Snare of Love novel Chapter 136

In rich and powerful families, affection towards a member depended on the benefits they bring. Similarly, it wasn’t that he was afraid of affecting his daughter’s reputation, he was actually afraid of affecting the reputation of the Herbert family.

“Look at the friendship between the two families; Maria was with you once. Please give her a chance to turn over a new leaf. After all…”

Landon didn’t finish his sentence. After all Matthew had really ruined Maria for life.

When he thought about Matthew’s relentless effort to force them to this point, Landon’s blood boiled with anger and he wanted to strangle Matthew right then.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t, it was just that he didn’t have enough power to do so.

It was only his children to blame for trying to gain advantage but ending up harming themselves.

At this age, he still had to bow down to Matthew, who was so much younger than him, and feel humiliated.

Matthew’s face was blank, his expressions didn’t change at all as he closed his eyes. He muttered irresolutely to himself before slowly opening his eyes, “I don’t want to hear another word about this ever again.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Do I have a relationship with your daughter?”

Landon wanted to but he couldn’t refute it and said coldly, “I will never mention this again in the future. Don’t worry, I am a reasonable person. It is my own two children who didn’t live up to my expectations. I can’t blame anyone else.”

At this moment, the door of the reception room was knocked. Abbott pushed open the door and walked in. He leaned close to Matthew’s ear and said, “Armand and Terry are here.”

Without looking at Landon, Matthew ordered Abbott, “Give him the original copy of the video.”

After saying that, he got up and left.

Landon was overjoyed that the matter was resolved.

He hadn’t been able to sleep or eat well for the last few days and was completely exhausted. The heavy burden on his heart was finally lifted.

“Wait a minute.” Landon was clearly not like the people who used flattery to win, but he wasn’t also the tough unyielding kind. He expressed his dissatisfaction about the whole thing, “There was no bad blood between our families. Maria did wrong but you have done way more in retaliation. Now, things between us don’t look so good, who can say that our families will continue to be friends?”

Matthew turned around slowly; his eyes showed no change of emotions. His indifferent and cold face looked gorgeous in all it’s seriousness; the chill he emanated from his body was enough to make people shiver.

He chuckled lightly, “I’ll just wait and see!”

After saying that, he continued to walk away.

The air in the room was quiet for two seconds, and then Abbott placed the original copy of the video on the table and looked up at Landon, “You are sensible enough to know that the worldly affairs are always fickle. No one knows what might happen tomorrow, or how many cards are actually in your opponent’s hands.”

Landon frowned, “What do you mean?”

Abbott smiled, “I just think that your words were too incisive just now, Mr. Herbert.”

“Did I say anything wrong?” Landon asked rhetorically.

Wasn’t Matthew being aggressive first?

“No.” Abbott did not continue to humor him, he gestured politely towards the door, “Let me show you to the way out.”

Landon’s expressions looked dark as he stood up.

Abbott pretended that he didn’t notice his anger, but in his heart, he thought it was not unreasonable that the Herbert family was going to fall soon. Landon’s two sons had no talent for doing business and even Landon himself wasn’t much better.

In the president’s office, Armand leaned leisurely on Matthew’s desk, turning the globe on the desk around again and again, looking bored. He frowned and shouted at the door, “Where did Matthew go? Did he fall into the toilet and got stuck? Why is he making me wait so long…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the door opened.

His voice was so loud, Matthew must have heard it.

He jumped off the table and laughed resentfully, “I didn’t say anything. You… you didn’t hear anything bad about you, did you?”

Matthew ignored him lightly, “Can’t you have a little dignity?”

Armand touched his handsome face, “With my looks, who needs dignity?”

Terry stood to the side, not daring to talk. Armand had really ruined his perception of lawyers. He had never seen such a silly and amusing lawyer.

Armand became serious and deliberately changed the topic to save himself from further humiliation, “As for the car accident, I have already written a complaint. When will it be filed?”

Terry’s eyes widened as he waited for Matthew’s answer.

This was what he had always wanted to do, and now he could finally ask for an explanation for his brother’s death and make sure that the person who killed his brother was punished.
