John Wayne looked at his son with a cold expression, and then, he sneered: "Aren't you living with Gloria now? Why are you still so concerned about Lily's life? Aren't you afraid that she'd be jealous if she found out?"
Hearing Gloria's name, Jack Wayne's expression froze for a moment.
"I may have more unexpected moves recently. Don't bother me. I'm your father, and you're still like your mother. You're born cowardly, and even if you inherited half of my courage, you still wouldn't have been able to live up to your current achievements!" John Wayne had been under a lot of pressure recently, and the Old President had always wanted him to show his loyalty by showing his results. This time, they had sent people to kill Lily, and it was also John Wayne who wanted to give him a greeting gift, but sadly, this time, everything was for nothing, and Lily returned home safe and sound.
He punched the table fiercely, "Since you have never set your eyes on me, then no matter what you do in the future, I will no longer try to persuade you, and I will no longer help you!"
"Why would I need your help? If I were to count on you, I'd better wait for my old age. Unfortunately, I'm not willing to just let it go like this. You can leave now!" John Wayne also felt very pained. He did not count on his son's support and help, but after being struck like this, he still felt that others were heartless.
Jack Wayne turned and left. Deep in his heart, he felt an indescribable sadness, he felt that his father would never be able to turn back, or perhaps, he was enjoying this kind of thing where he plotted against others and played tricks. It turned out that his father's path was not on the same line anymore.
Jack Wayne did not go back to his company and went back home instead. Gloria was at home wrapping some dumplings, making up some flour and rubbing it. Hearing the door open, she walked over happily.
The door opened, and Jack Wayne walked in with an ashen face.
"You're back?" Gloria raised her two small hands that were covered in flour. Seeing his strange expression, she put away her smile.
"Why didn't you go to school?" Jack Wayne did not expect her to still be at home in the afternoon and frowned.
"I don't have any classes today, so I don't plan to go. Did something happen to you?" Gloria asked him in concern.
"It's nothing, what are you doing?" Jack Wayne didn't want to tell her his thoughts, so he couldn't say it either. Seeing her hands covered in flour, and her forehead also stained, he asked indifferently.
"Oh, I'm at the bar, I want to wrap some dumplings for you. Don't you like it?" As Gloria spoke, her face turned red. The reason why she had been busy from the morning till now was precisely because she wanted to cook these fresh foods for him.
"Made for me?" Jack Wayne was slightly startled.
"Yeah, you bought some frozen dumplings to eat earlier, I don't feel that good. When I have time, I'll wrap some for you in the fridge. You can cook them anytime you want!" Gloria said in a low voice.
"Gloria, it's better if you don't treat me so well. I don't know which day, but I won't be able to let you live a peaceful life." Jack Wayne could not help but laugh at himself as he looked at this virtuous little girl in front of him. During this period of time, with her taking care of him at home, he never felt lonely when he came back, but his heart was still cold and lonely, not letting anyone near him.
"What happened to you today? Why do you say that?" Gloria was shocked, and felt uneasy.
Jack Wayne reached out and took a tissue, wiping the flour off her forehead, and sighed: "I don't know either, but I suddenly feel insecure!"
"How can you not feel safe? You're so rich. Money is a sense of security!" Gloria said self —deprecatingly.
"Gloria, I will give you a lot of money. Shall we just stop our relationship?" Jack Wayne said.
"Give me money?" Gloria's mind went blank, she suddenly panicked.
"Yes, I will give you enough money for your entire life. One hundred million, is that enough?" Jack Wayne said with a serious expression.
"One ...100 million?" Gloria was stupefied by his words. She obviously did not expect Jack Wayne to actually say it out loud with such a serious expression, was he really joking?
"Think about it!" After Jack Wayne finished speaking, he directly went into his room.
Gloria stood in the living room dumbstruck, her mind a blank, just a moment ago she was so excited that she wanted to wrap up the dumplings, but now, she realized that she could no longer hold any interest. Did he want to kick her out?
Edwards personally brought people to the airport to wait for Lily's return.
Inside the carriage, Edwards did not know how many times he had looked at the alloy watch, but he felt that every minute and second felt like a long time.
A low flying plane flew past his car, causing Edwards to see that it was almost time. He opened the car door and stepped down.
