Chapter 669 Be Sober

• Seeing a virtual number again, Rachel frowned. But after pondering for a while, she still picked up the phone. Then, she kept silent. If it was a telephone fraud, she would immediately hang up. If it was Angela again, she would take the initiative to speak. Soon, the caller said in a middle-aged man’s voice through a voice changer, “Today is your grandpa’s birthday. Happy birthday to him.” Rachel frowned, “Get down to the business.” She thought preliminaries were unnecessary now. The caller smiled slightly, “Miss Roberts, you must feel very upset about what happened at the banquet just now.” Rachel’s face suddenly became gloomy, and she subconsciously clenched her phone. She had not expected Angela to know about it so soon. She had not come here, so it must be someone at the party that had told her. She might have some connections among these businessmen. Or it might be her that had bought the waiters over “I don’t know what you are driving at.” Rachel was in a bad mood, so when hearing Angela’s words, she became even more irritable! However, the caller did not intend to stop but smiled, “Jordy only showed care about Gloria in front of so many people. Don’t you want to fight back? If you let their relationship goes on like this, the consequences will be unbearable for you.”
• The caller’s voice was a bit hoarse. While speaking, the caller had deliberately paused and accented some words, making Rachel more upset. So, she took a deep breath and pressed her eyebrows with one hand to calm herself down. She knew she must not let the caller control her emotions. Otherwise, she would be misled. Soon, she said in a deep voice, “If you have nothing else to say, I will hang up.” “Since I called you, I have something to tell you. Do you think I called you to chat?” Rachel took a deep breath again and then kept silent. She had asked twice, but Angela had not said her purpose. So, she decided to wait to see how Angela would try to goad her this time. There was still time before the banquet ended, so she could continue the call. Moreover, she believed Angela would tell her soon. So, she was willing to cooperate with her and wait for her to start her play. Soon, the caller continued, “Gloria had dinner with Jordy the day before yesterday, and they watched a movie together. They even went to the old house of the Collins family together. You know Old Madam Collins likes her very much, right?” Rachel kept silent. Maybe she acquiesced. Or maybe she just did not bother to reply.
• Angela didn’t mind it but smiled again, “Old Madam Collins has a high status in the Collins family. Old Mr. Collins doted on her to the extreme and is always taking loving care of her. Her words have an enormous influence on her family. Although Old Mr. Collins dislikes Gloria and even issued a notice against her, it was useless. Gloria and Jordy frequently appear in public together now and even became a trending topic, but the Collins family has done nothing about it. Miss Roberts, you must get sober. Now, Old Mr. Collins may not support you any longer.” The Purpose of the Play Hearing this, Rachel frowned deeply! She knew Old Mr. Collins wanted her to marry Jordy. But after hearing Angela’s reminder, she noticed something was wrong. Old Mr. Collins had always been the head of the Collins family. Although Jordy called the shots in the company, most of his family members still listened to Old Mr. Collins. However, although Jordy’s love-affair trending topic might affect the share price of the Collins Group stock at any time, Old Mr. Collins turned a blind eye. He had not dealt with it at all. So, Rachel wondered what he was thinking now. If he stopped supporting her, she would be at a loss for what to do. Her heart skipped a beat, even her temples popped out because Angela’s words had hit her pain point. The caller smiled, “Old Mr. Collins used to be very supportive of Angela. But when the White family fell, he didn’t help. Although the White family is different from the Roberts family, you and Angela have the same enemy. I admit you are much stronger than her. After all, her family background is much inferior to yours. But Gloria is different from her. Gloria has many powerful sock puppets. Do you still have a sense of superiority when facing her?”
