âIndeed, it was Victoria he took to see the two children, and they seemed to get along very well.â
The Forbis Family mansion was so large that it was easy to see. And the people Boyce brought this time were not only good at fighting, but also at canvassing.
It was easy to figure out where Dolores had gone today.
But they hadnât seen each other several times, so how could they suddenly be so close?
This was something Boyce had not yet figured out.
âI think the master who can make watered gauze may have a relationship with Victoria. Heâs the one who acted as a go-betweenâ¦â
Matthew shook his head. He didnât think Dolores and Victoria were linked by the master who can make watered gauze.
âTheyâve been in contact before, and she gave Dolores a jade bracelet that she said belonged to the Nelson Family. But Iâd never heard of the Nelson Family having anything like that.â
Even if the Nelson Family did have such a family jade bracelet, shouldnât it have belonged to her mother? How could it be in Victoriaâs possession?
âThen sheâs doing it on purpose. She wants to impress Miss Flores and is trying to facilitate her relationship with you. After all, she didnât have a child herselfâ¦â Boyce could think of no other reason. Victoria was a mistress, but she had not abused Matthew. At best, she married into the Nelson Family at the wrong time.
Matthew didnât think it was as simple as that. Doloresâ family was also destroyed by a mistress and her mother was deported. She would never have been so tolerant of a mistress, let alone let herself be bribed for a simple jade bracelet.
She was more reluctant to believe that Dolores was someone who could be bribed with money.
Ga ln ovels . com fuels your imagination âYouâll pretend you know nothing about this.â His face shadowed in the bright light.
Heâd like to see how long Dolores could keep it from him.
If Dolores came clean with him, he wouldnât blame her, let alone be angry with her.
After all, they each had their own ideas and views.
He never wanted Dolores to take his side.
He was angry that Dolores was hiding something from him.
In his mind, hiding something meant distrust.
Dolores didnât trust him!
She didnât even trust him, so how could she love him?
Boyce answered and didnât dare say more. It was evident that Matthew was in a bad mood and he dared not persuade him. He was sure he must have a balance in his mind to be able to weigh this matter.
Matthew wanted to be alone at the moment, but thinking of the two children, he decided to go back first. Boyce went to turn off the car lights.
They went back the way they had come.
âI think Miss Flores may have her reasons for doing this. Itâs hard for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along. Maybe sheâs trying to get along with your family.â Boyce kept wanting to persuade him.
This might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Dolores might have approached Victoria for him.
Matthew didnât respond. He had his own considerations. From what he knew of Dolores, she was definitely not the type of person who would suck up to others.
âMr. Nelson, would you like to have a chat with me?â Charles was standing in the doorway in his wheelchair and appeared to be waiting for him.
When he saw him and Boyce approaching, he spoke.
Matthew winked at Boyce and told him to go ahead. He would like to hear what Charles had to say.
Boyce looked at Charles and walked out into the yard.
Charles turned his wheelchair and walked toward the river. The trickling stream glistened as if the stars had fallen and were peering out over the river to look out over the landscape of the world.
âMr. White, what do you want to talk to me about?â Matthew stood by the river with his hands in his pockets, the river reflecting his slender body.
Charles was looking at the water, while his hands couldnât help but clench. He too was a tall man, but now he had to live his life in a wheelchair.
It would be a lie to say he never felt sad.
No one cared that he was a cripple.
âMr. Nelson, how about I tell you a story?â Charles bowed his head.
He didnât like to look at people, but now he had to.
Matthew seemed dissatisfied and gave him an indifferent look, âSince youâre interested, Iâm all ears.â
Charles looked up at the sky and pondered for a moment, âSurely youâve investigated my identity, havenât you?â
Although he was asking him, his tone was affirmative.
Matthew didnât deny it. He did know something about Charles.
He asked Abbott to look into it.
Charles was an orphan and was adopted by Nathan. After Nathanâs death, he took over the White Group.
He was lucky to know Nathan.
Otherwise, how could it be so easy for him to have the current identity and social status?
It was not credible to start with nothing. In this world, if a person had no background, it was simply impossible for him to be successful overnight.
And at his age, he would not be where he was today.
He found a picture of Nathan on his phone and showed it to Matthew, âThis is my foster father, Nathan.â
Matthew looked at it. He wasnât interested in it, and figured Charles must have had a purpose for showing it to him.
âDid you notice that heâs missing two fingers?â
His pinky and ring finger had been cut off.
Matthew narrowed his eyes slightly, âWhat are you trying to say?â
âHe wasnât born without two fingers. They were cut off.â
After being adopted by Nathan, Charles had followed Nathan to learn how to run a business. Later, when he grew up, he wondered why this man did not marry or have children, but adopted him.
According to his social status, even if he had lost two fingers, it was easy for him to find a woman. He was sure that many women wanted to marry him.
Later he discovered that Nathan did not marry because he always had a woman in his heart.
That woman was Victoria.
Then he became ill. As he was dying, he told Charles that he regretted one thing in his life, and that was that he had lost the love of his life.
Charles recalled when he held her hand and left her his dying wish: âI knew when I had the baby, we wouldnât get back together. He said he liked little girls, and I think he will definitely give birth to a daughter. In the future, I just hope you will marry her daughter and treat her well. Think of it as compensation for my last wish in this lifeâ¦â
He was not destined to be with Victoria in this life and hoped that his adopted son could marry Victoriaâs daughter.
It could also be seen as the renewal of his destiny.
The heartbeat detector beeped in a straight line.
Nathan died after leaving these words.
He never understood what Nathan said about Victoria giving birth to a child. And where did the baby she gave birth to go?
After Nathanâs death, he researched Victoria and learned that she had married Jayden and had never had a child in her life.
âOnce, my foster father was held captive for six years, and thatâs when his fingers were cut off.â Six years was no small thing. Why was his adoptive father imprisoned and that person brutally cut off his fingers?
It seemed that someone had deliberately hidden the past, and what he could find out was really limited.
He lured Matthew here because he wanted him to look into this matter.
Nathan raised him and gave him the entire White Family. He was grateful to Nathan for raising him and wanted to avenge his adoptive father.
But he was alone.
The White Family was not just any family. The man had been able to hold him captive and keep anyone from finding out. He could imagine how terrifying that personâs strength was.
Even today, he might not be that personâs opponent.
If he guessed correctly, Matthew had most likely been born with Victoria.
Of course, he had no proof, and it was still only his guess.
However, now that Matthew was involved, he didnât think he could get away with it.
With her strength, it wouldnât be long before she discovered the truth about what happened back then.
