Snare of Love

Chapter 714 Armand’s Idea

Boyce said, “Not sure about it, perhaps.”

The lift came to a halt at the moment. Both of them walked towards Matthew’s office. Probably because

Matthew had informed earlier, the secretary said when she saw both of them coming, “Mr. Nelson is in

his office. He said that you can go to find him directly when you come.”

Boyce nodded and said, “Got it.”

Boyce pushed the door when he reached the office. He thought that it was just Matthew, but he did not

expect Dolores to be there too. So, he greeted Dolores.

Dolores smiled and nodded, “Please come in.”

Matthew put down the work in his hand and walked over. He let both of them sit down.

Abbott realized that he still had the woman’s bag in his hand, which he had just forgotten to put outside

at the doorway. It seemed that he was unable to go out now.

He hid the bag behind his back.

Dolores noticed Abbott’s movement. She saw the bag in his hand and said with a smile, “Does it

belong to Ms. Bailey?”

Abbott turned pale instantly. How did Dolores know about Emma?

Dolores addressed her as Ms. Bailey, so she obviously knew her.

How did she know?

“Missus…”

“I was on NH Road today and saw you and Ms. Bailey arguing on the roadside. Is there any conflict?”

“No, it is not like that.” Abbott explained hurriedly, “Things aren’t like the way you think. She is the one

who pestered me…”

“Why is she pestering you?” Matthew spoke steadily.

Abbott pursed his lips as he found it difficult to explain.

Matthew was slightly impatient as he was exasperated by Abbott’s stammering look. He disliked people

who spoke incoherently the most.

“Aren’t you going to say anything?”

Boyce was also surprised that he and Emma had gotten together. Boyce touched him, “Why don’t you

tell us, what is going on?”

Abbott gritted his teeth and confessed to Matthew, “She, she tricked me and wanted to make use of me

to provoke your couple relationship. When I refused, she threatened me…”

“How did she threaten you?” Boyce asked curiously.

In fact, everybody cast a curious look at Abbott and waited for his answer.

Abbott wished that he could find a hole to hide in. It was really embarrassing.

It was so difficult to describe.

Boyce frowned, “Abbott, when do you become so sluggish?”

Abbott glared at Boyce and thought that he could not describe it too if this had happened to him!

“How can we help you out if you don’t say anything? Do you think resigning is the best option?”

Matthew pulled at his collar and he looked slightly agitated.

Dolores got up and went to pour him a glass of water. He took it over and have a sip. When he put it on

the table, he lifted his eyes and looked at Abbott, “You have been with me for so long. You should know

my temper. If you have really decided to leave, I won’t stop you. But if you’re being pestered by Emma

just because of me, I hope you will be honest about that.”

It was obvious that Abbott being pestered by Emma until his resignation must have some relationship

with Matthew. Declan had just been sentenced to prison, so she must have resentment in her heart.

Matthew understood, otherwise she would not have sent those messages to Dolores.

“Do you know that she sent those messages to Dolores?”

Abbott gathered his courage and said, “Yes, I made love with her. She took pictures of me in bed and

threatened me. If I didn’t agree with her, she was going to expose the pictures. I definitely wouldn’t

betray you, so I had no choice but to leave.”

Poof…

Boyce almost laughed out but he restrained his emotions hurriedly.

He was amused by Abbott’s remark about the pictures in bed.

He was an adult and was being threatened by a woman with his pictures in bed?

Boyce held his forehead.

“Just laugh if you want to laugh. Don’t hold it in!” Abbott glared at him.

“Who wants to laugh?” Boyce immediately became serious, “What are you going to do?”

Abbott looked sorrowful, “What can I do? I can only avoid her. Isn’t she thinking of harming people? But

she doesn’t harm anybody. I can’t sue her or send her to jail.”

This was indeed a headache.

“An eye for an eye. How she has tricked you, you just trick her back. She is a woman and she is more

shameful than you.” Boyce said.

Abbott showed an ugly look, “What kind of stupid ideas are you coming up with?”

“Then what can you do? She still wants to harm people but she hasn’t harmed anybody yet, so you

can’t do anything to her. But she is obviously a time bomb and you don’t know when she is going to

harm people. She won’t listen to you unless you find her weakness.” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Boyce was right.

Everybody understood this point.

They could do nothing to her for the time being although they knew she did not have good intentions.

Matthew was going to take Dolores abroad today. So, he did not have time to deal with her either. He

pondered for a moment, “Abbott.”

Abbott answered immediately.

“I’m going abroad for a trip today. I’m still not sure when I will be back exactly. Do me a favour by

calming down her first. I will also find somebody to monitor her every move.” He turned his head and

looked at Boyce after saying that, “You will stay at the villa when I’m not around.”

“Why are you going abroad at this moment?” Boyce asked.

He was obviously very surprised.

Matthew did not elaborate much and he only said that there was something to handle.

“Don’t worry.” Boyce said, “It will be inconvenient when you’re abroad. So, leave the task of monitoring

Emma to me as well.”

“Emma’s matter should still be handled by me.” Abbott knew that Matthew must be up to something,

otherwise he would not have gone abroad at this time.

“Anyway, she pesters me every day. So, I will just deal with her. At the worst, I will just lie to her by

promising her.”

Boyce patted his shoulder, “I don’t think that is a definite solution.”

“Then you have another solution?” Abbott asked rhetorically.

“I have a plan. Trick her with your beauty and screw her once and for all.” Boyce threw up his hands.

Abbott looked Boyce up and down and said, “Have you been with Armand for a long time? Why do you

speak in the same tone as him?”

Boyce was unaware of this, “Really?”

Abbott gave him a disgusted look, “You should stay away from Armand in the future. How come a good

person has learnt something bad.”

He changed the topic of discussion quickly, “If I can make her fall in love with me, then only I persuade

her to give up her revenge. Will the chances be higher?”

Boyce was speechless.

Poof!

“You say I’m like Armand, I think you’re the one who looks like him. This idea is what Armand can think

of.”

Abbott scratched his head, “Is that so?”

“We know that she is vengeful and also her behaviour, so it is not difficult to guard against her,” Boyce

said in this way to reassure Matthew.

He was quite relieved with Boyce around here.

Abbott also said, “Then I will still come back to work since the company can’t be left unattended while

you’re gone. She is just a woman and I will definitely keep an eye on her so that she has no chances of

creating troubles.”

“Alright, feel free to contact me if anything happens.” Matthew stood up and took Dolores back home.

They still had to prepare for the afternoon flight.

Abbott stayed at the office. He took the initiative to contact Emma and tell her that he had understood

the situation. He wanted to meet and talk to her.

Boyce also had something to do. So, he left the company and went to the school to deal with Jasmine’s

issue. Then, he had to visit Officer Miller.

He saw Wendy’s car at the entrance when he went to visit the headmaster.

Boyce was puzzled. Why did she come to the school?
