This was the first time that Matthew saw her in a dress - it was made of pink glossy silk, presenting her
beautiful and sexy curves. The perfect cut was quite soft, and it changed the cut at the waist. Her
slender waist was shown immediately. The dress' hemline reached her ankles, and she randomly rolled
up hair looked soft and enchanting, making her exude the woman’s unique charm all the time.
She turned around and followed the straight gaze at her. Tilting her head, she found the man who was
standing next to the car.
She was about to greet him, but Matthew had already lifted his feet and walked in without any intention
to talk to her.
Dolores seemed to understand why he would react in this way - he must have seen Victoria’s car just
now.
After Victoria followed Dolores to the guest lounge, Armand called Matthew.
Without any hesitation, he rushed over, worrying that Victoria would make it difficult for her or do
something that embarrassed her. Much to his surprise, he witnessed that they were smiling and
chatting, seemingly quite familiar with each other.
He was surprised, as Dolores hadn’t come back to China for a long time. He wondered how they got to
know each other.
And they got along quite well, too.
Seeing Matthew come in, Armand immediately walked over. “She’s just left.”
“I saw it.” Matthew curled up his lips, but he didn’t smile.
Armand shrugged. “They were talking in the room and we didn’t hear anything, so we don’t know what
they’ve talked about. However, I’m quite certain that this is not the first time they meet.”
It was because they didn’t look unfamiliar with greeting each other.
“Have you taken her home so they got to know each other?” Armand didn’t think it was possible - upon
Matthew’s personality, he wouldn’t have taken Dolores home back then.
As long as he had made a decision, nobody could make him changed. The only exception was that he
couldn’t reject to get married in the past, because it was appointed by his late mother.
He uttered a word coldly, “Never.”
Armand kept silent, realizing that there was something wrong with it. He couldn’t help wondering how
Dolores got in touch with Victoria.
When he was about to say something else, Boyce tugged him to stop. He reminded Armand in a low
voice, “Haven’t you seen his mood was quite bad?”
Armand curled his lips and shut up.
Right then, a lot of people gradually arrived. Dolores went back to the hall but didn’t see Matthew. Then
Mrs. William took her to make an introduction to her friends, so Dolores temporarily had to concentrate
on socialization.
“My outfits in the future will all rely on you.” The woman looked rich and elegant, in her fifties. She
looked a bit chubby, in a black dress with a chiffon shawl on her shoulders, making her look noble.
Since she could afford the clothes designed by LEO Corporation, she must be someone either rich or
powerful.
As the capital city of China, City B was a city full of rich and powerful people.
“Thank you for your trust, ma’am.” Dolores smiled at her.
“In the past, when I want to buy the clothes designed by LEO Corporation, I had to go overseas. Now
it’s much better.” As the lady spoke, she looked over at Mrs. William. Then she said in a complaint
tone, “You should have opened a branch in China long ago!”
Seemingly, she was quite curious why Mrs. William suddenly had made the decision to open the
branch overseas, and the first country Mrs. William had chosen was China. She asked, “Why did you
decide to open a branch abroad? And why did you choose China? Is there any reason behind?”
Mrs. William looked hesitant. Speaking of this matter, it had something to do with another matter a long
time ago, which she didn’t want to share with others. Dolores hurriedly rescued her. “It was because of
me. I begged Mrs. William to open the branch because I was from China, so I convinced her to open it
here.”
“Oh, I see.” It was not a big deal, so the woman didn’t suspect if Dolores’ words were true or not.
“There would be a fashion show later, presenting LEO Corporation’s design, particularly for this
opening ceremony. All are unique designs. If you love any of them, please grasp the chance to make
an order,” Mrs. William continued to talk with the woman.
Right then some guests came in from the entrance again. It was Camilla with Maria. Since so many
incidents had happened to the Herbert family, Camilla looked a bit depressed. However, she knew Mrs.
William quite well, so she had to attend this ceremony.
Maria walked in with her arm-in-arm. Since she was the only daughter from the Herbert family, she
looked quite noble naturally - she wore a black dress with an inspiring design that revealed her back.
The two sides of the dress diverged, all the way extending to the waist and hip line. Her fair back was
exposed, exuding an alluring temperament.
It must be because that she knew Dolores was here, so she dressed up to attend the ceremony.
Instead of being reckless as she used to be, she didn’t offend Dolores as soon as they encountered
each other. This time, she stood quietly next to Camilla.
The lady who was talking to Mrs. William greeted Camilla. Since they always accompanied their
husbands to attend different activities, they knew each other as well. Hence, it was natural for them to
exchange some greetings when meeting each other.
They both got to know Mrs. William because of the dresses.
As the wives of a chairman of the board or a CEO, they should have a taste in dressing and makeup,
so they had high requirements on their outfit. The tailored clothes met their requirements very well.
In that case, they didn’t need to worry about the embarrassing outfit clash.
Besides, they also could require the shop to make the coupling dresses that could match their
husbands’ suits.
Since they were in public, although things that happened in the Herbert family had something to do with
Dolores, Camilla didn’t show it on her face. She greeted Dolores with a smile.
Dolores didn’t know her well. She knew Camilla just because of Sampson.
She just smiled back at Camilla instead of speaking.
In the corner, Beulah grabbed the mop tightly, glaring at Dolores fiercely. Her daughter was missing
and she was suffered in jail. However, Dolores was enjoying the glory.
At this time, a man entered the hall. He was wearing a formal suit. He was no longer young but aged.
Although he was in a tailored suit, his slightly bent back could still be seen.
Seeing the man coming in, Beulah opened her mouth. She was about to call him, but thinking of his
ruthlessness, she stopped.
“Hi, Lola.” He walked towards Dolores.
Dolores’ face gradually fell, wondering why he was here.
“Your store is open today. Of course, I must come here to support you.” His voice became lower
because when he arrived, he had seen all the cars parked outside - it seemed a lot of celebrities in
town had come here.
Seriously, he wasn’t qualified to support her.
“Thank you, but not necessarily. Please go home,” Dolores refused his kindness.
She didn’t want to look into the grudges in the past, but she would never forgive him.
Randolph didn’t leave or give in because of Dolores’ words. After experiencing the incident six years
ago, he had seen the true colors of others.
The daughter he spoiled the most took the donation fund and ran away at the critical moment, leaving
him in big trouble.
“Lola, I want to thank you.”
Dolores frowned. “For what?”
“After the incident six years ago happened, without Matthew’s help, you might not be able to see me
again.”
Dolores was shocked.
It turned out that it was Matthew who helped him through the difficult time of the company six years
ago.
“I also felt quite weird why he would help me. He said it was because of you.”
Dolores got more confused, wondering why Mathew would have done so.
Seemingly she recalled that there was a pregnant woman who wanted to commit suicide by jumping
off. Dolores wanted to convince that pregnant woman and told her that she could give all her money to
the woman.
So in Matthew’s mind, it turned out that she didn’t want anything to happen to Randolph.
Actually, she just didn’t want that pregnant woman to be in danger, because Dolores was pregnant at
that time as well. She didn’t want the incident to happy on that pregnant woman.
Later, it was Matthew who offered the woman some money. Later, he wanted to divorce her and she
left China, totally cutting off the domestic contacts, so she didn’t know how the matter had been
resolved.
“I feel that he likes you a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped me because of you.” Randolph locked
himself in the room because of this matter. It was not because he was excited but he regretted it. If his
relationship with Dolores didn’t become so terrible, now the Flores family must have been leading a
much better life.
Last time, by accident, he saw Jessica with two children, so he decided to chase after Jessica again
and gain Dolores’ forgiveness.
He believed that Matthew was those children’s father. Since Dolores had given birth to such two lovely
children to Matthew, Randolph guessed that Matthew must treat Dolores not badly.
In that case, perhaps he could be benefited as well.
If Dolores had nothing now, Randolph wouldn’t flatter her in such a humble way.
A human’s nature couldn’t be changed easily.
Dolores had never expected that Matthew would still take care of Randolph after she had left.
She doubted if he had done just truly because of her.
“I won’t bother you. I’ll sit in a quiet place. It looks so vivid here with so many people. You can just take
me as a stranger attending this ceremony.” Randolph was afraid of being kicked out by Dolores, so he
took the initiative to escape and find a quiet place to stay.
Dolores ignored him, letting him do whatever he wanted.
It wouldn’t be that easy for her to forgive him as he wished.
The pains that he had given her and Jessica had become a scar that would never disappear.
Whenever they recalled, it still hurt.
Beulah was so furious. Her original well-maintained face had lost its gloss after being tortured in jail.
Glaring at Dolores, her eyes seemed to pop out the next second, looking so creepy.
She had never seen Randolph being so humble to another person, but now he had done it.
And he had done it when talking to Dolores.
Beulah couldn’t accept this change as well as her failure, which had been changed all because of
Dolores’ return to town.
‘Go to hell! Go to hell!’ she cursed crazily in her heart.
Dumping the mop, she strode to Dolores. Before standing in front of her, Beulah pulled out the
prepared dagger from her pocket. “Dolores Flores, go to hell!”
“Watch out!”
When Dolores turned around, she saw the woman rushing towards her like a ghost from the hell -
Beulah looked terrifying with a sparkling dagger in her hand, stabbing towards her chest directly-
