Chapter 257

Pay Her a Visit

As Gloria went out of sight, Angela called out in an anxious voice, “Gloria, Gloria!”

She intended to get off the bed, but Jordy stopped her and said, “Let her leave!”

Angela turned pale and shook her head. “But she hasn’t recovered yet. What happened yesterday was
a heavy blow to her. I tried to comfort her, but she wouldn’t come out of the shadows. I’m afraid she’d
do something stupid!”

Jordy’s pupils contracted.

Gloria was now homeless. There was no longer a family keeping her. If she chose to end her life…

But he snorted in the next second. “Gloria is a hypocrite of no scruples. How could she possibly do
anything stupid?”

A flash of a smile crossed Angela’s eyes, but on the surface, she shook her head and said with
concern, “She is my cousin. My only cousin. Could you stop hurting her…”

Seeing the kindness and anxiety on her face, he croaked, “You should lie down.”

Angela wouldn’t listen to him, but Jordy urged again, “If you don’t lie down, I won’t let her off the hook.”

Angela had to comply. “Alright! Promise me that you won’t hurt her.”

Jordy gave no response. After covering her with the blanket, he said in a bland tone, “I still have
unfinished business. Angela, I’ll come and see you tomorrow.”

Angela was reluctant to part with him but nodded her head at the thought of what Gloria had just said.
“Sure, go ahead with your business. Jordy, you don’t have to come and see me. I’ll get well soon.”



Jordy nodded and left without another word.

Outside the ward, he quickened his pace and saw that one of the elevators was halfway down. Losing

no time, he took the other one.

His face was gloomy, and the entire elevator seemed to be enveloped in darkness. The coldness was
emitted from his eyes.

He got out of the elevator and looked around, but Gloria was nowhere to be seen.

Jordy frowned before rushing toward the underground parking lot.

He moved fast while Gloria was slow in high heels. Before long, Jordy spotted her.

She had unlocked the car door. He hastened over and grabbed her wrist.

She had unlocked the car door. He hastened over and grabbed her wrist.

Gloria changed color, struggling while turning around. At the sight of Jordy’s long face, she frowned
and snapped, “What are you doing!”

Oblivious to her reaction, Jordy dragged her to his car and thrust her in from the passenger side. She
was not as strong as him, and he evaded her every strike as if he was familiar with her moves. Gloria
turned livid and barked, “What do you want from me!”

Jordy closed the car door and croaked, “Karen wants to see you!”

Gloria was surprised. Doubts were written in her eyes, Karen had given up imposing on her. Why did
the former want to see her? And Karen let him find her in this way?



“I’m not available today. I’ll give her a call.”

Gloria tried to get off, but Jordy snorted, “Karen has been feeling unwell all day because of her heart
problem. If you have a conscience, pay her a visit!”
