Snare of Love novel Chapter 51

That pregnant lady accidentally slipped, screamed and almost fell over. It was a split second between life and death. The mother-in-law of the pregnant lady was terrified and sat there crying hysterically.

Dolores’ mind was blank and her entire body tensed up.

After a moment, she replied, “As long as you come down, I’ll give you the money that you paid for the house.”

The pregnant lady didn’t believe her, “Don’t say that just to get me down, I don’t believe you!”

“I’m not lying to you. I will really give you the money. If you don’t think of yourself, won’t you even think about the child inside your belly?” Dolores continued to convince her.

The pregnant lady seemed to be forced to her wits’ end which explained her desperation, “That’s exactly what I’m doing. I’m standing here for the sake of my child. Do you think it was easy for us to buy a house? We scraped all of our savings in an attempt to buy a house but how can I let my child live in a place that isn’t safe? We are worried that we may be buried in it if it collapses at any moment!”

Dolores knew what she was concerned about, what she was worried about and terrified of. She knew because she experienced it, “I understand, you only want to give a good home for your child. I fully understand. As long as you come down, I said that I’ll give you the money.”

“Why should I believe you? What will I do if I go down and you don’t give me the money?” The pregnant lady refused to give up.

Dolores pursed her dry lips, “I’m not lying to you. I’m Randolph’s daughter. I won’t lie to you.”

“She’s that unscrupulous businessman’s daughter?”

“You must pay your father’s debt! Return me my money!”

“Give us back our money!”

Dolores was immediately surrounded, “Return our money, return our money!”

An agitated man reached out to grab Dolores but Matthew’s reflexes were fast. He swiftly pulled Dolores into his embrace and glared sternly at that man. The man was stunned by the stare but he aggressively demanded, “Pay up what you owe, this is expected. Her father swindled our money. If her father doesn’t pay up, then she should pay!”

“That’s right, that’s right, pay for your father’s debts. If your father doesn’t show up, then you should pay for it!” Someone shouted.

Very soon everyone agreed with this demand. The place became rowdy with commotion and descended into chaos. The pregnant lady was also saved by rescuers when she became distracted.

When Abbott returned with some men, Matthew and Dolores were already blocked by the people and he wasn’t able to get to them.

Thanks to the men he brought and together with the help of the rescuers, they cleared a pathway and Matthew was able to get Dolores into the office area of the Flores Group while the people remained outside.

As the pregnant lady was brought down by the rescuers and taken through the main hall, she saw Dolores through the glass doors and broke free from the rescuers ran towards Dolores, “You said that you’ll give me the money!”

Abbott and the security held onto her and she wasn’t able to get to Dolores. She could only shout desperately at Dolores, “You said that you’ll repay me the money. If you lie to me, you’ll have a terrible death. You earned the money through unscrupulous means and will be cast into hell when you die!”

Matthew frowned and said coldly, “Throw her out.”

Abbot was about to do it when Dolores shouted at him, “Wait!”

She turned towards Matthew, “I know that you’ll think that I’m foolish to return this money. Once I do this there will be endless problems. But who would play with their lives if she wasn’t at the end of her road? All she wanted was to give her child a home and was unlucky to meet my father. Just as she said, if I don’t fulfill my promise to her, then I won’t be at peace because I fully understand her feelings…”

She understood that the pregnant woman just wanted to give her child a home. Because Dolores also wanted to give her child a complete family but it was out of her reach and may not happen in this lifetime. Dolores was very petite and thin and could be blown away by a gust of wind. But that pair of clear and bright eyes were so resolute.

It was a determination that Matthew had never seen. He was momentarily stunned and looked at Dolores but he said to Abbott, “Give her the money.”

Abbott understood immediately and looked at the pregnant lady, “Follow me.”
