Theresa said impatiently, “What the hell do you want?”
Armand took out his business card and handed it to her, “You can call me if you need anything. I will come to the store to tell you if there’s any progress here. During this time, we would have to trouble you to handle the store all by yourself.”
Theresa raised her eyes and looked at Armand. He looked serious. She had just come to China and she was not very familiar with it. To find Loredana, she had to rely on them and she also wanted to know any news about them finding Loredana.
She reached out and took the business card that Armand handed over, “Thank you. Loredana is very nice to me. I will handle everything at the store until she comes back.”
Armand nodded, wondering inwardly if he could find a reason to stop her from leaving.
“How did you come? Do you want me to drive you?”
“I drove here.” Theresa put the business card in her purse and said to him, “Goodbye.”
Saying that she walked towards the car.
Armand ran a hair through his hair and sighed in frustration. Why was it so hard to strike up a conversation with her?
When he used to flirt with women before, did it still take him so much effort?
He shook his head to clear his thoughts, turned around and walked towards the elevator. The elevator stopped with a ding sound and the door opened. Just as Armand was about to walk in, the person inside made him stop in his tracks, “It’s you.”
His voice turned cold immediately, “What are you doing here?”
Warner opened his mouth to answer, “Whatever I am doing here doesn’t have anything to do with you, right?”
The Herbert family was not as good as before, but his reputation and status were still not comparable to him as a lawyer.
Armand frowned, glanced at him indifferently and stepped into the elevator.
Warner straightened his suit and strode out.
He didn’t care about Armand at all.
Armand’s heart was pounding thinking that Cormac was bound to kill Maria. It was impossible for
Warner to not know that his sister was locked up because of Cormac.
So, the question was, why did he come here?
To declare war on Cormac or to plead?
Armand hadn’t figured it out yet. Just then, the elevator door opened and as he walked down the corridor, the entire office area was inexplicably enveloped in a dull atmosphere.
Is this because the boss was in a bad mood so the entire company suffered?
Armand’s throat constricted. It was not cold but he couldn’t help but shudder.
He walked to the door and knocked. When he heard the voice from inside say come in, he opened the door.
The huge office looked dull and deserted. If he hadn’t seen the man sitting behind the desk, he would have thought there was no one in the office.
Armand walked in, closed the door and went to the desk, “What was Warner doing here?”
Before Cormac could answer, he guessed, “He came asking for trouble?” But thinking about Warner’s behavior in the past few years, he felt that he didn’t have the courage to declare war on Cormac.
If Warner was capable enough, the Herbert family would not be what it was today.
Cormac raised his eyes and put a document on the table in front of Armand.
Armand picked it up and opened it. It was a letter of intent of cooperation which was not uncommon between business partners. What was strange about it was that the letter of intent was signed by
Warner and included an important piece of land of the Herbert family.
The Herbert family had a good piece of land in City B, which was left by their ancestors. Although the building was abandoned, the location was good.
“He actually wants to cooperate with you to build a large shopping mall on this piece of land?” Armand felt like he had just seen the devil.
Didn’t Warner regard Cormac as an enemy? But now he brought over his own land and wanted to do a business partnership with Cormac?
“I used to hear a saying: In vanity fair, one second, you fight to death. But then for profit, you can shake hands the next second. I finally saw it today. But the most important thing is, did you agree?”
“Why would I not agree?” Cormac stood up and walked to the French window, leaving a long shadow on the ground.
Today, Warner took the initiative to come to him to show his good intentions. If the Herbert family dared to involve in Maria’s matter, he would finish them.
Since he knew that Loredana’s disappearance was related to Maria, he had made a lot of preparations and the Herbert family was going to be the first to bear the brunt.
After all, Maria was his family. Who knew if they would or wouldn’t go against him to save their reputation?
Now that Warner revealed his weakness, he could hand Maria over to Boyce and Armand. He needed time to find out Loredana’s whereabouts.
As more time passed, Cormac was going to be at more disadvantage to find Loredana.
He didn’t have the time to waste in a fight with the Herbert family.
“Giving up the rook to save the queen. It’s really cruel.” Armand snorted disdainfully, “Do rich families really have no actual feelings for each other?”
Armand’s words were secretly aimed at Cormac.
Cormac’s mother was also a part of a huge family. Her marriage with Jayden could be described as a strong alliance, but emotionally it wasn’t anything that would make someone jealous.
Not long after her death, Jayden married someone else.
This was also a thorn that has been stuck between the father and son since a long time.
Cormac looked at him.
Armand coughed dryly. He shouldn’t have been talking about this at such a time. He straightened his face, “I and Boyce have planned everything, you don’t need to worry about it. Just leave it to me and
Boyce. Boyce hasn’t ben idle, he tried to get Ms. Flores’s whereabouts from her but she kept her mouth tightly shut.”
Boyce had used many methods.
Could a woman’s jealousy be so scary? Armand thought inwardly.
He didn’t know that Maria was more than just jealous.
She felt that Loredana robbed Cormac and took away everything that should have belonged to her. She was loathed her and was resentful.
*Buzzing*
At this time, Cormac’s mobile phone on the table vibrated. Armand took a look and said to Cormac,
“It’s Abbott.”
Then he picked it up and handed it to Cormac.
Cormac took it and answered the call, “Mr. Mendelsohn…” Before Abbott could speak, the phone was snatched away from him, “Cormac, where are you?”
