Snare of Love novel Chapter 50

Abbott pushed open the door and then walked into the office with Dolores following behind. Matthew was talking on the phone at the moment and gestured them to keep quiet when seeing them coming in.

Although Dolores urgently and anxiously wanted to know what had happened, she had to wait for the time being.

Several minutes later, Matthew hung out the phone and waved at Dolores, “Come here.”

Dolores walked over and stood in front of the office desk.

“Give me your phone?” Matthew reached out to her.

“What?”

Dolores widened her eyes. Wasn’t he going to tell her what had happened? Why did he ask for her phone?

What the hell was going on?

Abbott stood silently aside looking into the sky while praying in heart, ‘God, Helen White, please come back as soon as possible. If you’re still absent, I’m afraid that Mr. Nelson will be snatched by other woman.’

Matthew raised his brows and said in an unhappy tone, “You don’t want to give it to me?”

“No.” Dolores hurriedly produced her phone and then handed it to Matthew, “It has no screen lock.”

Matthew took the phone and slid to unlock the phone. He then opened the Contacts and entered his phone numbers. Fixated his gaze on the screen with his head lowered, he suddenly moved his fingers to input ‘Mr. Nelson’ into the Name column.

Dolores always addressed him in this way.

He then dialed the numbers that he saved just now. Soon, his phone which was on the table vibrated.

Dolores shifted her gaze between Abbott and Matthew, trying to figure out what they were doing.

“What the hell had happened? Hey, say something.” It was really not funny to be ignored.

Matthew handed the phone back to her, “Make sure that I can find you at any time in the future.”

When he tried to connect Dolores back then, He found he didn’t have her phone numbers!

This made him feel inexplicably unhappy. Extremely unhappy!

Dolores didn’t take the phone. She stared at him as if she was questioning: So just now Abbott was so anxious to find her, and this turned out to be because Matthew wanted to save her phone numbers?

Matthew put the phone on the table and heaved a sigh, “Prepare yourself mentally.”

Before Dolores could understand what Matthew meant by saying this, the large screen in front of her that was used for videoconferencing had lit up and a high-definition video was displayed.

A pregnant woman was standing on the top floor of the office building of the Flores Group and it looked as if she wanted to jump from the building.

There were police vehicles, reporters as well as onlookers downstairs, making it crowded.

Screams and cries also lingered in people’s ears.

Dolores could feel the chaos of the scene through the screen.

She stiffly turned to look at Abbott, “What… what’s going on?”

“This woman has bought a house of the building invested by your father, but now there’s a collapse accident during the construction of the building. Naturally she doesn’t want the house anymore. But according to the contract, once you buy the house, it cannot be returned. She’s now standing on the top floor and asserts to commit suicide, trying to force your dad to return the money.”

Dolores gasped and staggered, “She… Was she really going to jump from the building?”

Even if money was important, life was even more important, not to mention that she was now pregnant.

This was not just about her own life.

“Who knows? Maybe this is just an approach to force your dad to return the money. But you also know about your dad’s characteristics. If he returns her the money, and if the other buyers also follow suit and use building jump to threaten him, I’m afraid that he can’t raise too much money based on his company’s condition.” Abbott said coldly as this was none of his business.

Dolores had mixed feelings, “Is there any way to save this situation?”

Abbott threw a wet blanket on her, “NO!”

The situation had deteriorated to the present state, and the Flores Group was bound to be doomed. No one would be willing to accept the building construction project which had had a collapse accident. If the crash flow problem remained unsolved, the Flores Group will have to announce bankruptcy and the judicial department will intervene in this and auction its assets. This was a strong case.

“I have to go to the scene.” She ran out of the office before finishing the words.

Matthew slightly knitted his brows and then stood up and followed her out, “Abbott, bring some men.”

The scene would definitely be in a mess and what if she got hurt again as she had come there rashly.
