Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 873 All Kinds of Reasons

The woman was stunned when she realized that she had been played. But it was too late.

She endured the pain in her abdomen, crawled over to Benjamin and grabbed his leg, and said, “They

tricked us.”

She was terrified when she was captured. Then, she was rescued and did not think of the possibility of

being tricked.

“You are his uncle, he wouldn’t do anything against you.” The women tried to make Benjamin use his

family ties with Matthew to seek leniency.

Abbott scoffed, “Now you know that you’re relatives? Why didn’t you consider the consequences when

you kidnapped Jos?”

Benjamin looked at Abbott and laughed, “So what? I’m not someone who you can touch.”

Abbott laughed in return, “Perhaps I can’t touch you but this is a kidnap and you are a criminal. I can’t

do anything to you but the law can!”

“You don’t have proof.” The woman said as she held tightly to Benjamin’s leg. Now her only hope rests

with Benjamin. Now that they were discovered, Benjamin must not shirk away from his responsibility

and part in it.

Abbott looked coldly at the woman and said, “It looks like you don’t understand my boss’s temper.” He

used the tip of his shoe to raise the woman’s chin and continued, “We have lots of means to kill you if

he wants you dead!”

As she heard this, she grabbed even tighter onto Benjamin.

Benjamin held onto his trousers and yelled, “What are you panicking for? I don’t believe that he will kill

you!”

“Benjamin, I can only depend on you.” She held onto Benjamin tightly as he was her only hope.

Boyce walked over and said solemnly, “Both of you are suspected of kidnap and ransom demands. You

need to be arrested and investigated.” He ordered his men to arrest and take them back to the police

station.

“How dare you touch me?” Benjamin struggled as his arms were held behind him. He now used his

relationship with Matthew to demand preferential treatment, “I’m one of the Nelsons!”

Boyce replied, “In the ancient days, even the Emperor had to face the same punishment as the

subjects when the Emperor committed a crime. Now that we are now a lawful society, do you think that

you can go scot-free when you’ve committed a crime? Men, take them away!”

“How dare…” Before Benjamin could finish speaking, he was swiftly removed. The policemen were

very efficient and did not care about a criminal’s societal status. All criminals must be investigated and

face justice.

Although Benjamin had some minor physical defects, he had lived a privileged life. Now he was

arrested at this age and he was never treated this roughly in his life, not to mention the disrespect

towards him.

“I demand to see Matthew!” Benjamin struggled and yelled.

“Struggle again and I will add another charge of resisting arrest!” Boyce said sternly.

Boyce’s men did not go easy on Benjamin and forced him into the car. The woman did as she was told

on seeing Boyce’s firm attitude. She entered the car and was squeezed beside Benjamin.

“I’ll leave the rest to you.” Abbott dusted his jacket.

Boyce nodded and made a call before entering the car.

Jasmine did not sleep for almost two days. She was worried sick as she sat on the sofa. Boyce quickly

called her to inform her that Joshua was found.

Jasmine swiftly answered Boyce’s call. She was apprehensive that the call would bring bad news about

Jos. Her hand was trembling as she answered the call, “Hello?”

Boyce knew that Jasmine was worrying and quickly assured her, “Don’t worry, Joshua’s found.

Everything’s fine now.”

Jasmine was overwhelmed with emotions and asked with a shaky voice, “Really?”

Boyce replied, “Of course. How could I lie to you about something like this?”

Jasmine smiled as tears of joy flowed down her cheeks, “That’s great.” Then she quickly asked, “Had

the kidnappers been captured?”

“Yes,” Boyce replied.

“You must bring them to justice!” Jasmine said angrily, “How could they steal a baby? They’re

inhumane! These people must not go scot-free!”

‘I know. Have a good rest.” Boyce said tenderly.

Jasmine acknowledged but she did not feel tired at all. Now that Joshua was found, she wondered if he

was traumatized. She went to the bathroom to wash up, changed, and left the house.

She took a taxi to the villa and saw Matthew’s car parked outside. She paid the taxi driver and went to

the entrance. She paused momentarily before walking forward to knock on the door.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

The door was quickly opened and immediately Theresa stepped aside for Jasmine to enter.

“Is Joshua’s back?” Jasmine did not know what else to say.

Theresa nodded, “He’s back. He’s upstairs. However, wait a while before going up.”

Jasmine understood and expected Matthew to be upstairs.

“Come and take a seat.” Theresa led her to the sofa.

Upstairs.

It took Dolores a while before she could coax Joshua to sleep. He remained restless and twitched as

he slept. Her heart was broken when Joshua was kidnapped. Each day was torture for her as she did

not know what to do.

A child was the life of the parents. Only when the child was happy could the parents be happy.

“Who did this?” Dolores turned towards Matthew. Her eyes were bloodshot and furious.

Joshua’s disappearance was so sudden and the funeral had just ended. Thereafter she was all alone

at the villa and received no updates of what happened.

Matthew stood beside the bed, looked at Jos, and said, “I’ll handle this.”

“I asked you who did this?” She controlled her voice because Joshua just fell asleep. She just wanted

to know who did it and why so that she could prevent it from happening again.

She was terrified by this incident.

She looked at Matthew and said, “This is my son and inside me for ten months. He is my flesh and

blood. Now that something so serious had happened to him, don’t I have the right to know who did it?”

Matthew did not mean to keep it from her but just did not want her to worry. He did not expect her to be

so agitated.

He walked over and wanted to wipe away her tears but she turned her head away. Matthew stood and

looked at her with his enchanting eyes.

She was seated while he stood in front of her for a while before Dolores calmed down and said, “I’m

sorry…”

She knew that he also felt terrible when Joshua was kidnapped. She was terrified and could not

compose herself.

Matthew pulled her head into his embrace. Dolores’ head was pressed onto his abdomen while she

hugged his waist.

He ran his fingers through her hair and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. I just don’t want you to

worry. The person had been caught by Boyce.”

Dolores calm down significantly and then revealed who she thought had done this, “Was Benjamin

involved?”

This person appeared after Jayden’s passing and then Joshua disappeared. She could only link these

events to him.

Matthew calmly affirmed.

“Why?” Dolores tilted her head, “Why did he kidnap Jos? Do the two of you have any conflicts? Or did

he have any grudge against dad?”
