Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Stanford’s pale face looked sulky, “Who did that?”

Atwood stared at Stanford and said, “The fallen Bailey family. They held grudges on the Nelson family back then, so they messed with Matthew’s car. Matthew was initially the Baileys’ target, but…”

Atwood stopped. He didn’t know how to tell Stanford the rest of what happened.

Abbott allowed Atwood to investigate what happened previously, and he also allowed Atwood to learn about the truth down to every detail. Only a few people knew about what happened after all this time. Abbott got another person to impersonate the maid who worked in the mansion when the accident happened.

Coral was the only maid Abbott knew who knew what happened, but Coral passed away a few years ago. So, Abbott got another old lady to impersonate Coral and asked her to tell Atwood what happened in the car accident.

The old lady impersonated Coral, but she said was true.

Of course, Atwood thought that was the real Coral.

Abbott was experienced after all. Atwood totally didn’t felt anything strange under Abbott’s arrangements.

Stanford felt impatient, “What? Don’t make me guess.”

“Boyce was the driver because Amanda knew it was Lucy’s birthday, but Matthew wasn’t in the house that day. So, Boyce drove them out to buy a cake. Then, they got into the car accident on the way,” Atwood tried his best to illustrate what happened with the shortest version he could come out with.

“If I remembered correctly, that was your mother’s birthday, wasn’t it? Amanda wanted to buy a cake for your mother. The car accident was a plot, and Amanda and Boyce were a victim as well. They just got lucky…”

“Stop it,” Stanford stopped Atwood out of a sudden. He tried his best to cover it up, but his voice was shaking, “Get out.”

Atwood didn’t move. He consoled Stanford, “Don’t blame yourself. Luckily Mrs. James was alright.”

“Get out!” Stanford shouted. Then, he lowered his voice, “Leave me alone.”

Stanford was weak, and he panicked. He was no longer the dominant and cold person he used to be.

Stanford was only a human who did mistakes and didn’t know how to make it up.

Atwood didn’t dare to leave. Stanford looked terrible right now. He consoled Stanford, “Mrs. James is fine. You still have a chance to make it up to her.”
