Chapter 868: Chapter 868



.

Dolores, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke in her sleep. Her voice was too small and Matthew could not hear her clearly. He put his ear close to her lips and this time he could hear her. She was calling his name.

Matthew took her hand and whispered, “I’m here.”

Dolores couldn’t hear him and called back, “Matthew…”.

Matthew lay down on the edge of the bed and hugged her. The embrace felt very familiar. They shared a bed every night and had become very familiar with each other.

It was his scent and she knew it. She walked over to Matthew in a daze, “Matthew, don’t be sad. I’ll stay with you.”

She didn’t open her eyes, as if she was talking in her sleep.

Matthew opened his eyes. His thick eyelashes fluttered a couple of times, and then he finally closed them. He just slept for a while and then woke up.

He was very tired these last few days. He wasn’t able to sleep even for a while, since Joshua had disappeared.

The sky outside was still dark. He helped Dolores tuck in the comforter and then touched his forehead. The fever seemed to have broken. It was no longer hot. However, he couldn’t stay with her now as he had to go find Joshua.

He looked at her lovingly, got up, went out gently and closed the door.

He went to Armand’s room after coming downstairs. She asked him not to let Dolores come back today.

Armand sensed something was wrong: “What’s wrong?”. He sat up from the bed.

The lights in the room were not on. Matthew was at the door, “Joshua is missing.”

“What!” shouted Armand unconsciously.

“Turn down the volume.” Matthew didn’t explain much, “Help me keep an eye on this place.”

Armand nodded, “Don’t worry.” Matthew said yes and left.

At about nine o’clock, he got a message from Boyce. He saw Benjamin and the woman leave the house and get into a car.

He asked Matthew if he wanted to arrest them.

Matthew asked him to continue to follow them and not to spot them.

Right now, the most important thing for him was to find Joshua first.

Boyce had been busy. He had not been idle. He was investigating the origins of the woman at Benjamin’s side.

Everything happened for a reason. There were always clues. Besides, she was a woman who liked to keep a high profile.

It took him little time to find out everything about the woman. She was a bar girl. She was a lover of many rich men before she stayed with Benjamin. Benjamin was her latest sugar daddy. She was very good at dealing with men and had made a lot of money from previous sugar daddies.

She was well known in her circles for her skill in dealing with men and for the amount of money she had gotten from them.

This time, her friends envied her when she got Benjamin as a sugar daddy. Although he was old, he was rich. She could get a lot of wealth if he died someday. Benjamin was known to be sterile, only no one openly commented on it.

Her friends thought that after he died, she would be rich and could find a young man.

“Is that idiot crazy?” scorned Abbott, thinking in his mind, “He’s found an experienced woman, but he’s been goaded into doing something stupid by the lady, does he want to die?”

He can enjoy the rest of his life in peace, but now he puts himself in danger. It is true that women are demons, for example, Emma disappeared after putting him in trouble.

“Shall we arrest her?” Abbott asked.

Isn’t Boyce stalking them?

It would be better to arrest Benjamin rather than arrest her.

However, what if he doesn’t say anything after we arrest him?

By that time, we still have to release him. After all, Joshua is still with them. This is his weakness and he didn’t dare to take the risk.

This woman likes money, how about we try to buy her with money?

Abbott came up with another idea, “We don’t have much time.”

Just then, there was news from Boyce. They went to a club to have some fun.

“We can’t seem to find Joshua stalking them.”

Abbott also saw Boyce’s message and said, “They have to make use of Joshua, they must be afraid that we will discover him, so they must hide him somewhere that is hard to find. We can only catch a random person and ask him. If the soft approach doesn’t work, we can use the hard approach. We can use coercion and bribery – how can they go on without telling the truth?”

Matthew pondered for a moment. He couldn’t come up with a better solution to get Boyce to arrest them.

At the same time, he needed to have a second plan. He asked someone to make a fake stock certificate. The real one Dolores had. If he was going to ask her for it, she would find out.

After receiving the order, Boyce changed his attire and disguised himself as if he was there to spend money, but he was ready to find an opportunity to stop them.

The woman had been following Benjamin. After playing golf for a while, she sat down on the couch to rest. She sat on Benjamin’s lap and fed him fruit, “What do you think, we can succeed…”

Before she could finish her words, Benjamin covered her mouth, “Beware of eavesdroppers.”

The woman let out a giggle. She pointed her slender fingers at his forehead, “Look how careful you are.”

Benjamin said, “That’s because you don’t know the temperament of the person with the last name Nelson.”

“Isn’t your last name Nelson too?” The woman wrapped her arms around his neck and acted flirtatiously. She was wearing a red dress that made her skin fair with a hint of red. The neckline of the dress was low enough to peek inside with a slight tilt. She used her pair of slender, clear legs to skim her body.

Benjamin put his hands on her leg, “You’re naughty even in broad daylight.”

“Don’t you like it when I do this?” the woman leaned her body, deliberately using her chest to act flirtatiously in front of him. Benjamin was old and didn’t have much energy but he enjoyed watching her act flirtatiously in front of him.

She was able to make Benjamin love her, mainly because she understood him well. Such an old man was simply impotent. However, she always pretended to enjoy it so much when she had sex with him and it made him feel fulfilled.

Benjamin slapped her buttocks and told her she was a wanker.

Instead of getting angry, the woman laughed more cheerfully.

Boyce was somewhere else but he could hear it clearly. A shiver ran down his spine, “Doesn’t he know he’s old, why isn’t he ashamed when he talks about this in broad daylight?”

“You said that, when you got the company, you would make me become president. You can’t break your promise.” The woman smiled.

The more the person who came from a poor background became upper class, the more they wanted. They felt that it was not enough to have money. They wanted to be envied and adored.

Benjamin was worried. He had lived a carefree life all these years. Last night, however, he couldn’t sleep well, especially when the alarm clock went off. He thought Matthew had brought someone to arrest him.

“Don’t worry, there will be no mistakes.” The woman was very observant, “You just said your last name is Nelson too. Why do they have to hog all the limelight? Besides, it’s not fair, you are the descendants of the Nelson Family, but they hold the power and have the majority of the shares, instead, you only have a small number of shares, why, don’t you think you are being treated unfairly?”.

Benjamin understood that his lineage did not know how to run a business, but he was moved by some of those words.

‘Even if I don’t know how to run a business, they would have given me an equal share, wouldn’t they? But then no.’

‘I’ve heard of cases overseas where someone like you could be cured. After we cure you, we can have a son and he can inherit the family business and pass it on from generation to generation, wouldn’t that be great?” The woman leaned on his shoulder, “I hope I can bear your child. If you’re sterile for the rest of your life, you’ll die without offspring and maybe someone will make fun of you and think you don’t deserve to have that twenty percent of the shares.”
