Goodbye, My Love

Laura scolded her.

“Mom, don’t blame me for this.” Marina pouted Like a spoiled child.

“It’s all Marco’s fault. If he hadn’t cut off my finances and taken all my luxury items for Loraine’s sake, I wouldn’t have resorted to spending part of your money.”

Marina was fond of blaming anyone but herself whenever things turned bad.

Florence was utterly disgusted by her behavior. She had thought Marina was a good young lady, but she now realized that it was all a facade.

She gave up the idea of engaging her son with such a fraudulent woman.

“Mrs. Bryant, you should handle the issue with your daughter somewhere else. Besides, it’s getting pretty Late.”

It was clear that they weren’t welcomed here anymore. Laura, whose face was red with shame, picked up the fake clock, grabbed her daughter by the wrist, and Left dejectedly.

Florence rubbed her forehead hard. After a while, she looked at Loraine from head to toe and became friendly.

“Loraine, thanks for your help. I didn’t expect you to have a good eye for antiques at such a young age. Your ability is much better than that of experts who have been in the industry for years!”

“Oh, I’m flattered, Mrs. Cruz,” Loraine intoned, blushing a Little.

“Mom, my new friend is really something, isn’t she?”

Grady chipped in, his eyes glinting with admiration for Loraine.

Florence frowned when she saw the way her son looked at Loraine.

Although she didn’t believe the bad things Laura and Marina said about

Loraine, that didn’t change the fact that Loraine was Marco’s ex-wife.

The last thing Florence wanted was for her son to be involved with a divorced woman. Worse still, the divorcee in question wasn’t even from a reputable family. What was there to gain from such a union? No! She couldn’t allow that to happen!

At the thought of this, Florence said to Loraine, “I’m grateful for your help. If you hadn’t pointed it out, we wouldn’t have known that the clock was fake. You know what? Our warehouse is filled with priceless antiques. You can go there to pick up whatever you Like. I don’t Like being indebted to anyone.” Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mom, how can you say such a thing?” Grady uttered disappointedly.

Without being told, Loraine immediately knew why Florence was behaving this way. But she turned down the offer politely.

“That’s very considerate of you, Mrs. Cruz. But, no, thanks. What I did was nothing.” I just remembered that I have some urgent errands to run, so I’ll take my Leave now. Bye!”

Loraine was exhausted now. She didn’t want to get into an altercation with Florence, so she turned around and made for the door in a hurry.

Grady caught up with her outside.
