‘Loredana’s’ voice came over immediately.
Armand stretched his head, wanting to hear what the person on the other end of the phone was saying.
Cormac glanced at him sideways and handed the phone over, “You want to take it?”
Armand gasped, shook his head quickly and said embarrassedly, “You take it, you take it.”
In order to prove that he didn’t want to snoop, he took a step back and distanced himself from him.
“When are you coming back? I miss you so much.” At this moment, ‘Loredana’ stood in the hotel room drawing circles on the table with her fingers and said in an aggrieved tone, “Abbott won’t let me go out to meet you. Why is he doing that?”
Cormac’s face was expressionless and his tone was slightly cold, “Give the phone to him.”
‘Loredana’ thought that Cormac was going to reprimand Abbott, so she couldn’t help but feel a little proud and handed the phone over, “Hey, don’t say that I didn’t remind you, offending me is not good for you.”
Abbott stared at her. With the same face as Loredana, how could her character be so bad?
Sure enough, she was a fake, and the quality wasn’t guaranteed.
He reached out his hand to pick up the phone and put it to his ear, “Mr. Mendelsohn.”
‘Loredana’ didn’t know what Cormac said to him, but his expressions became serious, “Yes, I understand.”
And in her eyes, Cormac had scolded him. She turned around and sat on the sofa, “See? I told you that Cormac cares about me very much. You are being so disrespectful to me. Wait till I see him, I will tell him everything.”
Abbott hung up the phone and said faintly, “If you want to tell him, then I won’t stop you. In fact, let’s go to him right now.”
In fact, Abbott didn’t pay attention to her words at all.
She, a fake, dared to raise her voice and make a scene? Not even afraid of getting caught.
Exasperated, ‘Loredana’ thought that she was going to see Cormac and got up from the sofa quickly, ignoring the pain in her foot, “Is he waiting for me?”
Abbott pursed his lips, “Yes.”
“Huh, you were acting like a snob, now you are struck dumb. Now do you know my position in
Cormac’s heart? I gave birth to two children for him. In the future I will be Mrs. Mendelsohn, if I tell him about your behavior, I can have you fired in a minute!” ‘Loredana’ words became more presumptuous because Abbott hadn’t allowed her to go out and he wasn’t respectful to her.
Annabelle had always had a domineering temperament and now that she had become the person next to Cormac, she was naturally going to be arrogant. Abbott did not flatter her or gave her the attention and respect she demanded, so she held a grudge.
She was not rational enough to know that it was not the time and wanted to go meet Cormac and have him fire Abbott.
Abbott looked at her in a domineering way and smiled, “I shall wait and see.”
‘Loredana’ face looked very ugly.
She had made her decision that when she gained power, the first thing she was going to do was to get
Abbott fired!
“Help me. Can’t you see that my foot is hurt? Are all people around Cormac so dumb?”
Abbott was too irritated to argue with her and stretched out his arm to support her.
They took the elevator down to the hotel lobby, crossed the lobby to the parking lot outside the hotel.
As Abbott was about to get in the car, ‘Loredana’ said sarcastically, “Do you not know who you are?”
Abbott looked back. What did she want now?
“Open the door for me!” She glared at him.
Abbott’s gaze fixed on her face for a few seconds and then he finally reached over and opened the rear door.
‘Loredana’ snorted coldly and sat in the car.
“So stupid! I don’t know how you became Cormac’s assistant.”
Abbott bit his cheek and pursed his lips.
He hoped she could still be this arrogant after reaching the place.
He started the car.
In order to not be found out and be able to stay besides Cormac smoothly, ‘Loredana’ had surveyed who was around Cormac and had a slight cognition. She also had an understanding of the WY Group.
But the direction of Abbott’s car was not clearly on the way to WY Group.
She couldn’t help but frown, “Isn’t Cormac at the company? Where are you taking me?”
Abbott looked at her coldly through the rearview mirror, “You’ll know when you get there.”
Not long after that, the car stopped. ‘Loredana’ couldn’t help but wince when she saw where this was.
She trembled slightly, “You… Why did you bring me here?”
“You’ll know after you have a look inside.” Abbott seemed to not notice her panic look and he went straight out of the car. Yet “Loredana” did not move. Why would anyone want to go to the detention centre? “Abbott, don’t you play tricks with me. What are you planning?”
“What could I possibly do to you? Mr. Mendelsohn values you, do you think I have the balls to mess with you?” Abbott walked towards her and stared at her uneasy but still pretended to be composed look. He sneered. “Didn’t you want to see Mr. Mendelsohn? He’s right inside. Why are you so scared to get in? Are you feeling guilty?”
“I, I’m not, you are!” “Loredana” retorted with guilt. “If you don’t, after you.” Abbott gestured her to get in politely to display his “respect” towards her. “Loredana” stared at him for a few seconds and raised her head. “You better not lie to me, or else you’ll be sorry!” After saying those harsh words, she headed inside, asking, “Where is he?” Abbott led the way in front of her.
“Loredana” looked around. She had been there before. Beulah Shawn had been inside before, and she had paid her a visit. It was also Beulah who gave her the idea to abscond with the money back then.
She told her, “Annie, your father is a cruel man. If he could abandon his first wife easily back then, he could also abandon you and me now. Now that I’m in prison, I’m afraid you’ll be sent away like Loredana if you stay at home any further. I’ll tell you your father’s safe password, leave after getting the money.”
Beulah had been alert after living with Garrett. She had known that the man was cruel and he prioritized his benefit the moment he sent Loredana and Maxina away without hesitance back then. The reason he married Maxina was because of her dowry. When he could no longer take advantage of her, he abandoned her without caring for their past relationship.
She was still young back then and she could attract clients for him during social dinners. Now that she was getting on in years and she was no longer beautiful as before, and Annabelle did not make any outstanding achievements, and Loredana had married Cormac, Garrett might mistreat Annabelle to please his eldest daughter. Therefore, she had thought of a way out for her daughter.
“Loredana” clenched her fists and her heart ached when she thought of Beulah. She was her mother after all, the mother who truly loved and cared for her. Having thought that, she became more determined to stay by Cormac’s side. Without her mother’s sacrifice, she would not have what she had today, therefore she could not disappoint her. She could not fail!
Meanwhile, she had followed Abbott to the interrogation building. It was not the room last time, the room was way bigger. The tempered glass divided the room into two. The inner space was used for interrogation while there were seats for other people to sit at the outer space. Abbott pushed the door open when they reached the entrance. “Loredana” did not go straight in. She only walked in after peeking inside and making sure Cormac was inside.
Armand pulled a chair over for her and pretended that he was not aware of her real identity. He was enthusiastic and deference as he glanced at her from head to toes. “Miss Flores?” Boyce told him she was an impostor. He was slightly shocked when he knew about that. He was amazed by the advancement of today’s plastic surgery skills. He initially thought it was hardly possible to make a person’s face exactly the same as another person’s through the surgery, yet as he looked at her face, he secretly exclaimed of the high similarity.
He predicted that she had done operations all over her body. Her body must have been operated according to Loredana’s, or else she would not have such a thin waist. He could not find a single flaw from her face. “What are you looking at?” “Loredana” frowned and asked, “Is there anything on my face?”
Armand laughed recklessly. “No, your face is perfectly fine, it’s flawless.”
Her heart leapt. She felt that he was implying something from his words. She then moved closer to
Cormac and asked, “Why did you ask me to come here? This place is so creepy.” Without waiting for
Cormac to speak, Armand chimed in, “To ask you to come watch a show.” He then put the chair next to her and sat down. “What show?” “Loredana” turned to him. Armand replied in a subtle way, “You’ll know after a while.”
Cormac was silent the whole time. The ring of lights shined on his face from above and his face looked blurry as if being enshrouded by thin mists. The door of the room was soon opened once again. Boyce walked at the front and was followed by two lofty men clad in black uniform. They were holding a person whose head was covered by a black cover and was unable to walk.
