Sampson continued to remain silent. He was really fond of Loredana.
It was not like he had only known her for one or two years. They had a bond that lasted a decade, so how could he bring himself to tarnish her using such backdoor means? How could he stain their precious bond?
“You are very familiar with the situation in our family. You and big brother are both inexperienced in business, and father is also getting older. This time, father wants me to marry Cormac because he is thinking about the future of the Herbert family. Don’t you agree with me? Or do you want to see our family dwindling into nothingness?” Maria continued to convince him.
“That’s not the reason I should do this.” Sampson still didn’t want to budge.
Although he was slightly older than Loredana, Loredana was the first woman he had liked.
He didn’t want to destroy their memories.
Maria let go of him while taking a step back. She was staring at him with a disappointed look in her eyes.
“My happiness and the family’s future… Aren’t those things more important than your love for that woman?” She was interrogating him now, “You have been at the receiving end of the family’s blessings, yet you have never done anything that benefitted the family. All the while, you were free to do whatever you want by going overseas. Our parents have been very understanding of you, yet in return, what have you ever done for them?”
Sampson felt himself petrify. She was right; he had never done anything for his family’s sake.
“Sampson…”
“Stop saying,” Sampson interrupted her.
He was also in a dilemma. He had no choice but to admit that Maria’s words indeed seared through the weakest part of his heart.
Indeed, he never contributed to the family business at all. Warner was the one doing all the matter.
He had enjoyed the high social status given by his family but he had done nothing for the family.
“Let me think about it.” Sampson lowered his head.
“Okay, I wait to hear your good news then.” Maria did not keep forcing him.
Since he agreed that he would think about it, then there was a possibility to make it happen.
After all, he explicitly refused her last time.
“But, don’t take too long. That won’t be good for both of us.”
Sampson did not utter a word and left.
Loredana closed the chatting application and had finalized the style and the material of the fabric with the customer. Now, the fabric would be made in Country A as the custom-made full dress or the bridal gown was handmade.
As the store here was not ready yet, the fabric could only be made in Country A.
She closed the lid of the computer and rubbed her brow. She thought of the matter that Maxina would face inconvenience when Maxina went out with the two children. So, she wanted to buy a car. Thinking of this, she took out the paper with the phone number given by Terry from her pocket.
She dialled the number accordingly and the call was quickly gotten through.
“Hello”
Terry’s voice sounded.
“Hello, this is Loredana.”
“Oh, oh, I get it.”
“Are you free”
“Yes.”
“I want to buy a car but I haven’t been in China for many years so I’m not very familiar with it. If you’re free, can you bring and accompany me for that”
“Okay, I’ll arrive in your residence area after half an hour.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
After hanging up the call, Loredana saved his number.
Since he needed half an hour, she still had some time. She went to take a shower and changed her dress into a pant and a T-shirt as she needed to see the car later. If there was a demo car for test-drive, it would be inconvenient for her to get in and out of the car while wearing a dress.
After she finished packing her things, Terry also arrived.
She locked the door and went downstairs.
Terry waited at the entrance of her residence area. Seeing her come out, he got out of the car and helped her to open the back door.
“Thanks.” Loredana smiled, “Thank you very much. I can actually just open it myself.”
“It’s okay.” Terry smiled, walked to the front door and sat in the driver’s seat. He glanced back at
Loredana, “You want to buy a car in what price range”
Loredana thought about it, “A car with decent safety performance in between 300 thousand yuan and
500 thousand yuan.”
Terry pursed his lips, “You’re quite rich.”
Loredana coughed lightly, “Not really.”
She had saved some money these years and she owned property abroad. She had sold the car used by her when she was abroad.
Terry wanted to ask her if she had thought carefully about the matter but he did not ask. If she had thought about it, she would definitely tell him so he was afraid that she would be annoyed if he kept asking her.
Loredana could notice his action of wanting to say something.
When she did not see Maria, she decided to forget the whole thing for Sampson’s sake. But after seeing Maria, she knew that even if she wanted to let bygones be bygones, Maria would be unwilling to let her go.
The enmity and malice between them had been formed long ago.
It was certainly impossible for them to bury the hatchet.
“Terry, is it okay if I call you like this” Loredana asked.
“Sure.” This was his name though.
When someone knew that he was named Terry, they would be slightly surprised and would say, “You’re a man, why are you called Terry”
No choice. His name was given by his mother and father.
“Have you learnt about the background of the woman who harmed your elder brother”
Terry shook his head.
“You have heard of the Herbert family in City B, right”
Terry nodded, “Yeah, they became wealthy by starting the jewellery business. Now, this family already has a hundred years of history and is also considered one of the wealthiest families in City B.”
“If I tell you that the person who harmed your elder brother is from the Herbert family, do you still want to have a reversal for your elder brother” Even if it was an ordinary person, it would be difficult to have a reversal for a case many years ago, let alone it was someone with a strong background.
It would be even harder to have a reversal.
If Loredana decided to cooperate with him, she had to know how determined he was.
After all, it was not going to be an easy process.
Terry froze for a moment. It seemed like he did not expect that the woman had such a strong background.
His hand gripped the steering wheel tightly, “I can’t give up just because she’s from a wealthy family. A
murderer must pay with his or her life.”
He said very determinedly.
His elder brother was indeed guilty but whether his brother should be dead or alive, it should be judged by the law.
