Chapter 1480 Did He Find Something Wrong?
Gloria was aware that Jordy was a man with a vision, but the issue at hand was that his plan was not suitable for the current situation.
Jordy frowned at her, questioning, “How do you know I’ll make it worse? Do you truly think you know me, Gloria?”
Gloria was momentarily stunned.
She felt as though Jordy was quarrelling over petty matters with her, but before she could respond, Harvie approached them.
The depth of Harvie’s eyes caused Gloria’s heart to skip a beat.
Did he find something wrong?
This thought made her heartbeat quicken inexplicably.
Harvie called out to her once more, “Gloria, is everything okay?”
Gloria took a deep breath to calm herself, before answering shortly, “No.”
And before turning to leave, she added, “Since you don’t take advice, I won’t say anything more. I hope you get what you want.”
Gloria walked away without looking back at Jordy or uttering another word. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Jordy watched her retreating figure, feeling upset and with a heavy heart, although he couldn’t explain why.
Gloria soon walked to Harvie’s side.
Upon seeing her approach, Violet handed her a beautifully wrapped bag with a kind smile, saying, “Miss White, this is what you need for tonight’s party.”
Gloria examined the bag and immediately understood that it contained a dress for her to wear when thought of the party tonight that Harvie had metioned.
She nodded, took the bag and headed to her room to change.
After she left, Harvie turned to Violet and instructed, “Inform Ernest and have him bring some people to follow us to the party tonight.”
“Yes, sir!”
Violet replied and immediately set out to find Ernest, who was actually Jordy.
As Gloria were attending the party, Jordy was now pretending to be Ernest, so he also needed to attend the party.
Just as Jordy was briefing his men, he received a call from one of them in the basement.
The phone rang loudly, and the man made several calls in succession.
Jordy went into the washroom to answer the phone, turning on the tap for safety.
“Mr. Collins, something has happened! Ernest attempted suicide!”
The voice on the other end was urgent.
Jordy knew that Ernest wasn’t genuinely trying to take his own life, but was merely trying to express his position.
Nevertheless, Jordy asked, “How is he now?”
“We caught him in time and prevented it. He’s unable to eat or speak for the time being. Mr. Collins, his message is clear. If he doesn’t see you today, he’ll keep finding ways to kill himself.”
The undercover henchman planted by Jordy conveyed Ernest’s message truthfully.
Jordy said faintly, his eyes cold and deep. “I see.”
Ernest was using this as leverage to force Jordy to appear, and if he was willing to go this far, he might take even more extreme measures next time.
Jordy looked at the time, tightened his mouth, and after a moment of silence, said slowly, “Tell him I’ll be there later.”
For the time being, he had to attend the party first.
The man nodded, but still urged Jordy, “Mr. Collins, you’d better hurry! Ernest is difficult to handle!”
“I know,” Jordy replied with a cold expression and hung up the phone.
He walked out of the washroom just as Gloria had changed into her dress.
The little red short dress accentuated her fair skin and complemented her figure perfectly.
