They had planned everything, they even prepared evidence to prove that Dolores was guilty, but at the
same time they also prepared those to prove that she wasn’t.
When it happened, there were people in the back who recorded it all on camera, when Dolores shot at
Sampson, it was in the situation when she panicked and wanted to protect herself, it didn’t take
Sampson’s life, it was actually Sampson who grabbed Dolores’s hand and shot at himself that led to his
death.
The videos that went viral on the internet, were the ones showing that Dolores shot Sampson, it was
edited. The first half showed how Dolores took the shot, the fight between Sampson and Dolores was
cut out, the next scene that was seen was Sampson lying on the ground in his own blood bath.
This made people believe that Dolores had killed him with her shot.
The complete video was in Jeffery’s hands, Eddie had copied it secretly from Jeffery’s computer, and
he asked someone to edit the video and release it.
If the complete video was released, they could prove that Dolores didn’t kill anybody, she only tried to
protect herself.
Matthew was not satisfied with this answer, he laughed, “You framed a woman for murder, and now you
want to erase this with simply one sentence, don’t you think this is unfair?”
Jeffery frowned, he didn’t expect that he wouldn’t be satisfied, “What do you want?”
Matthew leaned back, and said without any emotions, “I don’t have high expectations, I just want every
single person who was involved to apologize to her.”
Jeffery immediately got angry, this was his doing, if they had to apologize he would be on top of the list,
be never thought that Matthew would ask that of him.
Apologize to Dolores?
Jeffery couldn’t do that.
He had never bent in front of anybody in his life.
“No way!” Jeffery turned him down.
Eddie also didn’t think that Matthew would want Jeffery to apologize to Dolores.
This was ridiculous!
“Your uncle is your elderly...”
“To be right or wrong has nothing to do with age, or does the law only care about the younger
generation? If the elderly do wrong, should they stay unpunished?” Matthew interrupted Eddie, he
laughed, “Officials, especially people like you, can do whatever you want?”
Eddie shut his mouth, he was still in position, he couldn’t allow himself to say anything in front of
Matthew.
Anybody who had gotten as far as him knew that they had to watch their every word and step.
Jeffery’s face was filled with anger, he had always been a traditional person, he never agreed that men
and women should be equal. Now Matthew wanted him to apologize to Dolores?
“Matthew, you want me to apologize because of a woman?” Jeffery’s eyes showed wrinkles that grew
deeper by the minute.
Matthew was still smiling, but that smile had no emotions at all, “I don’t think you have a choice.”
Jeffery and Eddie both changed the color of their faces, Jeffery’s face looked even worse, “Matthew,
what do you mean?”
Matthew stood up, and patted his shirt, then he said with significance, “You are not the only one who
can play dirty tricks, if I am being serious, I do not think you can win me.”
Being an official was honorable, they had benefits, but they also had weak points.
Any small things could be investigated.
If Matthew really wanted to take it on with them, they would get quite entangled.
Eddie didn’t dare to speak, even though Matthew was younger than him, but his aura was not weaker
than Jeffery’s. He admired that kind of cold and calm, he was a big person, and he could be this
successful to this stage, he must have his one way.
Jeffery was trembling all over, he couldn’t tell if it was out of worry or anger, but this was definitely not
normal.
He stared at Matthew’s shadow, his hands clenched.
Suddenly, Matthew stopped at the door, he stood there tall, but didn’t turn around, nobody saw his face,
“I forgot to tell you, this meeting room has cameras.”
Eddie and Jeffery both stiffened, their eyes widened, this meant that their conversation was recorded?
Eddie felt okay, he didn’t say anything that was out of the ordinary, but the conversation between
Jeffery and Matthew had a lot of information, for example that Dolores was not guilty, and where this
was coming from.
Was Jeffery using his forces to find a way out for Dolores?
To bend the law for personal gain was also a weak point for them, if anybody knew about this, there
would be a lot of rumors, everyone knew the consequences.
What Eddie could think of, Jeffery already knew.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let it get out.” Matthew slowly turned around and looked at Jeffery, his face showed
no expression whatsoever, “This is the last affection between you and me.”
These years Jeffery had treated him well, he was a human, he was made of flesh and blood, especially
after he was with Dolores, he treasured every person by his side.
Jeffery was still his uncle, if he didn’t think about Jolene, he still had to think about their relationship of
the past years.
This was his last mercy to Jeffery.
This was also the last connection between the two of them.
Jeffery understood what Matthew meant.
Was he drawing a line between them?
Was he cutting him out?
Jeffery’s eyes blurred, he couldn’t even see Matthew clearly anymore, he only wanted the best for him.
After Jolene passed away, he had always treated him as his own family, but he...
The anger that he couldn’t release made him sick, Jeffery’s sight suddenly became blurred.
“Jeffery...” Eddie caught him and asked him worried, “What is wrong?”
Jeffery blacked out.
Eddie was nervous, he quickly got out his phone and said, “Hang in there, I will call someone.”
Matthew stood in the door and watched the scene with cold eyes, he didn’t help, instead he turned
around to leave.
“Matthew, that is your uncle, are you going to watch him die?”
