Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 156

Maria seemed to know what they were there for. She had known that this day was going to come someday but she hadn’t expected to arrive so soon.

“Why do you care what I laugh at?” She suppressed her laughter.

In Boyce’s eyes she suddenly looked like a lunatic.

“Where is Dolores?” A gloomy voice came from the darkness.

“How would I know where she is?” Maria smiled, “Why? You can’t find her? Did she and that man elope…”

She hadn’t even finished her sentence when she felt a strong wind whoosh past her and a pair of iron clad hands choked her around her neck, making her unfinished words stuck in her throat.

Her face flushed as she struggled to breathe.

“Tell me, where is she?” His eyes were red. Dolores going missing had left him heartbroken and void of any humanity and emotions of protection.

Seeing Matthew so angry because of Dolores, Maria wanted to laugh.

However, the laughter that squeezed out of her throat was like broken bellows and unpleasant to hear.

Matthew gathered his strength and pressed harder almost choking any space from where she could breathe. If she had still refused to say anything, he would have strangled her to death!

Boyce saw her being strangled to death and realized that this was not right.

He hurriedly persuaded, “It is important to find Dolores right now! We need her. If she dies, who will tell us where is Dolores?”

“If she dies, we won’t be able to find her!” Seeing him unconvinced, Boyce continued to persuade.

Even though Matthew was out of his mind right now, he could also hear Boyce’s words. Right now, it was important to find Dolores first.

He tossed her away hard. Maria fell like a parabola on the steps, knocking her forehead on the corners. After a moment of tingling pain, she could feel something warm flow down from her forehead.

Being able to breathe again, she opened her mouth wide and took huge gulps of air.

Boyce didn’t give her much time to relieve the pain of suffocation. He reached out, lifted her up and threw her into the car, “Let’s see what wins, your mouth or my skill.”

He had interrogated all kinds of prisoners. He couldn’t believe that he would be unable to make her talk.

This time Boyce quickly sat in the driver’s seat and said, “I’ll drive!”

He didn’t dare to let Matthew drive because it was too scary.

His face still gloomy, Matthew stayed quiet. Right now, he just wanted to find where Dolores was as soon as possible.

“Captain Shawn.” Just when Boyce was about to take her away, Landon walked out of the house, “Isn’t it inappropriate for you to take my daughter away like this? What crime did she commit and where is the evidence?”

He was indignant at Maria for always causing trouble, but to see her being taken away like this felt like a slap on the whole Herbert family’s face.

He didn’t come to save Maria, but to save the Herbert family’s reputation.

“You can be rest assured. I don’t catch an innocent person by mistake and of course, I won’t let a criminal off the hook. If I catch the wrong person, I will personally come to apologize.”

Saying that, Boyce stepped on the gas. The car passed Landon like a rocket with a whoosh of wind and quickly disappeared from his sight.

Warner stood beside Landon, “Did something happen this time?”

He was uncertain.

Landon was also unsure, “You go find out what happened this time.”

He seemed to have no strength left to be angry.

“Okay, I will go figure it out as soon as possible.” After saying that Warner went inside the house to change his clothes.

On the other side, Maria was taken into an interrogation room.

There was a white fluorescent bulb flickering from the ceiling. The room was small with a table in the middle and Maria was handcuffed to the opposite seat.

Boyce showed her a video of Beulah Shawn, “Tell me, why did you go to find her?”

“This person is wearing a mask. How can you say this is me?” Maria was surprisingly calm.
