Chloe noticed that her father didn’t want her to tell Sean, so she jogged towards her father, “Dad.”
“You are an adult, why are you still so immature?”
Chloe hooked her arm into his and smiled, “I was just walking a little faster, what’s immature about that?”
Eddie looked at her, since Sean was there too, he didn’t say anything.
In that moment, they arrived at the Harris family.
Sean went over to open the door, nobody was home, Jeffery and Marina were at the study, since the news were spreading wildly, Jeffery already knew. “Who did this?” Marina asked angrily.
She knew what Jeffery was thinking about, he just wanted Cormac and Loredana to break up, he didn’t want breaking the death in.
Now the whole situation was much worse, if Cormac thought that it was Jeffery, this would become a huge misunderstanding. Jeffery was not stupid either, it must have been either the Chambers family, or the Herbert family.
He and Eddie were close to each other, so his suspicion was on the Herbert family.
“Are you going to think this matter again seriously?” Marina hadn’t slept well these days, she was worried about this.
Jeffery sighed, “As soon as we do something, there is no going back, I cannot allow a woman who is not on Cormac’s side to be with him.”
A man had always failed at the beauty pass, clearly Cormac was bewildered by Loredana.
Just like Jayden was bewildered by Victoria back then.000000
Jeffery thought that Jayden had betrayed Jolene, so he could not let Cormac do so.
He could not allow Jolene’s son to get close to Victoria.
Marina sighed. She knew what Jeffery was thinking. She was worried that the situation would become more serious and would destroy the close relationship between Jeffery and Cormac.
“Do you want to ask Eddie whether he revealed the information?” Marina asked.
They should find out the truth of the matter, otherwise Cormac might misunderstand Jeffery and it will form a grudge between them.
Jeffery pressed his eyebrows with fingers, “You make a call to Eddie and tell him that I want to meet him.”
Jeffery intended to ask Eddie some questions. This matter hurt Loredana a lot after all. Fortunately, Cormac and Loredana kept their marriage secret, so fewer people knew that they had married. Loredana’s matter did not affect him much. Otherwise, the situation could get out of his hand.
Marina walked to the door and opened it. At the same time, Sean stood in front of the door and wanted to knock on the door. Both of them met each other coincidentally, “Mom.”
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t come back in the next few days?” Marina asked.
Sean said with a smile, “I’ve changed my mind. By the way, Eddie is here.”
Marina took a glance at Sean’s shoulder and saw Eddie and Chloe behind him. She was going to call Eddie, but Eddie was here, so she did not have to make a call. Marine took Sean by his hand and walked out of the room, and looked at Eddie, “Jeffery is in the study. He has something to say to you, and he asks you to go into the study now.”
Eddie nodded, and he immediately knew what Jeffery wanted to say to him. Eddie had prepared the countermeasure when he disclosed the information at the time.
“Chloe, you should be mature and steady,” Eddie looked stern, and he admonished Chloe not to speak carelessly in front of Sean.
Chloe understood Eddie’s intentions, and she nodded, “I understand.”
Then, Eddie walked into the study at ease and closed the door. Jeffery got up and pulled a chair for Eddie. Both of them sat in front of the window.
“I’m sure you’ve seen the news on the Internet, right?” Eddie spoke first.
Jeffery nodded honestly.
“I came to you for this matter,” Eddie said, and he looked at Jeffery with his face clear, “It is my fault for not doing well in this matter.”
Jeffery was stunned because he thought that it was the Herbert family who did it. How could it be Eddie?
“Well, I knew the Herbert family is eager to revenge Loredana. I shouldn’t suggest you use Sampson to deal with Loredana at the time. I heard that Sampson was very fond of Loredana and the Herbert family felt resentment against Loredana. So they gave wide publicity of this matter, and I knew it was the Herbert family who did it. I didn’t care about it when Landon said this at the time. I thought it was just a big talk, and I didn’t expect that he dared to do it,” Eddie felt guilty and said.
Soon he changed his subject and said, “You and I enlisted the armed forces at the same time. Our friendship is a forget-the-age relationship now. I don’t hide my mind from you. Now the matter played out like this, and we can only push the boat with the current.”
Eddie made a clean breast of everything. Jeffery could not say anything more, but he started to feel hatred against the Herbert family.
Jeffery looked at Eddie, “Do you mean…”
Eddie nodded, “It’s time to put pressure on Cormac now.”
Jeffery hesitated. He would not hesitate to put pressure on Cormac if Loredana was not pregnant. However, Loredana had conceived Cormac’s baby, and Jeffery was afraid that it was difficult for Cormac to compromise with him.
“Why, are you embarrassing now?” Eddie noticed that Jeffery felt embarrassed, and he persuaded, “Do we still have a way to escape? I’ve handed over my beloved and only daughter.”
Jeffery understood that there was no way back to go.
He could not disappoint Eddie as well.
“I’ll go meet him later,” Jeffery clenched his hands into fists.
“Does Noah know about this?” Eddie thought it was something fishy when Sean suddenly went back home. Sean seldom went back home when he grew up. He suddenly went back home at this time, and Eddie felt something wrong with it.
That was why Eddie asked Jeffery about it.
Jeffery shook his head, “I didn’t tell him. He has a good relationship with Cormac. Cormac helped Noah a lot when Noah didn’t return home. That’s why he can live leisurely outside. He is closer to Cormac than me.”
He did not dare to let Sean know about it.
Jeffery understood and was glad that Sean returned home in time. Fortunately, Chloe did not go out with Sean. Jeffery did not know whether Chloe could come back to them if she went out with Sean. Eddie asked, “You didn’t tell Noah. What about Cormac? Will he tell this to Noah?”
It was no harm to Cormac if Sean knew this matter after all. Cormac could also take advantage of Sean to support his side.
Jeffery answered confidently, “Cormac will not tell him.”
He expected that Cormac would not place Sean in a difficult position to tell Sean what he had done.
Eddie nodded and felt at ease if Cormac did not tell Sean about this matter since it was good that fewer people knew about this. Eddie did not want to create another obstacle. He stood up, “I’ll go back first.” Jeffery said, “Let me send you out.”
Both of them walked out of the study together. Marina had cut the fruit and placed it on the coffee table in the living room. She saw them walked out of the study and said, “Please stay for lunch.”
“I’m sorry to turn you down. My wife should already prepare for lunch in the house,” Eddie looked at Chloe and said, “Chloe, we should go now.”
Chloe got up and followed behind Eddie to leave.
Sean could not help but be curious about the subject they had discussed. He asked indifferently with a demanding tone, “What are you guys plotting?”
Sean tried to get words out of Chloe in the living room when Eddie and Jeffery were in the study. However, Chloe was not as simple as in Eddie’s house at the time. She did not say anything to answer his questions. It proved that they had something to hide from him.
