After he ended the call, Cormac turned to look at the kids. Both kids were having dinner under the moonlight. He agreed with what Jayden said. Even if he had revenged against Victoria, he had never thought about abandoning Loredana and the family.
Cormac walked over to the table and Mr. Forbis said, “Come, it’s late, join us for dinner.”
Cormac looked at Mr. Forbis, sat down, and said, “Thanks.”
“Oh, don’t stand on ceremony. I’m an outsider. You don’t have to be so formal.” Mr. Forbis said as he handed Cormac the chopsticks.
“Let me know whatever you need.” Cormac said as he took over the chopsticks and continued, “He would need your care when he is here.” Jayden had told Cormac that he wanted to stay there but he was not medically ill. He just needed some time to heal himself mentally.
Mr. Forbis quickly replied, “But of course. I never treated him as an outsider. Regardless of his feelings for my sister, they had been married for twenty over years. So, I’ve always treated him as part of the family.” He said with a heavy heart.
Mr. Forbis served Cormac some wine and said, “Come to think of it, I need to thank you.” He also filled his glass with wine. Although they were in a remote area of White City, he still kept current with the external affairs.
“As you can see, this mansion was an heirloom from the ancestors and they made their fortune from weaving. The Gambiered Canton Gauze was invented by my grandfather and then passed on the technique to my father. At that time, it was extremely sought after and everyone during my father’s era had high living standards. In the clothing industry, Gambiered Canton Gauze was highly regarded and extremely important.” Mr. Forbis became excited and continued, “It was thought that it would decline and disappear from the market but now unexpectedly it had regained its former glory.”
Due to the success of Loredana’ exhibition, Gambier Canton Gauze had been marketed as a highly personalized material and immediately caught the attention of the industry.
He was familiar with this development as he closely monitored the industry.
“I’m thinking that you must have a hand in this. Without your support, who could be so concerned with the Forbis family’s business?”
Mr. Forbis wiped his face, raised his glass, and said, “Thanks.”
Cormac pursed his lips and understood his message but he had nothing to do with all that. At the exhibition, he thought that Loredana had done these to atone for what she did to Victoria but now he finally understood the significance of her getting the Gambiered Canton Gauze back into the market. She did not do it solely because of Victoria’s death but also to inherit the skill. Perhaps all these were fated. Now she had inherited the technique of making the Gambier Canton Gauze so that she could continue the Forbis family legacy.
Now, he really wanted to thank Loredana. He wanted to thank her for all that she had done for him and the Forbis family. Cormac drank the wine and Mr. Forbis continued to relate the past.
Armand did not drink any alcohol as he had to drive them back to C city early the next morning.
At C city.
Loredana left the shop and stood by the road to wait for a taxi. She had left the car for Theresa to use.
In a stationary black-colored car not far from her, a man within said as he sized her up, “Are you sure that’s her?”
“Rest assured, Mr. Bailey, I’ve investigated thoroughly. Cormac came to this city because of her.” John said.
“But how come she seems unfazed?” He intentionally sent those photographs to Loredana to see her reaction but she was extremely calm as if she was not involved. Normally, a woman would kick up a huge storm if she realized that her man had an affair.
“I’m certain. Cormac even canceled his wedding to Ms. Herbert because of this woman. His estranged relationship with his father appeared to be due to this woman as well.”
“Oh? Really?” Declan seemed to be intrigued.âââââââââââââââ?/p>
‘How charming can a woman be to make Cormac fall out with Jeffery?’
“Mr. Bailey, what do you want to do?” John asked.
John was Declan’s second in command. His first in command was the manager. Now, the manager was in prison so the subordinate who gained benefit was him.
When Declan noticed that he was being taken advantage of and almost got involved, he asked John secretly follow and investigate Cormac.
Although he did not find out what kind of grudge Cormac and Jeffrey had against each other, he found Loredana.
“I sincerely and truly want to work with him, but he cheated and took advantage of me, making me almost get involved and causing me to be scolded by my father, am I, Declan, such a wimp?” Declan curled his lips and took off his suit, glancing at John, “I want to meet Cormac’s woman, I want to see how attractive the woman is until he abandoned his biological uncle.”
John lowered his eyes, “What do you want to do?”
“How about a heroic rescue?” Declan smiled evilly.
John understood instantly. If he did not know what the boss was thinking, how could he be valued by the boss?
He thought about the countermeasure in his mind before he pushed the car door and got out. He walked towards Loredana and then stood beside her.
He stood very close to Loredana, so she moved inside a bit. John also followed her. When she did not pay much attention, he grabbed her wrist and smiled lecherously, “Young lady, where are you going? Let me give you a lift.”
Loredana changed her face as she was scared. She struggled hard to get away from him. She scolded sternly, “Let go of me!”
“Don’t get excited, I see you’re alone, why don’t you let me company you?” John had a lewd look on his face and reached out his other hand to try to hug her.
Loredana withdrew her body and dodged his grope.
She forced herself to calm down. She was pregnant. She did not dare to fight with him. Moreover, there was a big difference in strength between men and women. If she was too agitated, she might hurt her baby, “Let go of me first, otherwise, I’ll shout!”
“You shall feel honored when I like you. Come, come with me…” John deliberately tried to pull her away. At this time, Declan appeared and kicked John away. In order to make the drama real, Declan kicked him hard.
John was kicked back by a few steps. Declan was so righteous and cynical that he grabbed John and punched him, “It’s you people who corrupt the morale.” Declan punched him hard. John grimaced in pain, but he was still shouting, “Do you know who I am? How dare you meddle in my affairs?”
“I don’t care who you are, I won’t spare you if you do bad thing in front of me.” He said and greeted John with his fist again, but he did not punch him in fact. Declan gave John a wink, asking him to punch him.
‘When I’m hurt, Loredana will be softhearted and be grateful to me. In this way, I can get close to her.’
‘Cormac’s woman?’
‘Today, I would like to see how this woman seduces a man. She could even seduce a cold hearted man.’
‘It will be even better if I can cuckold Cormac.’
‘Furthermore, I have not had sex with a pregnant woman before.’
John did not dare to punch him. He was hesitating.
Declan glared at him. He wanted him to hurry up and stop wasting time, so John swallowed his saliva and punched Declan on his face with his eyes closed. Declan stepped backwards. John tried to run away. The plan had developed enough to make Loredana know Declan. If they continued, it might become troublesome. However, what he did not expect was to be kicked in the heart as soon as he turned around. He fell to the ground with his ass landed first.
Oscar took off his sunglasses and was furious, “Young man, you’re courting death.”
John was stunned. His heart was hurt from the kick. He could not say anything for a long time.
Mr. Bailey did not expect this, how could he grab the credit from him halfway?
“Send him to the police station,” Loredana said indifferently.
While Declan was fighting with John, she called Oscar and called the police.
John hurriedly looked at Declan. Things did not seem to go according to their plan. Why did this man pop up? Also, why the police were involved?
Oscar went to him and kicked him two more times. He was angry. John lay on the ground in pain and did not stand up. Oscar was strong, much stronger than Declan. Declan did not plead for John. It was not a big deal anyway. He would only learn a lesson when he was sent to the police station. He would bail him at a later time. It was not a good idea to lose everything.
He walked towards Loredana and made up to her, “Are you alright?”
Loredana raised herself slightly, “Thank you very much just now.”
