Charles smiled, “I think it won’t take too long to reveal the truth.”
Jeffery had ordered his people to go to White City and investigate the Gambiered Canton Gauze. He knew about it in the first place since White City was under his control.
So, he deliberately spread the rumours that Victoria had given birth before when Jeffery’s people were investigating the Gambiered Canton Gauze. Jeffery was the one involved. If he knew that Victoria had given birth before, he would definitely investigate thoroughly, and at that time…00000
He would like to see how long this secret could be hidden.
Loredana slightly narrowed her eyes as no wonder Marina had kept the cutlery and dishes that had been used by Cormac last time she went to the Harris family.
Now, she knew the purpose, it turned out to be Charles who was making trouble behind it.
“It was you actually!” Loredana said in a serious tone.
She had really misunderstood this time.
Jeffery was suspicious because Marina had overheard her conversation with Victoria.
Jeffery had ordered someone to investigate and they had not yet returned.
So, this matter did not have much to do with Charles.
However, it was just that Loredana had misunderstood now.
It was no wonder that Loredana was unhappy since Charles wanted to reveal the past secret.
“How would it benefit you?” Loredana looked at him sternly.
Charles was somewhat startled when he saw Loredana’s cold gaze. It was the first time that Loredana looked at him with such a gaze.
His chest was stuffy.
He did not express much on his face, saying calmly, “You know the answer. Why do you need to ask knowingly?”
If Cormac was Victoria’s son, he would know that Victoria had been imprisoned by Jeffery in the past.
The relationship between Cormac and Jeffery would definitely break up.
At that moment, Charles could take revenge for Nathan without being stopped by Cormac. Moreover, Cormac would probably work with Charles to take revenge on Jeffery.
Loredana understood Charles’s intention.
However, he was selfish in this way.
“If you want to take revenge, you should do it with your own ability. It is not what a gentleman will do by taking someone else’s shortcoming.” Loredana did not want this secret to be revealed either. Now, she was in a good condition.
She clenched her hands as Jeffery was already suspicious and was now investigating Cormac’s identity. She worried the cutlery and dishes that she had switched would not deter Jeffery’s investigation. Now, she could only request Charles not to interfere in this matter. Since Charles had a strong foundation in White City, if he did something to Jeffery’s people or just stopped them from investigating, Jeffery’s people would be unable to find out anything.
She looked at Charles seriously and said earnestly, “Just think of it that I beg you not to interfere with this matter. Jeffery has made a mistake and he will be punished sooner or later. Why are you in a hurry?” Charles chuckled, “Do you believe that there is justice in this world, virtue has its reward, evil its retribution?”
“Why don’t I believe?” Loredana immediately answered.
Charles stared at Loredana fondly while gripping the armrests tightly. There was a fine layer of perspiration on his palms.
“I can promise you, not because I have set aside my determination to take revenge for my adoptive father. But I don’t want to watch you worrying about this matter.”
After he finished speaking, he turned his wheelchair and headed towards the door outside.
He still chose to help Loredana.
He did not want her to be difficult and keep worrying about this matter.
There would be a chance to take revenge sooner or later. Revenge is a dish best served cold since he was still young.
Loredana was very uncomfortable as she vaguely felt that this matter would be revealed sooner or later even though Charles did not interfere.
She looked at Charles’s back and said from the bottom of her heart, “Thank you.”
Anyway, this matter could still be hidden if he did not interfere.
Charles headed to the door and said, “I want more than a thank you. But I know that you may not be able to give me something else that I want. If you really want to thank me, just owe me a favour…” Loredana promised him at the door, “Fine. If you need me in the future, just tell me as long as I can do it. I will never refuse.”
Charles frowned and smiled, “With your words, then I’m not at a disadvantage.”
Charles came out of the clothing store. Tom assisted him into the car at the door and they left.
Loredana sat on the sofa motionlessly. She looked at the phone placed on the table. She wanted to contact Marina and sound her out.
However, she was afraid that it would arouse her suspicion if she called her rashly.
She was now in a dilemma.
She did not know what to do for a while.
She sighed and a shadow appeared in the doorway when she was about to go upstairs. She turned around and saw Marina walking to her with her handbag.
Loredana stopped walking and turned around as she headed downstairs. She greeted her with a smile, “What brings you here?”
Marina smiled while narrowing her eyes. She took a glance around the reception hall. Since it was a custom-made clothing store, there were many models in front of the glass window wearing beautiful dresses and wedding gowns. Each of them was gorgeous and unique.
Marina married early and Jeffery was old-fashioned. He was close-minded as Marina was not allowed to wear a wedding gown when she got married. There were few Chinese traditional dresses at that time and she was wearing a cheongsam to complete the wedding with Jeffery.
All women would dream of wearing white wedding dresses, but now she can only regret it.
Marina withdrew her gaze, “Your uncle is not at home and I’m alone at home. So, I thought of coming to find you and have a meal with me.”
Loredana agreed and welcomed her invitation. She just wanted to sound her out, but she did not expect Marina to come by herself.
“You don’t think I’m taking your time, do you?” Marina said with a smile.
Loredana replied, “No, I’m glad that you can remember me.”
Marina did not stop watching the clothes around the hall from the moment she came in. Her eyes flashed brightly as she seemed to be impressed with the clothes. Loredana noticed that she was impressed with the clothes. Then, Loredana took the initiative to walk over and hold her arm, “Let me show you around.” Marina smiled and agreed.
The clothes in the glass window on the ground floor were not for sale. They were displayed for the designers to present their ideas.
Guests could come in and pick a designer to help them design their clothes according to these clothes.
Of course, many people came for a particular designer.
Marina reached out to touch a wedding dress in the window. The gauze was soft and smooth as she felt comfortable touching it in her hands.
