Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

“Shut up!” As soon as Sheryl began to speak, she was immediately cut off by Helen. “We are all employees of this company, so we should try to get along with each other. She has just accidentally spilt some water on you, but you want to drag this further. Do you think what you are doing is the right thing?”

Sheryl opened her mouth but nothing came out of it. She was really afraid of getting exposed, but she didn’t dare to oppose Helen at the same time too since she had prestige in this company. Perhaps by remaining silent, she could save herself.

Dolores silently watched the exchange between Sheryl and Helen.

She suddenly felt very cold. Not literally, but her heart was so cold as if it had been shut away in an icy abyss.

She didn’t know that marrying Matthew would attract so many hateful women who wanted to target her.

It was originally just a simple deal on both ends, but it had brought on way too many troubles for her.

She couldn’t figure out why the others couldn’t let her carry on with her life in peace even knowing that her marriage with Matthew was just a business deal.

Sheryl was glaring hard at Dolores at that moment.

She could only pretend not to notice her.

Sheryl probably didn’t know that she had been made the scapegoat in this little fiasco.

After a short while, Abbot stopped in front of them and informed Sheryl, “You’re fired as of now.”

Sheryl was visibly stunned, “I didn’t do that on purpose.”

“You should know very well what you have done.” Abbot turned around and swept his gaze over the onlookers. The employees gathering around were craning their necks in anticipation of what Abbott was going to say.

“If you want to figure out what’s going on, go to the security room and watch the surveillance video. This is our company, not the supermarket. We don’t need an employee who’s not cooperative. I hope everyone can keep this in mind.” After making his announcement, Abbott then tried to disperse the crowd, “Go back to your respective positions.”

Everyone solemnly went back to their seats, including Dolores. Matthew emerged from his office and headed towards the meeting room. At the sight of him, Sheryl immediately jogged towards him.

“Mr. Nelson, I really didn’t do that on purpose.”

Matthew didn’t want to entertain her at all as he circled her and continued his stride towards the meeting room.

Sheryl wanted to try again but she was stopped by Abbott, “You know very well what you have done, and you are very familiar with Mr. Nelson’s temper.”

“But...” Sheryl wanted to explain again but she couldn’t form any coherent words.
