Snare of Love

Chapter 154: He Liked that Woman

The night was colorful under the colorful neon lights, and the scenery quickly passes through the car

window, leaving no trace.

Soon, Matthew’s car was parked in front of the detention house.

Boyce knew he was coming over, so he arranged for someone to wait for Matthew at the gate. As soon

as Matthew got off, someone came over to him. “Boyce is in the mortuary.”

Matthew nodded, hinting at the man to show him the way.

The mortuary was always located in a remote place. After turning a few corners and going through

several corridors, they finally arrived in front of a door. When the door was pushed open, the gloomy

and cold smell was oncoming. To prevent the body from decay and smell, the morgue was equipped

with a 24-hour refrigeration machine.

As soon as they entered the mortuary, they could feel the sudden temperature drop.

Matthew was expressionless. His emotion didn’t change at all because of this place.

When he came in, the forensic doctor had just covered Beulah’s dead body with a white cloth. There is

a scalpel on the table next to him - obviously, he had just finished the autopsy.

Boyce came over with the autopsy report. “It’s certain that she committed a suicide, which was planned

ahead.”

Looking at the report, he explained in detail, “She had taken a kind of medicine. After the incident

happened in LEO Corporation, when she was locked in the detention house, she took another kind of

medicine. The two medicines had inter-restriction, which causes death. Obviously, she knew it very

well, so she took both medicines one after another.”

“Is that all?” Matthew was not satisfied with this answer obviously. It was not enough for him.

“Beulah Shawn had met someone before going out of the jail.”

Matthew had the answer in his heart. “Who was it?” he still asked.

“Maria Herbert. According to the surveillance video I found, it showed that Maria Herbert has met her

two days ago. She also bribed someone and set Beulah free.” When he was speaking, Boyce was

looking at Matthew carefully. After all, he knew Matthew’s relationship with Maria before. “I have the

surveillance video copy. Do you want to take a look? Although she was wearing a mask, we analyzed

technically. It was her exactly.”

Sure enough, everything had approved his guess.

In the past, he thought the reason why Maria was against Dolores was that Dolores had married him.

It wasn’t until now did he realized that Maria hated Dolores because of more reasons rather than only

their marriage.

The incident that happened six years ago was the most important one.

His face pulled extremely long in the gloomy and cold air, looking quite horrible.

“Do you have any clue about her?” Now he could almost be sure that Maria had something to do with

Dolores’ disappearance.

“I’ve asked my men to keep an eye on her as soon as the result was found. So far we haven’t found

her,” said Boyce.

“Please look for her as soon as possible.” His hands clenched tightly. “I’ve underestimated her

viciousness.”

Boyce looked at his gloomy face, inhaling. “I’ll add more men.”

He immediately called his subordinates, hurrying up to look for Maria’s whereabouts.

“Don’t panic. The Herbert family is rooted in this city. Even if Maria Herbert escaped, her family is still

here,” said Boyce.

Matthew’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “Dolores is missing.”

“What?” Boyce was confused. “Wasn’t she totally fine during the daytime?”

“I lost contact with her at night.” His voice was quite distant as if his words were floating in the air,

vanishing in the wind.

Boyce was a detail-oriented man. After all, he was a detective. Immediately, he found the key point.

“Something to do with Maria Herbert?”

Wasn’t it pretty obvious?

Matthew took a glance at Beulah’s body that was under the white cloth. “Why do you think she would

die?”

Boyce thought for a while. “Was it a ploy to buy time?”

The person used Beulah’s death to distract them and buy time. After they had figured out the situation,

Dolores was already taken away by them.

And their ultimate target was Dolores.

Beulah was just a dead piece in the game.

She was already sentenced to life imprisonment. Even if she didn’t die, she would spend the rest of her

life in jail without any freedom.

Hence, if she was offered enough benefits, she should be willing to take the risk.

However, she had already died. What could she do with those benefits offered?

Boyce couldn’t figure it out.

“Let’s go out and have a talk.” He had been in the mortuary long enough. He felt cold now.

The lights in the detention house were all out. Everything was in the dark, making them feel creepy.

After returning to the building, Boyce pushed his office door open. He asked, “Would you like to drink

something?”

Matthew ignored him. He sank into the sofa and said in a gloomy tone, “Please hurry up and look for

her.”

Boyce could tell that he was not in a good mood, well, an extremely bad wood as if he was suppressing

something, which could be exploded at any time. Boyce didn’t dare to retort him. Pulling out his phone,

he called his subordinates again.

Boyce’s subordinates got the call and said quickly, “I was about to call you. We got a clue - Maria

Herbert has appeared in Pal Club earlier. I’m looking for her right here now.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I got it.” Boyce hung up the phone. Looking over at Matthew, he said, “We have a clue. She’s in Pal

Club.”

Matthew stood up suddenly, rushing out without speaking anything.

Boyce followed him. After taking a few steps, he trotted back to take the vacuum cup on the desk. Then

he fastened his paces to catch up with Matthew while gulping down some tea.

Pal Club - it was quite lively now. The nightlife had just begun.

Due to the investigation, those people who came here for fun were called by the policemen to the hall

and lined up, being asked questions.

When the policemen rushed over, Maria had already gone without any trace. She was sitting in a booth

drinking only.

After receiving a call, she left. Now the clue was broken again in Pal Club.

When Matthew and Boyce arrived, they had finished questioning.

“She came here for a drink simply. After getting a call, she left. We have gone to request for the

surveillance nearby, trying to find her traces.”

Boyce gingerly looked over at the man in the dark.

Matthew was emanating an arctic coldness, making people retreat in fear.

Suddenly, he turned around and strode towards the door. Boyce followed him in a hurry. “Where are

you going?”

Matthew didn’t answer him, just getting in the car. Boyce talked to his men, “Keep on looking for her.

Try to make it as soon as possible.”

Then he followed Matthew to sit in his car.

They were downtown, but Matthew sped up the car speed to 110km/h. Fortunately, there were not so

many cars on the street. Otherwise, they would definitely have an accident.

Boyce grabbed the seat belt tightly, looking at Matthew in secret. He had never seen Matthew in such a

panic and acting so recklessly before.

“Do you care about Ms. Flores a lot?” Boyce asked tentatively.

He knew Matthew liked Dolores, but he never expected that Dolores could impact Matthew so deeply.

Who was Matthew Nelson?

He took over WY Group at the age of twenty, and he had been always calm no matter if he was facing

glory or humiliation. Through the decades, he had been through a lot of ups and downs, but he never

changed his expression during them.

However, today, Boyce saw the uneasiness and panic on Matthew’s face.

Matthew looked straight. The outline of his side face and his temple were tightened into a line, the

popped-out veins keeping jumping.

He cared about her, so very much.

And it was not as simple as he cared about her only - he liked that woman.

Soon the car was stopped. Boyce finally realized where they had arrived ...
