Snare of Love novel Chapter 535

Perhaps it was destiny and mortals could never influence it.

“Andrew and Amanda must be near to schooling age. Find her and spend your days with them.” The younger generation should not suffer for the sins of the elders.

Ever since Jayden knew that Dolores had left, he was constantly worried that Matthew would do something that he would regret for the rest of his life. He had already experienced how it felt to regret for life and did not want his son to suffer the same way.

“I’m not sure if she was angry with me. She had died for so long and never even visited me in my dreams.” He started to choke as he spoke and could not suppress his emotions.

Matthew did not respond and just stood by and listened.

The occasional breeze blew and the rustling of the leaves could be heard from afar.

Time ticked on and soon the sun set behind the hills which cast a long shadow over the valley. The day turned into night.

The father and son stayed in the room for the entire afternoon and no one entered the room to interrupt them. It was time for dinner when Matthew emerged from the room.

Mr. Forbis prepared dinner and the dishes were spread on the round table in the courtyard. Amanda ran over as soon as she saw Matthew and greeted, “Daddy!” Matthew gently stroked her head.

“Let’s eat.” Amanda pulled him towards the dining table.

Buzz…

At this moment, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He made Amanda sit down for dinner before answering the call. The caller was Boyce who said, “Jeffery’s judgment is out.” The accident was serious and caused three deaths and one injury. The authorities made a detailed investigation and found out that it was related to a kidnapping incident that caused the accident. Jeffery surrendered to the police and pleaded guilty to the crime. He also showed sincere remorse for his crime and so the courts were lenient to him.

“He would be sentenced to two years,” Boyce said.

During the sentencing, the judge said, “Jeffery, you violated the law as a civil servant and caused severe damage to the reputation of civil servants in the eyes of the public. Therefore, you must be severely punished. The suspect had surrendered to the police, pleaded guilty, repented, and made a sincere public apology. You were sentenced to two years with suspension and banned from public office for life.”

Matthew was not affected and did not feel any need for vengeance. He simply replied, “Okay.”

“The others had been similarly sentenced except that … Declan had not received the same sentence.”

Jeffery was looking for Declan but Jeffery was the mastermind. Declan did not look for the hooligan to hijack the car. It was his man who did it.

Initially, he wanted to frame Declan and took a picture of that man and the hooligan. He even tried to instigate the man to say that it was Declan who instructed him to do it. However, after that man was captured, he maintained his story that he was the only one who looked for the hooligan and had nothing to do with Declan. Furthermore, Old Mr. Bailey managed to find some connections to ensure that he was not charged. Someone who could operate a nightclub in that area must have very strong connections.

“After this incident, he must realize that we used him and lied to him. Would he seek revenge?” Boyce asked since Declan was not an honorable man and would bear a grudge against them.

“Keep an eye on him. We’ll discuss this when I return.”

“Okay.”

After he ended the call, Matthew turned to look at the kids. Both kids were having dinner under the moonlight. He agreed with what Jayden said. Even if he had revenged against Victoria, he had never thought about abandoning Dolores and the family.
