Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap Chapter 117: Internal Strife

“Dad, I’ll go with you.” Warner stepped forward.

Landon nodded, “Yeah, you coming with me is a good idea.”

Among his three children, his favorite is his eldest son. Although he had no talent in doing business, he
was steady and had never troubled his family. Now, he was also taking care of the family business.

He glanced again at the other two, he immediately felt angry again.

“This matter is not resolved. You two are not allowed to go out. Stay home and think about what you
did!”

“Dad…”

Maria wanted to explain that even though her intentions were selfish, it was true that she wanted to be
useful for the family. If what happened hadn’t happened, she was sure they wouldn’t have been treated
like this.

As soon as she said that, she was held by Sampson besides her, “Stop talking!”

“Why?” Maria was not convinced, “My original intention was to do something for the family. I didn’t
succeed but it should not be unforgivable! It is unfair to treat us like this!”

Landon clutched his chest, extremely angry.

Not only did she not admit to her mistake, but she also refused to listen to his words?

“Okay now, stop talking! Can’t you see that Dad is angry?” Warner scolded her.

“Don’t pretend to be a good person in front of Dad. You are just afraid that Sampson and I will divide
the family property and take your position in the group. That is why you are pleasing Dad in every way



you can…”

“Enough!” Landon slammed his hand on the table in anger and coughed. His face turned red as he
continued to cough and Warner patted him on the back.

“It has always been like that; Warner licks people’s boots outside and then come home to lick Dad’s
boots.”

Warner was the only one in charge of the family business. Maria had been home at Herbert family’s
house for so many years. Every time she mentions her desire to work for the company, Warner makes
deliberate excuses to prevent him from going.

Didn’t this mean that he was afraid of losing the property?

“That’s it! Both of you get lost! Go back in your rooms!” Camilla couldn’t listen anymore. They were all
her own children; they were all equally important to her.

“Let her talk!” Landon opened his mouth. He was breathing heavily, as if he was going to faint any
moment now.

“Dad! Is it fair to leave the company to Warner alone?” Maria had been dissatisfied since a long time
ago and now was her chance to say it all.

Warner looked at her quietly.

Landon raised an eyebrow, “Are you talking to me about being fair?”

He was not an old fool. He only attached importance to his oldest son, Warner, because he saw
through it completely.



Sampson went to study psychology even though he disagreed with his decision, and became a
psychiatrist. Now that he had come back, he didn’t know anything about business. Especially in this
competitive era, it was not easy.

Was it too late for him to learn? Besides, was doing business something that could even be learned.

Doing business needs ability, courage and vision.

Sampson had none.

And Maria, she was able to stay beside Matthew in the beginning, not because she was capable and
talented but because of her childhood he pitied her and let her stay beside him as a secretary.

She just served tea, poured water and arranged his daily schedule.

The most important thing was that she was a woman and was going to be married in the future.

To give her shares and let her take them to someone else’s house?

It was impossible.

And then there was Warner. He went to business school and learned with him after graduation before
taking over the company.

Even though he was not outstanding, he had been in the business world for many years. He had no
ability to grow the company but he had accumulated enough experience and can maintain the status
quo of the group.

Therefore, his elder son had performed well enough to hold the power so he too turned a blind eye to it.

“Calm down! They are just children, they are ignorant.” Camilla came over and comforted him.



Landon snorted coldly, “Children? They are in their thirties.”

He looked at his wife, “No one is allowed to go out without my permission.”

“Okay.” Camilla responded cautiously, for fear that she might offend him again.

Warner helped him up, “Dad, let’s go now. I am afraid things will become out of control.”

Now that the momentum was falling, but the time had been short and not many people knew about it. If
it was allowed to spread for a couple more days, then it was going to become impossible to deal with it.

Landon also understood the seriousness of the matter, so he stood up using his son as support, “Call
the driver to prepare the car.”

“I’ll drive!” Warner said.

“Okay.”

Warner helped his father walk out.

Maria looked at Camilla, “Mom, look how partial Dad is. He only believes in Warner and gives
everything to him.”

How could she not know what her husband was thinking?

If Sampson was capable enough, he would not have failed to use him. And Maria was a girl and she
was lost as a child so their relationship was not deep.

All this compared with Warner’s hard work and considerateness, Landon naturally leaned on him.

“You just made such a big disaster. If you don’t reflect on it, and are still fighting with your family, how
will your father be happy with you?” Camilla looked at his daughter, “You are a woman, and you will get



married in the future. It doesn’t matter whether you enter the company or not.”

“I am a woman? So what? Am I not a part of this family?” Maria didn’t expect her to say this.

What decade was she living in?

How patriarchal!

“You all dismissed me in the beginning because I was a girl, why didn’t you just strangle me to death
when I was born? Why did you still take me in? It would just have been better if you hadn’t accepted
me?” Maria began to cry and ran up the stairs.

Camilla’s body trembled, almost unable to stand firm.

Sampson came over to help her, “Mom, don’t be angry, Maria didn’t mean it.”

Camilla waved her hand, “If I get any angrier, I will just die of anger. Help me go to my room.”

“Your father said that you both are not allowed to go out. Don’t leave the house for a few days lest he
gets angry again.” She explained to her son.

“Okay.” Sampson pursed his lips and said, “Even though we got into trouble this time, we really wanted
to do something for our family but couldn’t succeed. I know it makes sense for Dad to rely on Warner, I
have never been jealous of him, nor have I thought about seizing power.”

It wasn’t that he had no desire or hope, it was just that his desire was not in power.

If it was really what he wanted, he would have done whatever it takes for it.

Just like Dolores, he deliberately deceived her because of his own selfishness that he was from country
A.



Just as Maria said, he was indeed selfish.

It was just that he was good at disguising it.

In the Nelson family…

Jayden was practicing calligraphy in the study. After handing over the company to his son, he had
begun to completely ignore things. Calligraphy was his hobby.

Every afternoon, he would stay in the study for three hours and Victoria would grind the ink-stone for
him.

Although they were getting older, the scene was very beautiful.

“What are you thinking?” Jayden looked at Victoria who was staring outside the window.

She regained her senses and continued to grind the ink-stone, “Nothing. I just miss my son.”

Jayden put a hand on her shoulder, “Do you regret it?”

Just as Victoria was about to answer, the door of the study was knocked and Thomas’s voice came,
“Someone from the Herbert family is here.”

“Isn’t that matter already settled?” Vitoria’s hand paused in the middle of grinding ink, her tone was a
little cold, “What is he here for?”

She thought it was because of the broken marriage.

They hadn’t watched the news today, so they didn’t know what happened.

After Jayden finished his final stroke, he put the brush on the brush holder and said, “Let’s go and see.”
