recall what happened last night. She used the video of Dolores being undressed to bring Matthew here. Originally, she had wanted to use the video to in exchange for him to spare the Herbert family. But when he came, before she had the chance to talk to him, they both drank wine.

And then she got drunk.

She remembered taking off her clothes herself.

At that time, only Matthew was there with her in the room.

Did Matthew do something with her yesterday?

She was not an innocent child; she could clearly feel what had happened to her body.

She blushed, her cheeks turning red.

Did Matthew really change his mind?

She was so excited that she almost jumped up.

She was sure that last night Matthew had sex with her.

She knew Matthew a little bit, before when he found out that she was the woman from that night, he was really nice to her.

If he hadn’t found out about her fake pregnancy car accident later on, he wouldn’t have begun to hate her either.

Now he slept with her, which means he was willing to be with her again.

She happily got out of the bed and put her clothes back on.

She had to hurry and tell Landon about this. If Matthew was willing to be with her again, was he still going to spread that news?

After getting dressed, she quickly left the hotel.

The car stopped at the Herbert family’s house. When she got out, she noticed Abbott’s car parked not far away.

Was Abbott here?

She knew that Abbott was Matthew’s assistant.

He was also someone who Matthew trusted very much.

Was he there to tell her family that she wanted to reconcile with Matthew?

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became and the faster she walked.

Pushing open the door, she saw her family. Landon was sitting in the front with a pale face and Sampson and Warner’s expressions were not good. Camilla was sitting a little to the side and was sobbing softly, not daring to cry loudly.

Maria didn’t think that the dull depressing atmosphere was because of her.

She glanced at Abbott and asked with a smile, “Did Matthew send you?”

Abbott missed her gaze and said indifferently, “Yes.”

He and Maria used to work together and they had a good working relationship. Later, she turned out to be from the Herbert family and gained status and changed.

He didn’t know what she did, but he knew that Matthew would not do what he did unless she had gone too far.

As expected, Maria almost laughed out loud.

She walked over to Landon, “Dad…”

There was a loud slapping sound.

Maria was slapped hard by her father and lost her balance, falling down on the floor. She knelt on the ground, unable to believe that her father had just slapped her.

She clutched her sorely numb cheek, “Dad, why are you hitting me?”

“Why?” Landon was breathless from the effort of slapping her. The news incident was still not resolved but there was already another scandal! He was extremely angry.

And she was still asking why did he hit her?

Trembling with anger, he pointed at her, “You still have the guts to ask why?”

“You must have a reason for hitting me, otherwise I will never forgive you!” Maria turned her head towards Camilla with tears in her eyes.

Camilla did not dare to intervene for her.

She turned to look at Sampson, who had red eyes and did not come forward to help her.

When she had returned to the Herbert family’s house, Camilla and Sampson had treated her well.

Now that neither of them stepped forward to speak for her, she felt the seriousness of the situation.

Landon’s voice was lower than usual and deep like a muffled thunder as he chuckled bitterly, “I regret not choking you to death the day you were born. And you are telling me that you won’t forgive me?”
