Chapter 988 Deceiving Her into Coming here

Claude put on a sudden face and said, “Miss Maguire, don’t get me wrong.”

Hearing this, Nydia sneered and wanted to make some sarcastic remarks. But she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue on second thought.

Irene looked at Gloria instead of Claude and said with a gentle expression, “The deceased has passed away. Sometimes, you will just feel sadder if you know more. Gloria, I think you should give up inquiring about such things.”

Claude was shocked to hear his. Gloria had come here, so it proved that she was interested. He had guessed it right. But if they continued to persuade her like this, she might listen!

Sure enough, Gloria nodded in agreement, “You’re right. Knowing too much will only make me sadder and miss him more.”

Claude, Angela, and Martha were slightly taken aback to hear her words. But before they could say anything, Irene smiled and nodded, “Yes! It’s better to let nature take its course. You don’t need to care about your father’s past so much. He will be happy as long as you live a good life now.”

“Yeah! If you worry too much, your father will feel sad! Gloria, you must move on. What’s more, maybe Mr. White is lying. What if he just made up a story to induce you into coming here?” Nydia winked at Gloria and seemed as if she didn’t want her to know too much either.

Claude was so angry that he had difficulty breathing.

He was wrong! He shouldn’t have invited Gloria to dinner as soon as the trial ended. He should have gone home to discuss it with his family first. Then, he could invite her out alone or go to her home in person! But now, too many dogs were barking here and messing up her mind!

He was a little anxious, so he hurriedly said, “Gloria, it is a misunderstanding. We have never hurt your father! Where did you get those recordings and medicine? You… ”

Gloria frowned because she was annoyed by his nonsense. And then, she said in an impatient tone, “I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense. If you repeat those words, I can only rudely ask you to shut up!”

Claude’s smile froze, and he was on the edge of flying into a rage now.

Taking a deep breath, he said, “His death has nothing to do with us. You can’t believe other people’s lies or accuse us! Gloría, we are related by blood after all!”

Gloria’s face became sullener when she looked directly at Claude and said, “I’ll give you one last chance. What are you going to say about my father?”

Claude was angry about her tough attitude. And Angela swore in her heart that she would kill her sooner or later! Seeing this, Martha hurriedly coughed, immediately calming both of them down.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It must be the waiters who came to serve the food.

Martha quickly said, “Please come in.”

The door was pushed open, and several waiters walked in with dishes.

After putting them on the table, they all took a step back, and then, one of them said respectfully, “Dear guests, your dishes are all served. Would you like anything else?”

“No, thanks. Please go out.” Martha was in no mood to ask everyone what else they wanted. Moreover, their purpose today was not to eat.

“Okay,” the waiter replied, walked out, and closed the door.
