Chapter 131: Her Lacking of Skills Was To Be med
When Maria woke up, she was naked and therge bed was messy.
There was no one in her sight.
She sat up, wrapping her smooth body in the quilt and tried to recall what happenedst night. She
used the video of Dolores being undressed to bring Matthew here. Originally, she had wanted to use
the video to in exchange for him to spare the Herbert family. But when he came, before she had the
chance to talk to him, they both drank wine.
And then she got drunk.
She remembered taking off her clothes herself.
At that time, only Matthew was there with her in the room.
Did Matthew do something with her yesterday?
She was not an innocent child; she could clearly feel what had happened to her body.
She blushed, her cheeks turning red.
Did Matthew really change his mind?
She was so excited that she almost jumped up.
She was sure thatst night Matthew had sex with her.
She knew Matthew a little bit, before when he found out that she was the woman from that night, he
was really nice to her.
If he hadn’t found out about her fake pregnancy car identter on, he wouldn’t have begun to hate
her either.
Now he slept with her, which means he was willing to be with her again.
She happily got out of the bed and put her clothes back on.
She had to hurry and tell Landon about this. If Matthew was willing to be with her again, was he still
going to spread that news?
After getting dressed, she quickly left the hotel.
The car stopped at the Herbert family’s house. When she got out, she noticed Abbott’s car parked not
far away.
Was Abbott here?
She knew that Abbott was Matthew’s assistant.
He was also someone who Matthew trusted very much.
Was he there to tell her family that she wanted to reconcile with Matthew?
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became and the faster she walked.
Pushing open the door, she saw her family. Landon was sitting in the front with a pale face and
Sampson and Warner’s expressions were not good. Cami was sitting a little to the side and was
sobbing softly, not daring to cry loudly.
Maria didn’t think that the dull depressing atmosphere was because of her.
She nced at Abbott and asked with a smile, “Did Matthew send you?”
Abbott missed her gaze and said indifferently, “Yes.”
He and Maria used to work together and they had a good working rtionship. Later, she turned out to
be from the Herbert family and gained status and changed.
He didn’t know what she did, but he knew that Matthew would not do what he did unless she had gone
too far.
As expected, Maria almostughed out loud.
She walked over to Landon, “Dad…”
There was a loud pping sound.
Maria was pped hard by her father and lost her bnce, falling down on the floor. She knelt on the
ground, unable to believe that her father had just pped her.
She clutched her sorely numb cheek, “Dad, why are you hitting me?”
“Why?” Landon was breathless from the effort of pping her. The news incident was still not resolved
but there was already another scandal! He was extremely angry.
And she was still asking why did he hit her?
Trembling with anger, he pointed at her, “You still have the guts to ask why?”
“You must have a reason for hitting me, otherwise I will never forgive you!” Maria turned her head
towards Cami with tears in her eyes.
Cami did not dare to intervene for her.
She turned to look at Sampson, who had red eyes and did note forward to help her.
When she had returned to the Herbert family’s house, Cami and Sampson had treated her well.
Now that neither of them stepped forward to speak for her, she felt the seriousness of the situation.
Landon’s voice was lower than usual and deep like a muffled thunder as he chuckled bitterly, “I regret
not choking you to death the day you were born. And you are telling me that you won’t forgive me?”
His eyes were red, “Do I need you to forgive me?!”
Maria shrank back. This was the first time she saw such a vicious side of Landon.
She threw herself towards Abbott and grabbed his arm, “You tell my dad what you are here for.”
Abbott remained indifferent and said lightly, “I’ve already told them.”
“If he knows that Matthew and I are back together, why is he still angry?”
“When did you get back together with Mr. Nelson?” Abbott said coldly.
Maybe the Herbert family didn’t know why Maria was acting like this, but he knew.
Because she called Matthew’s name a lotst night.
She thought that the two men were Matthew.
“Last night, I was with Matthew. He… He…”
“I think you have misunderstood.” Abbott interrupted her and dropped a bomb on her with his next few
words, “Mr. Nelson was not with youst night.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Stop it!” Maria said sternly, she stood up from the ground and
pointed at Abbott, “What do you know?”
She remembered that she was in Matthew’s armsst night and he did not push her away. Forgetting
everything, even the pain of the p, she smiled, “He loves me. We were togetherst night.”
“Enough!” Sampson couldn’t listen anymore. He couldn’t bear seeing her deceive everyone and
herself.
He stepped over, sped her shoulders and snarled at her, “Wake up, Maria! You have been
scammed!”
She looked at Sampson, who looked close to copsing and asked, “Who scammed me? What are you
talking about?”
“How could I give birth to such a stupid daughter like you?” Landon had never regretted this before. But
now he regretted recognizing and epting her in the first ce.
If he had known that she was going to bring such a disaster to the Herbert family, he would have let her
die outside rather than let her enter through the doors of Herbert family’s home.
Abbott came there in person and confirmed Matthew’s intention.
Landon knew that these two incidentsbined would really be a disaster for the Herbert family.
If he didn’t resolve this well, his family was really going to be finished.
He stood up, all arrogance gone, “You tell Matthew, I will give him a satisfactory exnation for this
matter.”
Abbott nodded, “Okay. I will tell him that.”
Landon stood up to see him out. Abbott waved his hand, “No need to see me out, thank you.”
Abbott immediately left Herbert family’s house.
Maria seemed to begin to understand the situation, “Was it not Matthew with mest night?”
She was a fool.
“He tricked me?”
Sampson closed his eyes, “What the hell did you do to make him hate you so much and destroy you?”
“I…I…” She cried, “It was that day when we tricked Dolores. I secretly installed a camera in the room
and recorded a video…”
“No wonder Matthew also asked someone to record a video of you and send it over. This was the
reason.”
“What video?” Maria’s brain exploded. Her head was filled with a buzzing.
What video?
Last night, did she…
“What video?” Warner pointed to the USB sh drive on the table, “Watch it yourself. Dad told you to
stay home and think about what you did. It was one thing to not want to think about what you did
wrong, it was one thing to secretly run out of the house, but you ran out and went to provoke Matthew.”
Heughed sarcastically, “If he was that easy to be threatened or if a video could defeat him, would he
be who he is today?”
Maria’s face was pale.
Landon was already speechless with anger.
It was clear that Maria wanted to threaten Matthew but was put to her ce by him.
Who was to me?
Hercking skills were to me.
“Tomorrow, you two will go to see him with me.” If there was any room to rx in the previous situation,
it was gone now.
He sat on the chair with dull eyes, “Sampson, Maria, the trouble you have made can make Herbert
family lose their century-old reputation. Don’t me me, just me yourselves for being so

disappointing.”
“Dad, what do you mean? Do you want to abandon us?” Maria couldn’t believe it.
“It’s not that Dad wants to abandon you, it’s that you both brought your destruction upon yourself.”
Warner interjected, “You both haven’t done anything for the family, but you have enjoyed the glory that
the Herbert family brought to you. Now, it’s time for you both to do something for the family. Besides, all
of this happened because of you.”
