Snare of Love

Chapter 32: Their Intertwining Fate during that Fateful Night

“Shut up!” As soon as Sheryl began to speak, she was immediately cut off by Helen. “We are all

employees of this company, so we should try to get along with each other. She has just accidentally

spilled some water on you, but you want to drag this further. Do you think what you are doing is the

right thing?”

Sheryl opened her mouth but nothing came out of it. She was really afraid of getting exposed, but she

didn’t dare to oppose Helen at the same time too since she had the prestige in this company. Perhaps

by remaining silent, she could save herself.

Dolores silently watched the exchange between Sheryl and Helen.

She suddenly felt very cold. Not literally, but her heart was so cold as if it had been shut away in an icy

abyss.

She didn’t know that marrying Matthew would attract so many hateful women who wanted to target her.

It was originally just a simple deal on both ends, but it had brought on way too many troubles for her.

She couldn’t figure out why the others couldn’t let her carry on with her life in peace even knowing that

her marriage with Matthew was just a business deal.

Sheryl was glaring hard at Dolores at that moment.

She could only pretend not to notice her.

Sheryl probably didn’t know that she had been made the scapegoat in this little fiasco.

After a short while, Abbot stopped in front of them and informed Sheryl, “You’re fired as of now.”

Sheryl was visibly stunned, “I didn’t do that on purpose.”

“You should know very well what you have done.” Abbot turned around and swept his gaze over the

onlookers. The employees gathering around were craning their necks in anticipation to what Abbott

was going to say.

“If you want to figure out what’s going on, go to the security room and watch the surveillance video.

This is our company, not the supermarket. We don’t need an employee who’s not cooperative. I hope

everyone can keep this in mind.” After making his announcement, Abbott then tried to disperse the

crowd, “Go back to your respective positions.”

Everyone solemnly went back to their seats, including Dolores. Matthew emerged from his office and

headed towards the meeting room. At the sight of him, Sheryl immediately jogged towards him.

“Mr. Nelson, I really didn’t do that on purpose.”

Matthew didn’t want to entertain her at all as he circled around her and continued his stride towards the

meeting room.

Sheryl wanted to try again but she was stopped by Abbott, “You know very well what you have done,

and you are very familiar with Mr. Nelson’s temper.”

“But...” Sheryl wanted to explain again but she couldn’t form any coherent words.

Abbott shot her a warning glance before heading towards the meeting room himself.

Sheryl really didn’t want to lose this job. She must tried to beg in front of Helen in he hopes that she

could put in a good word for her seeing that she had a special relationship with Matthew. There must

still be some hope left.

She waited patiently in front of the meeting room.

After the hour-long meeting had ended, the door flung open and Matthew immediately came into view.

Abbott and Helen were following closely behind him.

At the sight of her, he couldn’t help but frown.

Sheryl instantly grabbed Helen’s arm and started to implore, “Ms. White, you must help me put in a

good word. I tried to make things difficult for Dolores because of you...”

“What the hell are you talking about?” Helen retorted fiercely while shoving her.

“You told me that you are not fond of her.” Sheryl couldn’t predict this drastic change in Helen’s attitude.

“I don’t like her, that’s right, but did I do anything to make her life difficult?” Helen probed.

The fact that she was not fond of Dolores was something Matthew was very clear about.

Sheryl couldn’t deny what she was saying.

Helen indeed didn’t say anything of the sort, but her words were obviously implying Sheryl to do

something to Dolores. “But...”

“You have to pay for the price of your actions.” Helen called forth the security guards, “Take her away!”

“Ms. White, I beg you to help me now. I can’t lose this job now!”

Helen didn’t budge despite her begging like that. Sheryl was spouting carelessly at the moment, which

could cause Matthew to get the full picture. That would destroy her image in Matthew’s mind.

Save her?

She didn’t care about that.

Seeing that all traces of hope were diminishing, Sheryl finally flew into a rage as she shouted at Helen,

“Helen, you are one ungrateful woman. You are just a hypocrite who has caused me to lose my job.

You will suffer the...”

“Take her away now! Don’t let her disturb the atmosphere in the office.” Abbott howled in response to

her tantrum and the security guards responded by hastening their movements. Soon, her cries slowly

disappeared in the corridors of that floor.

Matthew was tired of this turn of events. He quickened his pace as he walked forward.

Helen followed him closely from behind.

After entering the office, Helen immediately threw herself at her by wrapping her arms around his

slender waist, “Matthew, listen to me...” Her face was glued to his broad back as she continued, “Yes, I

don’t like Dolores, but that doesn’t mean that I’m the one who has ordered someone to make life

difficult for...”

Matthew lowered his head and stared at her hands which were locked around his body, “I’ve told you

that I will make our relationship official soon enough. Why are you being so impatient?”

As he said that, he pried away Helen’s arms, “Since I’ve done those intimate stuff with you, no matter

what, I will take responsibility for you. Don’t ever create trouble for her again.”

Helen was reluctant to let him go, but Matthew was too strong for her. In the end, she could only loosen

her arms. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Matthew, I really didn’t instigate that at all. Even if I have really done something wrong, I did it for your

own good. Is it wrong to display my love for you? We have been together for a while, shouldn’t you

know me well by now?” Helen looked at him with tears in her eyes, “Let alone giving up my body to

you, I can also die for you. That’s how much I love you. I really don’t want to lose you!”

There was a fluctuation on Matthew’s face, but he wasn’t thinking about her passionate words of

confession. Everything came to this because of that fateful night.

He reached out to thumb away her tears, “I didn’t even scold you, so why are you sobbing? Are you

trying to make me feel sorry for you?”

The tears broke free of her eyes as she replied with cracked voice, “I am really afraid that you will

abandon me. Since I was young, I didn’t have a family to grow up with. I was always at the orphanage,

and in order to leave that life behind, I have done my best to study and work hard to have a decent life.

Later on, a stroke of luck occurred to me when God sent you my way. You are my only family, my only

love. I can’t lose you...”

“It won’t happen. I will fulfil my promise to you.” He retrieved his hand and turned his back on her.

“Carry on with your job.”

Helen felt like she couldn’t understand him anymore.

“Matthew…”

“Go.” There was a hint of impatience in his voice. He obviously wanted to move away from this topic.

Helen had no choice but to exit his office.

Matthew’s behaviour was getting more and more baffling. It was precisely this uncertainty in him that

had caused her heart to be stirred up once again.

As she went to the bathroom, she made a call.

“Didn’t you promise me that you would have done her in? Why could she still make it to the company in

once piece?”

“I’ve failed this time.” Annabelle was also pretty frustrated.

Helen wanted to vent her anger at Annabelle, but thinking that she still need to make use of her, she

could only endure that seething fury, “How did you fail?”

“My mother and I have both been careless. We only hired one man to stand guard, yet she was able to

flee!”

Helen secretly wanted to deprecate her!

“Then do you plan to just let her go like that?”

“My mother said that she would have been very cautious after that close call. It would be difficult to

replicate that again.” Furthermore, since that fiasco in the company, Randolph was getting more and

more unfriendly towards her mother.

As of now, they had to get their hands on Randolph first.

If that incident from eight years ago repeated itself and they were being abandoned just like Jessica

and her mother, that would really spell their end.

Helen was really anxious about this matter, but unfortunately she couldn’t pull the moves herself. She

could only be patient, “Then you should hurry up.”

“Why do you sound even more nervous than me?”

Helen was slightly stunned upon hearing that. She realized that she was being too anxious, so she

immediately dismissed Annabelle’s suspicion, “No, I’m not. I’m just worried about you. How could a

woman like Dolores be worthy of Matthew? Don’t you agree with me?”

“Of course, I should be the one who marries Matthew. Dolores, that bitch, shouldn’t even stand a

chance in the first place!”

Helen flashed a cold smile on her face. If Dolores wasn’t worthy, did Annabelle naively think that she

would be worthy?

If it was not because of the fact that Helen still wanted to manipulate her, she would have hung up the

phone immediately. It was disgusting to talk to her.

“Don’t fail again next time.” After giving out a warning, Helen hung up the phone.

Two days ago...
