Snare of Love novel Chapter 147

The pupils of Dolores’ eyes suddenly shrank, in which the sharp dagger was reflecting. Seemingly she had already imagined how painful once the sharp blade was stabbed into her body...

Beulah was so close to her, and Dolores was so nervous that she forgot to react.

At the critical moment, a dark shadow pounced at her and grabbed her arm to pull her away. She bumped into a warm and strong chest. Feeling dizzy, she was spun.

Then she heard a fierce voice, “Go to hell!” Beulah’s body was flying out far away, bumping onto the legs of the desk directly. The tableware and drinks on the table were knocked over, falling onto the ground with a loud bang.

Matthew looked aside sharply. “How did she get in?”

Theresa hurriedly explained, “She was newly hired yesterday to clean the hall.”

She was startled just now as well. Unexpectedly, a cleaner dared to assassinate Dolores.

Dolores returned to her senses. Leaving Matthew’s embrace, she dealt with the follow-up matters calmly. She called over the security guards and asked them to take Beulah away from the hall. As for the reason why she appeared here, she would look into it later.

“Theresa, please call someone here to clean the floor.”

“Okay.”

“I’m terribly sorry. An accident happened just now. Sorry for frightening you.” After apologizing to the guests, she pulled Mathew to the lounge.

Maria was standing outside the crowd, witnessing the whole scene calmly.

She felt that it was a pity that Dolores wasn’t stabbed to death.

However...

Maria’s eyes looked vicious.

Matthew followed Dolores to the lounge.

“Show me your arm.” Dolores looked at his left arm. When she saw him kicked Beulah away, the dagger in Beulah’s hand was cut across his arm.

Fortunately, he didn’t get injured. Perhaps he acted quite fast so he dodged.

She checked his arm carefully.

He didn’t get injured.

“Are you worried about me?” He looked a bit moved.

“I don’t want you to get hurt because of me.” Dolores looked down.

She had thought that she was unable to avoid being injured today.

Much to her surprise, Matthew could appear in time and protected her in his arms.

She had to admit that she felt moved.

Besides that, she also felt her love for him.

All for this man.

“Good you are not injured. I’ll go out to check if it has impacted...”

“Don’t you have anything to speak to me?” Matthew interrupted her words, half-squinting.

“What?” Dolores looked up at him.

Soon she understood what he was referring to.

“A few days ago, we met each other. She told me to invite her to attend the opening ceremony...”

“So you did invite her to come over, didn’t you?” His tone sounded so gloomy and creepy. “Do you know who she is?”

Dolores held her breath, clenching her hands into fists. “Yes, I do.”

“But still you are in touch with her, aren’t you?” This time he didn’t cover his unhappiness, unpleasantness, and disappointment.

“She’s not a bad woman-”

“How long have you known her?” Matthew sneered. “What benefits has she offered you? Has she bribed you?”

His gaze fell on her wrist. He had never seen her wearing any jewelry before. She would wear a watch at the most, which was the only jewelry she had. He wondered where the jade bracelet came from.

“Did she give it to you?”

Dolores hid her hand behind her. However, Matthew pulled it out. He stared at the jade bracelet. “Do you like such kind of things?”

Dolores shook her head. “Nope.”

“Then why did you keep it?”

“I didn’t have the heart to refuse her.”

There were flames in his eyes, and seemingly they were getting fiercer.

“Is she quite pitiful?” He couldn’t understand why she didn’t have the heart to say no.

“No, she isn’t.” Under such circumstances back then, when looking into Victoria’s eyes, Dolores couldn’t refuse her.

“Perhaps she used to have something unspeakable back then.” Dolores tried to explain for Victoria.

Matthew sneered. “How long have you known her? Now you dare to plead for her in front of me.”

“I’ve met her officially twice. I haven’t known for a long time. But my intuition told me that she’s not a bad woman.”

The flames in Matthew’s eyes almost sprayed out, burning this woman into ashes. How could she plead for Victoria?

In an arctic cold tone, he said, “Give it back to her. I’ll buy whatever you like for you.”

“Okay,” Dolores agreed immediately. She had planned to refuse this gift. After all, it was quite valuable. Just at that time, she didn’t have the heart to refuse Victoria.

Dolores’s attitude eased his anger. “From now on, don’t meet her again.”

“Okay,” Dolores agreed bluntly.

She didn’t think Victoria was a bad woman and even a good one. However, because of Matthew, she didn’t have the intention to get too close to Victoria.

At least, she wouldn’t take the initiative to meet Victoria.
