A Love Trap

Chapter 340 Cora's Anger

If he found out about it, he would punish her for thinking like that

And how he would punish her was totally up to him.

Back in the Luo Family house, Cora furiously paced back and forth. She tossed her purse on the couch angrily, grinding her teeth.

She looked so wrathful, no one dared to approach her.

Since it was a weekend, Clyde was home. The pressure that the Lu Group was exerting on them was gone, and the business was back on track.

He could finally take a break and spend some time at home.

He noticed how upset Cora was, and he was compelled to put the newspaper aside. "What's going on?" he asked. "Why do you seem so angry?"

Clyde and Cora had started their business from scratch. They only had one child and that child was Raymond. Sometimes, they put a lot of pressure on him without intending to.

Clyde loved Cora deeply. He was a faithful husband. He had never lied to or cheated on her. All he wanted was to spend a good life with her alone.

They managed the business together. Their lives had improved significantly after the business flourished. However, Cora had changed.

Success spoiled her. She started to think too highly of herself and looked down on girls like Ashley. Thankfully, her relationship with Clyde was unaffected.

Presently, his question made her think of Lena. Unable to keep it inside her anymore, she snapped, "It's all because of Lena! She is such a horrible person!"

He replied, "What about her? I thought you liked her." Clyde was well aware of Lena. In fact, he had a good impression of her.

"I remember you brought her soup today... Also, why are you home early?" he asked, with a look of confusion.

She had told him about Lena's miscarriage, which was the last thing he heard about her.

He felt sorry for her. If Ashley hadn't caused her miscarriage, she would soon have become a mother, and he would've become a grandfather.

Cora loved Lena a lot.

She treated her like their own daughter.

"Please, don't. Her very name upsets me!" Cora replied.

Clyde stood up, curious about what was going on. "What's happened? Did she say something to you?"

"If that was the case, I wouldn't have been so upset. You don't know how much she loathes our family. She planned the whole abortion thing! She did it herself, Clyde! She wants to take Ashley's position and marry the CEO of the Lu Group!"

The more she talked about Lena, the angrier she got. She had treated her so well, and this is how she turned out!

She couldn't understand how she could be so heartless. Even an animal understood the value of loyalty!

It was because Cora didn't know this whole story that she had so bluntly blamed Ashley!

"Are you sure about this? She seems like a good girl. Is it possible you might be mistaken?" asked Clyde, unable to digest this information. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Cora sneered, "No, it is not! I know now that she acts like a nice girl. She almost fooled me with her pretentious innocence! Hear me out. She framed Ashley and defamed her!"

As she explained the matter to him, Cora passed him a voice recorder.

Listening to the recording again, she started to realize what a danger Lena was.

They all had been fooled by her.

She sat beside him, listening to each word carefully.

Ashley had left a copy of the recording for her before leaving.

Cora took it, but she didn't appreciate it at all.

Clyde's expression spoke of the disgust he was feeling after he finished listening to the recording.

When Lena's parents had talked to them, they'd said Lena and Raymond really loved each other. They wanted them to get married and have a good life.

None of them had guessed it was all a sham. The most despicable thing was when she forced the abortion of her own baby and how she loathed Raymond even though she had everything!

Lena was the sick mastermind behind all of this, and her family was her accomplice. The Mu family had pushed too far!

Clyde banged his palm on the side table. "This time the Mu family has gone too far, Cora! We cannot let this go unpunished!" he said, as furious as Cora had been a while earlier.

Cora agreed, "Exactly! First of all, we need to call off the wedding! What their family has done is unforgivable, and they will have to pay for it!" Suddenly, she thought about Raymond. "Have you seen Raymond? Is he home?"

she asked.

"I haven't seen him. He would probably be at the hospital, taking care of that evil woman!"

Frowning, Cora replied, "Yes, he was still there when I went. But after listening to the recording, he said something to Lena and left. I assumed he'd have come home."

She was suddenly worried. "Where is he? I really hope he doesn't take it all upon himself. What if he hurts himself, Clyde? I'm worried."

She was getting more and more anxious.

Clyde held her hand and comforted her. "He won't. He is a grown up man who knows what he's doing. He won't do anything stupid. Don't worry."

Before Cora could say anything else, Clyde distracted her. "When do you think we should talk to them about canceling the wedding?"

"Let's do it right away! Since we have the day off, let's end it as soon as possible. Just thinking about Lena is making me sick!"

She paused for a while, then gnashed, "I thought she was such a nice girl, you know. But... it's heartbreaking that she's so evil. How could she kill her own child?"

Clyde replied, "Alright. You know what? Don't think about it anymore. What's done is done. There is no point in thinking about it continuously. We just need to deal with it."

Cora still couldn't let go of her anger. However, Clyde's words made sense. All they could do was limit the damage.

Hurriedly, they got up to leave for the Mu family mansion.

On their way out, they saw Raymond walking into the living room.

Cora spotted him right away. She put her purse down and rushed to him. "Raymond, honey, are you okay? Where have you been? I've been so worried about you!"

Raymond put up a smile for her mother and replied, "I am okay, Mother."

Cora could sense the difficulty he had, trying to smile. Lena was surely on his mind.

Carefully, she asked him, "Raymond, do you think you could still love Lena after all this? My dear, she is not good for you! She's so cruel to have killed her own baby! And for what? For getting a better social status?!"

"Honey, listen to me. Your father and I are going to see the Mu family to call off the wedding. I will find a good, nice and smart girl for you!"

Seeing her worried eyes and knowing she was trying to comfort him, he let her continue talking, even though he barely heard any of it. He simply nodded his head, then replied, "Okay..."

Cora continued, "Do you want to go with us?"

Raymond shook his head and replied, "No, Mother. Can I just stay home? I need some time to myself."

His voice sounded weak. He was having a hard time processing what had happened. The natural smile he always carried was gone.
