Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 85: Got Killed over Greed

Dolores looked down at his hand, which was holding a memory card. Dolores frowned, “What is this?”

Terry looked more serious, “My brother didn’t kill himself. He was murdered.”

It was the same sentence. Dolores was not interested.

“I am sorry. I have other business to take care of. I am leaving.” Dolores paid for her ticket and then

walked to the entrance.

Under the urgent situation, Terry run to her and grabbed her arm, “Six years ago, my brother got a sum

of money, which was given to him by a woman who asked him to hit and kill a woman by car.”

Bang!

Dolores felt like a lightning struck on her head.

Someone tried to kill her six years ago?

“You are the woman that my brother was ordered to kill. But luckily you escaped your death, right?”

Terry spoke his speculation.

After discovering the recording, Terry understood why Dolores found him repulsive and disgusting

whenever she saw him.

Dolores took the memory card from his hand. She observed it carefully and thought it must be a phone

memory card. Only old-fashioned phone used in old days had this kind of card. Smart phone these

days had huge internal memory and didn’t need such things. Dolores put the memory card back on his

hand, “You have evidence in it?”

“If you have time, we can find a place and talk.” Terry knew Dolores would agree.

Dolores agreed as he had assumed. She wanted to know who wanted to kill her too.

That car accident almost made her lose her babies.

“I know a coffee shop nearby. Let’s go there.” Dolores walked ahead to lead the way.

Terry followed her.

The coffee shop was in the neighborhood’s surroundings. Dolores saw it last night.

Soon they arrived at the coffee shop. Dolores found a quiet corner and sat down.

“Would you like something to drink?” Though Dolores wanted to find out the truth immediately, she

thought Terry needed a drink judging by how thirsty he looked.

“I want some water.” He was truly thirsty.

Dolores handed the menu to a waiter, “Get us two cups of water first. We will let you know when we

need something else.”

“Okay.”

The waiter brought two cups of water. After the waiter walked away and Terry drunk a cup of water,

Dolores said, “Spill it. What happened?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Listen to this first.” Terry took out a phone which can accommodate the memory card. He opened the

phone and put the memory card in it. Then he turned on the phone and found the recording in the

memory card before playing it.

There was only a single section of recording, which must be recorded during a conversation.

“If I do as you said and kill that woman by car. Won’t I go behind bars?”

“Don’t worry. I won’t let you get lawsuits or get imprisoned. We will damage the brake of your car ahead

of time and then fake a brake failure. You won’t have to take much responsibility for a car accident

caused by brake failure. Besides, you are sick, and I will also assist you. You should know that you will

get a large sum of money after you finish your job. You won’t make such great money even if you work

for your whole life. This is a good deal for you.”

“Don’t worry. Even if you are imprisoned, I will get you out.” The woman seemed very eager to

persuade him.

At that time, Maria not only wanted to have Dolores taste the pain of a car accident, but also wanted

her life.

She wanted to make Dolores disappear from this world before Dolores and Matthew got a divorce. In

this way, nobody would threaten Maria’s position any more. And Matthew would belong to her and her

alone.

But Maria didn’t know that someone would come rescue Dolores.

She also didn’t know that man took Dolores away from B City. Dolores was gone for six years. She

even gave birth to her babies.

“According to this recording, I speculate that this woman knew my brother needed money and that he

was a truck driver. So she found him and planned the accident.” Terry put the phone back into his

pocket and said.

Dolores rested her head on her hand and thought about the female voice in the recording. It was clear

and familiar. She almost recognized the voice at the second she heard it.

It belonged to Helen, who was Maria now.

It was Maria who made Jessica suffer from mental disease before, which was later controlled and

cured by Sampson. So Jessica was like a normal person now. Therefore, Dolores didn’t want to hold

on to it.

The reason why she didn’t want to hold to it was because Maria was Sampson’s sister.

But now...

Dolores had always thought the car accident was caused by brake failure. But it wasn’t.

“You know who the woman in the recording is, right?” Terry asked tentatively.

Dolores raised her head and kept turning around the cup in her hand in an irregular way. She didn’t

answer him but asked, “I am curious about how you obtained this recording?”

Terry’s face froze and then he lowered his head.

“You are not talking?” Dolores let go of the cup and stood up, “Thank you for telling me this.”

Terry suddenly raised his head and looked at her. He asked in astonishment, “Aren’t you going to look

into this? Someone tried to kill you.”

Dolores indifferently looked at Terry, who looked very eager, and said, “It’s my business whether to look

into it or not.”

“But, don’t you think if we work together, the odds that we will win are higher?” If they worked together,

he could bring the woman who killed his brother into justice, and Dolores could revenge on the woman

who tried to kill her. Wasn’t it a win-win cooperation?

Why did Dolores look so calm and indifferent after she learned about the truth?

“But you are holding something back from me, aren’t you?” The truth did surprise her, but it didn’t make

her lose her mind. There was something that Terry didn’t confess to her.

Terry lowered his head and his nervous hands kept rubbing on each other.

“After you tell me everything, I will think about whether to cooperate with you.” Dolores looked out of

the window and said plainly, “That woman, isn’t someone you can bring into justice with only some

evidence.”

If it was before, it wouldn’t be that difficult.

But now Maria was a member of the Herbert family, which had both money and power.

How could it be easy to bring her into justice?

“Wait...” When Dolores arrived at the door, Terry stood up and looked at her back, “Sit down.”

Dolores looked back and watched him, “You made up your mind?”

Terry pursed his lips hard and nodded.

Dolores sat back on her stool.

“If you want to cooperate with me, you have to tell me everything you know.”

Terry took in a deep breath and looked at Dolores, “I had been investigating on my brother’s death, but

I couldn’t find any useful clues until I received that call.”

“What call?”

“My brother stored something in Ping An Insurance when he was alive. When the lease for the locker

room expired, no one went to get it. So the staff called me.” Terry said honestly, “I am the second

number that my brother put in the registration form. They couldn’t get through to the first number, which

was my brother’s number, so they contacted me.”

Dolores didn’t say anything and listened to him in silence.

“My, my brother seemed to have stored it on purpose.” Terry lowered his head.

“Why did he do it?” Dolores looked at him and asked.

Speak no ill of the dead. Terry didn’t want to expose the disgusting things that his brother did when he

was alive. After all, they two shared a mother.

Terry lowered his head and kept silent.

Dolores waited for him for several minutes, but he still said nothing.

“If you don’t tell me the truth, and I don’t know about the whole thing, how can I cooperate with you?

Now that you don’t trust me, why did you stop me from leaving?”

“I do trust you.” Terry denied instantly.

“It was possible that my brother recorded the conversation on purpose when he was talking to that

woman. After he finished his job, he got the money...But maybe he found her later and wanted to

blackmail and threaten her with the recording. So he was killed.”

In a word, his brother died over greed.

Dolores figured out the whole thing now. His brother was the driver who was bought by Maria to kill her

with a car accident. After the accident, Dolores went abroad. But his brother was too greedy and went

back to blackmail Maria after he was paid. So his brother was killed.

“What are you going to do? You won’t let the woman who tried to murder you walk free, right?” Terry

asked in eagerness.

“The whole thing is clear now, but it won’t be easy to upend this old case.” Dolores stood up, “I have

something else to attend to today.”

“I can driver you there.” Terry stood up too, “I have a car.”

Dolores looked at him and nodded.

After they got in the car, Terry wrote his number on a piece of paper and handed it to her, “This is my

phone number. You can call me whenever you want. I will introduce myself again. I am Terry.”

Dolores got the paper, “I will memorize it. You can call me Dolores.”

“Okay.” Terry focused on driving and soon the car stopped in front of the shop in decoration.

Theresa was waiting at the door in angst. Seeing Dolores, she run to her, “What took you so long?”
