Chapter 409

Out of Patience

He noticed that Jordy‘s face darkened.

Harold was confounded.

Could it be...

He is asking about Gloria?

Just as he was hesitant about correcting himself, Jordy‘s deep voice rang out. “Go ahead.”

Harold heaved a sigh of relief and continued to speak, “The clue remains broken. Angela could be a
part of it. She might have obliterated all the traces.”

“What about that man?”

The person he referred to was the one who pushed Gloria.

“He ran away. We‘re still searching. His father is at home, but…”

“Start from his father.”

Harold paused and nodded. “Okay, I‘ve sent someone on the mission.”

Jordy fell silent.

He showed no intention of dismissing Harold.

Harold speculated that his boss might want to know Gloria‘s situation. After a moment of hesitation, he
continued with his report.



“Yesterday, Gloria went to see Angela and talked about the partnership with the Brown Group. The
latter rejected it.”

Harold then unfolded what had happened in the past few days.

“The meeting was confidential. I don‘t know the details, but I guess they were selecting the
representative for the project. It seems that Claude didn‘t want to put Gloria in charge.”

Jordy snorted, “What could Gloria do if she were in charge?”

Harold stroked his nose and coughed. “I heard that Gloria‘s proposal is unmatched.”

Jordy‘s face fell.It made Harold‘s skin crawl, but as Jordy‘s most trusted subordinate, Harold had to tell
Jordy the truth. Of course, there was something else. He had intended to diss his boss for a long time.

In spite of the pressure, he cleared his throat and continued, “I haven‘t been able to collect detailed

In spite of the pressure, he cleared his throat and continued, “I haven‘t been able to collect detailed
information about it, but her proposal…”

Harold stroked the tip of his nose and stopped talking

Jordy‘s face clouded over.

As for Harold…

He had told his boss everything. Biting the bullet, he said, “Mr. Collins, are there any other instructions?
If not, I should go back to work.”

“Go.”

Harold nodded and turned to leave.



Jordy was left alone in the office. The look on his face was not a good one.

Just then, the phone rang, and he looked over.

The sight of the caller ID made him frown.

He hesitated for a moment before answering the phone, “Anything?”

His bland tone made Angela feel depressed.

Back home, she talked with her mother and got agitated.

Her mother kept urging her to call Jordy until she agreed.

Angela took a breath before speaking in an injured tone, “Are you busy right now?”

Jordy frowned, asking, “What‘s wrong?”

Angela‘s voice turned panicky. “Nothing, I just want to know if you‘re free.”

Jordy frowned again and asked in an indifferent tone, “Why?”

“…”

Angela‘s brows were locked in a frown. Why didn‘t he go on asking?

If it were in the past, he would have asked about her grievances.

Now he was impatient about her affectations?
