Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 145

“Huh?”

Allison pouted, “Don’t tell me that you don’t know them.”

Dolores really didn’t know. It was only after she saw them in the exhibition area that she found out who they were.

They were Armand and Boyce.

“Who designed this?” Armand stood in front of a long skirt with the name written clearly below it, but he pretended he couldn’t see it and asked Theresa.

“I did.” If she didn’t know that she was talking to a rich and powerful person, she would have cursed him for being perverted long ago. He was a man snooping around in women’s clothes and furthermore, he kept asking nonsense questions.

“Oooh!” Armand uttered, deliberately pulling the sound long making it feel uncomfortable. Theresa kept her temper calm and said, “Do you have any more questions? I you don’t mind, I am busy.”

“Yes, I do!” He picked the thin shoulder straps of the skirt, “What is the source of inspiration for this design? Why are the shoulder straps so thin? Is it because it would be easy to take it off or to expose the skin more?”

Theresa’s face turned red in an instant, and she glared at him.

Then she said coldly, “Are you here to stir up trouble and ruin the opening?”

“No, no! I’m just curious.” Armand grinned, “Stir up trouble? Do I not want to live?”

This was Dolores place.

And who was Dolores?

She was Matthew’s sweetheart at the moment. Armand didn’t have the guts.

“If you like it, you can buy it. About my source of inspiration, how about I tell you some other time?”

“I don’t have a girlfriend, why would I buy it?” Armand pouted.

Theresa smiled and two dimples appeared on the corners of her mouth making her look really cute, “If you want, you can wear it yourself.”

Armand was lost for words.

But Boyce next to him burst out laughing.

“This is a good idea! He can wear it himself! I am telling you it suits him.” Boyce took the opportunity to dig Armand’s grave.

Armand glared at him, “Will you die if you don’t talk?”

“Yeah… What are you looking at?”

Boyce noticed that Armand’s face had changed suddenly.

He followed Boyce’s line of sight and saw Victoria walk in from the door.

As Matthew’s friends, both of them knew that Victoria was Matthew’s stepmother.

It was because of her that Matthew had left his home so early and began to live alone.

It was also because of her that Matthew and his father’s relationship was so strained.

Naturally, they didn’t like her.

And she and Matthew barely had a familial relationship.

Seeing from a personal perspective, even though she was an outsider, if the grand clothes and makeup were taken away, Victoria looked like a very gentle and peaceful person; she didn’t look materialistic at all.

“What is she doing here?” Armand narrowed his eyes.

Boyce didn’t say anything but he felt that it was not a good thing that she had come here.

She looked to be in poor health, her face looked haggard. She had put on a light layer of makeup to hide it.

Theresa went over to welcome her, “Hello!”

“I’m looking for…”

Just at this time, Dolores came over. The last time she had met her, she had said that she was going to invite her to the opening. Dolores had sent her an invitation but she hadn’t expected for her to arrive there so early even before the actual ceremony.

“You came.” Dolores greeted her with a smile.

“Of course.” She didn’t plan to stay long and had come here early on purpose to avoid running into Matthew. She was afraid that if he found out she came here, he was not going to be happy.

“Can I sit with you alone for a moment?”

There was still time before the event, so Dolores agreed, “Okay, come with me.”

Dolores walked away leading the way.

Victoria deliberately walked slowly, looking at Dolores slender back looking beautiful in the pink gown.

She didn’t look like she had ever given birth, and looked very young.

She thought inwardly that even though her son was perfect, her daughter-in-law was not any lesser.

Especially after knowing that she had given birth to twins for her son, she liked her even more.

Although the test results had not come out yet, she already knew that they were Matthew’s children.

Dolores pushed through the meeting room door, then turned around and said to Victoria, “This room is quiet.”

“Okay.” Victoria walked in and sat on the sofa.

Dolores poured her a glass of water and then sat down on the sofa opposite to her.

No matter how Victoria looked at her, she still found her very pretty.

Dolores was a little embarrassed by her gaze, so she started to talk, “How are you? Your face doesn’t look very good.”

Victoria came out of her trance and said, “I have a light cold.”
