Chapter 49 Dad, Did I Say Something Wrong
Chapter 49 Dad, Did I Say Something Wrong
"I was in Faraday Apartments today." Allie's voice carried a bit of excitement.
Noah's eyebrows were lightly raised, he slowly got up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window,
"Hmm."
He lifted his hand and gently squeezed between his eyes, holding one hand on the railing, overlooking
the bustling city at his feet, like a high king who is strategized, without emotional fluctuation in his eyes.
"Why don't you have any reaction at all?"
"And?" He asked indifferently.
"Then you will know how impressive you wife is." The more Allie spoke, the more her emotions rose,
and immediately afterwards she couldn't wait to tell Noah all that she had seen and heard at the sales
office.
There, Allie was incessantly describing the situation, and her words were full of admiration.
The other side, Noah, listened with great interest, the corners of his mouth curved with a curve of
approval.
"Why are you so lucky? If I were a guy, I would definitely envy you." Allie added.
"Oh." He responded indifferently, shying away from words as always.
"Why don't you continue to arrange for someone to buy a house after such a big incident with your Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
wife?" Speaking of this, Allie's tone began to carry a strong sense of dissatisfaction.
"Haven't you already been there?"
"Did you guess that I would be there, and that's why you didn't make a move?" Allie asked.
"I gotta work, let's talk when I get back." With those words, Noah hang up and went back to his
computer.
...
After having dinner with the staff of Faraday Apartments, Jocelyn drove back home.
She was ready to go upstairs to find Allen and report on the day's situation.
When she reached the stairs, a mocking voice rang out from upstairs, "Why do you smell so much of
alcohol? Jocelyn, you're not using alcohol to drown your sorrows, are you?"
At that, Jocelyn frowned slightly and looked at Gloria.
At this moment, she was standing at the corner of the stairs, one hand on the railing, looking down at
her with disdain under her eyes.
Seeing this face, Jocelyn felt in a bad mood.
"You know it?" Jocelyn responded coldly.
Gloria laughed coldly, then walked to the step that was one step higher than Jocelyn, leaned down and
sniffed her body carefully.
And then with a disgusted face, she covered her nose and took a step backwards, "What a pungent
smell, you must have had several bottles of wine. How sad are you?"
The strong smell of alcohol made Gloria feel even more that Jocelyn was now desperate and burnt out,
otherwise now so busy, why would Jocelyn drink herself into this?
Thinking about it, Gloria's mood got better, and the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually let loose,
"Hahaha, actually, if you really can't take it, you should go and tell Dad, it's really not that hard to admit
that you're an idiot."
"Jocelyn, didn't you brag in front of Dad yesterday?" Gloria added.
"Not everyone is as stupid as you are." Jocelyn tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and
said in a cold voice, "Get out of the way, I'll settle our score with you later."
"What's wrong? Are you feeling bad? But I'm telling you the truth."
"I knew you'd never be able to do all this. Dad wouldn't even be able to handle something this big, let
alone you."
"Who the hell are you? If I'm not surprised, you'll lose Dad's trust completely after this today,
congratulations." Gloria continued to taunt, the more she spoke, the better her mood became.
It felt very rewarding for Gloria to taunt a loser.
Having held her tongue all day, Jocelyn's patience had completely reached its limit, and the hands
hanging at her side unconsciously clenched into fists.
But once again she suppressed her emotions, for there was no need for her to do it herself at the
moment.
"Sit in the living room and wait for me." Jocelyn said.
"Why?"
"I have an announcement to be made." Jocelyn said indifferently, her gaze falling on Gloria's face
without haste, and then she stepped straight upstairs.
"Announce what? An announcement that you're quitting Faraday Apartments?" The more Gloria spoke,
the more smug she became.
"Yes." With those words, Jocelyn took a step straight upstairs.
She had quit from there since all the properties in Faraday Apartments were sold out.
Looking at Gloria's happy look, Jocelyn felt more and more ridiculous.
Hearing that, Gloria was inwardly joyful, sure enough! Jocelyn had really failed, guess she was now
going to go up to her father and explain everything, and admit her lack of ability.
"So poor!" Gloria laughed and shook her head, before cheerfully walking over to the sofa and sitting
down.
After about ten minutes, Jocelyn walked down holding Allen's arm.
Allen's face was grim to the extreme, while Jocelyn beside him was expressionless, making it
completely impossible to guess her emotions at the moment.
She formed a stark contrast to him.
Looking at Allen's expression, Gloria became even more certain of what she thought, and that was
definitely what was happening now!
Soon, Allen sat down on the single sofa, while Jocelyn sat next to Gloria.
"Dad, Jocelyn has already told you that she's quitting, right?"
"Jocelyn, if you don’t have that ability, you should not have taken the job."
"Dad trusts you so much, he didn't hesitate to leave it to you to handle, and this is how you end up
repaying dad?" Gloria droned on, trying to completely anger Allen.
Allen's face grew gloomier and gloomier, and his murderous gaze instantly fell on Gloria's face.
"Dad, why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"
"The one who is not doing her job properly now is Jocelyn, not me." With those words, Gloria glanced
coldly at Jocelyn.
Jocelyn, however, ignored her completely, only silently picked up a bottle of juice from the coffee table,
poured out a cup and slowly sipped it.
"You're still in the mood to drink at this time? The Faraday Apartments is now experiencing a crisis
because of you."
"It might even lead to the Murphy’s to be implicated! Can you still drink? How could dad raise a
heartless daughter like you?!" Gloria said discontentedly.
In the next second, a mobile phone landed heavily on Gloria's lap, and Gloria's heart clenched in fear
as something came crashing over her suddenly.
She then picked up the phone and met Allen's murderous eyes with a puzzled expression, "Dad, what
are you doing?"
