My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 93 Poor Thing

Anne Taylor got goosebumps when she saw Gloria Taylor. Her body became stiff.

She wanted to look calm and to smile, but the fear in her eyes was too obvious. As the result, her face looked strange.

Everyone in the elevator noticed her strange look, but no one said a word.

Gloria Taylor slowly approached Anne Taylor. She held her arm and touched her new coat with her other hand. She said in admiration, “Sister, this coat is new, isn’t it? It’s beautiful. It must be expensive.”

Anne Taylor loved showing off her clothes, but the person in front of her was Gloria Taylor who was supposed to be dead yesterday. She was too frightened to show off.

Moreover, she brought the expensive coat using Gloria Taylor’s black card.

“No… It’s not that expensive.” Gloria Taylor moved her arm. She was giving Anne Taylor an illusion that a poisonous snake was lingering her. If she moved, she would get bitten to death.

“Perhaps, it’s not too expensive for you. I saw the same model in a shopping mall yesterday. The coat costs more than 900.000 Yuan and people have to make a pre-order. They cannot casually buy it just because they want it.”

If Anne Taylor had pre-ordered the coat, it meant that she planned to steal the black card a long time ago.

Everyone else would think that Gloria Taylor was envying Anne Taylor’s coat, but actually, Anne Taylor was so scared that she dared not budge.

Gloria Taylor was satisfied with her reaction. This was how a bad person should react.

Ding.

The elevator reached a certain floor. The door slide open.

Anne Taylor wanted to go out, but she dared not move because Gloria Taylor didn’t loosened her arm.

Others saw Anne Taylor standing still. They dared not move as well.

Gloria Taylor pretended to be surprised, “What are you doing, Sister? Why don’t you go out? Everyone is waiting for you.”

She said as she pulled Anne Taylor out.

She didn’t forget to look back inside the elevator and said to the other staffs, “See you later.”

They went inside Anne Taylor’s office. Gloria Taylor locked the door and loosened Anne Taylor’s arm.

“Anne, you look afraid. You put me in a difficult situation. People think that I’m bullying you.” Anne Taylor took a step back when Gloria Taylor started talking.

Gloria Taylor sneered. She held Anne Taylor’s collar and said maliciously, “Don’t be afraid, Anne. I’ve always been obedient to you. I dare not bully you.”

Gloria Taylor had been talking for a while, but she didn’t mention yesterday’s event. Anne Taylor thought she was lucky that Gloria Taylor didn’t know what she did yesterday.

With that false thought came a confidence.

Anne Taylor shrugged Gloria Taylor’s hand off her and put on a puzzled look, “Gloria, have you been taking the wrong medicine? You’re talking nonsense this morning.”

As she spoke, she turned around and walked to her desk. She sat down posing like a person in charge, “It’s time to work. You can start working. Come to me when you have something to discuss with.”

Gloria Taylor was not surprised that Anne Taylor would pretend like nothing happened.

“Well, I will come to see you after work.” Gloria Taylor smiled and went out.

As soon as she went out, Anne Taylor threw the documents on her desk to the ground.

Gloria Taylor was alive!

Loren Taylor and she came up with the kidnapping plan to steal her black card.

The plan that they agreed on was to steal the black card and let the kidnappers leave Shanghai. Even if Gloria Taylor knew about it, she couldn’t do anything to them because she had no evidence.

However, Anne Taylor hated Gloria Taylor so much that she wouldn’t let her go so easily.

She secretly gave more money to the kidnappers to let them have fun with Gloria Taylor and kill her after they were satisfied. The kidnappers were wanted criminals and they were ruthless. Anne Taylor didn’t contact them again because she was afraid of leaving trails. She thought that Gloria Taylor was dead. She didn’t expect she’s alive!

Gloria Taylor was not the same as before. Once she knew that Anne Taylor was the one orchestrating the plan, she would definitely not let her go.

***

Gloria Taylor went out of Anne Taylor’s office to find Loren Taylor.

The kidnapping must have been planned by two of them. Anne Taylor couldn’t have done it alone.

Gloria Taylor knocked at the door, “Come in.” Loren Taylor said.

She pushed the door open and Loren Taylor looked up.

When he saw Gloria Taylor, he was surprised, but he was not afraid.

In other words, Loren Taylor probably didn’t know what the kidnappers wanted to do to her.

He stood up, “Gloria, are you alright?”

“I’m okay. How’s Mom?” Gloria Taylor walked past quietly with flat face.

Loren Taylor saw that she didn’t mention about the kidnapping. He thought that she must have no idea about it. He smiled gently, “She is fine. She will cook lunch and deliver it this noon. Do you want to eat together?”

Gloria Taylor nodded, “Sure.”

Tina Walker came to the company at noon to deliver some foods for Loren Taylor.

Her face slightly changed when she saw Gloria Taylor was in there, “Gloria, you’re here.”

“I haven’t eaten the food you cook for a long time. Dad said that you would come to deliver some meals. I think I’ll join you for lunch today.” Gloria Taylor said as she looked straight into Tina Walker’s eyes. Gloria Taylor’s face was complicated. No one knew what she was thinking.

“My cooking tastes… nothing special.” Tina Walker took out the dishes from the lunch box. She was avoiding Gloria Taylor’s eyes.

Tina Walker’s fidgety behavior confirmed that she knew about yesterday’s kidnapping.

Otherwise, what was she guilty of?

She couldn’t describe how sad she felt, but she was a little disheartened.

She had to admit that her own mother didn’t love her for the past 22 years.

She had no place in her mother’s heart.

Tina Walker could do anything for Loren Taylor.

Anne Taylor was right. She was a poor thing who wasn’t even loved by her own mother.

Gloria Taylor lowered her head and laughed in a low voice, “I haven’t eaten much of your cooking. I don’t remember what it tastes like.”

Tina Walker stopped moving and turned her head to look at Loren Taylor.

Loren Taylor looked at her and shook his head.

She was reassured.

After what happened last Saturday, she found out that Gloria Taylor cared so much about her. She could casually trade the valuable black card out for her.

She must be an importance for Gloria Taylor. If Loren Taylor were to ask Gloria Taylor for a favor next time, Tina Walker would do her best to help him.

If she could help Loren Taylor, he would be happy and treat her better.

With the thought, Tina Walker smiled and handed the dishes to Gloria Taylor, “You should eat more.” she bribed.
