Snare of Love novel Chapter 33

Two days ago, she was drinking alone at the bar. Coincidentally, she bumped into Annabelle.

They were seated next to each other, and Annabelle was pretty drunk from her flushed face. Due to the fact that Matthew was not crippled anymore, she had missed her chance to marry into the Nelson family. She was very resentful about this fact as she couldn’t stop cursing at Dolores.

Helen then inched closer towards her to build some rapport between them. She learnt from Annabelle that she was also from the Flores family, and she hated Dolores very much.

Helen was always close to Matthew all the time, so if she was going to launch an attack at Dolores, she would be easily found out.

Therefore, she came to a conclusion that she had to manipulate Annabelle for her own gain.

Although Annabelle resembled Beulah a lot, she was a far cry in terms of intelligence. After all, she was only seventeen. She still had a long way to go before reaching maturity.

Helen was well-versed in the way of the society since she was young, and to top things off she was always learning from Matthew. She was very good with words as a result.

She had told Annabelle that she was working at WY Group, and it was easy for her to help eliminate Dolores.

Under the enticement of Helen, Annabelle had reached an agreement with her. After Annabelle returned home, she immediately reported this to Beulah.

On the other hand, Beulah was also afraid of Dolores’ revenge.

Eight years ago, by bearing a son, she was able become the new young lady in the family. Having a child granted her the opportunity to entice Randolph into sending Dolores and her mother away.

Therefore, Beulah was able to agree to Annabelle’s proposal almost immediately.

The two of them had conspired with a guy and they planned to bring Dolores to somewhere secluded and had her raped while taking photos of the process. They wanted to destroy her, and induced Matthew’s resentment towards her.

It was just that they didn’t expect her to escape.

After answering Helen’s call, Annabelle immediately descended the stairs, wanting to discuss with Beulah about their next step in targeting Dolores. However, when she reached the living room, she sensed an ominous atmosphere hanging over the living room.

Both Randolph and Beulah had a grave expression on their faces.

She walked towards them and sat beside Beulah and wrapped her arms around her mother’s, “Mum, what’s wrong?”

Beulah just remained silent.

Randolph was very moody as he barked, “I never asked you to do anything funny. I just wanted you to apologize to her so that she wouldn’t be so petty about past matters anymore. Now that the company is in trouble, we need her help!”

To be precise, they needed Matthew’s help.

It seemed that Dolores had somehow garnered Matthew’s fondness, so they figured that they had to make a move on Dolores first.

Based on Dolores’ tone on that day, she seemed like not being able to let go of the past yet.

Randolph still harboured some feelings towards Beulah, so if they weren’t in the worst scenario, he wouldn’t even want to divorce Beulah.

“Dad, who are you asking mum to apologize to?” Annabelle couldn’t figure out what was going on.

“And you… Dolores is still your sister. You should try to treat her even nicer.” Randolph cast a glance at Beulah, “Think about what I’ve said. I will call her now to invite her over for dinner at night.”

Annabelle wasn’t as calm and composed as Beulah. When she realized that her mother was being asked to apologize to Dolores, she immediately got up and retorted, “Dad, how can you ask mum to apologize to her?”

Randolph’s eyes trembled slightly as he couldn’t comprehend her usually obedient and sensible daughter acting so strangely forceful at that moment.

“I’m your dad. Do you think you should talk to me like that?” Randolph finally flew into a rage, “Let me tell you straight, if you are willing to apologize, then everything is still up in the air; but if you refuse to apologize, I’ll immediately divorce your mum!”

Compared to his wife, he still prioritized the company.

As long as he could maintain his status in society, he wouldn’t be short of women at any given time.

If he lost his wealth and status in society, it would mean that he had reached his doom!

“Dad...”

“Annabelle!” Beulah instantly interrupted her daughter. She was very clear-headed about Randolph’s priority. Why would he care about her dignity at this juncture?

If he was being serious, he would really divorce her.

The reason this was possible was because of what had happened to Jessica and her mother. Although they had been a family for a long time, he could still abandon them as soon as he got the chance.
