Chapter 331 There must be something else.
Manley's face changed slightly after she heard what Gloria said.
"Miss. Taylor, you are being unreasonable."
"No, Mrs. Si, you’re." Gloria raised her eyes looked at her with a blank expression on her face." I regarded Leon as a younger brother and nothing more. While you, Mrs. Si, you just lost your husband, and Leon just lost his father. Being a wife as well as a mother, what are you doing now?"
The mockery in Gloria's tone was obvious, which infuriated Manley clearly, but still, she chose her words carefully.
"Let's just talk this one issue, nothing else."
"Then don’t, cause I don’t wanna."
"You..." Manley’s chest went up and down slightly with anger." You unreasonable and impolite thing. No men would stand you. You don't deserve Kenny at all."
Gloria may have been suppressed for too long at the Clarke family in the past, so ruder others treat her, calmer she would be.
"Yeah, you are reasonable and polite, so go back and repeat what you told me to Leon. Let’s see what he will do."
Finally, Manley lost her control.
"Gloria Taylor!"
"Oh now you’re being impolite, Mrs. Si. I’m just giving you my advice. Come on, tell him, or you want me to do it for you." Gloria unlocked her phone as she said.
Manley pointed her finer at Gloria and yelled with veins on her forehead.
“YOU B...”
“Yeah, go on. Say it. Prove to me your decency, politeness, or whatever it is.” Gloria tilted her head and looked at Manley Clarke with interests.
Manley gritted her teeth but turned around and left at last.
Looking at Manley walked away, Gloria still wore an expression of indifference on her face.
No matter what reason Manley had to do this little confrontation with Gloria, it could not cover the truth that she was being irrational.
Was it because Leon ignored her but was close to Gloria which caused her jealous?
This one could be justified but was still not tenable.
The cab arrived, and she got in.
Sitting on the backseat, she could not shake all these thoughts out of her mind.
Gloria recalled that on New Year's Eve, she saw Manley and Randy Clarke sneaking into a room. And now when she thought about it, what they did might have something to do with Si Chengyu.
But even if the death of Si Minghuan was not an actual accident, why did they attack Kenny's grandfather?
Among the grandchildren, though Richard Clarke loved Kenny the most, he was also good to Si Chengyu and others, and it was for sure that Richard would be mad if he found out Si Chengyu was Randy’s illegitimate child, but he would never blame Si Chengyu for that.
Unable to think these through, she asked the driver to take her to Kenny's house.
...
Kenny came back late as always.
But this time Gloria did not fall asleep and waited for him in the living room by watching a TV show that included Edith Hall as a guest.
After seeing Gloria was waiting for him, Kenny was surprised.
He strode over, leaned over, and then kissed her on the cheek.
"Miss me? " He said in a joyful voice. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Come on, sit down." Gloria turned off the video and patted the position next to her.
“Something wrong?” Kenny walked sat down beside her as he asked.
"I saw your aunt today. It reminds me of what happened on New Year’s Eve. I saw her sneaking into a room with your dad. Now when I think of it again, they might be talking about Si Chengyu..." Gloria paused and looked up at Kenny.
"Go on." Kenny touched her head with no unusual emotions showed on his face.
Gloria nodded her head and continued.
"And just the next day happened the accident of Richard, but there was no need for them to do that to him if it was only because of Si Chengyu. There must be something else."
Kenny Clarke's dark eyes were deep, making it hard to see what he was thinking.
"What do you think?" Gloria took his hand and asked.
After a while, Kenny opened his mouth.
"You believe that it was because of Si Chengyu that they attacked Grandpa?"
"Theoretically, you can say that, but something was missed, and I just can’t think it through."
Kenny Clarke turned his head, poured a glass of water for himself and Gloria, and then said slowly.
"Did ever occurred to you that they didn’t mean to murder my grandpa? You see, there exists one more possibility which is they found out that you were aware of their secret, so they planned that accident to blame everything on you."
Gloria was stunned and did not take the water Kenny handed her.
She thought she was nothing but a scapegoat because she was the only one who did not carry the Clarke name in that place at that time, which made her the most perfect selection for the planting.
A chill came from the bottom of her heart, spreading across her limbs.
Because if she was sent to jail and she did is Randy’s target, would she still be alive in the jail?
Gloria Taylor shook her head and her voice went slightly hoarse.
"But, I didn't hear anything that night."
Kenny just patted her head silently.
What he did not tell Gloria was they were testing the position of Gloria in Kenny’s mind as well.
If he did his best to protect Gloria at that time, Randy would realize how important Gloria was to Kenny, and after that, Randy could go straight to Gloria without any doubt.
