Dolores paused when she saw them and Beh also raised her eyebrows.”Mom, isn’t that Dolores? Why is she here?” Annabelle wasn’t able to suppress her anger as well as Beh could, “She was here to eat?”The food here was delicious, expensive, and not a ce for regr folks to dine at. How could Dolores dine at this ce? Beh scoffed, “She married into the Nelson family. Although that person is a cripple, his societal status and wealth are genuine. It should not be any surprise that she can patronize this kind of ce.”W??.??(v)??????e.(c)omDolores didn’t want to be entangled with them and wanted to walk away but Annabelle blocked her path.”You just married a cripple. Even if you cane to this high-ss establishment, you’re nothing but an unpresentable bum.” She looked at Dolores’ dressing from top to bottom as she said andughed sarcastically.”Step aside!” Dolores said coldly. Annabelle didn’t, “What’s the hurry? Are you ashamed to marry a cripple?”Abbott frowned and was about to respond to Annabelle’s blocking of Dolores’ path when he saw Matthew walked over and quickly retracted his hand.”Dolores, why are you still so shabby after marrying into that wealthy family? Is it because even that cripple despises you?” Annabelleughed sinisterly as she said, “Don’t take after your mother who can’t even hold onto her man.”At this point, Dolores also saw Matthew walk over and couldn’t help but stare with her eyes wide open. Annabelle noticed the change in Dolores’ expression and thought that she was angry and escted, “Dolores, this is your destiny. You were abandoned by your father in the first half of your life and dumped overseas to fend for yourself. Now you need to serve a cripple for the rest of your life, bearing life of burden…””I’m afraid I have to disappoint you.” A deep and manly voice was heard. It was soft and impressive but not to be underestimated.”Who do you think you are…” Annabelle turned and saw a man standing nearby. He was wearing a well-tailored slim-fitting business suit. He stood upright, especially the pair of slim and long legs. He held his head up high and his lips were sexy with dashing chiselled looks. His eyes were profound, lofty, and cold. He walked over firmly and with each step, it chilled the hearts of those watching. His indifference and depth of silence highlighted his nobility. He walked over with a sacred aura that red everyone’s sight. Annabelle was shocked with her jaw opened. He, isn’t he a cripple? She was stunned in disbelief. How could this be possible???(w).?o???(s)h???.???Under the judgmental eyes of Annabelle and Beh, he ced his arm over Dolores’ shoulders, “Let’s go.”Dolores was stunned for a couple of seconds, looked up, “You…”His gaze deepened slightly and gently smiled affectionately, “What’s wrong, silly?”Annabelle stared at his legs until her eyes were ready to pop out of their sockets, “Aren’t you crippled?”She cupped her mouth after saying seeming to realize that she had misspoken. Beh was also stunned. It was unbelievable. Matthew felt disgusted and left with Dolores. Abbott scoffed, “Shallow.” And thereafter didn’t look at their stunned and obnoxious expressions. He walked quickly towards the car. Beh looked on with surprise and fear and her legs started to wobble, “How can that be? Matthew isn’t crippled?””What happened?” Annabelle lost her self-control and grabbed Beh’s arm, “Why aren’t Matthew’s legs crippled?”Beh came to her senses after a while. Weren’t his legs unable to be treated??w?.?????(s)?om?.???”Mom…””Enough!” Beh felt her mind rumbling with noise and was frustrated, “I wonder if your father knows about this?”They lost their appetite after they found out that Matthew wasn’t crippled and went together to the Flores Group. Randolph was brewing in anger. The property that the Flores Group had invested in had a copse andContent rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    now thepany was being sued. Randolph was frowning deeply. Knock, knock…Randolph was about to rage at whoever dared to disturb him. Just as he was about to shout, the door w??.n??e??Ho?e.?o?opened and Beh entered. As soon as she saw Randolph’s gloomy expression, her heart jumped, and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”Beh didn’t bother with what was bothering Randolph and said as she walked over, “Do you know that Matthew can stand up?”Randolph was stunned and then frowned and looked at Beh, “He was bitten by a poisonous snake. Wasn’t it diagnosed to be incurable? How could he stand up again?”True enough, Randolph also didn’t know about this. Beh’s expression turned serious, “He can stand up…””Who did you hear it from?” Beh was interrupted by Randolph before she could finish.”We saw it for ourselves.” Annabelle was quick to answer. She had calmed down and walked towards Randolph, “Father, we must have been fooled.”Previously it was clearly determined that it was incurable so how was he able to stand up now? Randolph frowned as this truly startled him and he was puzzled, “But why did he spread the news that he wasn’t able to stand?”Beh couldn’t determine the reason for him to send out this signal and guessed, “Could it be that he was dissatisfied with the marriage arrangement with the Flores family and that’s why he spread that news so that we will break off the marriage instead of him?”The entire office became so silent that one could hear a pin drop.”That must be it. What else could it be?” Annabelle agreed with Beh’s guess and she sat on the sofa in frustration, “If we had known earlier, then we didn’t need Dolores toe back.” And she could marry Matthew. Randolph was also upset and this issue was beyond his expectations. Initially, he wanted to use his daughter to cement their rtionship with the Nelson family. If it was really as Beh said, then by marrying his daughter to him, not only did he fail to please Matthew, but he ended up antagonizing him. Now that thepany had some difficulties, he wanted to look for Matthew to help out but it appeared that he was unable to do that now. Randolph was deep in thoughts. No wonder Matthew refused to meet him when he went to WY Tower to look for him.”Mom.” Annabelle grabbed Beh’s arm tightly. “Mom, why didn’t I marry Matthew?”He was the first man that she liked. She had the chance to marry him but now she had missed out on that opportunity. She regretted so much that she turned green with envy. If she didn’t mind that Matthew was a cripple and married him, then he may have loved her for epting him as a cripple. But now all these were given to Dolores and she couldn’t ept the reality of it!”We should consider carefully our next moves now that things are the way they are.” Beh was also upset that they had missed out on the opportunity to forge a closer rtionship with the Nelson family. Randolph felt a splitting headache and was helpless that things turned out this way. Why did Matthew pretend to be crippled? On the other end, Dolores got into the car with Matthew and sat quietly beside him. Matthew looked very busy. He looked at the documents on hisp and adjusted his cor. Dolores kept quiet and didn’t bother him. When they almost arrived at the WY Tower, Dolores asked him to stop the car.”Do you have something on?””It’s not good that I go in together with you.” She knew that her marriage to Matthew was not to be made public. This would prevent any misunderstandings. Now her actions started to puzzle Abbott. In the past, she was negatively affecting Matthew’s reputation but now…Dolores got out of the car and Abbott drove to the underground garage. Matthew exited the car and walked into the lift with Abbott following closely behind. He was extremely curious about Matthew’s feelings for Dolores and asked, “Mr. Nelson, do you prefer Ms. Flores or Ms. White?”
