Snare of Love novel Chapter 64

The whole Herbert family knew that Matthew canceled the engagement with Maria, including Sampson. And Sampson knew from Maria why Matthew canceled the engagement.

Therefore, when he saw Matthew, he couldn’t hide the anger in his heart.

His brother Warner, who was sitting beside him, detected his fluctuating emotions. Warner reached his hand to pat Sampson’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “If it was not because the Herbert family had a long history, we wouldn’t have made it a long time ago. City B has changed a lot. You are not in the county most time of a year, and don’t know what’s going on here. Though it is he who broke the promise this time, we can’t just argue with him face to face.”

Sampson was angry not only because of the cancellation of engagement, but also because of Dolores.

Six years ago, in order to help Dolores to get rid of Matthew, he took her away from City B and hid her in Country A.

He thought with the passage of time, Dolores would accept him one day. And maybe six years would cut her away from her short history with Matthew.

But after six years, Dolores still didn’t want to accept him.

And Matthew even canceled the engagement with his sister because of Dolores.

How could he stay calm?

“He thinks he can do whatever he wants with some money?” Sampson didn’t try to cover his discontent and detest for Matthew.

Sampson’s voice wasn’t low, so Matthew heard what he said. He casted his eyes on Sampson. He remembered that his man was close to Dolores before.

He dusted his collar, trying to clean the dust that didn’t exist. He said calmly and peacefully, “What did you say? I didn’t hear it.”

Warner immediately covered for Sampson, “You canceled the engagement with Maria. He was just wining about it. Please ignore him.”

While talking, Warner dragged the sleeve of his younger brother, asking him to stop talking.

But Sampson didn’t listen to his brother and said with no fear in his voice, “As a man, you hurt a woman like this. Aren’t you afraid that you will get struck by lightning?”

Warner’s face changed. He glared at his brother. Did he really want to make an enemy now that Matthew couldn’t be a family member?

What’s the good in breeding enmity with the Nelson family?

He worked so hard for this family. Sampson never contributed to his family and now he intended to bring troubles to the family?

At this moment, Warner was very disappointed at his selfish brother who only thought for himself and never thought about his family.

Matthew faked a smile and said in an interesting tone, “I am just afraid that the lightning will strike someone else instead.”

Sampson clenched his fists. If he wasn’t dragged by Warner, he might go out there and have a fight with Matthew.

“They are all in there. You go ahead. My brother has a soft spot for our little sister who had been leading a vagrant life since childhood. So he talks before he thinks. Please don’t mind him.” Warner smiled to Matthew.

Matthew glanced at Sampson plainly and strode into the hall.

Jayden and Landon were sitting on the sofa at one end of the hall, talking.

Maria sat beside Landon. Her eyes were red. It seemed like she had just cried.

Her delicate make-up was a bit in mess now.

Seeing Matthew walking in, Maria stood up quickly, “Matthew...”

Matthew didn’t respond to her and sat on the sofa. He struck first to gain the initiative, “I am the one who wanted to cancel the engagement. Name whatever you want.”

Jayden was about to spit out blood.

He and Landon had been talking a lot in the hall. They both didn’t want to cancel the engagement.

If the two families were united by marriage, they would have a win-win cooperation. It would be good both for the Herbert family as well as the Nelson family.

They would share mutual benefits.

“Matthew, I don’t know about the things between you young people these days. But you suddenly want to cancel the engagement, is it because Maria did something wrong?” Landon said with a peaceful face. His tone was calm too.

He was calmer than his two sons.

Living to this age, he had experienced all kinds of things. So he could keep it cool.

If the Herbert family shouted at him and accused him, it would be much easier. Matthew was worried that he would meet such an experienced person as Landon before.

But Matthew was tough too. Though he didn’t have as much experience as Landon, he had gone through a lot too. He was trained by many obstacles and challenges. So he didn’t look weak, “I don’t like people lying to me.”

Hearing this, Landon sensed something was wrong. So his daughter really did something wrong?

Matthew didn’t want to bring up the past and just wanted to solve the problem in front of him now.

“It is me who was reckless in this matter. I shouldn’t have agreed and then broken the promise. After all, it is me who broke the promise. I can compensate you with whatever you want. As long as I can afford it, I will hold nothing back.”

“I disagree.” Before Landon opened his mouth, Maria couldn’t stay silent any more.
