In the house, the maids were making breakfast and the others seemed to have not wakened up.
“Should I come to wake…”
“No need.” Loredana interrupted the maid.
She once lived in this place. Last time, she came and left hastily and didn’t have time to step into the room where she once stayed in. Although her memories about this place were not that pleasant, this was the place where she had stayed during her childhood after all.
She had some feelings for this place.
Loredana went upstairs to the second floor and headed towards the room where she once lived to have a look, but she found there were some sounds from inside the room. She gently pushed open the door and found this room had been occupied by Annabelle.
Annabelle was lying on the bed, and Beulah was sitting by the bedside seeming to be a bit disappointed, “I didn’t expect that she would run away.”
“What?” Annabelle suddenly sat up from the bed, “How could she escape?”
Beulah’s face darkened, “I was so careless with this matter. I thought she was just a girl and that sending one man was enough to handle with her. But I hadn’t expected that man was so useless. He even failed to catch a woman!”
Annabelle shouted in fury, “If she’s not ruined, how will Cormac disgust her and then divorce her? If they don’t get divorced, how will I have the chance?”
Beulah covered Annabelle’s mouth with her hand, “Keep your voice down, or else your father may hear it.”
Annabelle said in a lower voice, “But I’m so angry…”
“Aren’t I angry?” Beulah’s expressions were hideous, “If she wins Cormac Mendelsohn’s favor and revenges herself on us relying on the powers and forces of the Mendelsohn family, we will be dead meat.”
“So we must ruin her now,” Annabelle said ferociously.
Beulah was more scrupulous, “We failed this time, and I’m afraid that she has been aware of this. It will be a bit difficult to set her up…”
“You…” Annabelle caught a glimpse of the person who was standing at the door and jumped off the bed. She pointed at Loredana and said ferociously, “How… How come you’re here?”
Loredana originally thought that it was Helen who wanted to set her up, but she hadn’t expected that it was planned by Beulah and Annabelle.
Beulah was also astonished when she saw Loredana, “When did you come upstairs? What did you hear?”
Loredana sneered. Beulah had snatched her mom’s husband – her father and had been using her mom’s dowries. She just wanted to get back her mom and her belongings.
But she hadn’t expected that Beulah would intend to ruin her!
How ironic!
They were afraid that she would use the powers and forces of the Mendelsohn family?
“What did I hear?” Loredana sneered, fixating her stare at Beulah, “I heard all I should know. I heard every word you spoke!”
Loredana hadn’t expected that one of the reasons why they wanted to ruin her was that they were afraid that she would take revenge on them relying on the powers and forces of the Mendelsohn family.
She hadn’t expected this before, but now the situation was different.
What they wanted to set up was not only she herself, but also the baby in her belly!
It turned out that her concession was just a symbol of being weak and easily bullied in their eyes?
“Even if you’ve heard it, so what?” Since the secret couldn’t be hidden anymore, Beulah decided not to continue the acting.
“Yep. Who do you think you are? You are abandoned by dad. You’re just a…”
“Why are you so noisy early in the morning? You… Why are you here?” Garrett originally intended to reprimand them, but when he noticed Loredana’ presence, he shifted the topic.
Loredana glanced over Beulah and Annabelle, and then fixated her gaze on Garrett, “You want the land of Repulse Bay, right?”
Garrett was stunned for a moment, “You got it?”
Beulah and Annabelle also fixated their gazes on her with great eagerness.
They seemed to be very shocked as Cormac treated her quite well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given her the contract of Repulse Bay.
Loredana noticed all their repressions. It looked like she had to assume Cormac’s authority as her own.
She pretended to be relaxed and her face showed the shyness and happiness that always appeared on the face of a woman who was in love, “What’s wrong with him gifting me something? We’re a couple after all.”
“Impossible!” Annabelle refused to accept this. She had been brainwashing herself that what she had seen before was just an illusion.
Cormac wouldn’t have feelings for Loredana!
Beulah grasped Annabelle’s shoulders and shook her head, suggesting her not to be excessively emotional.
If Loredana really had got the land of Repulse Bay, Garrett would definitely change his attitude towards her.
The Mendelsohn family was quite powerful after all.
Undoubtedly, Garrett wanted to have some connections with the Mendelsohn family and take advantage of these connections. In addition, Garrett’s company had encountered some problems recently.
As expected, when Loredana finished the words, a long-lost smile crept onto Garrett’s face, “Have you had breakfast? If you hadn’t, what about having breakfast here before leaving?”
Garrett wasn’t a person who always wore a straight face. It was just that he had never smiled at
Loredana.
Loredana looked at Garrett, feeling bitter and sad. Seeing that he could still make use of her, he even changed his attitude towards her, right?
So in his heart, she was just a person whom he could make use of?
This was her biological father! How ironic!
“I’ve had breakfast. I’m just coming to inform you to pack up my mom’s dowries and my belongings. I’ll send you the contract tomorrow.”
After finishing the words, she turned around and went downstairs. Maybe the pain in her heart was sharp enough for her to forget the pain on her knees.
Garrett caught up to her, “Come back. You haven’t had a meal at home. Leave after having breakfast here.”
Loredana turned around and looked into his eyes, “What the heck do you want to do again?”
According to Garrett’s way of doing things, he wouldn’t care for her if he didn’t need her to do something.
Being seen through, Garrett decided not to conceal his intention and said in a much gentler voice,
“Lola, the company was now having some problems. Can you please ask Cormac to help me solve them?”
Loredana retrieved her gaze, went downstairs with one of her hand on the handrail, and asked indifferently, “What happened to the company?”
“There was a collapse during the construction of one of the buildings we invested…”
On the one hand, the company was facing a lawsuit; on the other hand, it had brought a great impact on the company’s reputation.
The products that the company had invested in were all disgusted by the public.
The company was almost unable to take back the capital.
Even if Loredana gave the development rights of Repulse Bay to him, he would not have money to invest in it.
So the major concern, for now, was to solve the collapse accident.
If Cormac could help him quiet down the public opinions and use his personnel network to solve the lawsuit, he and the company would be able to get through this crisis.
Loredana glanced upstairs, “I can help you, but I have a condition.”
Garrett’s expressions froze. He seemed to have not expected that she would have the other condition and wondered what it was this time.
His face uncontrollably became sullen.
“Rest assured. I don’t want your money. You just need to return all those that belong to me and my mom. I can help you, but…”
“But what…” asked Garrett.
“I will help you only if you divorce Beulah.”
Garrett was thrown into a dilemma.
Loredana didn’t say more about this as she wanted to see how much her father’s love for that woman was.
Was that woman more important than the survival of his company?
“Lora…”
