Dolores found a quiet place after her own heart with Oscarâs help and settled in C-Town.
After settling down, she called Mrs. William and told her that she wanted to close the clothing store in City B and quit the business.
A lot had happened to Dolores since she retired to City B for so long. She had no time to manage the clothing store.
The clothing store business was also poor. Also, she was not in B-Town, so she did not want to continue the business.
Mrs. William had heard Allison say what had happened to Dolores, so she understood Doloresâ situation and agreed to her request.
She also had no choice but to leave the business at that time.
Mrs. William asked Dolores if she would return to work as a fashion designer at LEO Corporation.
Dolores said she was not going back to work at LEO Corporation.
She was busy lately because what she wanted to do was not easy, so she could not continue to work as a fashion designer at LEO Corporation.
She could only disappoint Mrs. William, who appreciated her ability.
She became a professional and well-known fashion designer thanks to Mrs. Williamâs cultivation of talent.
Williamâs cultivation of talent.
Although Dolores sought out Oscar, she used her own money for expenses instead of those left to her by Jolene. She even bought the present lodging at her own expense. She used to have a lot of savings that were originally for the two children, but Dolores used them for something else.
However, she was willing and wanted to do something for the Harris Family. People didnât figure nonsense when she was busy doing something, and the times were passing quickly, too.
In the blink of an eye, Dolores had been in C-Town for a month. Samuel and Simona got used to living in C-Town.
Dolores enrolled Samuel and Simona in a preschool class so they could quickly adjust to the future of elementary school life and learning status.
Theresa had returned this month. She had a big difference in her appearance, but seemed to be doing quite well.
Theresa didnât ask about Armand as if she had never met Armand in her life.
Dolores didnât know if Theresa had put the past behind her or if she still had a knot in her heart. Theresa didnât ask about Armand and Dolores didnât mention him in front of her either.
There was no time for busy people to dive into love.
âEmbroidery is not an easy job,â Theresa looked at the embroiderer who was stitching a phoenix on the watered gauze, stitch by stitch.
She frowned slightly and thought to herself, âWhen will this phoenix be embroidered? The embroiderer has been stitching the phoenix for half a month and the embroidery on the phoenix is only half done. There is still so much to be done.â
Theresa figured it would take at least half a year to make a hand-embroidered dress.
âThe chiffon is too thin and canât be machine embroidered. Embroidery is not as realistic as hand embroidery,â Dolores wore a light green dress that showed off her thin white arms, as it was summer and hot.
She opened an embroidery store this month, and it wasnât just her ultimate goal. She wanted to bring out the watered chiffon in some particular way and went into prosperity as it used to be.
Theresa knew Doloresâ intention, but she was a little anxious: âThere are now twelve pieces that need a lot of embroidery. Itâs a huge undertaking. Iâm afraid it will take two years to finish it with just these few embroiderers.â
Dolores raised her eyes to look at her and said with a smile, âDonât worry. We will soon have more embroiderers to work here.â
Dolores had asked Oscar to look for good embroiderers all over the country because she knew it was not easy to find a good embroiderer. What a coincidence! Dolores received a call from Oscar this morning, telling her that he had found nine embroiderers with excellent craftsmanship.
The embroiderers would be arriving at the store in the next few days.
A month is neither a long nor a short period, and in this period many things would happen, such as Dolores had settled in City C and was working on what she wanted to do steadily and continuously.
In City B many things had happened in this time, and one of them was about Eddieâs affair. Upon investigation, the evidence was overwhelming that Eddie had sent a prisoner to kill Maria back then.
The case was tried in private. Eddie was released from his post. He was about to retire in the next few years, and could gain fame and wealth. However, he made a fool of himself and ultimately paid for his foolish behavior. It was not worth the candle.
There was considerable progress in the car accident in which Boyce caught the participant who ran away home.
The participant was locked in an abandoned factory in the suburbs.
Boyce tied the man to the beam. I should call him a boy and not a man. He looked like an underage boy, short and thin, with yellow hair. The boy looked at Boyce with panicked eyes, âWho are you? Why did you bring me here?â
Boyce didnât like to talk nonsense with such people and showed him a picture of a man who kidnapped Dolores and was hit by a car and killed.
The man in the picture was the guyâs cousin.
âYou know the man in the picture, donât you?â said Boyce casually.
âI must know all about you if I brought you in. Youâve been following your cousin to be a street gangster since you were fifteen. Even though you donât have a felony record, you have a lot of misdemeanor records. Youâd better tell me the truth honestly. Otherwise, you will suffer in the flesh and then go to jail.â
The guy grew up in the mountains. He didnât finish elementary school and followed his cousin to be a street gangster. None of the factories wanted to hire a child laborer as young as he was. So he followed his cousin to be a street gangster for a long time. There were a dozen people who followed him to live and make money by helping people make things.
âYou know how your cousin died, right? What I want to know is who hired you guys to kidnap Dolores that day,â Boyce asked again.
âWill you let me go after I tell you everything I know?â the guy didnât experience the storm and violent wave stuff, he couldnât resist such pressure. So he consciously confessed without Boyce getting physical with him.
Boyce didnât want to listen immediately, âWait a minute. Save it for later.â
Boyce placed a call to Matthew, and Matthew was due to arrive shortly. He wanted Matthew to hear what the guy said, so he wouldnât have to relay the information to Matthew.
