Chapter 775 Among Them

• Among them, the elder guy was the first one to make a statement to Gloria. He had also changed the way how he addressed Jordy. The bloody scene and what Gloria said did scare them. They had all tried fighting poison with poison. Because they wanted to live! Gloria felt stuck in limbo. She was not a heartless person. Gloria declared herself by saying. Tve promised to save you. I will keep my word. Besides, you have just saved me and Jordy’s lives Don’t worry I won’t let anything happen to you!” Gloria gave Jordy a wink. They stopped talking and focused on stewing the herbs. Little did they know. They were about to be called on by a gang of thugs. But before the men could force their way through the door, someone stopped them. The man at the front was identified as Ernest, the one running Crockfords Club.
• A fight was on the verge of breaking out Ernest put his left hand in his pocket, holding a cigarette with his right hand. He took a puff and then snorted playfully. “Go back to your boss and tell him Gloria White is the one we watch over. As long as she is UK, Crockfords Club will secure her safety!” The casino had sent someone so influential to deliver the warning, the leading thugs got cold feet. He was after all a petty role who took orders from Mr. Goddard. He dared not risk starting a war between Mr. Goddard and the casino, so he retreated. When he passed on the message to Mr. Goddard, Mr. Goddard’s face turned sullen and cold. There was fierceness and hatred in his eyes. What was Gloria White’s true identity? Heather, the crown prince of America came after her again and again and Crockfords Club was protecting her secretly For a moment, he had a strong interest in Gloria. The hallway outside Gloria’s room was emptied of threats. Ernest took the elevator downstairs to the underground parking lot, followed by his men. White’s room was empty. They hopped into their cars and didn’t seem going to start the engine soon. After making a call, Ernest ordered his men to hide everywhere around the hotel so that Gloria’s room could be secured. Quinto was puzzled. He looked up at Ernest and whispered, “Ernest, does Gloria have anything to do with our boss?” Quinto didn’t get the answer he wanted. But he was slapped hard on the head- Just as he was getting confused, Ernest shouted angrily, “What does it have to do with you, chatterbox?”
• Although he was also curious about why their boss asked him to investigate Gloria and why he continued to hold the party after failing to find out anything special about Gloria’s identity. He even told them to come and secure Gloria’s safety. Ernest looked at Quinto coldly and asked, “Are you in the position to conjecture the boss’s thoughts?” Quinto touched his forehead and said sulkily, “Ernest, aren’t you curious? Look, right after Gloria White walked into our casino, she got the privilege to meet our boss. Nobody was supposed to win so much money and walk away. But Gloria White has set a precedent. All the things she did, in our casino, that’s a ‘capital offense’. Instead of holding her accountable, boss sent us to protect her. I won’t believe it… if you are to tell me she is a normal woman.” A Sleepless Night With these words, Quinto lowered his head, not daring to confront Ernest’s gaze. Ernest burst out laughing, “I don’t know why Joss takes you for a confidant. Believe it or not, what can you do about it? Be she a normal woman or not, what can you do?” In fact, Ernest’s eyes were filled with dislike for Quinto. If Joss hadn’t been assigned by the boss to do something else out of UK, he wouldn’t have had to bring Joss’s men here on this mission. Quinto stopped talking. But his prejudice against Gloria was deeply rooted! At the time, in the hotel room, Gloria had served the four with the stewed herb soup. She said coolly, trying to calm down their nervous mind, “Your condition is worse than Zack because of the medicine you took without a prescription. You would be on a course of herb soup I prescribe and take more rest in the hotel. When you…” Before she could finish, the five cut her short and asked, “Miss White, you don’t want us to serve by your side?” Gloria was startled. She knew what they were thinking. They were afraid of being hunted down by their old master. By following her and Jordy, at least they could have shelter.
