Snare of Love novel Chapter 563

Declan calmed down a bit and continued with a more friendly tone, “Don’t forget that your uncle can’t help you with anything now. He has lost his position in the government now. Well, you are supposed to be enemies to each other. So what Boyce Shawn has been promoted as the deputy officer? I just don’t want to make trouble for him. If I do, I’ll ask my father to move his fingers. Boyce Shawn will be fired immediately. How can you fight against me? Do you think the investigation on John would lead to me? Last time, I could escape from it without being impacted, and so will I this time. Like I said just now, as long as you are willing to apologize to me for using me and hurting me last time, let’s end this matter. From now on, we will be going in our own ways. Of course, Mr. Nelson, if you want to make friends with me, I’m willing to.”

Apologizing to him?

Dolores wanted to retort him, but Matthew grabbed her hand to stop her. He shook his head at her, hinting at her to calm down.

Matthew looked at Declan, pressing his lips into a sharp arc. He said in a cold and determined tone, “As long as she was from the Nelson family, no one should lay a finger on her. Mr. Bailey, you do have a strong backer. However, no matter how strong your backer is, he must have weakness, right?”

He slighted leaned back to the sofa, looking quite leisurely. With a snort, he continued, “You son of bitch played dirty tricks and got something nasty to show my wife. You kidnapped my wife’s friend. No matter the old or the new grudge, you must have an explanation to me, Mr. Bailey. Don’t you think so?”

Declan bared his teeth. “You’ve gone too far!”

He insisted that Matthew should apologize to him.

“Too far? The man found in the temple should be working for you, Mr. Bailey. What has he done to my friend? Don’t you know it?” Dolores chimed in. She clenched her hands, trying so hard to calm down.

“Mr. Bailey, if you turn fighting into friendship, you should apologize for the car accident during the kidnap and take responsibility for the matter. Hand out the man who has harmed my friend. As for the photos and your show played with your men in City C, we could be generous and let it go.”

“Are you kidding me?” Declan was also annoyed that John had been to find Theresa in secret. John didn’t only want to rape her but also let her escape. He also wanted to kill John. When he knew what had happened, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

However, he didn’t want to hand John to them. “If I simply gave John to you guys, who would be willing to work for me and trust me in the future? The car accident was just a pure unexpected incident. I wasn’t the mastermind. The mastermind has already paid his price, hasn’t he? Why do you still insist that I need to take the responsibility?”

If he handed John to them, his subordinates would be disappointed in him. Nobody would be willing to work for him in the future.

He believed that it was important to keep his men’s trust in him.

Hence, even John had made a mistake, Declan would try to protect him. He wasn’t protecting just a single person but the loyalties of his men.

The nightclub manager took the initiative and went to jail for him, so Declan believed that he had been treating his men indeed very well.

Dolores sneered. “Mr. Bailey, how couldn’t you understand the thing that everyone could? If I don’t care about my friend, do you think my friend would trust me in the future? We didn’t insist on anything. We just want anyone who has been involved in this matter should take his or her responsibility. Is it too much?”

Dolores’s words poked the sore spot, and Declan was rendered speechless.

What she said truly made sense.

Since they couldn’t achieve an agreement, Declan didn’t smile as he did earlier. Looking at Matthew and then at the sharp-tongued woman, he seemed to understand why Matthew had fallen in love with this woman.

In his opinion, most women and the women he knew were always waiting for men’s protection no matter what had happened, or they would shed tears.

However, she was standing by Matthew’s side fearlessly. Declan wondered if she was way too ignorant so she feared nothing.

Looking at Dolores, he said, “Do you know who my father is? You wouldn’t have any benefit if you are against me.”

Dolores looked into his eyes with confidence. She said coldly, “I don’t know who your father is. I just know people are born equal. Anyone who made mistakes must be responsible for the consequences. In ancient times, when a prince committed a crime, he would receive the same punishment as the common people. Does your father have the supremacy?”

They glared at each other in silence, neither unwilling to compromise. After a long while, Declan sneered. “All right. Let’s fight and wait and see who’s the winner.”
