Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 853

Jasmine was stunned by the amount of money. She was dazed for a moment.

There must be something fishy for someone to give so much money. She forced herself to calm down and she knew that she had to inform Boyce. She looked for her cellphone and her hands trembled and dropped the cellphone onto the ground.

She squatted to pick up the phone but the screen had shattered. She was still able to make the call but Boyce’s cellphone had been turned off.

She frowned at the unexpected turn of events. What should she do now? What if this money brought trouble to Boyce? She began to become flustered and her mind was in a daze. It was her carelessness that caused this situation. What if this caused trouble for Boyce? She shuddered to think of the consequences…

She sat on the floor in desperation and wondered who she should look for. She did not dare to do anything rash now and needed someone with who she could discuss this. After a moment, she thought of Dolores. Matthew was so intelligent and should know what to do in such a situation. Hence, she gave Dolores a call.

The weather was lovely today and Dolores took her baby to the park for a stroll.

Kevin was supporting Jayden as they strolled and remarked, “Look at how time flies. More than half of the year had passed and it’s almost the mid-autumn festival.”

Jayden looked up to the trees and indeed some of the leaves had started to turn yellow. Once winter arrived, the Chinese New Year would come next. The leaves would grow again at every spring but once a man had passed on, he would leave the earth forever.

He was not afraid of death but when he pondered about it, he still felt rather apprehensive.

Kevin said, “Autumn is here, every season brings its beauty and also its loneliness.”

Dolores said soon after, “The weather is also becoming colder. Uncle, you need to wear warmer clothes.”

Kevin smiled.

Her phone began to ring and Jessica handed her cellphone to her and said, “You have a call.”

Dolores placed the child into the pram and covered the baby with a blanket. Thereafter she took over the phone and it was Jasmine who called her. Why did Jasmine call her?

As soon as she answered the call, Jasmine said anxiously, “Dolores, I made a mistake.”

Dolores was puzzled and asked, “What happened? Calm down and explain it to me.”

Jasmine composed herself and said, “Yesterday after work I met someone who was looking for Boyce. He gave me a box of apples for Boyce. Today when I opened it, there were no apples but instead, it was filled with money. Dolores, what should I do? I’m so frightened now and I don’t know what I should do.”

Dolores could understand her anxiety. Who would give Boyce so much money? Boyce just had a promotion. Someone could be setting him up by sending him this money. It would definitely affect Boyce if this was not handled properly.

“Have you informed Boyce? What did he say?” Dolores asked.

“His cellphone is turned off. I can’t reach him. Dolores, can you suggest what I should do?”

“Don’t panic.” Dolores pondered and then asked, “Where are you now?”

“I’m at home.” Jasmine quickly replied.

“Okay, I’ll head over to you. Wait at home for me.” Dolores said.

Jasmine acknowledged and ended the call.

She looked towards Jessica and asked, “Mom, can you take care of the baby?”

Jessica nodded and asked, “Do you have something on?”

Dolores nodded and then walked off. Jayden looked at her and said, “Drive carefully.”

Dolores thanked him for his concern. She went home to take the car keys and headed to Jasmine’s house.

As Jasmine sat on the sofa, she occasionally would look towards the box of money and her stomach would churn. Soon, someone knocked on the door and she went to open the door.

Dolores entered the apartment and Jasmine pointed to the box and said, “I thought that it was a box of apples and accepted it as it wasn’t anything significant. I didn’t expect it to be…”

Dolores patted her on her shoulders and said, “This person hid the fact that it was money clearly he knew that you would not accept it if he had said what it was.”
