Chapter 354

Miss Roberts Wondered If You Were Deaf

Newell was mute.

Karen raised her eyes to him and frowned, “I saw your mouth twitch.”

Newell said hopelessly, “Mom, as you can see, there is nothing we can do about it.”

Newell didn‘t want to lie to his mother.

“It‘s his fate. You spend all the time worrying about him. It won‘t help. Who can handle him?”

Karen said fretfully, “When he finds out how good Gloria is, I‘m afraid it‘s too late. He‘ll only

live toregret it.”

Newell sighed and didn‘t say anything.

Karen continued softly, “You don‘t have to worry about me or come back so far to see me.

I‘ve got closure. Rest assured, I‘ll take my medicine on time. I‘m getting much better.”

Newell nodded and looked at Karen. “Jordy will regret it one day. Keep yourself healthy and let‘s wait fo
r the day he wins Gloria back.”

Karen nodded with an angry yet expectant face. “You’re right. I‘ll wait for that day to come.

This brat is just too cocky. He‘ll regret it!”

Newell coughed. He had no words to say, though he knew that she was anxious for Jordy.

The party.



After Jordy finished talking with Harold, he started looking around for Gloria. He saw her sitting opposit

saw Jordy approaching. She smiled at Jordy, “Mr. Collins, it‘s been a long time.”

Jordy nodded at Rachel but had nothing to say to her. Her eyes stared fixedly at him.

Gloria looked up at Jordy and frowned slightly. What‘s he doing here?

She was sitting here for a break, and he could go elsewhere, away from her. There
was no need to go on pretending

Jordy looked at Gloria. “How much longer do you need to rest?”

“My feet are sore after the walk. The heels are too high.”

The implication was that she was unwilling to get involved in any business talks, which had

nothing to do with her.

The heels were chosen by Jordy.

Jordy‘s eyes moved slowly down from her face but saw nothing because her feet were

hidden under the dress.

Sudden scorn flared in his eyes, while he remained outwardly calm. “You‘ll just need to be patient awhile

Some deep wrinkles furrowed Gloria‘s forehead. Jordy, that bastard, tries to take advantage of my sore



However, with Rachel around, he had to pretend to be a gentleman. Gloria said with
a smile, “Mr. Collins, I believe in your ability to strike a deal without me.

My feet are aching. I don’t want to cause you any trouble. Why don’t you go by yourself?”

With that, Gloria looked at Rachel and continued, “Since Miss
Roberts and you know each other, how about you two go together?”

Rachel glanced at Gloria with some surprise.

Jordy‘s brow creased slightly. Rachel noticed this and said smilingly, “Well, I‘ve got a lot on my plate. I‘m

Gloria looked at Jordy‘s cold face and smiled smugly at him, as much as to say, “Did you
hear that? Miss Roberts reminds you wearing high heels is very tiring because you were deaf to my

complaints.”
