Chapter 442: Chapter 442



.

This time Dolores didn’t swallow the water, even though they were being so intimate, she still felt a little embarrassed, but soon enough the feeling passed. She leaned over and touched his lips, giving him the water in her mouth.

Matthew opened his eyes and looked at the face that was so close to him, his eyes were full of tears, but the pair of eyes became clear and deep again as Dolores stood up and looked at him.

He curved the corners of his lips and hugged her, “Sleep with me.”

Dolores lay back and leaned into his arms, his arms were strong and encircled her slender body tightly.

The rain outside the window was still heavy, as if it would only stop until it flooded the whole city.

During the night, Dolores slowly fell asleep in Matthew’s arms.

However, Matthew didn’t feel sleepy at all, he looked outside the window, which was darkened.

After the whole night of rain, the air in the whole city became extremely cool, birds were chirping in the branches.

When Matthew woke up, Dolores was still sound asleep, maybe it was because of the pregnancy, maybe because she had slept too late yesterday. At the moment she was still sleeping soundly with no sign of waking up.

Matthew stroked her cheeks, she was suddenly surprised when he caressed her lips inadvertently, her face shadowed and even the emotion in her eyes was not as soft as it was now. Dolores moved because she felt a little itchy, his palm was warm, so she rubbed against his palm like a kitten. Matthew’s eyes that had cooled a moment ago, became warm again, then he leaned down and kissed her on the forehead.

Dolores, who was still inside her pajamas, didn’t notice at all.

Matthew lifted the blanket and gently got out of bed, went to the sink to wash and put on his suit. He looked at Dolores in bed when he came out of the sink, she was still sound asleep. Then he saw the phone next to the pillow, she seemed to have received a message last night.

Who had sent the message?

She walked over and picked up the phone, Dolores had not put any password on her phone, so she could open it with a swipe of her finger. She clicked on the list of messages, the first message was from Charles White.

Her eyes darkened and her fingers paused for a moment, then she continued to open the message, “Goodbye, I’m gone.”

The message wasn’t ambiguous, the message wasn’t to confess either, so it didn’t make him angry, but the things that had happened last night still made him uncomfortable.

He slid the phone back to the home screen, then put the phone back in its original position and went downstairs. Coral had finished preparing the food, Matthew came out after grabbing a few bites, he said to Coral before leaving, “Don’t wake her up, let her sleep longer. Prepare something for her earlier, she might be hungry when she wakes up.”

Coral smiled and pointed out, “Yesterday, she…”.

Matthew pondered for a while and said, “I miss the two kids, so she went to visit them, it’s okay.”

He didn’t want to talk about this matter anymore.

Coral laughed and said, “It’s okay.”

Coral was just worried about her health condition, something else had happened last night, so she had spoken to Matthew.

“I’m going.” Matthew took the car key and went out.

Last night when Armand and Abbott had come down, they hadn’t seen Dolores and Boyce, so they had asked Coral, “Where are they?”

Coral said she didn’t know, so they didn’t ask any more, didn’t go on and left since no one was home. Only Coral knew that Matthew had gone out last night and had told her not to tell anyone.

She could only be discreet.

Walking out the front door, Matthew pulled out his phone and called Boyce as he hit the unlock button on the car key. He unlocked the door and got into the car, the call was answered, he sat in the car and closed the door, “Have they found out the cause of Maria Herbert’s death?”

“The official reason given is suicide, but I have found some evidence to show that it is a homicide. I am now at the prison to find out who the murderer is.” The lab report of the substance under Mary’s fingernails had already come out, it was the skin tissue of the human body, there was also hair loss phenomenon, these were enough to say that it was not simply suicide.

Maybe she had fought with someone before she died, the skin tissue under her nails maybe she had gotten it from the person’s skin when she scratched her during the fight. As for the hair loss phenomenon, it could be due to the killer pulling his hair.

When Matthew heard the news of her death, he knew there was something wrong. If he wanted to die, he wouldn’t have waited until now to kill himself.

“Call me when there’s a result.” When Matthew wanted to hang up the phone after telling this, Boyce stopped him, “There really is a person behind the person you’ve let me stalk, it’s Landon Herbert. The people stalking him have witnessed his meeting, I have also confirmed it, the reason why he can become a policeman is because of the power of the Herbert Family. However, the B City police station is full of hidden power, the Herbert Family does not have enough power to drive him.” “I see, ask them to come back.”

“Okay.”

Matthew put the phone on the center console after hanging up the phone, started the car and drove off.

There were many puddles on the ground from last night’s rain, the tires were running over the puddles causing water to splash on the body of the car.

His fingers were long, well proportioned and with obvious knuckles, while the nails were neatly and cleanly cut. He was so elegant that he looked good even when just holding the steering.

The car moved fast, but steadily, soon coming to a stop in the parking lot below the company. He stepped into the elevator that sent him directly to the top floor office, he stepped out of the elevator as it stopped.

Abbott Baron was holding the documents in his arms, preparing to send them to Matthew’s office for his signature and review. Abbott saw that Matthew was here, so he turned to him, “Mr. Nelson.”

Abbott didn’t mention anything about the matter of Dolores being out last night because Boyce had called him to keep it a secret, Boyce said he had been told by Dolores.

He didn’t dare ask.

Matthew nodded slightly, he only had one button fastened on his black suit, he slipped one of his hands into his pocket and walked towards his office as he said, “Send the documents I let you investigate last time to my office.”

When they were in White City last time, he had let Abbott investigate the White Group.

Matthew knew the White Group slightly, but it wasn’t deep enough.

Abbott didn’t dare ask too much of a question as to why Matthew wanted the documents on the White Group at this time, he could only go by what Matthew told him.

Matthew pushed open the door to his office, Abbott placed the documents in his hand on the desk, “I’ll get the document now.”

Abbott trotted out of the office to get the document.

Matthew unbuttoned one of the buttons on his sleeve with one hand, then pulled the executive chair closer to the desk and sat down. He opened and read the documents Abbott had sent, then signed artfully at the bottom after confirming that there was no problem.

After a while, Abbott brought the documents about the White Group into the office, then placed them on the desk.

Matthew handed Abbott the documents he had finished reading.

Abbott picked up the documents, while Matthew took the documents about the White Group without raising his head, “Wait.”

Abbott stood in front of the desk, waiting for his order.

About half an hour later, Matthew had fully understood the White Group’s business. The reason why the White Group could solve the problems of so many people working in White City was because there were physical factories for the business and semiconductor sectors under them, the land area was huge, and the number of workers had reached over twenty thousand. Their businesses were famous and sold both at home and abroad, the main point was that they had their own equipment to develop the smart locks and recycling materials, they did great work on the anti-theft system and were environmentally friendly.

This was also the reason why they could continue to develop strongly.

Matthew thought of all the domestic companies in his mind, finally he chose two of them, “I remember Kenneth Tyrone’s brother-in-law is also in semiconductors?”

Abbott nodded, “Yes, he’s also the best in the country.”

“Help me ask him and Mr. Weiss out.”

“Mr. Weiss?” Abbott was momentarily puzzled, they didn’t have any business interaction with Mr. Weiss did they?

“The one who came to do the financing last time.” Matthew recalled.

“Oh, isn’t he the one who spins that company? It was just a door manufacturing company.” Matthew had declined outright during that time.

Matthew reached back and tugged on his collar, looking a little impatient.

“I’ll go now.” Abbott held the documents in his arms and walked away.

Abbott was afraid he would be angry .
