Chapter 778 Gloria's Choice
- It was more of a provocation than a question. She did save and incite defection of five men, including Zack. Zack was afraid of Mr. Goddard’s brutal retaliation. That was why he chose to seek refuge with Jordy and Gloria. The man seemed to know the situation and called them “henchmen”. Gloria also noticed the smirk on his lips and the ruthlessness in his eyes. She squinted her eyes and greeted him, “Mr. Goddard?” She had looked into him and got only a few brief introduction on him. She hadn’t seen his pictures before, not even in the auction last time. In Gloria’s imagination, someone as vicious and sinister as Mr. Goddard was supposed to be an ugly old man. But he turned out to be a pretty-looking man.
- Those blue eyes of his looked charming, bold and insolent but more playful, contemptuous and cruel. Mr. Goddard sighed, “Miss White, if you were short of hands, why didn’t you just ask? Why did you steal my men in such a ignominious way?” He remained smiling despite he was sighing. Gloria found it kind of amusing. Since he did not truly mean it, how could he spoke it out so naturally? But she chose to respond in kind, “Mr. Goddard, if you wanted Misty Lucid Ganoderma, why didn’t you call and ask. I might give you some leftover. Why tried so hard to steal it in such a despicable means?” There was no denying Gloria’s cleverness and courage. Mr. Goddard looked at her, admiring her courage. No one had ever dared to stand before him and speak to him in such a way. Mr. Goddard laughed and replied, “Well, it’s not too late for me to ask you for some leftover, is it? I’ve heard that you’re capable of detoxifying Heart Piercing Poison. If you could help me solve this big problem, I promise you…” “What can you promise me? My apologies, but fame and wealth hold little appeal for me,” Gloria chimed in, wearing a broad smile. With that, she turned around. Seeing that she was leaving, Mr. Goddard ran after her. But before he could say anything, Jordy and Heather stepped forward at the same time.
- Three handsome men followed Gloria. Among the crowded people, Gloria soon hogged the limelight of the public. They were all curious about what kind of charm Gloria had to seize these three pretty-looking men’s hearts! The onlookers wondered what Gloria’s choice was! Without even looking at Heather or Mr. Goddard, Gloria took Jordy’s arm. People recognized them both and said, “Aren’t they the two gods of luck? Let’s follow them and get a share of good luck! “He were a couple. No matter how excellent those two young men were, she would certainly choose her ex-husband!” “Go on, go on! Let’s follow up!” The crowd followed. Gloria heard the footsteps behind her, but she ignored them. She retracted her hand from Jordy’s arm after they entered the private room together. She sat in her leather booth and frowned slightly as she looked up at the stream of people in the drawing-room on the first floor. His Real Purpose Why was Crockfords Club throwing this party? What was their purpose? Gloria could not help but feel suspicious of the true identity of Crockfords Club’s owner. Even people as influential and powerful as Heather and Mr. Goddard attended the party.
