Dolores hadn’t expected that one of the reasons why they wanted to ruin her was that they were afraid that she would take revenge on them relying on the powers and forces of the Nelson family. She hadn’t expected this before, but now the situation was different. What they wanted to set up was not only she herself, but also the baby in her belly! It turned out that her concession was just a symbol of being weak and easily bullied in their eyes?”Even if you’ve heard it, so what?” Since the secret couldn’t be hidden anymore, Beulah decided not to continue the acting.”Yep. Who do you think you are? You are abandoned by dad. You’re just a…””Why are you so noisy early in the morning? You… Why are you here?” Randolph originally intended to reprimand them, but when he noticed Dolores’ presence, he shifted the topic. Dolores glanced over Beulah and Annabelle, and then fixated her gaze on Randolph, “You want the land of Repulse Bay, right?”Randolph was stunned for a moment, “You got it?”Beulah and Annabelle also fixated their gazes on her with great eagerness. They seemed to be very shocked as Matthew treated her quite well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given her the contract of Repulse Bay. Dolores noticed all their repressions. It looked like she had to assume Matthew’s authority as her own. She pretended to be relaxed and her face showed the shyness and happiness that always appeared on the face of a woman who was in love, “What’s wrong with him gifting me something? We’re a coupleafter all.””Impossible!” Annabelle refused to accept this. She had been brainwashing herself that what she had seen before was just an illusion. Matthew wouldn’t have feelings for Dolores! Beulah grasped Annabelle’s shoulders and shook her head, suggesting her not to be excessively emotional. If Dolores really had got the land of Repulse Bay, Randolph would definitely change his attitude towards her. The Nelson family was quite powerful after all. Undoubtedly, Randolph wanted to have some connections with the Nelson family and take advantage of these connections. In addition, Randolph’s company had encountered some problems recently. As expected, when Dolores finished the words, a long-lost smile crept onto Randolph’s face, “Have you had breakfast? If you hadn’t, what about having breakfast here before leaving?”Randolph wasn’t a person who always wore a straight face. It was just that he had never smiled at Dolores. Dolores looked at Randolph, feeling bitter and sad. Seeing that he could still make use of her, he even changed his attitude towards her, right? So in his heart, she was just a person whom he could make use of? This was her biological father! How ironic!”I’ve had breakfast. I’m just coming to inform you to pack up my mom’s dowries and my belongings. I’ll send you the contract tomorrow.”After finishing the words, she turned around and went downstairs. Maybe the pain in her heart was sharp enough for her to forget the pain on her knees. Randolph caught up to her, “Come back. You haven’t had a meal at home. Leave after having breakfast here.”Dolores turned around and looked into his eyes, “What the heck do you want to do again?”According to Randolph’s way of doing things, he wouldn’t care for her if he didn’t need her to do something. Being seen through, Randolph decided not to conceal his intention and said in a much gentler voice, “Lola, the company was now having some problems. Can you please ask Matthew to help me solve them?”Dolores retrieved her gaze, went downstairs with one of her hand on the handrail, and asked indifferently, “What happened to the company?””There was a collapse during the construction of one of the buildings we invested…”On the one hand, the company was facing a lawsuit; on the other hand, it had brought a great impact on the company’s reputation. The products that the company had invested in were all disgusted by the public. The company was almost unable to take back the capital. Even if Dolores gave the development rights of Repulse Bay to him, he would not have money to invest in it. So the major concern, for now, was to solve the collapse accident.?w?.?o???(s)Hom?.??mIf Matthew could help him quiet down the public opinions and use his personnel network to solve the lawsuit, he and the company would be able to get through this crisis. Dolores glanced upstairs, “I can help you, but I have a condition.”

Randolph’s expressions froze. He seemed to have not expected that she would have the other condition and wondered what it was this time. His face uncontrollably became sullen.”Rest assured. I don’t want your money. You just need to return all those that belong to me and my mom. I can help you, but…””But what…” asked Randolph.”I will help you only if you divorce Beulah.”?w?.no?l??om?.??mRandolph was thrown into a dilemma. Dolores didn’t say more about this as she wanted to see how much her father’s love for that woman was. Was that woman more important than the survival of his company?”Lora…””I won’t force you to divorce her. Agree with my condition or not, it’s up to you.” Dolores said nonchalantly. Would Randolph truly love someone? Randolph was in a dilemma, “Lora, I knew you bore grudges in your heart because I sent you away at that time. But Beulah was pregnant and the check-up showed that it was a baby boy in her belly, so I… I…””So, you sent away from me and mom. But did she give birth to a boy for you?” Dolores clenched her fists tightly. Did he know that her mother, who was sent away by him, was also pregnant back then? Because of the blow of the divorce, her mother was having a gloomy mood during the whole pregnancy, which caused the child she gave birth to later to suffer from autism later. Randolph also felt it a pity when it came to this matter, “She accidentally has a miscarriage. So it’s so unfair to her if I abandon her now…””Your company or Beulah Shawn, make a choice!” Dolores didn’t want to continue this topic with him. It would be unfair to Beulah if he divorced her because she had once been pregnant with his baby boy? Then what about her mother? Did she deserve to be abandoned? Did the boy she gave birth to deserve to suffer from autism? She was just asking him to divorce Beulah, but he hesitated due to their past? But why didn’t he hesitate considering his husband-and-wife relationship with her mom and his father- and-daughter relationship with her when he sent away from her and her mother? Dolores withstood the pain in her heart and walked out of the Flores’ Villa. At the entrance, Sampson was leaning with his back against the car. The warm light of the morning gently shone on him, making him look gentle and aloof. Dolores paused. Seeing that she was walking out of the villa, Sampson pulled open the door to the backseats, “Don’t standstill. Hurry up and get on the car.”Dolores walled over, stooped and got on the car. Sampson closed the door and seated himself in the driver’s seat. He turned his head to look at her, “Where are you going?””WY Group.” Dolores put her head against the window, “I’m working there.”Sampson furrowed his brows, “If I can get you a better job…””I work there due to my transaction with Matthew.” So she couldn’t leave the company. About twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the office building of WY Group. Sampson got off the car and walked to the door to the backseats, but Dolores had already opened the door. Seeing that he was walking towards her, she smiled, “I can do it by myself.”Sampson gave her a hand, “Don’t you know that you’ve got hurt? Take good care of yourself. Call me if there’s any problem.”Dolores nodded and got off the car. Right at this moment, a car stopped at the entrance. A tall figure got off the car and glanced over Dolores. Mathew was standing by the car and staring at Dolores coldly.???.?o(v)el?Ho?e.c??His gaze was way too unfriendly that even Sampson had noticed it. He took a step forward and stood in front of Dolores to block his gaze. Matthew had already gone bananas as Dolores hadn’t come back last night. Right at this moment, Sampson was protecting that woman in his presence. He felt the burning anger in his heart! She hadn’t come back the whole night, and it turned out that she had spent the night with this man? The more he thought of this, the angrier he became…w?W.(n)o???????.??(m)
