Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 500

As Armand Bernie heard Abbott Baron’s report that Jeffery Harris had come, he sneered, “Do he think he will be forgiven in this way?”

Matthew Nelson sat at his desk in silence, seemingly not expecting that Jeffery would take the initiative to admit it. Such a move was obviously showing a goodwill towards him.

Jeffery was old-fashioned and he valued his reputation. The move to retreat was brilliant and put him in a difficult position, yet ruthlessness made him to be more humane.

Boyce Shawn caught a glimpse at Armand as he didn’t agree with Armand’s statement which the reason Jeffery took the initiative to admit that was to reconcile. He looked at Matthew, “It’s better to meet him, after all he is Dolores Flores’s …”

Even if you didn’t think for others, you’ve to think for Dolores.

“She left because she didn’t want you to be embarrassed, so you should also think for her.”

Even if he was unwilling to admit it, this relationship wouldn’t be erased as Jeffery was Dolores’s uncle.

Surely Matthew could think of it since Boyce was also clear about the reasoning. He just couldn’t overcome the setbacks.

How could he just let go of the enmity of killing his mother? Because of Jeffery, he had regretted for the rest of his life.

This was a dead end, there will be a trace there and it would never disappear even after a long time.

Jeffery was dressed in plain clothes and Marina Lee helped him in. It wasn’t a long time after, but it seemed to be a lifetime ago when they met again as there were too many changes and everything has been so different.

Marina helped him to sit on the sofa and whispered, “Call me when you leave, I’ll be waiting for you outside.”

Jeffery said, “Well.”

Marina lowered her head and went out of the office. There was nothing she could say to Matthew due to this current situation, so she didn’t greet him.

After the office door was closed, the space became quiet. Then Jeffery was the one who broke the deadlock first, “Noah Harris has quit the entertainment industry and took part in the army. He must not have come to see you.”

Sean Lee who knew the ins and outs was shameless in coming out to see anyone.

“I’m here not to justify anything and not to plead with you. What I did deserves retribution and punishment, I won’t shirk it.”

It wasn’t a coincidence as Sean went to the army and he admitted everything. This was the plan that he made for himself. His relationship with Sean was always bad, thus outsiders weren’t clear about Sean’s identity. There are a few of his confidant since he had been in power for so many years, so it wasn’t difficult to get Sean in. Moreover, Sean didn’t involve in the army as his son. Even if he made a big mistake after that, it wouldn’t affect Sean.

He did this because he didn’t want the Harris family to fall because of him.

Sean went there willingly as he was clear that Jeffery must be punished accordingly in order to put this matter to rest. Hence, he joined the army to carve out a niche for the Harris family so that Jeffery had no worries, stood up and admitted everything.

Jeffery knew he couldn’t blame or hate anyone. Although he was unaware of it, he had made mistake after all. Even if he just intended to arrest Victoria Forbis and didn’t want to kill her, she had died in the end because of him.

He had an unshirkable responsibility!

“Whether it’s imprisonment or disgracement, I’ve no complaints, I just want to see her once.” When he spoke, he didn’t raise his head. Until the last word, he just lifted his head to look at Matthew.

He hated Victoria, but he had never intended to kill her. If he wanted to kill her, he would have done so when he imprisoned her twenty years ago. He wouldn’t have waited until now.

The only thing he regretted was that he had stopped Jolene Harris from being stayed with the man she loved. He didn’t know Jolene would be so stubborn and was still being unwilling after marrying Jayden Nelson. He had no idea that Jayden would indulge her in such an absurd way, let her to find a woman and conceal everyone to give birth to an illegitimate son with Stanley Lennon. He never thought that the person he had hated for almost half of his life was all caused by his sister.

Word like ‘sorry’ wasn’t enough to make up for anything, so he wouldn’t say it.

Jolene not only harmed other’s lives, she had done it to him too. But what could he say? What could he say in his defence?

By chance the person was Jolene whom he had adored since he was a kid. He deserved it and he couldn’t blame anyone else.
