Looking at the strange number on the phone, Gloria hesitated. But if she hung up, she was afraid to expose her real thought, so she had to pick up the phone.
"Hello, Gloria is speaking."
"Hello, this is..."
Listen to the name of the other party, Gloria was stunned.
"......"
"......"
The other party kept saying over the phone, but Gloria had not responded. Listening to what the other party said, Gloria changed on her face.
She lifted her eyes and looked at Brian. Fortunately, Brian's attention was not on her.
"We can make an appointment to talk about business."
"......"
"Don't worry. I'll talk to you myself."
Gloria then hung up the phone, holding the mobile phone, her hands were trembling.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Gloria said awkwardly, with a pale face.
"How is that? Give me your answer."
Brian's time was really limited. He did not want to chat with Gloria, because he felt annoyed.
"Well, I haven't decided yet, can I have more time?"
Gloria suddenly changed her decision because of the phone just now.
"Yes."
Brian agreed steadily, but he was relieved. He hoped Gloria would consider in all her life, so that he would not be forced to get married.
"You go to work, I gotta go."
Gloria turned to leave, for her now, the most important thing was to see another person.
Gloria went directly to where she had to go.
"You brought your assistant with you. Are you afraid I will kill you?"
Penny said with a contemptuous manner and a cold voice, the sinister look in his eyes sacred Gloria.
Yes, it was Penny called Gloria.
"You were in prison. How did you get out?"
Gloria asked timidly, for a prisoner stood in front of her with a malicious face.
"I am sick, so the prison let me out."
"Sit down. You can't stand there all the time."
Penny took a look at Gloria and her assistant with disdain.
Gloria walked to the sofa and sat down, three meters away from Penny.
"What's wrong with you?"
Gloria did not believe it, because that sick prisoner got out seemed not to be in line with law.
"Never mind, the police agreed with that, otherwise I won't have come out."
"I heard you are with Brian."
Penny got to the point, which was the main reason she asked Gloria out.
"Yes. You are separated from him and I have the right to be with him."
Gloria's momentum had been enhanced. She did not want to be timid in face of Penny.
"You haven't changed much in this long absence, but your temper got hot. If you have the right, if you are so confident, why come to see me?"
There was no anger in Penny's words, but it sounded scared.
"I..."
"Cut the crap. What asked me out?"
Gloria was unable to fight back, the only thing she could do was to wait for Penny's tricks.
"That's what I like about you. You give straight talk."
"You can't be with Brian. Break up as fast as you can."
Penny's purpose was that simple, without any other ideas. As long as Gloria and Brian broke up, she would be happy and satisfied.
Brian was hers. As long as she was alive, no one else could have him, especially Gloria.
"Why, you've already broken up. Why we can’t be together? Penny, you are too domineering.”
"Are you saying that after all these years I can't find proof of your abortion?"
"You are too naive, I cannot find it, but Winnie can find it. As long as the computer has record, Winnie can find it out. Even if you have someone deleted it, she can restore it.”
"Afraid? Do you want to challenge Winnie's hacking skills?"
Penny said in an evil manner, for Gloria's counterattack and fearless struggle, she felt funny. Even if there was no Winnie, she had evidence of Gloria being promiscuous.
"You are despicable, you use the same way to threaten me twice. Penny, I curse you go to hell."
Gloria got up, and walked away angrily after taking a glance at Penny.
"Don't forget to break up with Brian, or you will make a big splash in the entertainment industry."
Penny reminded Gloria. She believed that this method was effective. Last time she did not dare to entangle Brian because of this matter.
But she would see the development of things to see if Gloria hated Winnie.
Gloria could not wait to make a call. She couldn't handle it alone, so she had to ask for help.
"Uncle, I'm in trouble."
Gloria said and told him that Penny had threatened her.
"You mean Penny was released from prison? She is at home now?"
It was Thomas. Thomas could not believe what he had heard. He did not expect that Penny was out.
More than once Penny hinted Thomas she wanted to come out, but Thomas did not want to take the risk. So by what means did she come out?
"Yeah, I just met her and it can't be false."
Gloria was no longer calm. She did not know what to do. It was a good chance for her and she didn't want to miss it.
"How did she get out?"
Thomas was puzzled and felt he had undervalued Penny. He thought she was a fool, but she did what most people couldn't do.
"She said she was ill, and the prison sent her out. I asked her what her illness was but she didn't say."
"Uncle Thomas, what should I do? She and Winnie wanted to drive me away from Brian, I can’t fight back alone."
"Uncle Thomas, we've worked so hard for so long and put so much energy into it that we can't just give up."
Gloria now was not afraid of Winnie, but that Penny told her story to Brian. Once He knew that, he would not marry her, even if she were the king's daughter.
"Gloria, calm down. We can't give up since we started. No matter who gets in the way, don t give up.
