Loren Taylor was silent after listening to Gloria Taylor’s suggestion.
After a while, he shook his head, “No.”
When Grandpa Taylor decided to move abroad, he said that if there was no problem, he would spend the rest of his life abroad.
“Dad, we’re in a bad situation right now. You know better than I do that a brand image is important in this industry. Everything happened during this period of time has been a big blow to our company—”
Before she could finished, Loren Taylor interrupted her, “How’s your relationship with Kenny Clarke?”
“I don’t know about Gloria’s relationship with Kenny Clarke, but she surely gets along well with Leon Clarke. Today, they had lunch together and he kissed her in public.”
Anne Taylor turned to Gloria Taylor with a smiling face, “Am I right?”
Gloria Taylor didn’t even bat an eye on Anne Taylor. She looked at her father and said, “Well, our relationship is fine. That’s all.”
She didn’t know why she lied.
Loren Taylor frowned, “Gloria, Kenny Clarke is your husband. How could you—”
Gloria Taylor knew he mentioned Kenny Clarke, but she was tired with his nagging.
She interrupted him, “Do you want Kenny to help you like last time? There is no way for that. If our company continues like this, people will take over our company. I might as well sell my shares if it still worth money.”
Loren Taylor’s face got ugly, “Gloria, you’re crazy!”
“I’m afraid that I’m not the only one who wants to sell the shares. I’m afraid other shareholders have the same idea as I do. It’s better to find a generous buyer than to keep the Taylor Company’s share rot in my hand.”
Gloria Taylor’s words were so harsh that it pierced him right in the heart.
Loren Taylor was so furious. He raised his fingers to Gloria Taylor and snapped, “How dare you!”
“Why not? The shares of my possession is legal. I can sell and buy it as I wish.”
Loren Taylor was so angry that he was loss for words.
“Why don’t you think about it?” Gloria Taylor said this and went out.
Outside, her phone suddenly rang.
The caller was a strange number from Shanghai.
She picked up the call and a middle age man’s voice came up.
“Hello, is this Leon Clarke’s sister?”
She paused and answered, “Yes. I’m his sister.”
“Here’s the thing. I am his head teacher. Something happened to him at school. Can you please ask the parents to come and solve it?”
Gloria Taylor asked with concern, “What’s wrong with him?”
“Leon Clarke is fine, he, um…” the teacher paused and said, “He had a fight with his classmate. He is fine, but his classmate’s injury is a bit serious.”
She breathed a sigh of relief, “Understood. I’ll be right there.”
***
Gloria Taylor walked out of the company and stopped a taxi on the side of the road. Inside the taxi, she tried to call Kenny Clarke.
But, Kenny Clarke was probably busy that he didn’t answer the phone.
Leon Clarke’s school was not far from the Taylor Company. It would only take ten minutes or so.
Gloria Taylor met the head teacher.
She nodded and greeted him, “Hello.”
“Hello.” The head teacher nodded back. Leon Clarke was a good looking boy in the class, but he didn’t expect Leon Clarke’s sister was also this beautiful. They probably shared a good family genes.
Gloria Taylor saw the head teacher kept looking at her, she asked, “Can you tell me what happened?”
“The thing is, Leon Clarke and his classmate quarreled. They were young and ignorant. They also had a bad temper. It happened that Leon Clarke beat the classmate way too hard. You and your family should teach him well.”
Gloria Taylor frowned. She didn’t like his manner of speaking.
She said in a serious tone, “Sir, I’m sorry but you are unclear about the root of the problem and you ask me to discipline him. Isn’t it a little unfair?”
Gloria Taylor’s beautiful cat eye looked intimidating when she stared at people coldly.
The head teacher hurriedly explained, “I didn’t mean it that way. I just thought that Leon Clarke beat the classmate too hard.”
“I see. Can I see my brother now?”
The head teacher nodded, “They are in my office. Let me take you there.”
Gloria Taylor met Leon Clarke in the office.
His face was bruised, his hair was messy and his clothes were torn. He looked like a stray dog on the road side.
He stood right there with his back straight and stubborn face. He looked defiant.
Perhaps because he stayed with Kenny Clarke for a long time that he mastered the deadpan look and reluctantly deterrent face, though he was not on Kenny Clarke’s level yet.
But, as soon as he saw Gloria Taylor, his tough expression collapsed. He blinked his eyes and looked at her piteously, “Sister.”
She couldn’t help petting him when he looked like this.
She approached him and touched his hair, “Does it hurt?”
“No.” Leon Clarke shook his head. Then, he said in a low voice, “my clothes was torn. They are savages.”
They?
Gloria Taylor looked back and saw two other boys inside the office.
Their faces had more injures than Leon Clarke. They were sitting and Leon Clarke was the only one standing.
Leon Clarke was not an unreasonable young man. It was impossible for him to hit people out of blue. Just because they suffered more injuries, so they let Leon Clarke stood up?
Gloria Taylor looked at the teacher, “Didn’t you say that the injury was serious? Why don’t you take them to the hospital?”
“This… this is their families’ idea.” Said the teacher awkwardly.
Leon Clarke didn’t attend a private school. Here, the students mostly came from the middle class. When their children was injured, they preferred to settle the problem personally.
Gloria Taylor smiled coldly. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Suddenly, they heard a middle aged woman talking outside, “Is my son here?”
Then, the fat woman pushed the door open and came in. she set her eyes on the boys sitting on the sofa. She wiped her tears and rushed up, “How did you become like this?”
She cried out. She glanced at the head teacher.
The head teacher came up to mediate the problem, “Don’t cry, Ma’am. Let’s get thing straight.”
“Get thing straight? What do you mean? Look at my son! Of course, they have to pay for the medical expenses!” the fat woman said in a loud voice.
Gloria Taylor replied, “We ca pay for the medical expenses, but before that, we eed to make things clear. Leon, why did you fight with them?”
Leon Clarke didn’t answer. He lowered his head.
Gloria Taylor was surprised, “What’s the matter?”
Leon Clarke still didn’t talk.
The fat woman stopped crying and said with an ugly face, “What else can be the reason? He fights them because he is a jerk! Who can beat a classmate like this? Look at my poor baby son…”
