Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 135

She didn’t give a response and the car drove away.

Sampson’s words had planted a seed of suspicion in Dolores heart for no reason.

Don’t just keep giving sincerely like a fool and be blind to what is in front of your eyes.

He was clearly referring to Matthew.

Matthew read her thoughts and sneered.

“What are you laughing at?” She frowned.

“Do you feel relaxed now?”

Dolores blinked without responding. After a while, she said, “No.”

She didn’t believe it; she didn’t believe it at all. She kept feeling like his words had a deeper meaning.

She pondered for a while, “About that news… forget it.”

“Have you figured it out?”

Dolores turned her head and looked out the window. The scenery that was passing by quickly just like the past.

She said faintly, “Yeah.”

“Okay.”

She would rather figure it out herself without his help.

Actually, this way was good too, cutting off all ties with Sampson.

The car quieted down suddenly, the two did not talk anymore and the atmosphere became quiet.

In the middle, Matthew answered Abbott’s call.

Abbott said that Landon was at the company waiting for him.

Dolores had decided so he had to naturally resolve the issue.

The news matter was not going to be investigated but the video was still not resolved.

He didn’t want her video to circulate the internet.

The car stopped in front of the WY Group building. Matthew got out of the car, gave the keys to Dolores and said, “Go home early.”

Dolores took the keys and nodded, “Okay.”

Watching him walk into the building, Dolores sat into the driver’s seat and drove to the airport.

She looked at the time; there was still half an hour left. She was just in time.

Not far from the airport, she could see the plane that looked like a bird in the sky flying in the blue sky.

She parked the car in the parking lot and walked into the exit hall of the airport.

Like always, the airport was crowded with people, parting or meeting with tears and laughter.

“Dolores.” Suddenly a familiar voice sounded behind her. She turned around and saw Allison beckoning her. She was wearing casual clothes, white sneakers with her sleeves rolled up and carrying a suitcase behind her.

Mrs. William stood right behind her, wearing an ivory suit and a complete set of sapphire jewelry looking decent and elegant.

Dolores smiled and walked over, “I’m late!”

“Exactly, we have been waiting for you forever.” Allison complained, looking behind her, “Are you alone? Did Samuel not come to pick me up?”

“He was a little injured and I didn’t want him to leave the house, so I didn’t tell him that you were coming.” Dolores didn’t know that she was coming either.

Allison bumped her shoulder, “You weren’t expecting me, right?”

“Yeah.” Dolores said truthfully.

“Still not here to help you.” She gave her a meaningful look and Dolores understood immediately. Allison had come because Mrs. William was afraid that she was going to get too busy to help her and brought Allison to help her.

Even if Mrs. William didn’t bring help with her, she wouldn’t have been angry at her.

Her current achievements are all because of the opportunities given by Mrs. William.

“Mrs. William.” Dolores regarded her with a lot of respect like her own family.

Mrs. William smiled gracefully, “Let’s go.”

Dolores helped her with the luggage, “The car is outside.”

Dolores put in the luggage and Allison helped to open the door for Mrs. William.

“Dolores, you have become quiet rich after coming back.” Allison carefully checked the car and found it to be the latest. She knew that Dolores was very economical and would never buy such a luxurious car.

“This is not mine.” Dolores said.

She had no spare money to buy a car.

Allison leaned over and said ambiguously in a gossipy tone, “Then who owns this car? Wait, don’t tell me. Let me guess.”

She thought for a while and then said, “A man gave it to you, and he is very rich, right?”

The color and configuration of the car were quite masculine, so the person who lent it to Dolores could never be a woman.

Dolores couldn’t afford to buy such a car.

So, it must have been a rich man who had a good relationship with Dolores to lend her a car.

“Am I right?” Allison asked triumphantly.

Dolores pretended that she couldn’t hear her, “What did you say?”

Allison caught her at once, “Why are you pretending? You heard me clearly. Why don’t you want to tell me? You are not capable of finding a man this quickly, are you?”

She guessed, “Could it be your son’s father…”

“Allison, are you not tired after such a long flight? Can you be quiet for a while?” Mrs. William interrupted her.

Allison didn’t know it but Mrs. William probably guessed that whose car was it. It was probably that one who forced her to come back.

Allison curled her lips and patted Dolores on the shoulder, “Okay, this time I will let you go for Mrs. William’s sake.”

“By the way, what is the plan for today?” Allison didn’t feel tired at all from the flight and looked excited.

“Don’t you need to rest?” Dolores glanced at her.

“I’m not tired.” Allison stretched, “Where is Theresa? Why didn’t she come with you to pick us up?”

“She is in the store.”

“Oh, then I will go too and get familiarized with the environment. You just take Mrs. William to the hotel to rest.”

“Are you sure?” Dolores asked.

“Yes.”

Taking the U-turn, Dolores changed the car’s direction and drove towards the store.

While dropping Allison at the store, she and Mrs. William also took a look at the interior of the store. It was based on the main store’s design, very modest and there were not errors. Mrs. William was quite satisfied.

ELO was her whole life’s hard work, even if it was just a branch, she did not allow any mistakes.

After the visit, Dolores took her to the hotel to rest.

“Is there anything like good days to start new things in China?” Mrs. William asked.

Dolores nodded, “Yes.”

“Then we will have to carefully choose a good day to hold the opening ceremony and follow all the customs. After all, you are also Chinese.”

“I checked and the say after tomorrow is a good day. It is advisable to move into a new house, open a business or break ground for a building.” She had been checking for a suitable day while overseeing the store’s renovation, so that they could open right away.

“If you have arranged for it then it’s great.” Mrs. William looked a little tired.

Dolores opened the door of the hotel room for her, placed her luggage inside and poured her a glass of water, “Drink some water, take a bath and rest. We will have dinner together tonight.”

“Okay. You go finish the arrangements”

There were a lot of things to be arranged for the opening and there wasn’t much time for Dolores to arrange it all in time.

Dolores left the hotel and went to the store, choosing invitations and decorating the venue.

Since returning back to China, this was the first time Dolores felt everything was real.

In WY Group’s reception room…

“Don’t worry about the video. I will never let it leak; it will be completely destroyed.” Landon came to talk to Matthew himself.

Sampson had gone back and told him that the matter of the video was settled. As long as there was a press conference, he was going to singlehandedly bear all responsibility.

The situation had evolved so badly that it was impossible to clean up in a way where no one would be punished, an no matter what they did the Herbert family’s reputation was never going to be restored.

Sampson was voluntarily going to admit that he had bullied and kidnapped Samuel and that he was willing to receive punishment.

The heaviest sentence imposed by the police for intentional injury was one year and six months jail time.

Normally, it wouldn’t be as long. But even though Samuel was not severely injured, there was still a lot of pressure on the police and the Herbert family did not want trouble anymore, so they would sentence him harshly to make sure the concerns of the public were put to rest.

This way the reputation of the Herbert family was going to be restored too. They did not bully others and were good law-abiding citizens. If they made a mistake, they were punished for it even more severely than regular people.

This was going to stop all of the gossiping.

“That video of Maria…” Landon stopped talking suddenly.

His meaning was clear.

“I need sincerity.” Matthew said indifferently.

He was not going to rely on his words.

Was he a three-year-old child?

Sincerity was shown in action not in words.

Landon placed the original video on the table, “There is no back up copy, it wasn’t saved anywhere. You can be rest assured that even though this mess is unpleasant, there is still old friendship between the two families. I will not go back on my word.”

Matthew picked it up and looked at it for two seconds, “Don’t worry. As long as this video doesn’t see the light of the day, your daughter’s video will also not leak.”

“But…”

“Why? Can’t you trust me?”

Landon was embarrassed. If the video remained in his hands wouldn’t he be able to threaten with it at any time?

At such a time, the feeling of being threatened by others was not good.

“Of course, I believe you, but, after all, it is connected to my daughter’s reputation, so I must be vigilant.” Landon looked like a father at this moment.
