“You’ve come.”
“What do you want?” Cormac interrupted Jeffery.
Jeffery looked at Cormac’s poker face, “I’m your uncle.”
He did not kill Loredana because he wanted to see how important she was in Cormac’s heart.
Jeffery wanted to know whether Cormac would forget Jolene because of Loredana.
There was an air of tension in the living room. Marina tried to persuade Cormac, “Cormac, don’t blame your uncle. He does it for your good.”
“What do you want?” Cormac repeated his words.
Jeffery came to anger since he did not expect Cormac would take such a tough stance.
“Was Loredana so important in his heart?” Jeffery pondered.
“How could Cormac forget about Jolene’s death and forgive Victoria because of that woman?” Jeffery thought.
He became angrier when he thought about it. His body tensed up and cold like ice.
“Well,” Jeffery angrily anxious, “Loredana is not suitable for you. You two divorce and you marry Chloe. I’ll release her then.”
Cormac’s eyes were red, like colored with blood, “What if I don’t agree with that?”
“Are you befuddling by love now? I’ll sharpen your vigilance at the cost of the Harris family to let you know what kind of people are around you now!”
Jeffery looked at Cormac and said, “I love you as much as I loved your mother back then. That woman has done nothing for you except given birth to children. She works in collusion with Victoria. What does she want to do?”
Jeffery did not conceal what he had known at this time.
“The Gambiered Canton Gauze is the ancestral business of the Forbis family. Loredana has learned how to make it. She even wants to bring it to a great height of development. What does she want to do? What do you mean to her?”
Jeffery Harris tried to convince Cormac Mendelsohn, “Would I hurt you?”
“I’ve made my stand clear.”
He squinted and stared at Jeffery. His pupils instantly glowed with a dangerous light.
“I don’t need anyone who touches the person around me in the name of doing me good. Neither can you!”
“Are you really obsessed?” Jeffery clenched his fists, making a crackling sound as he clenched too hard.
Cormac gazed deeply at him, “I’ve always respected you and it’s still the same now. If you let my wife go, I can ignore the past but if you insist, don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”
Jeffery widened his eyes incredulously with his hands over his heart, “You, you can leave me behind for a woman?”
“She’s my wife.” He said word by word.
“She’s your wife, but she isn’t of one mind with you!” Jeffery yelled, “Wake up, don’t be deluded!”
“I’m incredibly awake to what I’m doing at this moment!” his handsome face was full of rigidity.
He turned around and left.
Jeffery looked at his determined back and he was agitated, “You can’t save her. All the evidence will point to her.”
He paused his movement. Jeffery thought that he was undermined and said, “If you promise to divorce, you won’t lose anything. Chloe wasn’t worse than her and her family background matches you better. I’m doing this for your own good. Even if you hate me, I can’t watch you to get confused by a woman and can’t tell right from wrong!”
He slowly turned back and looked at Jeffery silently without saying anything.
Jeffery froze for a moment, “Cormac …”
He averted his eyes, walked steadily and pulled the door open to get into the car.
Jeffery took two steps backward and slumped in a chair.
His gaze just now was clearly…
He clutched the armrest tightly.
Eddie patted his shoulder, “Are you scared, old chap?”
Jeffery turned his head and looked at him, “I’m afraid that he is getting desperate …”
“Are you afraid that he will have a showdown with you?” Eddie continued to say.
He kept silent as if he was acquiescing.
He was trying to force Cormac to give up Loredana Flores, but he didn’t want to become enemy with him.
This wasn’t his original intention.
Eddie comforted, “If he really cared about the woman, he would definitely compromise.”
He calmed down himself. Indeed, Cormac didn’t develop his strength over these years because Jeffery was the one who owned the power.
Boyce Shawn was able to go smoothly in the business field because of his connections.
Even if Cormac had the means, he wouldn’t be able to save her.
“I’m with you. What are you afraid of?” he was confident.
The Harris family, the Chambers family and the Herbert family were the three major families in City B. It would be easy for them to convict a woman if they joined forces. Whoever killed a person had to pay with his life.
No matter how strong and resourceful Cormac was, he would be powerless in front of the evidence.
Chloe sat aside, looking at the empty courtyard and she seemed to be lost in thought.
She did have an interest in Cormac, especially when he had just faced a power stronger than himself, he could still remain unhurried.
Even if he was passive, he didn’t show any timidity, but he showed the man’s rigidity and kept calm when facing the situation.
He was dazzling as he owned everything which a woman desired.
She also knew that she wouldn’t receive the deep love he had for Loredana even if Cormac agreed.
“Dad.” She looked at him, “This matter …”
“What are you afraid of with me and Jeffery around?”
