Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 636 Be A Coward?

"What do you planning to do?" Dolores felt like something wasn't right.

But she was uncertain.

"The only way to get him to give up on me is for me to have another man," Theresa opened up to Dolores.

Dolores frowned and looked at Theresa in an unbelievable expression, "How can you do this to him? You should tell him..."

"Tell him that I'm flawed?" Theresa stopped Dolores. If she could, she would.

She wouldn't have waited until now.

"Oscar is single, and I'm single. We could be a match. It sounded not bad."

Dolores was speechless.

"Are you for real?" Dolores couldn't believe what she heard.

Theresa nodded, "Yes. I wanted to do it for a long time ago, but I haven't recovered yet, and Oscar wasn't here, so...'

Dolores was caught off guard. She didn't know how to persuade Theresa. She stood up, "I need a time-out."

Then, Dolores walked out of the room.

Theresa knew Dolores was worried for her. Theresa drove herself up the wall and shut off all possibilities between Armand and her.

But Theresa had made up her mind. Nobody could change her mind.

"Don't worry about me. I would rather live lightened up than to live with burdens." Theresa stopped Dolores.

What can Theresa do even if she fell in love with another man that wasn't Armand?

A flawed person like Theresa would always felt guilty for the person she loved. It was better to let go than to live in guiltiness.

To live alone or to live with a person that won't pressure her.

As long as she didn't live with the person she loved.

Dolores stopped. She didn't try to convince or stop Theresa. Theresa was a grown woman. She knew what she was doing. Dolores was in no position to interfere with her decision.

"You still have time to think this through. You're really pushing Armand away if you did it," Dolores didn't say much. Theresa had to go her own way, and nobody could decide for her what she should do. The only thing Dolores could do was to warn her.

"I know. I've thought it through," Theresa had thought about it. She can't be burdening another person with her flawed body, and she didn't want to go against her will as well.

The best lifestyle for her was not to be emotionally involved with anyone.

"You better."

Then, Dolores walked out of the room.

Jayden and Kevin went out with the children. It was quiet in the villa. Dolores got upstairs, and she felt emotional.

Dolores thought Theresa made a reckless decision, but she had to respect her choice. She understood the pain a woman felt if she couldn't bear the child of her loved ones.

So, Dolores couldn't say anything. Perhaps, Theresa and Armand weren't meant to be.

It was destined to be a stormy night.

People started to tell the dirt on the internet from time to time. The topic kept heating up, and it became more interesting every minute.

Mrs. Bailey woke up from unconsciousness in the hospital. She had seven children, and only two of them, Athena and Emma, stayed beside her. Breenda, Maisy, and Eunice basically drew the line with the Bailey family, while Declan was in jail. Eunice had three kids to take care of and couldn't come to visit. Furthermore, Eunice's husband wouldn't want her to be involved with the Bailey family. She couldn't do much, even if she wanted to help. She was a woman, and she couldn't offend her husband for her children. If her husband became unhappy and divorced her, her children would have to live without a father. It would be a tragedy. So, it was best for Eunice to stay away from the Bailey family.

Only to keep her family together.

Emma was different from her sisters. She was raised outside, but she went studying overseas after she was legal. Her academic result was excellent, and she got a wonderful job after graduation. Emma was a vice president in a multinational company. She was an iron lady.

And Emma was emotionally attached to her parents.

Emma and Athena were busy visiting people, but those who visited them previously didn't welcome them. All of them gave several excuses not to see them.

It was all made-up excuses. They were drawing lines because the Bailey family was waning.

It was the reality. People loved to play up to powerful people, but not many would assist when you were waning.

It was easy to see the truth in adversity. The Bailey family used to be buttered up, but everyone tried their best to avoid any of the Bailey family members now. As if they had seen a ghost.

Roger was locked up in a secret place. Emma and Athena didn't manage to see him at all. They put quite an effort to see Declan instead.

Declan's head became clearer after a night in the jail. He was so confused at first, but now he had thought things through. His only enemy was Matthew.

The only thing he didn't understand was how Roger's old deed got dug out.

Declan told his sisters his assumption. He told them that Matthew was involved, and he might be the mastermind behind it.

"Did you offend him?" Emma asked.

Declan replied casually, "We've had conflicts."

"What conflicts?" Emma sneered. She didn't buy Declan's story. Matthew wouldn't have spent his time and did all these just to drive the Bailey family up the wall if it was a small matter.

"What did you do?" Emma raised her voice, "Nobody could save you if you don't tell the truth."

Declan had six sisters, and only Emma could scare Declan.

Declan looked down, "It was a small matter at first. I helped Jeffrey in a kidnapping case, but it became a car accident, and someone got killed. You knew her. It was Matthew's stepmother. Then, he framed me. How can I withstand that? So, I decided to fight back. I kidnapped his wife's friend, and I framed his friend..."

"Are you stupid?" Emma couldn't help to scold Declan. Did he get himself into trouble because of another person? Wasn't that what a stupid person do?

"The Bailey family is waning because of you. Why did you make him your enemy? You kidnapped and framed his friends, and you expect him not to fight back? Did you think he was a coward?" Emma wanted to slap Declan so much.

"Didn't you know who he is? Haven't you heard of how he dealt with things? Did you think that he was an easy target to bully?" Emma put her hand on her chest. Her face turned pale out of anger. Emma was furious.

Declan lowered his head and remained silent.

Declan regretted it, but he felt like it was unacceptable back then.

"Who knew father did those when he was young? That got him into jail..."

Emma slapped Declan before he finished his sentence. She scolded Declan, "Didn't you see it? You're the reason why Matthew dug out what father did in the past."

An officer walked over to inform them the visiting hour was over.

Declan was sacred. He pulled his sister's sleeves, "Athena, Emma, you have to get me out of here. I can't stay here any longer. This is not the place for me."

"We'll get you out of here," Athena choked back tears. Declan didn't know how it was outside. They were behind the eight balls.

The police were investigating the case by the book, and they formed a special team for the case. Nobody could interfere with the case now. It would be a waste of effort even if the brothers-in-law helped out. They might even get in trouble for helping. The police's stand was clear. Severe punishment will apply to everyone involved in the case once the police have solid evidence.

After Emma and Athena left the police station, they immediately use their connection to replace out Matthew's contact number.

Emma dialled the number right away, but a woman picked up after the call connected. Athena took Emma's phone away from her and hung up the phone when she was about to speak.

"Do you think it would help to talk to him now? Do you still think things would change?"☐☐☐☐☐
