Loredana got more confused, wondering why Cormac would have done so.
Seemingly she recalled that there was a pregnant woman who wanted to commit suicide by jumping off. Loredana wanted to convince that pregnant woman and told her that she could give all her money to the woman.
So in Cormac’s mind, it turned out that she didn’t want anything to happen to Garrett.
Actually, she just didn’t want that pregnant woman to be in danger, because Loredana was pregnant at that time as well. She didn’t want the incident to happy on that pregnant woman.
Later, it was Cormac who offered the woman some money. Later, he wanted to divorce her and she left China, totally cutting off the domestic contacts, so she didn’t know how the matter had been resolved.
“I feel that he likes you a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped me because of you.” Garrett locked himself in the room because of this matter. It was not because he was excited but he regretted it. If his relationship with Loredana didn’t become so terrible, now the Flores family must have been leading a much better life.
Last time, by accident, he saw Maxina with two children, so he decided to chase after Maxina again and gain Loredana’ forgiveness.
He believed that Cormac was those children’s father. Since Loredana had given birth to such two lovely children to Cormac, Garrett guessed that Cormac must treat Loredana not badly.
In that case, perhaps he could be benefited as well.
If Loredana had nothing now, Garrett wouldn’t flatter her in such a humble way.
A human’s nature couldn’t be changed easily.
Loredana had never expected that Cormac would still take care of Garrett after she had left.
She doubted if he had done just truly because of her.
“I won’t bother you. I’ll sit in a quiet place. It looks so vivid here with so many people. You can just take me as a stranger attending this ceremony.” Garrett was afraid of being kicked out by Loredana, so he took the initiative to escape and find a quiet place to stay.
Loredana ignored him, letting him do whatever he wanted.
It wouldn’t be that easy for her to forgive him as he wished.
The pains that he had given her and Maxina had become a scar that would never disappear.
Whenever they recalled, it still hurt.
Beulah was so furious. Her original well-maintained face had lost its gloss after being tortured in jail.
Glaring at Loredana, her eyes seemed to pop out the next second, looking so creepy.
She had never seen Garrett being so humble to another person, but now he had done it.
And he had done it when talking to Loredana.
Beulah couldn’t accept this change as well as her failure, which had been changed all because of
Loredana’ return to town.
‘Go to hell! Go to hell!’ she cursed crazily in her heart.
Dumping the mop, she strode to Loredana. Before standing in front of her, Beulah pulled out the prepared dagger from her pocket. “Loredana Flores, go to hell!”
“Watch out!”
When Loredana turned around, she saw the woman rushing towards her like a ghost from the hell –
Beulah looked terrifying with a sparkling dagger in her hand, stabbing towards her chest directly-
The pupils of Loredana’ eyes suddenly shrank, in which the sharp dagger was reflecting. Seemingly she had already imagined how painful once the sharp blade was stabbed into her body…
Beulah was so close to her, and Loredana was so nervous that she forgot to react.
At the critical moment, a dark shadow pounced at her and grabbed her arm to pull her away. She bumped into a warm and strong chest. Feeling dizzy, she was spun.
Then she heard a fierce voice, “Go to hell!” Beulah’s body was flying out far away, bumping onto the legs of the desk directly. The tableware and drinks on the table were knocked over, falling onto the ground with a loud bang.
Cormac looked aside sharply. “How did she get in?”
Theresa hurriedly explained, “She was newly hired yesterday to clean the hall.”
She was startled just now as well. Unexpectedly, a cleaner dared to assassinate Loredana.
Loredana returned to her senses. Leaving Cormac’s embrace, she dealt with the follow-up matters calmly. She called over the security guards and asked them to take Beulah away from the hall. As for the reason why she appeared here, she would look into it later.
“Theresa, please call someone here to clean the floor.”
“Okay.”
“I’m terribly sorry. An accident happened just now. Sorry for frightening you.” After apologizing to the guests, she pulled Cormac to the lounge.
Maria was standing outside the crowd, witnessing the whole scene calmly.
She felt that it was a pity that Loredana wasn’t stabbed to death.
However…
Maria’s eyes looked vicious.
Cormac followed Loredana to the lounge.
“Show me your arm.” Loredana looked at his left arm. When she saw him kicked Beulah away, the dagger in Beulah’s hand was cut across his arm.
Fortunately, he didn’t get injured. Perhaps he acted quite fast so he dodged.
She checked his arm carefully.
He didn’t get injured.
“Are you worried about me?” He looked a bit moved.
“I don’t want you to get hurt because of me.” Loredana looked down.
She had thought that she was unable to avoid being injured today.
Much to her surprise, Cormac could appear in time and protected her in his arms.
She had to admit that she felt moved.
Besides that, she also felt her love for him.
All for this man.
“Good you are not injured. I’ll go out to check if it has impacted…”
“Don’t you have anything to speak to me?” Cormac interrupted her words, half-squinting.
“What?” Loredana looked up at him.
Soon she understood what he was referring to.
“A few days ago, we met each other. She told me to invite her to attend the opening ceremony…”
“So you did invite her to come over, didn’t you?” His tone sounded so gloomy and creepy. “Do you know who she is?”
Loredana held her breath, clenching her hands into fists. “Yes, I do.”
“But still you are in touch with her, aren’t you?” This time he didn’t cover his unhappiness, unpleasantness, and disappointment.
“She’s not a bad woman-”
“How long have you known her?” Cormac sneered. “What benefits has she offered you? Has she bribed you?”
His gaze fell on her wrist. He had never seen her wearing any jewelry before. She would wear a watch at the most, which was the only jewelry she had. He wondered where the jade bracelet came from.
“Did she give it to you?”
Loredana hid her hand behind her. However, Cormac pulled it out. He stared at the jade bracelet. “Do you like such kind of things?”
Loredana shook her head. “Nope.”
“Then why did you keep it?”
“I didn’t have the heart to refuse her.”
There were flames in his eyes, and seemingly they were getting fiercer.
“Is she quite pitiful?” He couldn’t understand why she didn’t have the heart to say no.
“No, she isn’t.” Under such circumstances back then, when looking into Victoria’s eyes, Loredana couldn’t refuse her.
“Perhaps she used to have something unspeakable back then.” Loredana tried to explain for Victoria.
Cormac sneered. “How long have you known her? Now you dare to plead for her in front of me.”
