Abbott asked him gingerly, “Shall we get off and take a look?”
Cormac threw him a cold glance. Abbott pursed his lips, shutting up unwillingly.
In front of the hotel entrance, Loredana pulled Theresa. “Let’s change a restaurant.”
“You want to leave? No way!” Maria opened her arms and continued blocking Loredana’ way. She was enraged because Cormac had called off their engagement.
Now she met the culprit. How could she let Loredana go so easily?
Loredana’ face totally darkened. “Get out of my way!”
Maria sneered. “Get out of your way?” she said in a ferocious tone, “Loredana Flores, dream on! You’ve ruined my happiness and my future. How could I let you go? I wish I could tear you into pieces and toss your flesh to feed dogs.”
“I’m afraid the dogs wouldn’t eat the thing you give them!” Theresa was unwilling to see her so arrogant.
Maria slapped Theresa across the face. Pointing at Theresa’s nose, she snapped, “Who do you think you are? How dare you speak with me in this way?”
Theresa was startled because of the slap.
She felt burning pain on her cheek.
Loredana clenched her hands. All her blood flew backwards all over her body, and the power gathered on her right hand. She raised her hand and slapped Maria in her left face.
This slap sounded much louder than the one just now.
She didn’t want to tangle with Maria but it didn’t mean that she was a pushover.
Maria slapped Theresa, which was the same as she had slapped her.
Maria’s eyes almost popped out. She couldn’t believe that Loredana had the guts to hit her. “How dare you hit me?”
Loredana clenched her hands. Just now, she slapped Maria with all her strength. Now not only her hand but also her whole arm was numb. She kept calm on her face, though. “If you didn’t offend me, I wouldn’t offend you. It was you who provoked me first. Do you think you are somebody just because you are the daughter of the Herbert family? We’re all human beings and none of us is superior to the other. Since you hit her, you should bear the retribution.”
Retribution?
“You’re the one who deserves the retribution!” Maria pounced at her as if she had gone nuts. “Loredana
Flores, I’m gonna kill you. I’m gonna kill you…”
All the hatred suppressed in Maria’s heart had found a breakthrough on Loredana. Maria was out of control.
She had already lost her mind.
“Are you sure you can win against us two?” Loredana was extremely calm, standing motionlessly.
From nowhere, Theresa found a stick, holding it in her hands. She gazed at Maria with alert. If Maria dared to move, Theresa would hit her on the head.
Maria paused. Since she had returned to the Herbert family, nobody dared to provoke her in this way.
She had been used to the compliment and flattery from others, and she had never been suffered such a loss.
She was so furious.
She couldn’t help trembling because of the fury.
“What are you glaring at? Aren’t you afraid your eyes would fall out?” Shaking the stick, Theresa was ready to raise the stick and hit her.
Maria was so scared that she couldn’t help holding her head tightly.
It was just her instinctive reaction.
But the way she looked was pretty hilarious.
“Ha ha…” Theresa laughed at her.
“Loredana Flores, I won’t let you go!” Maria was so mad that she almost roared hysterically.
‘Ha!’
Loredana sneered.
Let go of her?
When did Maria let go of her before?
“Maria Herbert, you harmed my mother and made her mentally ill, planned my car accident, and almost killed me. Have you ever had mercy and planned to let go of me?” She had been hesitant, wondering if she should revenge Maria because she was Sampson’s younger sister. If she really did something to
Maria, she would feel sorry for Sampson.
After all, Sampson really cared about his younger sister.
However, seeing that Maria had already hated her to the core and never planned to let go of her,
Loredana realized that Maria could continuously hurt her since Maria had already done it to her repeatedly.
Now Loredana was different from how she used to be. She had two kids as her weaknesses.
Nobody would know if Maria would hurt her kids if she had gone nuts.
At this moment, Loredana firmly made up her mind that she would work with Terry to file reserve the case of her accident as well as his brother’s suicide in the past.
She was afraid that only when Maria was punished by the law eventually that her world would become peaceful completely.
Maria was taken aback. Squinting, she asked, “Have you already know I planned the car accident back then?”
After all, it had been so many years. Nobody should have known the truth of the matter back then.
“Nobody would know only if you didn’t do it.” Loredana stressed each syllable.
“Did my brother tell you?” She only told Sampson about this.
Suddenly she felt as if the whole world had betrayed her. Cormac dumped her. Even her elder brother who loved her very much had told this woman her secret.
Loredana’ heart skipped a beat. ‘Does Sampson know it was Maria who planned the car accident back then?’ she wondered.
But he had clearly told her it was an accident before.
Loredana wondered if he said that deliberately to protect his younger sister.
Suddenly, Loredana recalled Sampson’s abnormality that day. He asked her, “In the future, if you’ll find that I’m not that nice, would you hate me?”
She wondered if it was all because of this matter that he looked with a heavy heart that day.
Loredana’ silence became an acquiescence in Maria’s opinion.
“Ha ha… Ha ha ha…” Maria burst into laughter crazily. She laughed too hard that tears all streamed out.
“Such a hypercritical love! All fake!”
She had thought that Sampson treated her truly well.
She had never expected that she was not so important to him as this woman was.
What was so good of this woman?
Why did all men favor her so much?
Theresa was shocked by Maria’s look. She asked in a low voice, “Lola, is she going nuts?”
Loredana shook her head.
“Loredana Flores.”
Suddenly Maria paused, gazing at Loredana so viciously as if her eyes were full of poison, which could kill Loredana by just staring at her. “Loredana Flores, let’s wait and see!”
She as now the daughter of the Herbert family now. There would be a lot of chances to kill Loredana for sure.
She had such chances before.
She would have more chances in the future.
“I’m waiting.” Loredana stood straight, her charisma winning over Maria’s.
Knowing that she wouldn’t be at any advantage if she kept tangling with Loredana in this way, Maria decided to leave and make another plan later.
She regretted that she was too careless and she had underestimated Loredana.
Now she embarrassed herself in this way.
Stepping down the steps, when she was about to drive, Maria saw the man who was walking towards them. Her eyes glinted. She ran towards him immediately. “Cormac…”
Seeing Cormac, Maria almost rushed over, stretching her arms to embrace him.
Cormac stepped aside and dodged. As she was running so fast, Maria couldn’t stop even after she had missed the target. She couldn’t help staggering forward, her ankle twisting.
“Ouch…” she exclaimed. Her legs weakened, falling on the ground.
Abbott stood aside. He had chance to hold her up but he didn’t reach out.
Before she became the family member of the Herbert family, she even flattered Abbott sometimes.
After all, he was a man who Cormac trusted very much, so she was willing to put a little effort on
Abbott.
However, since she returned to the Herbert family and became their daughter, she had been arrogant and put on the air whenever she met Abbott again.
Hence, Abbott became quite unhappy. He didn’t like her as he used to.
Now Maria was a girl from a rich family.
Abbott was just an assistant. So they were not from the same world.
Maria fell on the ground, her knees skinned, her carefully-made hair messed. She looked quite embarrassed.
Raising her head, she looked at Cormac. “Cormac…”
She could not accept the coldness and disregard from him.
He used to treat her lovingly.
His current attitude brought her sense of frustration as if she had fallen down from the heaven to the hell.
She couldn’t accept it at all.
Trembling, she looked at the man standing in front of her. “Cormac…”
Tears welled up in her tears. Her tone was full of grievance and ingratiation.
Cormac walked to her, squatting down. He reached to brush away the messy hair that covered her cheeks.
Looking at her face carefully, Cormac seemingly to see her true color through her features.
“Cormac…”
“Stop calling me,” he interrupted Maria.
Maria was startled, still couldn’t accept the fact.
