Ignoring Nora’s mood, he raised his hand and looked at his watch. “It’s about time. Please leave, Mrs. Graves.”
From the moment she entered the room until now, every movement he made was full of etiquette, but such a polite person made Nora tremble with fear.
She took out her mobile phone from her bag and pressed a few buttons on the screen. No one knew what she was typing. Soon, Nora raised her head again, but she had no intention of leaving. “Mr. Lloyd, 70% is unrealistic. I can transfer 30% of Jerry’s real estate rights to Evelyn.”
It was obvious that he had no intention of continuing the conversation. He said indifferently and distantly, “Are you done?”
Seeing that he was about to leave, Nora suddenly stood up and said, “Mr. Lloyd, what good is it for you to help Evelyn fight for the property?”
He stopped in his tracks and stuck the tip of his tongue into his
mouth. He seemed to have thought of something and his eyes
darkened. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, “Because
I…”
Click.”
Before he could finish his words, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Evelyn appeared in the office, gasping for breath. Sam hurriedly followed behind her. “Mr. Lloyd is
meeting someone. You can’t go in…”
Looking at the two people in the room, she frowned and questioned Nora in an unfriendly tone, “Why are you here?”
When Sam saw Evelyn walk in, he was about to stop her, but he got a look from Huston, and then he understood and left the office. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
There were only three people left in the office. He turned around and glanced at the phone in her hand. “Did you send her a message?”
Nora clenched her fists, and her palms were covered with sweat. The longer she stayed, the more she felt the man’s terrifying aura. She didn’t dare to admit it herself.
Nora turned to look at Evelyn and said, “Evelyn, I came here today to tell Mr. Lloyd about you and Jerry. In fact, Jerry didn’t do it on purpose that night in the Red Cauldron. He didn’t
expect such a result. Please don’t take it personally!”
“Don’t take it personally.” She was so angry that she almost
It Nora wasn’t an elder, she really didn’t
know what she would say. “Let’s talk in private. This is the company. It’s not appropriate to talk about it here.”
Seeing Evelyn’s tough attitude, Nora felt that she was a completely different person from when she was in the Graves family. She felt that she had relied on Huston’s support to be so confident. She wanted nothing more than to slap her in the face, but on the surface, she was amiable. “Evelyn, I know you hate Jerry. Even if you don’t have any feelings for each other today, you still are husband and wife. Even if you’re separated now, the old relationship is real. You won’t force Jerry into a dead end!”
With a serious face, she said, “He’s the one who doesn’t care about our past relationship, not me.”
“It was Jerry’s fault, but…” Nora glanced at Huston beside her. “But Jerry will be ruined as soon as the video was uploaded!”
She didn’t understand and frowned even more. “What video?”
“You don’t know?” Nora was slightly surprised, and she instinctively glanced at Huston. The latter’s expression was indifferent, but his gaze was cold to the point it caused others
to shudder.
Nora, an experienced woman, immediately understood what was going on. She took a step forward and almost threw
Herself into Evelyn’s arms. “Evelyn, I knew you weren’t such a cruel person. The video of you being humiliated in the Red Cauldron that day was copied by Mr. Lloyd. He said that he wanted to make it public. You know, if it is really announced, Jerry’s life will be over. He is my only son. If something really happens to him, how can I live with it?”
She had no idea about this at all. It had been more than half a month since the accident in the Red Cauldron. She intentionally or unintentionally did not think about that night. It turned out that Huston had copied the surveillance footage and brought it back.
