Snare of Love

Chapter 740 The Bane Has Been Planted Long Ago

Touching the fresh petals of the lilies, Emma said in a low voice, “Lily is kind of elegant flower with good

meanings.”

Dolores looked at her, “Are you here to praise the lilies?”

It wasn’t because that she disliked Emma, but Emma was one from the Bailey family. Under such a

circumstance, they would never become good friends.

Emma took a step back and bowed at Dolores, “I apologize for what I’ve done to you before.”

Dolores felt quite surprised at her behavior. However, she was still alert. She pressed her lips in

silence.

Emma knew that Dolores was still alert to her and Dolores wouldn’t believe her so easily.

She didn’t come here to make Dolores believe her, anyway.

“Mrs. Nelson, I believe Mr. Nelson and you love each other deeply, right?” Although she was asking a

question, she stated it. She sat on the chair next to the bed.

“To be honest, I shouldn’t have come to see you. After, our relationship...” She raised her head and

looked at Dolores, “I know they have made mistakes and deserve the punishments. I shouldn’t take

any revenge. But, they are my family. Mrs. Nelson, do you know how I feel?”

“Well, you should tell your family members who have made mistakes and are still alive that this is a

society ruled by the law. Since they have broken the law, they must bear the consequences and take

responsibility. No one could escape. You feel sorry for your family, but how about those victims’ families

who have been hurt by them? If a person couldn’t stand in others’ shoes when thinking, the person isn’t

mature at all. He or she is paranoid. You said you could understand it, but actually, you don’t. You

believe that it’s fair only if either my husband or I would suffer. In fact, what you need to do is to tell

Declan Bailey that this is a fair world. He has made mistakes, so he has to try hard to correct them and

learn to become a good man. If he kept being paranoid, no one would be able to rescue him. Don’t you

think so?”

Emma was enlightened. Indeed, she had been thinking everything from her perspective. She believed

that only if Matthew suffered in his life could pay back her father’s death and her younger brother’s

freedom.

She had prepared a lot of words ahead before coming here, but right now, she couldn’t utter any word

now.

Dolores didn’t want to stand at the commanding height of morality and accuse anyone, but she only

wanted to tell Emma the right truth.

If a person made a mistake but he or she didn’t need to pay the price, the world would be chaotic for

sure.

Whose personal safety could be guaranteed in that case?

“If you still love your younger brother, you should tell him to be a good man. A gentleman should make

money in a proper way. He shouldn’t have done those outrageous things without conscience to earn

unjust money. You should know clearly what your brother was doing before. Your parents didn’t stop

him but instead, they covered him up. The bane has been planted long ago.”

Emma had to admit what Dolores said was right.

If her father were not a corrupted official, nor had he abuse his power to cover up her younger brother,

and had told him what to do and what not to do, neither her brother nor her father would have ended up

in this way.

Emma came to see Dolores because she wanted to tell Dolores that she had given up, but Matthew

and she owed her. However, upon listening to Dolores’s words and thought for a moment, she didn’t

think it was their fault at all.

They just disclose the truth and let the people who had committed crimes receive the punishments they

deserved.

Emma closed her eyes slowly.

She felt so complicated.

Suddenly, she giggled, “Sure enough, I’m one of the Bailey family. I think and do things so differently

from others, don’t I?” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Dolores didn’t think it had anything to do with the fact that she was from the Bailey family.

It only depended on personal thought and consciousness.

Charles’s mother-in-law, the third daughter of the Bailey family, Maisy, had a clear vision. She didn’t get

involved in the things that happened in the past. She and her husband could distinguish right and

wrong.

“Tell me. Why did you come to see me?” Dolores asked while looking at her.

“I just came to pay you a visit,” Emma said indifferently, “Abbott is quite loyal to Mr. Nelson.”

Dolores squinted, wondering what she meant.

What does she have to do with Abbott?

“I’m glad that I’ve come here today. Right now, I felt quite enlightened. I used to think that I’m too selfish

because I only cared about my own business. After listening to you, I feel that I didn’t do anything

wrong to anyone.” She stood up and said again sincerely, “I’m quite sorry for what I’ve done to you in

the past.”

“I can understand. If I were you, I might also want to avenge my family. No matter what mistakes they

have made, the family affection cannot be changed. It’s normal that you felt sorry for them and quite

reluctant.”

“Thank you for being understanding.” Emma had never expected that Dolores could be so reasonable

and fair. She had just thought that Dolores was good-looking only.

Now she had found the advantage on Dolores.

“If we’ll meet in the future, I hope we could be friends.”

She reached out her hand, “May I shake hands with you?”

Dolores reached out her hand and shook hands with her. Then they pulled back their hands quickly.

“I’m taking off now.”

Dolores nodded.

Out of the hospital, Emma went to the prison, but she couldn’t see Declan in person.

To avoid the matter that happened last time from happening again, no one was allowed to see him.

She wrote a letter and asked someone to deliver it to him.

Then according to her plan, she went to the hotel.

However, she didn’t arrive there as planned. She was late.

Matthew had planned to make her reap the fruits of her own actions, well, even letting her get a more

ruthless end.

Emma just planned to set him up so that he would get laid by a woman.

Matthew would follow her plan - he had taken out a dead prisoner from the jail and put him in the hotel

room. Then she would be framed to murder someone.

Matthew didn’t do such a heartless thing, but this woman was way too eager to take revenge. If she

couldn’t be get rid of completely, Matthew wouldn’t feel easy.

Moreover, Dolores’s health had a problem now, so he must guarantee Dolores’s safety.

Boyce and he set up the trap, waiting for Emma who was carrying out her plan to show up. However,

she hadn’t shown up at the time mentioned by Abbott.

Boyce said, “Did she lie to you?”

Abbott said affirmatively, “No, she didn’t.”

As soon as he answered, Emma showed up at the door.
