Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 208

The purpose of Dolores asking this question was to find out from Victoria's answer whether Charles was lying or not.

Upon hearing Dolores's words, Victoria's face, which had just brought back the roses, instantly turned pale again. She stared at Dolores and felt like she had fallen into an ice cave, chilling from the top of her head to the tips of her toes.

She actually knew Nathan?

"Are you uncomfortable talking about it?"

Dolores sensed her hesitation.

She hurriedly denied it, "No."

Kevin had forced her to a dead end, and she had no other choice.

"How did you get into danger?" Victoria asked with concern.

"You don't have to worry about this. Matthew has helped me out and I'm fine now. I want to know about you, was it also a conspiracy for me to be brought here by Kevin to learn the craft of tea silk making?"

Dolores felt that a huge conspiracy was looming behind her, but she couldn't peer into it.

Victoria closed her eyes and also made up her mind in this short period of time.

What was done was done, and there was nothing she could do to change it.

However, she was afraid it would cause big trouble for Dolores. Her cold, uncontrollably trembling hand clasped Dolores's hand, "You're a good girl."

Her eyes reddened slightly, and her voice changed its intonation. "I can tell you everything, but you have to promise me one thing."

Since she was Matthew's real mother, then of course she wanted her son to be good. Now she had given birth to two children for Matthew, so she must also like her, or at least not hate her. Moreover, she gave her the Forbis family's ancestral jade bracelets, so she definitely wouldn't hurt her.

Dolores nodded and said, "I promise you, go ahead, what is it?"

"You must keep everything I tell you a secret, and you can't say anything to anyone, including Matthew."

Dolores's eyelids drooped slightly as she had expected such a request. If she wasn't afraid of Matthew knowing about this, how could she try every possible way to conceal it?

She just didn't understand what kind of past was there that she couldn't even recognize her own son?

There were thousands of pains in this world, such as old age, sickness, death, love, hate and separation; however, the most heart-breaking and tragic was that I couldn't acknowledge you even though you were right in front of my eyes.

Dolores was tempted to ask her what exactly was more important than recognizing her son?

But when the words came to the tip of her tongue, she swallowed them again. If there was no difficulty that she couldn't mention, how would she like to be separated from her own children?

Dolores looked up at her and replied seriously, "Alright, I promise you."

Victoria didn't feel relieved, on the contrary, she felt increasingly heavy-hearted. She never intended to pull Dolores into the whirlpool of the past, but the current development was beyond her expectations.

Her involvement was bound to be detrimental to her.

Victoria pondered for a few seconds, but still couldn't muster up the courage to open her mouth.

Victoria never expected that Mrs. White would want her family's cloth-making technology.

At that moment, she realized that humans actually had two faces. They could change in an instant to catch you off guard, to make your heart ache like being cut with a knife, to show you what a fool you turned out to be. You treated them as your family, but they only wanted to take away what belonged to you.

"What if I don't want to?" The Forbis family's cloth-making technology had been passed down from ancestors and had never been passed on to outsiders. Only the blood relatives of the Forbis family were entitled to the true teachings.

How could she hand over her ancestors' belongings to others? Besides, if she handed over the technique of making tea silk, would it still belong to the Forbis family?

She couldn't let the technique of making tea silk be ruined in her generation.

Mrs. White snorted, "I tried to give you a favor, but you gave me shit. Your engagement with Nathan will also be terminated. From now on, you have nothing to do with him, and there is no longer any relationship between the Whites and the Forbis!"

Mrs. White's ruthlessness let Victoria know that Mrs. White initially agreed to her being with Nathan only because she was interested in the Forbis family's cloth-making technique. Now, since she refused to hand it over, and the Forbis family was facing a major crisis, she showed her true colours.

However, her feelings for Nathan were real.

"If you want to break off the engagement, you ask Nathan to talk to me in person." Victoria didn't cry, even though her heart was dripping blood at the moment. She stubbornly refused to shed a single tear in front of Mrs. White.

Mrs. White sneered, "Good, good, very good, you're doing it the hard way now!"

Soon, Victoria received a blow from the White family to her.

The White family unilaterally announced the cancellation of the engagement with the Forbis family. As a result, the Forbis family, which was already on shaky ground, suffered an even more difficult situation. The buyers, who had previously promised to give them time to raise money, immediately asked the Forbis family for money as soon as they heard that the White family had drawn a line with them. If they couldn't pay, those buyers would take their villa to auction and rob their cloth-making technology.

Just when Victoria was at the end of her rope, a woman reached out to her.
