Chapter 135: Chapter 135



.

She didn’t give an answer and the car drove away.

Sampson’s words had planted a seed of suspicion in Dolores’ heart for no reason.

Don’t keep giving sincerity like a fool and be blind to what’s in front of your eyes.

She was clearly referring to Matthew.

Matthew read her thoughts and scoffed.

“What are you laughing at?” She frowned.

“Are you feeling relaxed now?”

Dolores blinked without answering. After a while, she said, “No.”

She didn’t believe it; she didn’t believe it at all. She kept feeling that her words had a deeper meaning.

He pondered for a while, “About that news…forget it.”

“Did you imagine it?”

Dolores turned her head and looked out the window. The scenery that was passing quickly just like the past.

She said faintly, “Yes.”

“Okay.”

She preferred to figure it out herself without his help.

Actually, this way was good too, cutting all ties with Sampson.

The car suddenly calmed down, the two didn’t talk anymore and the atmosphere became quiet.

In between, Matthew answered Abbott’s call.

Abbott said that Landon was at the company waiting for him.

Dolores had thus decided that he had to naturally resolve the matter.

The news matter was not going to be investigated but the video was still unresolved.

He did not want his video to circulate on the internet.

The car pulled up in front of the WY Group building. Matthew got out of the car, handed Dolores the keys and said, “Go home soon.”

Dolores took the keys and nodded, “Okay.”

Watching him enter the building, Dolores sat in the driver’s seat and drove to the airport.

She looked at the time; there was still half an hour left. She arrived just in time.

Not far from the airport, she could see the plane that looked like a bird in the sky flying in the blue sky.

He parked the car in the parking lot and entered the departure hall of the airport.

As always, the airport was crowded with people, saying goodbye or gathering in tears and laughter.

“Dolores.” Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind her. She turned and saw Allison beckoning to her. She was wearing casual clothes, white sneakers with the sleeves rolled up, and carrying a suitcase behind her.

Mrs. William was standing right behind her, wearing an ivory-colored suit and a full set of sapphire jewelry looking decent and elegant.

Dolores smiled and walked over, “I’m late!”.

“Exactly, we’ve been waiting for you forever.” Complained Allison, looking behind her, “Are you alone, didn’t Samuel come to pick me up?”

“He was a little hurt and didn’t want me to leave the house, so I didn’t tell him you were coming.” Dolores didn’t know he was coming either.

Allison bumped her shoulder, “You weren’t expecting me, were you?”

“Yes.” Dolores said sincerely.

“I’m not here to help you yet.” She gave her a meaningful look and Dolores understood immediately. Allison had come because Mrs. William feared she was too busy to help her and had brought Allison to help her.

Even if Mrs. William had not brought help, she would not have been angry with her.

Her current accomplishments are due to the opportunities Mrs. William gave her.

“Mrs. William.” Dolores looked at her with great respect as her own family.

Mrs. William smiled graciously, “Come on.”

Dolores helped her with the luggage, “The car is outside.”

Dolores put the luggage in and Allison helped Mrs. William open the door.

“Dolores, you’ve gotten very rich after coming back.” Allison carefully looked over the car and checked that it was late model. She knew Dolores was very thrifty and would never buy such a luxurious car.

“This is not mine.” Dolores said.

She didn’t have the money to spare to buy a car.

Allison leaned over and said ambiguously in a gossipy tone, “Then whose car is this? Wait, don’t tell me. Let me guess.”

She thought for a while and then said, “It was given to you by a man, who is very rich, right?”.

The color and configuration of the car were quite masculine, so the person who lent it to Dolores could not be a woman.

Dolores could not afford to buy such a car.

Therefore, it had to be a wealthy man who had a good relationship with Dolores to lend her a car.

“Am I right?” asked Allison triumphantly.

Dolores pretended not to hear her, “What did you say?”

Allison caught her right away, “Why are you pretending? You heard me clearly, why don’t you want to tell me? You’re not able to find a man that fast, are you?”.

She guessed, “He could be the father of your child…”

“Allison, aren’t you tired after such a long flight, can you be quiet for a while?” Mrs. William interrupted her.

Allison didn’t know it, but Mrs. William probably guessed whose car it was. Surely that was the one that forced her to turn back.

Allison curved her lips and patted Dolores on the shoulder, “Okay, I’ll let you go this time for Mrs. William’s sake.”

“By the way, what’s the plan for today?” Allison didn’t feel tired at all from the flight and seemed excited.

“Don’t you need rest?” Dolores looked at her.

“I’m not tired.” Allison stretched, “Where’s Theresa, why didn’t she come with you to pick us up?”

“She’s in the tent.”

“Oh, then I’ll go too and get acquainted with the surroundings. You take Mrs. William to the hotel so she can rest.”

“Are you sure?” Dolores asked.

“Yes.”

Making a U-turn, Dolores changed the direction of the car and drove toward the store.

As she dropped Allison off at the store, she and Mrs. William also took a look inside the store. It was based on the design of the main store, very modest and there were no mistakes. Mrs. William was quite pleased.

ELO was her life’s work, even if it was only a branch, it did not allow any mistakes.

After the visit, Dolores took her back to the hotel to rest.

“Is there such a thing as good morning to start new things in China?” asked Mrs. William.

Dolores nodded, “Yes.”

“Then we will have to carefully choose a good day to hold the opening ceremony and follow all the customs. After all, you are Chinese too.”

“I checked and the day after tomorrow is a good day. It is advisable to move into a new house, open a business or break ground on a building.” He had been checking if it was a suitable day while supervising the store renovation, so he could open right away.

“If you’ve arranged it, then that’s great.” Mrs. William looked a little tired.

Dolores opened the door to the hotel room for her, placed her luggage inside and poured her a glass of water. “Drink some water, take a bath and rest. Tonight we’ll have dinner together.”

“Okay. Go finish the preparations.”

There were a lot of things to arrange for the opening and there wasn’t much time for Dolores to fix everything in time.

Dolores left the hotel and went to the store, picking out the invitations and decorating the store.

Since her return to China, it was the first time Dolores felt like everything was real.

In the reception room of WY Group….

“Don’t worry about the video. I will never let it leak; it will be completely destroyed.” Landon came to talk to Matthew himself.

Sampson had returned and told him that the video issue was resolved. As long as there was a press conference, he was going to take full responsibility.

The situation had evolved so far that it was impossible to clean it up in a way that no one would be punished, and no matter what they did, the reputation of the Herbert Family was never going to be restored.

Sampson was going to voluntarily admit that he had intimidated and kidnapped Samuel and was willing to take punishment.

The harshest penalty imposed by the police for intentional injury was one year and six months in jail.

Normally, it would not be that long. But, even though Samuel was not seriously injured, there was still a lot of pressure on the police and the Herbert Family did not want any more trouble, so they would sentence him harshly to ensure that the public’s concerns were put to rest.

In this way, the reputation of the Herbert Family was also going to be restored. They would not bully others and would be good law-abiding citizens. If they made a mistake, they would be punished for it more severely than normal people.

This was going to put an end to all the gossip.

“That video of Maria…” Landon suddenly stopped talking.

His meaning was clear.

“I need honesty.” Matthew said casually.

He wasn’t going to trust his words.

Was he a three year old?

Sincerity was demonstrated by actions, not words.

Landon placed the original video on the table, “There is no backup, it wasn’t saved anywhere. You can rest assured that, as unpleasant as this situation is, there is still an old friendship between the two families. I will not go back on my word.”

Matthew picked it up and looked at it for two seconds, “Don’t worry. As long as this video won’t see the light, your daughter’s video won’t leak either.”

“But…”

“Why, can’t you trust me?”

Landon was embarrassed. If the video remained in his hands, couldn’t she threaten him with it at any time?

At that moment, the feeling of being threatened by others was not good.

“Of course, I believe you, but, after all, it is related to my daughter’s reputation, so I must be vigilant.” Landon looked like a father at the moment .
