My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 68 Sold It Again

Gloria Taylor went out of the Taylor Company and headed straight to the bus stop.

There were many people waiting for the bus at the moment. Suddenly, a familiar black car stopped in front of her.

The window rolled down, Loren Taylor called her out, “Get in the car.”

She hesitated, but she opened the door and went in anyway.

There were the driver and Loren Taylor inside the car. After Gloria Taylor got inside the car, she was silent. She dared not take the initiative to speak.

The driver pulled the car out of the way and stopped by the roadside.

After a while, Loren Taylor spoke in a faint voice, “Gloria, I know that you skip your shift is a misunderstanding. Your sister has suffered so much today. This too shall pass and we will get over it. Don’t take it to the heart.”

“Pass?” Gloria Taylor hissed.

Loren Taylor frowned, “Your sister has suffered so much. What else do you want?”

“This.” Gloria Taylor pointed at her face, “Anne hit me here.”

What made Loren Taylor think that this matter shall pass that easily?

Loren Taylor said coldly, “Why didn’t I find you so vicious before?”

“Like father like daughter, though not as vicious as you.” Gloria Taylor lowered her head and fiddled the zipper of her handbag. She said that casually, but the sarcasm sure was noticeable.

Leon Clarke embarrassed him today and his heart was still heavy.

He was about to forget it, but once remembered it again, he turned to rage.

“Do you still have face to talk about it? Do you think I’m not distressed that a young man ask me to beat Anne that hard?” Loren Taylor was so triggered that he raised his voice.

Gloria Taylor covered her ears and said impatiently, “Alright, alright, I understand. If you have something to say, you can say it now.”

She needed to come home quickly to cook for Leon Clarke.

Loren Taylor looked at Gloria Taylor. He noticed impatience and indifference on her face.

He once had a full assurance that she would help him persuade Kenny Clarke for an investment at the Taylor Company, but now, he was unsure of it.

He thought for a moment and sighed, “You heard what Leon Clarke said today.”

Gloria Taylor didn’t speak. He continued, “The company’s capital chain was broken because of some investments mistakes. You’re a member of the Taylor family. This time. You should help your family.”

Gloria Taylor smiled sarcastically. She snorted sharply, “Isn’t there my dowry worth three hundred million Yuan in the family? I have given all my selling money to the family. How else do you want me to help you? Do you want me to sell it again? I’m afraid nobody wants me.”

Loren Taylor replied sternly, “At least you’re married properly. Why do you speak so harshly?”

“It was supposed to be Anne’s marriage.” Gloria Taylor fearlessly looked him in the eye.

Loren Taylor was shocked by that eyes of hers. They were so cold and indifferent, unlike the old Gloria Taylor who held no grudge.

Since his persuasion was useless, Loren Taylor put up a cold and indifferent front as well, “Do you think the Clarke will be kind to you after our family collapse? A daughter-in-law of the Clarke family without her family support will not be able to stand firm in that family!”

“I can file a divorce if I cannot stand firmly.” Gloria Taylor was indifferent.

She finally knew why Loren Taylor was willing to give her 15% of the shares and asked her to work for the company.

It turned out that he wanted to persuade her to ask Kenny Clarke for a capital injection.

The Taylor was bad at managing things, but they were good at calculating.

Loren Taylor pointed at her face, “You…” his anger left him speechless.

“Let me be honest.” Gloria Taylor said seriously, “Why did Kenny Clarke agree to engage with Anne? Was there any shady business about it?”

Loren Taylor’s face changed and he hurriedly replied, “What are you talking about? What do you mean your sister is not worthy of Kenny Clarke? He is the one at loss!”

His mind was always calculating. He knew that The Taylor Company was not as great as it was ten years ago. Even if he loved Anne Taylor, but he knew that under this circumstances, the possibility of the Taylor to marry the Clarke was zero.

However, the change in his face and his desperate rebuttal confirmed that there was indeed something shady in the marriage.

Gloria Taylor had always doubted the marriage. She just asked casually, but his reaction aroused her interest.

“It’s late. I should go home. Let’s talk again tomorrow.” Gloria Taylor looked at the time, opened the door, and walked out.

Loren Taylor shouted behind, “Gloria!”

She just smiled and waved at him.

***

As soon as she entered the villa, Gloria Taylor saw Leon Clarke.

He was still wearing the retro dark blue suit he wore this morning. He looked elegant and arrogant, on condition that he kept silent.

“You came an hour late than usual. It is enough time for you to have a dinner with another man outside.” Leon Clarke raised his wrist to look at the time and looked at her with a cold face.

Gloria Taylor stared at him. She threw the bag directly at him and walked to the kitchen.

Kenny Clarke caught her handbag as he watched her leaving.

Was she having a tantrum?

Suddenly, a phone rang.

Kenny Clarke found that the sound was coming from Gloria Taylor’s bag. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

He unzipped and took the phone.

He saw Edith’s name on it.

Edith? It seemed that she was Carl Cook’s little star.

He noticed that her phone was wrapped in a tough case. He could see that she loved her phone.

Kenny Clark smiled and walked to the kitchen with the ringing phone, but accidentally, his finger slide on the screen.

“Gloria, do you know that Si Chengyu has returned to Huyang City? If you have free time, you should go out and take a look. Maybe, you can run into him. I’ll be back soon. I’ll see if I can find him attending an event or something and maybe, I’ll find a chance to take you to meet him.”

Kenny Clarke listened to her and Edith Hall suddenly stopped as she wondered, “Gloria, hello? Why aren’t you talking? Are you so happy that you cannot talk? Or don’t you have signal there?”

This time, Gloria Taylor walked out of the kitchen, “I heard my phone ringing.”

Kenny Clarke threw the phone at her and left.

Gloria Taylor almost missed the phone. She gasped and looked at Leon Clarke, “You have the worst temper ever! Are you a bipolar?!”

Gloria Taylor took the phone to the kitchen. Kenny Clarke was looking gloomy.

Kenny Clarke remembered that Gloria Taylor went home early the other day. At the same day, Si Chengyu came back to Huyang City. When they met, Si Chengyu asked a lot of questions about Gloria Taylor.

Kenny Clarke took his phone and called Shi Ye, “Check where Gloria went last Friday and check who she met with.”
