Chapter 51: Find out the Clue


    That pregnantdy identally slipped, screamed and almost fell over. It was a split second between


    life and death. The mother-inw of the pregnantdy was terrified and sat there crying hysterically.


    Dolores’ mind was nk and her entire body tensed up.


    After a moment, she replied, “As long as youe down, I’ll give you the money that you paid for the


    house.”


    The pregnantdy didn’t believe her, “Don’t say that just to get me down, I don’t believe you!”


    “I’m not lying to you. I will really give you the money. If you don’t think of yourself, won’t you even think


    about the child inside your belly?” Dolores continued to convince her.


    The pregnantdy seemed to be forced to her wits’ end which exined her desperation, “That’s


    exactly what I’m doing. I’m standing here for the sake of my child. Do you think it was easy for us to


    buy a house? We scraped all of our savings in an attempt to buy a house but how can I let my child live


    in a ce that isn’t safe? We are worried that we may be buried in it if it copses at any moment!”


    Dolores knew what she was concerned about, what she was worried about and terrified of. She knew


    because she experienced it, “I understand, you only want to give a good home for your child. I fully


    understand. As long as youe down, I said that I’ll give you the money.”


    “Why should I believe you? What will I do if I go down and you don’t give me the money?” The


    pregnantdy refused to give up.


    Dolores pursed her dry lips, “I’m not lying to you. I’m Randolph’s daughter. I won’t lie to you.”


    “She’s that unscrupulous businessman’s daughter?”


    “You must pay your father’s debt! Return me my money!”


    “Give us back our money!”


    Dolores was immediately surrounded, “Return our money, return our money!”


    An agitated man reached out to grab Dolores but Matthew’s reflexes were fast. He swiftly pulled


    Dolores into his embrace and red sternly at that man. The man was stunned by the stare but he


    aggressively demanded, “Pay up what you owe, this is expected. Her father swindled our money. If her


    father doesn’t pay up, then she should pay!”


    “That’s right, that’s right, pay for your father’s debts. If your father doesn’t show up, then you should


    pay for it!” Someone shouted.


    Very soon everyone agreed with this demand. The ce became rowdy withmotion and


    descended into chaos. The pregnantdy was also saved by rescuers when she became distracted.


    When Abbott returned with some men, Matthew and Dolores were already blocked by the people and


    he wasn’t able to get to them.


    Thanks to the men he brought and together with the help of the rescuers, they cleared a pathway and


    Matthew was able to get Dolores into the office area of the Flores Group while the people remained


    outside.


    As the pregnantdy was brought down by the rescuers and taken through the main hall, she saw


    Dolores through the ss doors and broke free from the rescuers ran towards Dolores, “You said that


    you’ll give me the money!”


    Abbott and the security held onto her and she wasn’t able to get to Dolores. She could only shout


    desperately at Dolores, “You said that you’ll repay me the money. If you lie to me, you’ll have a terrible


    death. You earned the money through unscrupulous means and will be cast into hell when you die!”


    Matthew frowned and said coldly, “Throw her out.”


    Abbot was about to do it when Dolores shouted at him, “Wait!”


    She turned towards Matthew, “I know that you’ll think that I’m foolish to return this money. Once I do


    this there will be endless problems. But who would y with their lives if she wasn’t at the end of her


    road? All she wanted was to give her child a home and was unlucky to meet my father. Just as she


    said, if I don’t fulfill my promise to her, then I won’t be at peace because I fully understand her


    feelings…”


    She understood that the pregnant woman just wanted to give her child a home. Because Dolores also


    wanted to give her child aplete family but it was out of her reach and may not happen in this


    lifetime. Dolores was very petite and thin and could be blown away by a gust of wind. But that pair of


    clear and bright eyes were so resolute.


    It was a determination that Matthew had never seen. He was momentarily stunned and looked at


    Dolores but he said to Abbott, “Give her the money.”


    Abbott understood immediately and looked at the pregnantdy, “Follow me.”


    At the moment, Randolph walked over in a hurry. He had been hiding in the office and came out


    because he found out that Matthew and Dolores had gone over. It was as if he was filled with hope


    when he saw Dolores.


    “L.” He was excited, “You came to save me!”


    Dolores replied with a cold expression, “How much money do you have?”


    Randolph was stunned as he didn’t expect her to ask him how much money he had. If he had any


    money, he wouldn’t be in this state.


    “I don’t have any money,” Randolph said as a matter of fact.


    “What?” Dolores didn’t believe him. Even if he was forced to repay his debts, how could he not have


    any more money left? “Who can help you if you don’t tell the truth?”


    Randolph darkened his expression and remained silent. Dolores didn’t waste any time, “I won’t force


    you if you don’t want to say.”


    She looked at Matthew, “Let’s go.”

    Matthew stretched out his arm to hold her waist and gently nodded. They proceeded to leave the office


    area under the protection of the security personnel.


    Randolph was stunned and saw that Dolores was about to leave. He clenched his teeth and said the


    truth, “I don’t have much. Apart from the house, I had around two million in cash but it was stolen by


    Annabelle. I had made a police report but they have not found her.”


    Randolph didn’t want to tell Dolores these. The daughter that he loved the most stole his money and


    ran away at a time when he was most desperate. On the contrary, it was his daughter who he despised


    who was standing before him.


    His eyes turned red. “L, I was blind and that’s why…”


    “Don’t say anymore.” Dolores didn’t want to hear any of it. The more they went into it, the more it will


    hurt her, “Sell the house. Get whatever money you have and repay as much as you can…”


    “That’s my only asset, I…” He couldn’t bear to part with it.


    “Do you have any money?!” Dolores yelled angrily, “If you don’t repay the money and retain your


    reputation, no one can save you. Decide for yourself!”


    Dolores was very firm. Matthew looked at her with heartache but was impressed by her. He didn’t


    expect her to be able to analyze so logically.


    If Randolph was smart enough, he would appease these people and not blow up the matter, then he


    may be able to wait for the rest of the money and the Flores Group might weather through this crisis.


    After they departed the Flores Group, Matthew went back to the office while Dolores went back to the


    vi. She didn’t work that day. Matthew wanted her to go back to rest as she didn’t look well.


    Dolores felt exhausted but she couldn’t sleep when sheid on the bed. Her mind was a mess and


    thinking of a lot of things but couldn’t figure it out. So, she decided to get up from the bed. Coral was


    cleaning the windows and Dolores went over to help her, “I’ll help you.”


    Coral waved her hands, “No, no need. Someone wille over soon to do the work.”


    Each week some people wille over to do a thorough clean up. Someone will be there to mow the


    grass, prune the flowers, and clean the areas that she normally won’t be able to clean. How could she


    clean such a huge vi on her own? She was a hardworkingdy and didn’t like to idle around.


    Someone will be there to clean the windows and other areas that she couldn’t clean.


    Dolores was pushed by Coral to sit on the sofa. She washed her hands and asked Dolores, “What


    fruits do you want to eat? I’ll get you some.”


    “Apples,” Dolores said.


    “Okay.” Coral walked into the kitchen.


    Dolores sat on the sofa and looked at the panel window. On the window were some suds left by Coral


    when she was cleaning them. She looked at the suds in a daze as they flowed slowly down the ss.


    Suddenly her phone in her pocket rang. She took out the phone and saw that it was Sampson’s


    number. She tensed up. Did he manage to find out any clues?


    Her hand trembled unconsciously and she answered the call, “Hello.”
