Anne tried The Lost City because she certainly didn’t know that the writer was Gloria.
But, after what happened these past two days, Anne should’ve known.
***
Gloria had just left the studio when a white car stopped in front of her.
The door was pushed open, and Anne wearing a pair of sunglasses stepped out of the car.
Anne was wearing a leather jacket for a photo shoot. It was tough to wear that in August weather.
Anne crossed her arms and walked toward Gloria. She raised her chin, looking arrogant, “I heard that you’re working in the entertainment industry.”
Gloria didn’t reply. She kept looking at Anne.
Anne was pissed off when Gloria ignored her, but she endured it when she remembered her purpose, “Did you write the Lost City?”
“Yes.” Gloria wanted to see what trick was up to her sleeve this time.
Anne took her sunglasses off, “You have a good relationship with the producer of The Lost City, right? I like the script. I don’t have to be the female lead. You can give the second role and then, I’ll consider our problem to be settled. You can also be a Taylor again.”
Settled?
Gloria sneered, “What do you mean you settle our problem? What did I even do to you? As for going back to Taylor, I’m not interested.”
Anne didn’t expect Gloria to be so unappreciative.
She was angry, “This is your last chance! I’m being kind and give you the opportunity to go back to the family. Why are you so ungrateful?”
Gloria knew what Anne was thinking.
Anne let her come back to the family so that she could treat and use her the way she did when Gloria was pretending to be dumb and ugly.
Gloria saw through her wishful thinking, but she was not a fool.
“I don’t care. You can offer this opportunity to others.”
“You—”
Gloria walked past her and went away.
***
Gloria knew Taylor too well. She knew that Anne wouldn’t give up.
Sure enough, the following day, Loren Taylor called her.
The only thing Loren Taylor good at was that he would spoil his daughter so much.
But, of course, it was not including Gloria.
“Since you have returned to Huyang City, don’t you want to go home?” Loren Taylor talked like he lost his memory. He didn’t mention that he lift up his relationship with Gloria as father and daughter.
Gloria didn’t intend to let him get away with it. She reminded him, “Since Mr. Taylor had forgotten, I have to remind you that you lift up our relationship as father and daughter.”
Loren Taylor didn’t pay attention to Gloria’s words at all, “If you’re willing to return to the family, I’m willing to let the past pass.”
Gloria felt funny.
“What did I do to you? What do you mean by letting the past pass?”
Gloria didn’t understand what’s going on in their heads.
It was clear that they used and abandoned her.
But, it sounded like she did something bad to them in their mouth, and now, they forgave her and let her come back to the family.
Loren Taylor said calmly, “You know what you have done. Taylor was kind enough to raise you. Now, this is the time for you to repay their kindness.”
“Mr. Taylor, if you have time, you should go to the hospital and have your brain checked.” Gloria snorted. Then, she hung up the phone.
She poured a glassful of water, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the sofa.
There was no food at home. So, she decided to go out and go grocery shopping.
Gloria drove to the nearest supermarket. When she came back, she found a luxurious car parked in front of her apartment building.
The car couldn’t compare to Kenny Clarke’s, but the car seemed out of place in this neighborhood.
She grabbed her phone and saw a message from Colin Hall. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
“Get in the car. I have something for you.”
Gloria looked up and strode to the car. She opened the door and sat beside a man who was smoking inside the car.
“What are you doing here?” Gloria frowned at him.
Colin Hall turned his cigarette off, “I have something for you.”
The strong smell of cigarettes in the car choked her. She fanned her hands to her nose and looked at him with suspicion.
She noticed that he didn’t look right today.
The ashtray inside the car was full of ashes, and he looked haggard.
She asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
“Do you care about me?” Colin Hall looked back at her.
Gloria prepared to leave. Colin Hall called out, “Gloria, I have something for you.”
She looked back. He added, “It’s something you want.”
She said, “Do you want to find a coffee shop and talk?”
“No. Let’s talk in this car.” Colin Hall lowered the window.
The wind was rather cold that evening.
Gloria sat down.
Colin Hall took out an envelope and handed it to her, “Take a look.”
It was a DNA comparative report.
The final result was to confirm the parent and child relationship.
Her heart tightened, “Whose is it?”
Colin Hall took another cigarette and lit it up, “One of the reports is Si Chengyu’s.”
He stretched out his hand to take the lighter. When he saw Gloria was covering her nose, he put it back. He played with the cigarette in his hand.
“Si Chengyu?” her mind was blank.
Colin started to talk, “Si Chengyu hims
elf made this report. He made it last year, around the time of your gossip with him.”
Gloria tried to recall the time.
Si Chengyu made that gossip on purpose.
The second time he did that, he led the public opinion against Sheng Ding Media. At that time, he was showing the sign of breaking his relationship with Kenny Clarke.
Si Chengyu suddenly broke his relationship with Kenny Clarke. Was it related to this report?
Gloria looked at him, “So, who is the other person on this comparative report?”
Colin smiled. “Si Chengyu is very cautious. There is no name on it, but it's not difficult to guess.”
