When they were having dinner at night, she could feel that Leon Clarke’s face was not right.
He would put up with cold front most of the time and when he didn’t speak, he would look very imposing and sharp.
However, when he looked different with his usual self, it meant that he was in a bad mood.
Gloria Taylor put a piece of fish in his bowl, “Try this. I cook it with pepper today. See if you like it.”
Leon Clarke didn’t move. He just clipped the fish and threw it on the table.
“……” Gloria Taylor was stunned. It seemed that she had provoked him.
However, she clearly didn’t remember when she provoked him. Was he angry because she threw her bag at him?
No way. Although this man was very stingy, but he didn’t care about such small matter.
They were looking at each other and he asked, “Where did you go last Friday?”
“What?” Gloria Taylor murmured while avoiding his eyes.
He put down his chopsticks and locked his eyes on her, “Last Friday, where did you go and who did you meet?”
Gloria Taylor froze as she looked at him, “What do you mean?”
Leon Clarke’s interrogating tone made her uncomfortable.
He smiled with cold eyes, “Are you starting to feel guilty? Were you having an affair?”
“What are you talking about?!”
This was not the first time he said this kind of thing, but this time, his tone was particularly excessive.
Gloria Taylor put her chopsticks on the dining table and stood up, “Even if I was sold to the Clarke for three hundred million Yuan, it doesn’t mean that anyone surnamed Clarke can interfere in my affairs and dictate me!”
After that, she went out angrily.
She walked to the door and accidentally bumped into the door panel. She was very angry.
Kenny Clarke had no appetite either. He put down his chopstick and suddenly, his phone rang.
It was Shi Ye, “Sir, I have mailed you the surveillance video.”
“Good work.” Kenny Clarke said. He hung up the phone and went to the study.
It was a surveillance video in a pharmacy last Friday.
In the video, there were two people beside the doctor who gave her medicine.
One of the man was wearing a cap and a mask. Kenny Clarke recognized him in a second. It was Si Chengyu.
The pharmacy was located close to the suburbs. Gloria Taylor wouldn’t go there if she had no certain purpose. The Taylor Company didn’t make her work at the suburbs either.
In the video, Gloria Taylor grabbed Si Chengyu’s arm. She was apparently asking for help.
Later, she was taken away by Si Chengyu.
The video showed that Gloria Taylor arrived at the downtown area via bus. They only talked a little after getting off the bus. There was nothing else.
The video showed Gloria Taylor’s front angle. She took a few steps and turned back. Kenny Clarke wanted to see what she said, but after magnifying the video, the picture was unclear. Kenny Clarke could only guess, but he was still unsure of what she really said and there was no way to find out.
Kenny Clarke turned the computer off and rubbed his temples.
He felt that he was weird recently.
Si Chengyu was only asking a few questions about Gloria Taylor, but he was eager to find out about this thing.
***
She woke up hungry in the middle of the night.
She regretted it. She promised not to neglect her stomach the next time she was angry again.
She couldn’t stand it. She rolled over and got out of the bed. After wrapping herself in a thick and long jacket, she went downstairs to find something to eat in the kitchen. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
The villa was quiet at night, but because the villa was built halfway up the mountain, she could occasionally hear the hustling wind blows from outside.
In the kitchen, she grabbed some vegetables and tomatoes. She planned to cook a bowl of noodles for herself.
Just as she was cutting the tomatoes, she felt something cold behind her back as if someone was behind her.
She ignored it at first, but the feeling was getting stronger. She closed her eyes as she gathered her courage to look back. She heard someone behind her asked coldly, “What are you doing?”
Gloria Taylor was startled that she dropped the knife right on her foot.
Fortunately, she was wearing a thick, cotton slippers, otherwise, she would have been badly wounded.
Kenny Clarke was also shocked when he saw the knife fell down. He crouched to see if she was hurt. He found out that knife had not scratched her tightly wrapped foot. He stood up with a sigh of relief and said, “Gloria, I have never seen a woman as dull as you!”
Gloria Taylor returned back to her senses. She picked up the kitchen knife and glared at Kenny Clarke, “It’s hard for me to cook for you every day already. Oh, I think I will stop cooking from tomorrow on. Before Kenny comes back, I will move to other villa to get out of your sight. How about that?”
Gloria Clarke put the knife back after washing it and turned to look at Leon Clarke seriously.
She was fed up with this man already.
He helped her and she was grateful to him, but it didn’t mean that because he helped her, he could dictate herself.
“No way.” Kenny Clarke lowered his face and said that coldly, “Do you want my cousin to think that I have kicked you out so that I and my cousin have a bad blood?”
“Whatever.” Gloria Taylor lowered her head. She didn’t want to argue with this man anymore.
Kenny Clark was standing backlight, while Gloria Taylor was standing facing the light. All of her subtle expression failed to escape his eyes.
She got up from bed in the middle of the night. Her hair was messy and she zipped her thick jacket up to her neck. Her face was fair and glowing under the light. Her energetic cat eyes were now covered by hanging eyelids. She looked depressed.
It took a while for her before she could hear him saying, “I was wrong before.”
“What? Say it again.” Gloria Taylor looked up.
Did he apologize to her?
But, Leon Clarke refused to repeat it. He glanced at the half cut tomatoes and said, “I want to eat too.”
Gloria Taylor was at ease, but she was still talking back at him, “If I put poison in it, will you eat it?”
“I will eat it if you eat it too.” he gave her a heavy look.
“…” he was a mental.
