Snare of Love novel Chapter 65

“No, I don’t want it!”

Maria was shaking her head like crazy. She repeatedly said, “I don’t want it. I don’t want to get even with you. I want you to love me.”

Her tears and messy hair made her look miserable and embarrassed.

Even so, Matthew’s heart still didn’t soften.

“Dinner is ready…” Camilla walked in to inform Landon that dinner was ready and they could start eating, only to find that Maria stabbed Matthew with a knife in her hand.

The bright red blood got Camilla nervous immediately.

She exclaimed.

It was not until then did all people in presence returned to their senses. Jayden snapped in a deep tone, “Hurry up! Call an ambulance!”

Landon, who was taken aback, yelled at Sampson sitting closest to them, “Hurry up and pull away your sister!”

Originally it was Matthew’s fault, but he got injured in the Herbert family’s house.

That left them at a disadvantage instead of advantage again.

Since things happened until now, it would be no good for Landon. He was furious but he couldn’t vent it out. His hands clasped on the table edges, blue veins breaking up on them.

Crack!

When Sampson pulled his sister away, the knife dropped on the floor, making a crisp sound.

The blade was stained with bright red blood.

“Ah! Matthew, are you all right?” Maria returned to her senses. She reached her hand, aiming to touch his wound.

Matthew tossed off her hand. Right then, a ringing tone rang in the living room.

Everyone looked over at Mathew’s coat on the sofa where the ringing tone was from.

Under the white dangling light, Matthew was standing in a pale halo.

He was in a trance. If others looked carefully, they would notice there were cold sweat beads broken out on his forehead.

He picked up the coat, pulled out his phone, and checked the caller ID. It was from Abbott. He swiped to answer it.

Soon Abbott’s voice was heard. “Mr. Nelson, I’ve looked into the matter you asked. Six years ago, Dolores Flores had a car accident, so she broke her words and couldn’t come back to go through the divorce proceedings. Sampson Herbert took her mother and her and hid them in Country A. Firstly they stayed in Barney City, and then they transferred to the capital of Country A. During the whole period of time, Sampson Herbert has deliberately erased their tracks to avoid letting others know.”

Holding the cell phone, Matthew slowly looked up, his gaze falling on Sampson who was holding Maria.

Staring at him, Matthew asked Abbott on the phone, “Has he always been with her all these years?”

“Yes...”

Gloominess rolled over his sharp eyes. “In which relationship?” he asked again.

Although Abbott was on the other end of the line, he could still feel the pressure from Matthew. He couldn’t help but swallow. ‘Mr. Nelson, I haven’t finished reporting yet. Could you please hold back your anger?’ he prayed inwardly.

Of course Matthew couldn’t hear his pray. Abbott could only answer honestly, “It seemed that Ms. Flores never accepted him, only regarding him as an older brother. Apart from him, there was no male in her life. Well, except for her son.”

“I see.” After hanging up the phone, Matthew threw a cold glance at Sampson and then looked at the Herbert family members. “You can still inform me your conditions.”

Finishing his words, he walked out from the Herbert family’s house, seemingly unwilling to tangle with them any longer.

There was a mess in the living room. After a moment of silence, Landon finally came back to his senses. Forcing a smile, he said, “Jayden, for this matter...”

Jayden stood up, his both hands on his back. He answered in a displeased tone, “It was my son’s fault originally. After all, he didn’t keep his promise. What requests do you have? Just let us know.”

Since Matthew was injured but Jayden still said so, obviously he was very unhappy.

“That’s not the case. It’s only the romance between our children. Isn’t it normal for them to break up or come together from time to time? Since we couldn’t become the in-laws, we are still friends, aren’t we? How can I request anything from you?” Landon kept a flattering smile.

Since he had said so, Jayden didn’t want to insist on anything. He called the butler, “Thomas, let’s go home.”

Thomas walked up immediately. “Mr. Matthew has gone to the hospital. Shall we go there?
