Snare of Love

“No, I don’t want it!”

Maria was shaking her head like crazy. She repeatedly said, “I don’t want it. I don’t want to get even with you. I want you to love me.”

Her tears and messy hair made her look miserable and embarrassed.

Even so, Matthew’s heart still didn’t soften.

“Dinner is ready…” Camilla walked in to inform Landon that dinner was ready and they could start eating, only to find that Maria stabbed Matthew with a knife in her hand.

The bright red blood got Camilla nervous immediately.

She exclaimed.

It was not until then did all people in presence returned to their senses. Jayden snapped in a deep tone, “Hurry up! Call an ambulance!”

Landon, who was taken aback, yelled at Sampson sitting closest to them, “Hurry up and pull away your sister!”

Originally it was Matthew’s fault, but he got injured in the Herbert family’s house.

That left them at a disadvantage instead of advantage again.

Since things happened until now, it would be no good for Landon. He was furious but he couldn’t vent it out. His hands clasped on the table edges, blue veins breaking up on them.

Crack!

When Sampson pulled his sister away, the knife dropped on the floor, making a crisp sound.

The blade was stained with bright red blood.

“Ah! Matthew, are you all right?” Maria returned to her senses. She reached her hand, aiming to touch his wound.

Matthew tossed off her hand. Right then, a ringing tone rang in the living room.

Everyone looked over at Mathew’s coat on the sofa where the ringing tone was from.
