Chapter 849 Rumors

• Thinking of how she had intimately supported Mr. Long just now, Jordy felt physically and mentally uncomfortable! Gloria was extremely dissatisfied with his words and deeds. So, she glared at him and said, "How can you have the nerve to blame me? Jordy, don't you think it is you that is overdoing it?" Who did he think he was? Why did he have the nerve to restrain her like a king? Jordy instantly refuted her judgment, saying, "I don't think I'm overdoing anything." "I don't care about your opinion! I do think you're going too far!" After they began to argue, Jordy said, "I respect your opinion. But I don't think I am overdoing anything. And you shouldn't have negated everything I did because of such a small matter. It's unfair!" Gloria was stunned because she had not expected him to take about "fairness" with her. However, since he had mentioned it, she did not mind being more straightforward. So, she said with a smile, "You think it's unfair? Are the things you did in the past fair to me?" He had always unscrupulously done whatever he wanted. "Gloria, we're not talking about the past." Gloria immediately retorted, "Why not? It's not a long time ago, right?" Those things had not happened a long time ago, so they could talk about them together with what was happening now. He had never treated her fairly, so she did not care about whether things were fair to him. Soon, she even added, "If you think it's unfair, you can leave!" If he left, he would not see how she treated others or say such emotional words anymore. Jordy remained silent with a serious expression.
• And he had fully realized Gloria had changed. She would no longer look at him all the time or treat him as well as before. But he could not leave, so he restrained himself and kept silent. Harold soon bought all the clothes and daily necessities. Back at the one-bedroom apartment, Mr. Long knelt in front of Gloria and said, "Ms. White, you can rest assured. I will testify against Claude even at the cost of my life." This was not only saving his family but also repaying her kindness. However, he had something more to ask for. Gloria had a high social status, so if she adopted Kara and took care of her, the latter would have a bright future. Therefore, he said with embarrassment, "Ms. White, I don't know how long I can live. But I promise I will try my best to bring Claude to justice as long as I live. However, I am worried about my daughter... Could you please take care of Kara in the future? You can let her work for you when she grows up. Could you please adopt her?" Hearing this, Jordy crisply refused in a stern voice before Gloria could say anything, saying, "No." Kara was seven years old. If Gloria adopted her, how should she introduce her to others? Her sister or daughter? But people would gossip about them no matter what. And there would be all kinds of rumors about Gloria. She Couldn't Always Be Taken Advantage of At the same time, Jordy was also dissatisfied with Mr. Long, because in his eyes, Mr. Long was pushing his luck! When Mr. Long was scolded by Jordy, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face. However, he didn't get up, and he was still staring at Gloria with sad eyes. Although Jordy spoke first, he was just helping her refuse him for her good. She had helped the family because she wanted to bring down Claude. So what she needed most was that they were healthy so that they could go to court to better testify against Claude. As for adoption, she hadn't thought that much yet. "You don't have to worry about that. Didn't I tell you everything? Take good care of yourself, and I will arrange everything for Kara. If you are really afraid...
• when things are over, I will give you a sum of money and find you a good job." She was very confident in curing Mr. Long's disease. In the future, Mr. Long could handle raising a child by himself. Then she wouldn't need to adopt her anymore or help the family too much. "Miss White, I know you're going to arrange everything. But Claude won't let me have this day. He ruined my life. He just asked someone to drive and kill my wife. He is so bold because he believes that I have no proof. But I have been quietly recording every time. Even with your help this time, I still have a bad feeling. Miss White, I'm begging you. Please!" As he spoke, Mr. Long bowed deeply to Gloria. He looked extraordinarily sincere and humble. Seeing this, Gloria looked serious and fell silent. Jordy on the side was a little impatient. What was he doing it? Moral kidnapping! Gloria helped him out of kindness, not obligation. Besides, although Gloria wanted to use this to bring down Claude, this time she had helped Mr. Long and his daughter Kara as well as seeking justice for Mr. Long's late wife. The Long family was the biggest beneficiary. Moreover, Gloria had also arranged for his daughter to go to the nearest school, given them a house to live in, and promised them a large sum of money to cure his illness in the future. She would even find him a good job. That was already a good payoff! But Mr. Long was thinking about leaving his daughter to Gloria's care. Gloria had a good heart, but she couldn't be taken advantage of. Thinking of this, Jordy said coldly to Mr. Long, "Think about it. If it wasn't for her, you would still be living in that shabby house. With your current financial situation, you can't even afford food and clothing, let alone treat your illnesses, send your daughter to school, and rehabilitate yourself and your wife. You'd better not push your luck." Jordy's face was getting gloomier, and the coldness and sharpness in his black eyes were even more obvious. This was the first time Jordy had said so many words to an outsider. His words were also meant for Gloria. He didn't want Gloria to soften her heart and agree to Mr. Long's request. Gloria was inherently kind, but she could not always be taken advantage of. Of course, Gloria knew all this very well and knew that Jordy was talking to her. Gloria said indifferently, "My friend's words are what I want to say. I can help you if you have any needs or difficulties in the future. But things are not so bad. With me, this situation will not happen. You can rest assured." She had been monitoring Claude all the time, and she would know clearly if Claude did anything.
