Chapter 256

Her Father Was Taboo

“Since Mr. Collins is here, why don’t we put our cards on the table? You know what the old man did and
what happened between us. I let it pass because I don’t care, but if you cross the line, you’ll face my
wrath.”

Her voice was cool, indifferent, and devoid of her usual tenderness.

Angela tensed up and looked at Jordy. The sarcasm was distinct in his eyes. He snorted and said,
“Whether Joseph lied or not, you know the answer. What your father and you did is disgraceful.”

Gloria’s face fell. “You can accuse me, but no one is allowed to accuse my father!”

She flared up, stressing her tone.

Both Angela and Jordy were shocked. At that point, Gloria’s eyes were icy cold. “Jordy, if you care
about the reputation of Collins Group and do not want to see me working with Jonathan, tell Joseph to
conduct himself. For the sake of your grandmother and father, I will let you go this time. If it happens
again, you will be sorry.”

“I dare you!”

He threatened her.

It was his response to her plan to work with Jonathan rather than to the last part of her speech.

Angela, who was in the dark, scoffed in her heart. Although Gloria was sort of capable, her ability was
nothing in front of the colossal Collins Group. What made her think she could challenge them like that?



Angela said with feigned concern, “Gloria, what you’re talking about? Although you get divorced, you
don’t have to be enemies. There may be some misunderstanding. We can talk it out.” Gloria smiled.
“Unlike you, I can’t keep Mr. Collins around me forever, and neither am I qualified to clarify anything
with him.”

Jordy’s face clouded over, and he sneered as if to express that Gloria knew her distance.

“So,” Gloria raised her voice, “I won’t go soft with you, Mr. Collins. If this kind of thing happens again,
be aware that a small leak will sink a great ship. Besides, I am not a small leak, and you’re not a great
ship to me.”

Angela was astonished.

Gloria is so bold. Has she lost her mind?

The veins were popping on Jordy’s forehead. Before he could taunt her, Gloria turned to Angela and
said, “Cousin, I’ll leave you chatting with your future husband.”

Future husband. Angela was delighted to hear that but did not dare to reveal her emotions. Instead,
she muttered with concern, “Gloria…”

Jordy turned livid upon hearing that.

They used to be a couple, but she sounded so indifferent.

He itched to skin Gloria.

With a faint smile, she said goodbye to Angela and left.

She went off without even looking at Jordy.



She seemed to have broken all ties with him.

Angela rejoiced in her heart. She used to think that Gloria had been playing hard to get till that matter
happened yesterday. Probably, Gloria couldn’t stand it anymore. Her father was taboo after all.
