Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 2320

Gloria smiled. "Because of you." "Was it that time when Vireo's sisters came over?" Sabrina immediately asked.

Gloria nodded. "James was so scared that time that his soul almost left his body. He hid in the courtyard and both of his legs were shaking. I saw it with my own eyes. I just pretended I didn't know anything, and I even did my best to comfort him."

Sabrina smiled. "Mom, I never would have thought that the one time that I was rude to you actually helped you. However, Mom, do you know how worried I was at that time? I originally didn't intend to intervene in your relationship matters because I feel that as a younger member of the family, I shouldn't be involved. No matter who you’re dating, I will support you. However, before that, Sebastian had witnessed James being an angry drunk and acting like a rogue at a restaurant. That made Sebastian and me extremely worried. I took the day off from work that day to come and visit you. In the end, I ran into Vireo's sisters, who were causing a scene, and then followed us all the way here. All sorts of coincidences just happened to run into each other. You have no idea about this, but when I saw how cheesy James was and how he looked just a gigolo at a glance, I truly wanted to beat him into a pulp on the spot Mom, I am not afraid of other things. I'm not afraid that he would cheat you out of your money because it's losing some money in the worst scenario. What I was most afraid of was that he would break your heart. If you were to lose both money and also your heart, would you still be able to live? That was what I was mainly afraid

of."

Gloria hugged Sabrina. "I know. I know all about it. I know that you're the daughter who loves her mother the most in this world! If you had loved me any less, you wouldn't have had such a big reaction that day. I know. However, at that critical juncture, it was almost time to capture them after we've put in so much effort in the early stages, so if we were to alarm them, then all of our previous efforts would be in vain. Therefore, I can't tell you the truth. I'm sorry to have made you worried, baby."

Gloria looked at Sabrina incredibly apologetically.

"Mom, don't say that. In fact, I was the one who had not paid enough attention to you. I thought I was already being very diligent and caring to come to visit you once a week with the kids. However, I never expected that so many things had happened around you this month, and I didn’t even know about it at all."

Sabrina was feeling guilty. Nothing happened to her mother because she was quick-witted. However, what if something had happened to her mother? What should she do?

Gloria looked at Sabrina lovingly. "My child, it's not your fault. I had intentionally hidden it from you, so how could you have known? When you came over every weekend, I deliberately made it so that James would not appear at the same time. I told him that I am already very old, so dating someone is a very embarrassing thing, especially when I didn't want my daughter and son-in-law to know. Unless one day I'm getting married. I'll let my daughter know then. Besides, your grandfather has been watching James at all times, he did not dare touch me at all. That was a plan that Officer Angie and I had formulated. Therefore, my personal safety was very well protected."

"But then, wouldn't James be so desperate that he’ll do anything?" Sabrina could not help but ask her mother.

Her mother laughed. "That's right. The ultimate goal that Officer Angie and I wanted to achieve was to both keep James from getting close to me and to make him see that I have mountains and mountains of wealth. Then, let him be so desperate that he'll take desperate measures."

Sabrina got curious again. "Mom, then what desperate measures did James take in the following week or so after that? How did you guys round them up and capture all of them?"

Gloria continued recalling the past.

Ever since Old Master Shaw threatened James, and then James encountered the incident of the Payne sisters calling the police to block them outside of Gloria's house, James became easily startled and frightened at everything. However, because Gloria kept showing him affection, he had to respond to her. Even so, his response was only sending flowers to her every day.

After he responded the same way every time, Gloria got angry. "Do you not like me? If you don't like me, then you tell me as soon as possible! I won't keep pestering you!"

"I-I promised your father that I..." James said with immense difficulty.
