At that time, Cormac asked Boyce to meet Landon for testing if Landon had worked with Eddie to kill Sampson.
However, it turned out that he hadn’t. It was just a deal between Eddie and Sampson. Sampson knew that he would definitely die, so he mailed a letter to the Herberts before going to the bar. Eddie had come to him and told him that if he was willing to die, Sampson could help the Herbert family as well as rescue Maria. Hence, Sampson agreed.
Sampson was quite willing to sacrifice himself to exchange Maria’s freedom and benefits for his family.
However, the letter was received by Landon when Boyce went to meet him.
Boyce also told him about Maria’s death and showed him the evidence.
It wasn’t until that time did Landon realize that he was used by Eddie. After knowing the truth, Landon wouldn’t be willing to let go of Eddie at all.
He was also alert to Eddie. Whenever they met and talked, Landon recorded it through videos. He was afraid that Eddie would put him to blame so he could use the videos to threaten Eddie.
However, it had become the evidence to show what kind of role Eddie was playing in this whole thing.
Plus, Maria’s death also led every clue to Eddie. Hence, he would definitely be arrested by the police for further investigation.
The senior management of the military was busy with a crime crackdown recently. At this critical moment, Eddie had committed crimes. He wouldn’t have a good ending.
Loredana was quite surprised by this. “Why would he have done it?”
She wondered if she had done anything wrong to offend Eddie.
Why would he spend so much effort to set her up?
“I don’t know much about the details. I guess he must have his own purposes. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so crazy as a March hare. I’m calling you to inform you not to worry about Sampson Herbert’s case. It’s all over.”
“How about he?” asked Loredana, wondering why it was Boyce calling her.
“His father came to the company. They are in his office now. I don’t think he has time to call you, so I called you.”
“I see. Thank you so much, Boyce. If there’s nothing else, I’ve gotta go now.” Loredana was still holding the toothbrush. Boyce said OK.
After hanging up the phone, she put the phone on the nightstand and went back to the bathroom for tidying herself up. She felt uncomfortable as she didn’t take a shower last night. After a shower, she put on clean clothes. Probably because of the shower, she felt quite energetic.
She went downstairs. Coral had already prepared breakfast. Victoria was helping Simona wash her face. Samuel had sat down at the dining table.
Seeing her, Samuel greeted her, “Morning, Mommy.”
Loredana pulled the chair and sat down. She said, “Morning, Samuel.”
“Mommy, please say good morning to me.” Simona finished washing her face and hands, trotting over. Loredana helplessly reminded her to slow down. She said in a doting tone, “Morning, Simona.”
The little girl was delighted. She climbed onto the chair and sat down. Coral served them with fresh milk. “Hurry up and eat your breakfast.”
After the two kids started eating, Victoria walked over. She sat down next to Simona, picked up a glass of milk, and took a sip. Looking at Loredana, she said, “Later, I’ll go out shopping. Do you need anything? I can get them for you.”
“Please let Mommy go with us!” Simona mentioned again to let Loredana go out with her.
Victoria frowned. “Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday? There’s a little baby in Mommy’s belly. She can’t get too tired…”
“Oh, all right.” Simona was a bit disappointed. She truly wanted to go out with her mother.
It seemed that it wouldn’t work “Alas… you silly girl. Why are you so stubborn?” Last night Simona had known that Loredana couldn’t go out because of the little baby in her belly, but she mentioned it again.
I guess I can go out with you guys.” Loredana was in a pretty good mood. The dark clouds above her head had faded away, and she felt so delightful just like the sunny day outside. “Are you sure?” Victoria was still worried.
“I feel quite good now. I’ll go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow,” Loredana said with a smile.
Victoria didn’t want to turn her down. “That’s good then. Simona longs for going out with you. Coral will join us as well, so we can take care of the children.”
Loredana nodded. Simona was the most excited one. “Let’s go to the amusement park. I want to play the bumper car.”
“Okay. Simona, you can play whatever you want.” Victoria rubbed her granddaughter’s head.
After breakfast, Cora cleaned up the dishes. Since it was getting hot, Victoria put on the sunscreen shirts and hats for the children.
“We’ll go shopping later. The kids need some summer outfits. It’s almost summer.”
Loredana was sitting on the sofa, supporting her chin. She said, “Sure.”
Victoria glanced at her. “You too. When your belly gets bigger, the current outfits couldn’t fit you.”
“Mom, I want you to buy them for me.” Loredana played at being cute to her.
“Of course I will.” Victoria also laughed.
After Cora got ready, they set off. The four bodyguards also followed them. They drove three cars in total.
Victoria, the children, and Loredana were sitting in the minivan with seven seats. The children were playing in the backseat. Loredana was sitting next to Victoria. She turned back and took a glance at the two children. After a hesitation, she said, “Cormac might have found something. He looks quite down recently.”
Although Cormac had been hiding his emotion, Loredana could still feel that something had been bothering him.
“Mom…”
Loredana turned to look at Victoria. “I’m quite selfish. I don’t want him to know this matter because I’m afraid he would know how to face it. After all, he has always been disliking you.” Victoria held her hand, feeling slightly bitter. “It’s been such a long time. I’ve decided to let go of it. Really. I’m so satisfied to lead such a life now.
“Not to mention the Harris family, Cormac is a celebrity. His news is always on the finance channel. The news of his family background must raise an uproar. After all, at that time, Jolene and Jayden were still married, so Cormac would only be considered as an illegitimate child. I don’t want to see that end, and neither do I want him to fight against Jeffery Harris. After all, the negative news will not only harm his public image but also the company’s reputation. I just wish him…”
Victoria patted Loredana on the back of her hand. “He could be with you peacefully, leading an ordinary life.”
She stared at Loredana seriously. “I don’t want to him know anything about it at all. I don’t want things that happened among our elders would drag you into the mere. The beauty and peace of life are all around the ordinary days, just like what’s going on now — I can shop with my grandchildren, take them to the amusement park. After summer ends, I can send them the elementary school, watch them grow up, and I get old gradually. It’s also my happiness.”
She had missed her son, but taking care of her grandchildren could be compensation for her.
Loredana pressed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes subconsciously.
Right then, the minivan stopped.
It wasn’t an intersection in front. Loredana asked the driver, “What’s going on?”
“I don’t know.” The driver didn’t know it either.
Knock… Knock…
A bodyguard got off from the car in front and knocked on the car window. Loredana pressed the window down.
“A trailer broke down when turning around in front, so now it had blocked the way. We can’t get through now. Shall we change the route?”
“Have you asked when it would be repaired?” Victoria asked. If it would take quite long, they could reroute. If it would only take less than twenty minutes, they could wait. After all, they were not far away from either the shopping mall or the amusement park now.
