Snare of Love
Chapter 257 They Had Investigated on Her

The whole world was like being turned upside down. The two persons in the room kissed each other to their hearts and it seemed like there left only two of them in the world.

Matthew took off his clothes and pressed on her again. But just as he was going to continue the last step, the door of the room was knocked.

"Matthew, Charles had sent the person here."

They heard Boyce's voice and it brought Dolores's mind to be back from blank to reality. She pushed Matthew who was above her instinctively.

At that moment, Matthew's face was hidden in the dark. His face was gloomy and his was tensed.

"You are not going to start the interrogation now?" Boyce knew that Dolores was suffering from fever.

In his opinion, Matthew would not take her advantage no matter how.

Thus, he thought that Matthew was just accompanying Dolores in the room.

He had never thought of other possibility.

Dolores could feel his tensed body and suppressed emotion at the moment. She held his hands and said, "You have my words and I will never renege. We can continue next time."

The blurred dim light had concealed his unreconciled trembling eyelids and his hands that didn't want to give up of hugging her.

Knock-

The door of the room was knocked again.

Dolores pushed him again and shook her head at him.

Matthew closed his eyes for a while. Then, he grabbed the blanket and wrapped her with in it tightly like a pupa.

He turned and got down from the bed. He buttoned up his clothes and opened the door.

Boyce seemed like thinking of something and then the door was opened when he just wanted to leave. He turned back and his gaze fell on Matthew's angry face coincidentally. He was uptight in tense.

He was so nervous that he didn't know what to say.

Matthew was standing there with his hands at his back and glancing at Boyce's stunned face with his sharp gaze for a few minutes. Lastly, his tone became clam, "Where is the person now?"

"The person is staying at Charles's place." They didn't have a good place to hide the person here. Since Charles was willing to give out the place for it, it was good that they didn't have to spend time to replace for another venue."

"Alright, you can go and make arrangement. I will go there later." He closed the door after speaking.

Boyce was stunned for a while. Then, he patted on his chest after recovering from his daze.

Matthew went in the house and Dolores had got up and put on her clothes. She was tying her hair with the help of mirror. Her hair was a bit messy and wet. She placed it at the back of her head and got a ponytail. She asked Matthew when she saw him going in, "Lacey is caught, is it?"

Matthew walked over and hugged her from her back, "She can never escape too."

If Charles didn't catch her, he would do so too.

Where could Lacey who was a woman without support from powerful family escape to?

Dolores was sighing, "She was actually a pitiful woman too."

She didn't have parents since young. Although she was adopted, she was not loved. She must be having tough time for her whole life.

Matthew took her hand and pinched it in his palm, "Whoever pitiful must be hateful."

He raised his head and looked at her, "You stay at home, I am going out..."

"I will go with you." Dolores knew that he must be going to interrogate Lacey and she wanted to listen to her too.

Matthew kept silent for a second and agreed with it, "Ok."

Matthew took her out after she finished packing up her things. Theresa, Armand the bodyguards were staying in the hotel to take care of the children. Boyce was the only one followed them. Boyce was driving the car at their front, "I think Charles probably didn't get something useful after the interrogation so he is willing to hand the person to us now."

Dolores was looking at Boyce who was at her front and she asked, "She was caught by Charles's subordinate?"

"Yeah."

Dolores was locked in her contemplation. She knew that Charles really cared for Lacey and cherished the mutual childhood affection in their past through her observation.

He must be having much inner struggle for this time when he handed Lacey to them.

After a while, the car was stopped at the GPS location shown on Boyce's phone that Tom sent to him.

It was an abandoned factory building. There was a messy miscellaneous collection of goods and some abandoned products and nothing else in it.

Lacey was tied and thrown on the floor with her mouth wrapped with tape.

Tom was waiting for them at the door. When he saw that they were coming, he said, "Our boss was upstairs, he will just watch it and not take part in it. She is handed to you all and we will not meddle in it." The hidden meaning in it was he would not comment about it even if Matthew wanted to do anything on her.

Matthew was satisfied with his attitude. He was neither a bad guy nor a kind man. She had done all those bad things to his beloved people so it was impossible to stop him now from holding her accountable for it. She had scared Samuel last time and she almost caused the death of Dolores for this time. Every case of it had exceeded his limit.

Tom did a welcome gesture, "She is inside."

Boyce walked at the front and he was replaceing the path. Matthew was holding Dolores's hand and walking at the back. The floor was stained and there was a collection of sundries scattered all over the floor. Matthew reminded her to be careful and walk slower.

Dolores was thinking of other things in her heart and she didn't hear his voice.

Matthew applied some force on his hand that placed around her waist to let her feel his strength, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Dolores said.

She was actually thinking that if Lacey can admit her mistake, she will ask Matthew not to hold her accountable for Charles's sake.

Just as they stepped in the factory, they could obviously feel the decrease of temperature. The shabby window was opened and the sunshine was covered by the roof which made the place become shadowy. Lacey was thrown on the floor with her hands and legs being tied. She glared at Dolores fiercely when she saw her.

She just wished that she could stare at Dolores until a hole formed on her face.

Matthew squinted his eyes slightly. He was not getting angry but his strong aura could just let people feel the pressure from him, "If you continue to stare at her like that, I will scoop out your eyeballs." Lacey shivered for a while and then she dared not to look at Dolores. She lowered her head and struggled on the floor as she wished to escape from the place.

However, she was not able to move a step even she had used up all her strength.

Dolores took a glance at Matthew. He was having such temper and she just hoped that Lacey could learn well and suffer less.

They were same as women and she had compassion for her.

Even though Lacey was the one who started to hurt her, she was willing to give her a chance to turn over a new leaf.

Tom had prepared two clean chairs. Matthew sat down with Dolores in his arm.

Boyce squatted down in front of Lacey and tore off the tape on her mouth, "You can say now, are you the one who let someone send the doll? Why did you push Dolores?" Lacey lowered her head without saying a word.

She looked so stubborn.

Boyce licked his dry lips and laughed out loud, "Follow my order or face the consequences?"

"Just kill me if you want to, why are you asking so much questions?" She still lowered her head, "The rule of this world goes to the stronger prey upon the weaker without saying. I am the weak and so I need to let you all to trample on me. It is not because that I have done something wrong but it is because that you all are wealthy and powerful."

"Ha." Boyce laughed in anger when he heard that. Did she mean that they were bullying her with their power?

"Hello, it's you who are the one to provoke us first, okay?"

"It's she who seduced Charles first!" Finally, Lacey raised her head up and she dared not to glare at Dolores but she glared at Boyce.

Boyce laughed angrily again.

Dolores went to seduce Charles?

Did she think that Dolores was blind? She put Matthew aside and went to seduce Charles?

Was there a hole in Lacey's brain?

Boyce knew that he couldn't get any useful information in that way of questioning. Thus, he changed his method. "You are an orphan who was adopted by the Ward family as the wife of the family couldn't give birth a child. However, she was pregnant soon after adopting you. Later, she gave birth to a baby boy who was your nominal brother.

Boyce took the photo of a man who was wearing a leather jacket that he had screenshotted from a video and showed it to her, "He is your brother, right?"

Lacey was totally dumbfounded.

They had investigated on her and knew that she still had a brother. Then, did they know the fact that she had given birth to a child too?

Did Charles know it?
