His indignation was growing and it almost devoured him.
He slightly curled up his lips and said coldly in a low voice, “Were the words I told you useless?” They couldn’t discern his mood from his words.
Dolores subconsciously shivered due to the chill.
“Your marriage is just a transaction. You’re not qualified to require her to do anything.” Sampson retorted in a stern voice.
“I’m unqualified. But you’re more unqualified. Trying to snatch other’s wife is not something that a gentleman should do.” Finishing speaking, he glanced at Dolores who was standing behind Sampson without even looking at him, “I’ll give you one minute.”
He then headed towards the building.
Sampson turned around to look at Dolores, “Don’t be afraid. I’m by your side. I’ll accompany you to make things clear with him.”
Dolores shook her head. She had done something wrong concerning this matter.
She had promised Matthew last time, but she broke her words.
“No need to accompany me, Sampson. You can come back first. I have to go to work.” Dolores headed towards the building. Yet Matthew had come upstairs.
Dolores also took the lift to go upstairs.
Standing at the door of Matthew’s office, Dolores calmed herself down and raised her hand to knock on the door.
“Come in.”
She pushed open the door. Just as she was about to explain why she didn’t come back last night, Matthew spoke, “Let’s end this marriage.”
He looked up at her, “One month is too long. Let’s get divorced now.”
Dolores’ lips were trembling uncontrollably. She once thought that she was a strong and brave woman, but it turned out she was not.
She was not strong and brave enough, so when she was in danger, she couldn’t save herself.
If the one she accidentally encountered last night was not Sampson, she would have failed to escape.
Maybe she would have been ruined by the person hired by Beulah and Annabelle.
Matthew didn’t want to have any entanglements with her any longer and picked up the landline phone, “Mr. Aaron, please help me draft a divorce…”
“No…” Dolores rushed over, pressed down the phone, and shook her head at him, “I didn’t do it deliberately. I didn’t come back last night because I encountered some problems…”
Matthew fixed his gaze on the dress she was wearing and smiled ironically and gloomily, exuding an imposing aura that seemed to be able to pierce into her body, “I’ll give you freedom so that you can be together with the one you really love, isn’t it good?”
She was wearing a pair of pants and a T-shirt yesterday but got changed into a dress after a night.
How crazy they were last night that even her clothes were ragged and she couldn’t wear them today?
Maybe she was somehow attracting, but she was also wanton.
This kind of woman didn’t deserve his favor.
“No.” Even if they had to get divorced, they couldn’t divorce at present.
If she lost Matthew as her backer, she would have to live at the mercy of others as she did eight years ago.
Matthew stared at her. With astonishment, panic as well as confusion on her face, she was like a bewildered and helpless deer that had lost its direction. His heart began to palpitate out of the blue. He then sneered. This woman was hooking up with the other man while trying to maintain the marriage with him?
How ridiculous!
His voice was still cold and aloof, “I will let you go so that you can be together with that man. But you said ‘no’ to this?”
Dolores was extremely perplexed and panicked, fearing that Matthew was really going to divorce her.
She suddenly had a light bulb moment when she thought of his sudden kiss before, without thinking of it, she leaned forward and kissed him on his lips.
The air surrounding them seemed to be frozen at the moment.
Matthew was dumbstruck for a moment. He looked down at the woman who was kissing him on his lips and forgot how to react.
Although she was promiscuous, she was quite inexperienced in kissing.
He was inexplicably familiar with the kiss, so he didn’t push her away in the first place. But when he finally pulled himself together, he pushed her away without any hint of hesitation.
Being caught out of the guard, Dolores took two steps backwards because of the force. Her legs buckled as her knees gave out, and she fell onto the ground. The dress was gathered up and her legs were exposed.
