Cormac listened to him quietly.
Jeffery thought that Cormac finally thought about his words, so he continued harder, “You know how I have treated you all these years, half of the blood in your veins is from the Harris family, why would I hurt you? Chloe is only a little younger than Noah, she is still young, and she is pretty too, I don’t need to introduce her family again, you know them, you are made for each other…”
“Loredana.” Suddenly Cormac interrupted Jeffery, he leaned towards him, his hands were casually on his knees, his eyes were deep while staring at Jeffery, “My wife, Loredana, she is pregnant, did you know?” Jeffery was speechless for a moment, he knew.
That day Officer Sharp called him.
At that time he was very shocked, he had no idea that Loredana would be pregnant right now, first he was very worried, because children were important to their parents.
Even though him and Sean were always breaking a fight, but he still loved him.
Eddie reminded him that Loredana being pregnant now was too much of a coincidence, why would she get pregnant now?
Could it be that she was looking for a way to run from the law? Or, she and Victoria were planning something, just to trip Cormac?
Loredana and Victoria had been close to one another, Eddie was also heating it up, he believed most of it and also thought that Loredana being pregnant was only a lie.
Jeffery swallowed, “I know, but don’t you think it is too much of a coincidence? Right at the time when I want you to marry Chloe, she suddenly gets pregnant?”
Eddie wasn’t in the place to talk, so he sat on the side without speaking, he only watched those two silently.
Cormac looked at Jeffery for a long time, slowly he leaned back in the sofa, he sat there in an extremely relaxed position, recklessly and displayful, he looked at Eddie once and laughed, “Thank you.” Eddie didn’t want him as his enemy, so he smiled and answered, “This has nothing to do with me, it’s your uncle who started it.”
It really was Jeffery that mentioned it first.
Cormac smiled but didn’t speak, if he didn’t have any other ideas on his mind, would he really want his daughter to be caught in this mess?
Jeffery was afraid Cormac would hate Eddie, so he explained, “This really was my idea, he only agreed because of me.”
Cormac leaned his head back on the couch, then licked his teeth, “Since you want it so much, if I don’t agree, it’s me being the bad person. They will call me stupid if I don’t accept a gift like that.” Eddie’s face didn’t look so well anymore.
Jeffery’s expression also changed slightly, clearly Cormac’s words weren’t meant nicely, he was suggesting that Chloe was a free gift.
Jeffery said in a lowered voice, “Chloe is from the Chambers family, I have watched her grow up, her manners and perspective are not comparable to an usual woman…”
Cormac didn’t want to listen to that, his expression darkened, “I agree to marry Chloe, but…”
His expression looked deep, he stared at Jeffery, his voice was sharp, “I want this to be cleaned up, as if it never happened.”
Jeffery never thought that Cormac would agree, he was still thinking about what he could say to convince him, this was great, he laughed and said, “Of course, as soon as you married Chloe, the police will publicly say that this matter has nothing to do with Loredana, they will show evidence that she hasn’t murdered anyone.”
They had planned everything, they even prepared evidence to prove that Loredana was guilty, but at the same time they also prepared those to prove that she wasn’t.
When it happened, there were people in the back who recorded it all on camera, when Loredana shot at Sampson, it was in the situation when she panicked and wanted to protect herself, it didn’t take Sampson’s life, it was actually Sampson who grabbed Loredana’s hand and shot at himself that led to his death.
The videos that went viral on the internet, were the ones showing that Loredana shot Sampson, it was edited. The first half showed how Loredana took the shot, the fight between Sampson and Loredana was cut out, the next scene that was seen was Sampson lying on the ground in his own blood bath.
This made people believe that Loredana had killed him with her shot.
The complete video was in Jeffery’s hands, Eddie had copied it secretly from Jeffery’s computer, and he asked someone to edit the video and release it.
If the complete video was released, they could prove that Loredana didn’t kill anybody, she only tried to protect herself.
Cormac was not satisfied with this answer, he laughed, “You framed a woman for murder, and now you want to erase this with simply one sentence, don’t you think this is unfair?”
Jeffery frowned, he didn’t expect that he wouldn’t be satisfied, “What do you want?”
Cormac leaned back, and said without any emotions, “I don’t have high expectations, I just want every single person who was involved to apologize to her.”
Jeffery immediately got angry, this was his doing, if they had to apologize he would be on top of the list, be never thought that Cormac would ask that of him. Apologize to Loredana?
Jeffery couldn’t do that.
He had never bent in front of anybody in his life.
“No way!” Jeffery turned him down.
Eddie also didn’t think that Cormac would want Jeffery to apologize to Loredana.
This was ridiculous!
“Your uncle is your elderly…”
“To be right or wrong has nothing to do with age, or does the law only care about the younger generation? If the elderly do wrong, should they stay unpunished?” Cormac interrupted Eddie, he laughed, “Officials, especially people like you, can do whatever you want?”
Eddie shut his mouth, he was still in position, he couldn’t allow himself to say anything in front of Cormac.
Anybody who had gotten as far as him knew that they had to watch their every word and step.
Jeffery’s face was filled with anger, he had always been a traditional person, he never agreed that men and women should be equal. Now Cormac wanted him to apologize to Loredana?
“Cormac, you want me to apologize because of a woman?” Jeffery’s eyes showed wrinkles that grew deeper by the minute.
Cormac was still smiling, but that smile had no emotions at all, “I don’t think you have a choice.”
Jeffery and Eddie both changed the color of their faces, Jeffery’s face looked even worse, “Cormac, what do you mean?”
Cormac stood up, and patted his shirt, then he said with significance, “You are not the only one who can play dirty tricks, if I am being serious, I do not think you can win me.”
Being an official was honorable, they had benefits, but they also had weak points.
Any small things could be investigated.
If Cormac really wanted to take it on with them, they would get quite entangled.
Eddie didn’t dare to speak, even though Cormac was younger than him, but his aura was not weaker than Jeffery’s. He admired that kind of cold and calm, he was a big person, and he could be this successfu to this stage, he must have his one way.
Jeffery was trembling all over, he couldn’t tell if it was out of worry or anger, but this was definitely not normal.
He stared at Cormac’s shadow, his hands clenched.
Suddenly, Cormac stopped at the door, he stood there tall, but didn’t turn around, nobody saw his face, “I forgot to tell you, this meeting room has cameras.”
Eddie and Jeffery both stiffened, their eyes widened, this meant that their conversation was recorded?
Eddie felt okay, he didn’t say anything that was out of the ordinary, but the conversation between Jeffery and Cormac had a lot of information, for example that Loredana was not guilty, and where this was coming from.
Was Jeffery using his forces to find a way out for Loredana?
To bend the law for personal gain was also a weak point for them, if anybody knew about this, there would be a lot of rumors, everyone knew the consequences.
