Snare of Love novel Chapter 740

Touching the fresh petals of the lilies, Emma said in a low voice, “Lily is kind of elegant flower with good meanings.”

Dolores looked at her, “Are you here to praise the lilies?”

It wasn’t because that she disliked Emma, but Emma was one from the Bailey family. Under such a circumstance, they would never become good friends.

Emma took a step back and bowed at Dolores, “I apologize for what I’ve done to you before.”

Dolores felt quite surprised at her behavior. However, she was still alert. She pressed her lips in silence.

Emma knew that Dolores was still alert to her and Dolores wouldn’t believe her so easily.

She didn’t come here to make Dolores believe her, anyway.

“Mrs. Nelson, I believe Mr. Nelson and you love each other deeply, right?” Although she was asking a question, she stated it. She sat on the chair next to the bed.

“To be honest, I shouldn’t have come to see you. After, our relationship...” She raised her head and looked at Dolores, “I know they have made mistakes and deserve the punishments. I shouldn’t take any revenge. But, they are my family. Mrs. Nelson, do you know how I feel?”

“Well, you should tell your family members who have made mistakes and are still alive that this is a society ruled by the law. Since they have broken the law, they must bear the consequences and take responsibility. No one could escape. You feel sorry for your family, but how about those victims’ families who have been hurt by them? If a person couldn’t stand in others’ shoes when thinking, the person isn’t mature at all. He or she is paranoid. You said you could understand it, but actually, you don’t. You believe that it’s fair only if either my husband or I would suffer. In fact, what you need to do is to tell Declan Bailey that this is a fair world. He has made mistakes, so he has to try hard to correct them and learn to become a good man. If he kept being paranoid, no one would be able to rescue him. Don’t you think so?”

Emma was enlightened. Indeed, she had been thinking everything from her perspective. She believed that only if Matthew suffered in his life could pay back her father’s death and her younger brother’s freedom.

She had prepared a lot of words ahead before coming here, but right now, she couldn’t utter any word now.

Dolores didn’t want to stand at the commanding height of morality and accuse anyone, but she only wanted to tell Emma the right truth.

If a person made a mistake but he or she didn’t need to pay the price, the world would be chaotic for sure.

Whose personal safety could be guaranteed in that case?

“If you still love your younger brother, you should tell him to be a good man. A gentleman should make money in a proper way. He shouldn’t have done those outrageous things without conscience to earn unjust money. You should know clearly what your brother was doing before. Your parents didn’t stop him but instead, they covered him up. The bane has been planted long ago.”

Emma had to admit what Dolores said was right.

If her father were not a corrupted official, nor had he abuse his power to cover up her younger brother, and had told him what to do and what not to do, neither her brother nor her father would have ended up in this way.

Emma came to see Dolores because she wanted to tell Dolores that she had given up, but Matthew and she owed her. However, upon listening to Dolores’s words and thought for a moment, she didn’t think it was their fault at all.

They just disclose the truth and let the people who had committed crimes receive the punishments they deserved.

Emma closed her eyes slowly.

She felt so complicated.

Suddenly, she giggled, “Sure enough, I’m one of the Bailey family. I think and do things so differently from others, don’t I?”

Dolores didn’t think it had anything to do with the fact that she was from the Bailey family.

It only depended on personal thought and consciousness.

Charles’s mother-in-law, the third daughter of the Bailey family, Maisy, had a clear vision. She didn’t get involved in the things that happened in the past. She and her husband could distinguish right and wrong.
