“Shouldn’t you be playing kiss me hug me with Loredana right now? What made you think about coming to see me?”
Cormac didn’t change his expressions. His face didn’t give away any emotion, making her unable to figure out his thoughts even slightly.
Maria felt a little uneasy, but she knew that according to their plan, ‘Loredana’ must have reached him smoothly.
Sampson had also left the city with Loredana who had amnesia.
As for her, Boyce couldn’t find any evidence connecting her to the crime and she had arranged a lawyer.
This was a happy ending.
Although she had lost Cormac, she had helped her brother succeed perfectly.
She had originally never been liked by Cormac.
The plan went ahead like this. It was perfect.
But why did he come here?
After finding ‘Loredana’, shouldn’t he be at home with her?
As a result, she was going to be able to let Boyce handle her matter and release her upon failing to find any evidence of her crime.
Everything that happened as Cormac appeared in front of her made her feel uneasy.
“Is Loredana not flirty enough to serve you well…”
*Smack*
Her voice stopped abruptly.
Instead of listening to her filthy words, Cormac’s hand swept through the air and smacked her right across her face very powerfully. Not prepared for this, Maria fell on the ground with her chair with a loud bang. There was a loud noise and dust flew everywhere.
He squatted down in front of her on one knee, “Don’t try to be smart in front of me. You don’t know how much evidence I have against you and I know that you think I don’t know much about you. tell me honestly if you don’t want to die, where is Loredana?”
Maria’s couldn’t hear properly; her mind was buzzing and her face was so numb that she couldn’t feel it at all. Through her messy hair splayed across her face, she grinned with her bloody mouth, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Really?” Cormac ran out of patience now. He stood up, unbuttoned his suit jacket, leaving it completely opened and showing the white shirt inside.
Maria hadn’t recovered from the slap just now, she didn’t know what were his intentions, “You… What are you doing?”
Cormac smiled evilly, “If you don’t want to say it, then let’s change the method.”
Maria’s eyes widened. Just as she was about to say something, he lifted his leg and she felt a gush of breath on her chest. The sky turned upside down as she was kicked into the air. She hit the wall, shattering her spine, causing her torturous pain, as if her flesh was being pulled off her bones.
She fell to the ground convulsing.
Looking at the furious man in front of her with horror, she gasped, “You… do you know?”
But it shouldn’t have been. Even she couldn’t tell the difference between the real and fake Loredana, how could he spot it in a day?
Impossible!
Maria couldn’t believe that Cormac figured out the truth so quickly.
She grimaced with a mouth full of blood, “Don’t try to frame me.”
She firmly believed that it was impossible for Cormac to discover the truth.
At least, not this fast.
Cormac was very silent. Maria couldn’t help but tremble with every foot step that he took towards her.
He looked like a demon walking against the light causing her to tremble with fear and chill.
Maria wanted to move away from him, but when she tried to move every call in her body screamed in pain.
She shivered.
“What do you want?”
Cormac squatted in front of her on one knee and swept the hair that was blocking her eyes away with his fingers, “Tell me truthfully about Loredana whereabouts and maybe you can still live.”
Maria didn’t want to admit that he had already found out that the one they rescued was not Loredana, but his words showed clearly that he knew the one that was next to him was not the real Loredana.
She whimpered with tears and was still unwilling to reveal the truth, “What is so good about Loredana?
Why do you care so much about her? Is it because she gave you two children? But without her, even I, even the fake Loredana besides you, can give birth to your child.”
Cormac frowned, extremely impatient as his voice became even colder, “Tell me, where is she?”
Maria looked at him for a long time and then suddenly smiled.
“Since you already know, I won’t hide it from you anymore. Yes, the one besides you is Annabelle, not
Loredana. It is true that Loredana has left this place with my brother.”
She laughed more and more manically, her face looking hideous, “I know, this time you will definitely not let me go. There is no harm in dying, if it means that I can make you never find Loredana. It will be worth it… ha ha …”
Cormac choked her neck, making her wild laughter immediately getting stuck in her throat and turning into a painful sob.
His gaze was fierce, “I think I am being too kind to you.”
Maria panicked.
Her fragile neck looked like a young bamboo shoot in Cormac’s hand that could be snapped with just light force.
The power of his fingers was amazing. She had heard it before from Boyce that Cormac had practiced his skills in the past and that he was stronger than him. He hadn’t been able to stay because he inherited the Mendelsohn enterprise, but if he had stayed his accomplishments would not have been low.
Leaning against the cold hard wall, she could clearly see the murderous look in Cormac’s eyes. It was bone chilling and the pain already made her want to die.
Did he love Loredana that much?
Maria felt heartache and she squeezed out two words from her throat with difficulty, “I… talk…”
The strength in Cormac’s hand loosened and he let her go.
Being able to breathe freely, she laid on the ground and gasped. Her dry throat made her cough and spit out blood. Her fingers clenched on the ground to make fists.
“Even if you know it, it’s already too late. According to our plan, by the time you find the fake Loredana, the real Loredana would have already been injected with a drug that disturbs people’s nerves and causes memory loss and would have been taken away by my brother away from City B.” She raised her head, looking at Cormac through the messy hair blocking her view, “Our purpose behind inducing amnesia is to make her forget everything that happened to her, her giving birth to her children, meeting you in this world. They can go to a quiet place and live a peaceful life, like ordinary couples. Maybe by now, she is already under my brother, making love to him with all her being…”
Before she could finish her words, Cormac stunned her with a punch.
His eyes looked blood thirsty and every word that Maria said provoked him.
There was blood on his hands but he didn’t know it. He couldn’t stop shaking.
He returned to his senses after a while. Then he got up and left the room.
