Chapter 24 Gloria’s Five Percent Share
Joseph’s face was disgusted as he muttered to himself, “What a bitch!”
And then he quickly moved the car to the side and tried to leave from the side.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Gloria instantly moved to the side, hugged the front of the car tightly and said, “Joseph! I’m pregnant! You can’t leave me alone!”
She shouted hysterically, her expression almost twisted.
The Stewart family in the car heard her loud and clear.
Joseph was dumbfounded, and the next second he quickly got out of the car, clutching Gloria’s wrist and asking coldly, “What did you say? You’re pregnant?”
He hadn’t taken any measures for comfort, and it was possible for her to be pregnant.
Why it was at this juncture!
Archie and Phoebe were shocked at the same time, their eyes full of disbelief as they looked at Gloria outside the car.
Although Gloria was a woman they disliked, but the child was at least the Stewart family’s child, they couldn’t help but like it!
Jocelyn and Allen were stunned.
Sara was overwhelmed with joy.
Why hadn’t she said so earlier? If she had said so, she wouldn’t have agreed to withdraw her marriage, but it’s okay, it’s not too late now!
The only person who was watching all of this was Noah, who was cool as an outsider.
Joseph immediately increased the strength of his grip on her wrist, staring at her face and questioning, “Is it really true? Don’t you lie to me.”
He had just seen how sinister Gloria was, and he would not easily believe it, even if it was really possible.
As soon as his words left his mouth, Archie and Phoebe immediately walked quickly to the two of them.
Archie looked at Gloria with expectant eyes and asked, “Really? Gloria?”
There was a change in his attitude.
Phoebe at the side did the same.
“It’s true, go to the hospital to check if you don’t believe me, go now,” Gloria said with an unwavering look on her face as she looked at them.
Although it was wrong to lie, this lie was necessary, if not, not only would she be killed by her father, but she and Joseph would never be able to continue.
She would never allow the man she had managed to steal from Jocelyn to fly away so easily!
She loved Joseph, and apart from loving him, she loved the light he carried and the glory he bestowed on herself!
After being with him, her friends’ eyes were more or less with envy, she loved the feeling of being looked up to by others, she wished she could always stand tall!
Although Jocelyn had repeatedly stressed that she didn’t like Joseph anymore, she still didn’t want to believe it completely, what if her indifference towards Joseph was just a desire to get away with it?
As long as she still had a breath of air, she would never let him go! She hate it when that bitch gets carried away!
“Let’s go to the First People’s Hospital, it’s closer to here.” Phoebe said impatiently.
At those words, Gloria’s eyes immediately became even more determined and she responded directly without thinking, “Okay.”
She had just concluded that they would definitely go there, firstly, they were familiar with the director of this hospital, and secondly, the First People’s Hospital was the best among the nearest hospitals to this place.
She had thought that if they didn’t say they were going there, she would suggest they go there, but she didn’t expect them to mention it themselves.
The head of the obstetrics and gynaecology department there, Luca, had made an appointment with her before.
Joseph then shoved Gloria directly into the passenger side of the car.
The three Stewart family members then quickly got into the car.
The black Mercedes S600 quickly sped away, leaving behind only a strong smell of car exhaust.
Seeing this, Sara let out a long breath, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curving up in a smug curve.
Jocelyn, on the other hand, gave Noah a disappointed glance before not saying anything more.
Since she had already said that she would leave everything to her father, then she could only be quiet and wait for him to give his word.
Allen helplessly let out a long sigh and tiredly pinched his brow, walked up to Jocelyn and patted her shoulder, saying, “I’m sorry, Jocelyn, since she’s pregnant, there’s no way to punish her. How about sparing her this time?”
Jocelyn nodded, she always felt that Gloria was lying, if it was true, why didn’t she mention it when Stewart’s family came to withdraw the marriage just now?
Despite the many doubts in her heart, on the surface she remained gentle as usual.
“To compensate you, I will transfer the five percent of Gloria’s shares directly to your name.” Allen said.
Sara’s jaw almost dropped in shock and she asked in disbelief, “Honey, you’re not fair.”
“You are a mother of a criminal, who are you qualified to talk to me about fairness here?” Allen scolded unceremoniously.
The anger that he couldn’t vent out on Gloria, he could only vent it elsewhere, and Sara just happened to bump into it, so how could he not scold her?
Without waiting for Sara to say anything more, Jocelyn immediately smiled gently towards Allen and said in a soft voice, “Thank you, Dad.”
She felt that this was a better way than letting Gloria be severely beaten and then locked up in the basement.
“Right, Jocelyn, you’ll be taking over that new property I told you about earlier tomorrow.”
“Eight o’clock next Tuesday morning is an auspicious time, I’ve set the opening for that day, you just have a week to prepare the marketing plan.” Allen said.
Jocelyn knew that the reason he had not informed her until a week before the opening was purely to test her ability.
Without thinking, she said confidently, “Okay, I understand.”
It was only a week, but it was enough for her.
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.” Allen added.
“Well, okay.”
Sara couldn’t help but give her a blank stare, filled with discontent.
Originally that property sales manager position should have been her daughter Gloria’s, but now it was given to this bitch!
She only hoped that this bitch would not make any achievements, or else Murphy’s might really have nothing to do with Gloria in the future.
Thinking of this, Sara’s hands hanging at her side immediately clenched into fists.
But on second thought, she thought that if Jocelyn, a newcomer with no management experience at all, took over a new property in such a hurry, how could she make any achievements so easily!
“Alright, I’ll go in first then.” With those words, Allen then dropped his gaze onto Noah.
After the two nodded politely towards each other, Allen turned around and entered the house.
Sara did not follow immediately, but walked up to Jocelyn with a cold face and her arms around her chest, raising her chin proudly as she coldly said.
“If you don’t have that ability, you should not carry the burden.”
“Although you graduated from a prestigious university with a degree in financial management, you have no management experience.”
“How can you possibly do a good job when you are taking over a new property that is about to open in such an emergency?”
