Chapter 65: Ipetent
“No, I don’t want it!”
Maria was shaking her head like crazy. She repeatedly said, “I don’t want it. I don’t want to get even
with you. I want you to love me.”
Her tears and messy hair made her look miserable and embarrassed.
Even so, Matthew’s heart still didn’t soften.
“Dinner is ready…” Cami walked in to inform Landon that dinner was ready and they could start
eating, only to find that Maria stabbed Matthew with a knife in her hand.
The bright red blood got Cami nervous immediately.
She eximed.
It was not until then did all people in presence returned to their senses. Jayden snapped in a deep
tone, “Hurry up! Call an ambnce!”
Landon, who was taken aback, yelled at Sampson sitting closest to them, “Hurry up and pull away your
sister!”
Originally it was Matthew’s fault, but he got injured in the Herbert family’s house.
That left them at a disadvantage instead of advantage again.
Since things happened until now, it would be no good for Landon. He was furious but he couldn’t vent it
out. His hands sped on the table edges, blue veins breaking up on them.
Crack!
When Sampson pulled his sister away, the knife dropped on the floor, making a crisp sound.
The de was stained with bright red blood.
“Ah! Matthew, are you all right?” Maria returned to her senses. She reached her hand, aiming to touch
his wound.
Matthew tossed off her hand. Right then, a ringing tone rang in the living room.
Everyone looked over at Mathew’s coat on the sofa where the ringing tone was from.
Under the white dangling light, Matthew was standing in a pale halo.
He was in a trance. If others looked carefully, they would notice there were cold sweat beads broken
out on his forehead.
He picked up the coat, pulled out his phone, and checked the caller ID. It was from Abbott. He swiped
to answer it.
Soon Abbott’s voice was heard. “Mr. Nelson, I’ve looked into the matter you asked. Six years ago,
Dolores Flores had a car ident, so she broke her words and couldn’te back to go through the
divorce proceedings. Sampson Herbert took her mother and her and hid them in Country A. Firstly they
stayed in Barney City, and then they transferred to the capital of Country A. During the whole period of
time, Sampson Herbert has deliberately erased their tracks to avoid letting others know.”
Holding the cell phone, Matthew slowly looked up, his gaze falling on Sampson who was holding Maria.
Staring at him, Matthew asked Abbott on the phone, “Has he always been with her all these years?”
“Yes...”
Gloominess rolled over his sharp eyes. “In which rtionship?” he asked again.
Although Abbott was on the other end of the line, he could still feel the pressure from Matthew. He
couldn’t help but swallow. ‘Mr. Nelson, I haven’t finished reporting yet. Could you please hold back your
anger?’ he prayed inwardly.
Of course Matthew couldn’t hear his pray. Abbott could only answer honestly, “It seemed that Ms.
Flores never epted him, only regarding him as an older brother. Apart from him, there was no male
in her life. Well, except for her son.”
“I see.” After hanging up the phone, Matthew threw a cold nce at Sampson and then looked at the
Herbert family members. “You can still inform me your conditions.”
Finishing his words, he walked out from the Herbert family’s house, seemingly unwilling to tangle with
them any longer.
There was a mess in the living room. After a moment of silence, Landon finally came back to his
senses. Forcing a smile, he said, “Jayden, for this matter...”
Jayden stood up, his both hands on his back. He answered in a displeased tone, “It was my son’s fault
originally. After all, he didn’t keep his promise. What requests do you have? Just let us know.”
Since Matthew was injured but Jayden still said so, obviously he was very unhappy.
“That’s not the case. It’s only the romance between our children. Isn’t it normal for them to break up or
How can I request anything from you?” Landon kept a ttering smile.
Since he had said so, Jayden didn’t want to insist on anything. He called the butler, “Thomas, let’s go
home.”
Thomas walked up immediately. “Mr. Matthew has gone to the hospital. Shall we go there?
“Of course. He’s my only son,” Jayden answered deliberately in this way. Landon’s expression kept
changing. Obviously, there was an implication in Jayden’s words.
Landon wondered if Jayden said so on purpose.
Landon suppressed anger in his heart. He had to admit that Matthew was really bold and decisive. That
young man forced to reverse the situation that was not originally good for him.
“Warner, see them off.” Heard his father’s words, Warner, who was standing at the door, hurriedly
followed Jayden. “Uncle Nelson, let me see you off,” he said with a warm smile.
Jayden didn’t respond. Thomas pulled the car door open. Jayden bent over and sat in. ncing at
Warner standing next to the car, he said, “Please send my words to your dad ... I didn’t take what
happened just now to heart.”
It was not wise to break up with each other, for all of them.
“Sure, I’ll tell him.” Warner nodded, closed the door for him gently, and said to the driver, “Drive
carefully.”
Warner didn’t return to the house until the car roared away. Landon was sitting in the living room with a
long face, starting at his sons and daughter. He wanted to scold them but he couldn’t find any word.
At the end, he sneered. “Matthew Herbert is so tricky.”
Warner happened to hear thisment as soon as he walked in. He couldn’t help but nce at his
younger brother and heaved a sigh. “We are so ipetentparing to him. I thought Maria could

marry him so we could be inws. I didn’t expect things would be like this...”
“Are you done?” Maria roared. She was the saddest person since the engagement was called off,
wasn’t she?
“If you were capable enough, would he cancel the engagement?” Landon yelled back at her. He stood
up, patting the table.
The whole family was in a chaos just because of her engagement. How dared she blow up?
Cami walked to Landon in a hurry, patting on his back tofort him. “She’s just an insensible kid.
Don’t be mad.”
“My own sons are not as good as others. Who else can I me?” Landon flicked his sleeves, turned
around, and walked into his room.
Cami followed him, continuing tofort her husband.
She was afraid that he would sulk.
Warner also felt disappointed at his younger brother. He called the servants to tidy up the living room
before returning to his own room.
Only Sampson and his trembling sister were left in the living room.
“Let me send you back to your room,” said Sampson gently. He helped Maria up.
“Why?” Maria still couldn’t ept the fact that Matthew wanted to call off their engagement until now.
She couldn’t understand howe this matter would get to this point.
That woman had disappeared for six years.
Why did she appear again?
Grabbing Sampson’s cor, she asked, “Sampson, it’s been so many years. Why haven’t you made her
your date?”
If Dolores had be Sampson’s date, even Matthew had found her, he wouldn’t be interested in her,
would he?
“You are exhausted. Have a good rest.” Sampson helped her sit on her bed.
However, Maria was not willing to let him go. “Sampson.” She stared at him, throwing questions at him,
“Why did you save her back then? Why didn’t let her die? As long she was dead, no one could steal
Matthew away from me...”
Sampson frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about?” He stopped her.
“I’m not talking nonsense!” Maria retorted emotionally. She stood up suddenly. Gazing at him, she
continued sullenly, “In order to make Matthew feel guilty and marry me, I deliberately created a car
ident. To make it real, I was really hit by a car. It hurt a lot! It hurt so much. So I want her to be hit
the car as well...”
“Ha ha...”
Mariaughed out loudly.
Sampson was frozen at the spot, now knowing how to react. He had to look at his younger sister with
new eyes.
How could she be so cruel?
He could still remember when she was a child she was so innocent and adorable.
“Maria.” Sampson looked at her. “Back then, why did you ask Dolores to pretend to yourself?” he
asked.
This had always been something that he couldn’t figure out.
