Raymond's frustration worried Cora. "Okay, sweetie. You take some time to relax. But promise me you won't do anything stupid or hurt yourself. Lena does not deserve a person like you. You will meet someone much better than her!"
Raymond nodded indifferently and walked past Cora, heading upstairs to his bedroom.
Seeing him walking away, Cora said to Clyde in a low voice, "I'm so worried about him. What if he hurts himself? Maybe I should stay with him."
Clyde was also worried about his son. He saw how broken he looked, cut off from his surroundings as if he had lost his soul.
But he tried to comfort Cora instead. "Don't worry, honey. You should believe in your son. He won't do any of those things. He's not that weak. Give him some time to think about it alone."
"Okay," said Cora, nodding her head worriedly.
She felt constantly pissed at Lena for having hurt her son like that. "Lena is such a shameless woman! I will never allow her to get away with this stunt. She cannot live a happy life after doing this to my son!"
Raymond was the most important person in the world to Cora. Naturally, she couldn't let pass what Lena had done to him.
That entire day, Ron did not go to the company office.
Instead, he stood in Lena's bedroom, seeing her pack her bags.
"You can call me if you need anything. If you run out of money, I'll give you as much as you need!"
he said, while Lena quietly arranged her luggage.
They didn't have a particularly close relationship when they were young. But even though Lena didn't treat him very well, she was still his sister.
Seeing his sister in trouble, Ron couldn't help but worry about her.
Lena was stunned at his words. It took her a while to answer. "Okay," she said.
Her voice sounded a little hoarse, since she hadn't said anything for a long time.
"You can't think of your life as a trip, you know. Just think about what you have done. What did you gain by hurting others and yourself?
You are no longer a child. You have grown up with the love and protection of the Mu family, and haven't experienced anythin
ed for about ten minutes.
Once it was over, Cora put away the recording pen and looked at the Mu family's faces. "Well? How do you feel about this? Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu, are you satisfied with your daughter's performance?"
Spencer finally came to his senses and looked at Clyde and Cora. "There seems to be a misunderstanding... Lena isn't such a person. She would never do those bad things..."
Peggy quickly added, "Yes. You know Lena so well. Do you really think she would do something like that?"
Their words annoyed Cora. "Misunderstanding? How can there be one?" Isn't it Lena's voice in this recording? She looks down upon Raymond and wants to get married to a richer man. She even killed Raymond's child. We cannot stand her! We have come here to call off the engagement."
"Recording? Where did this recording come from?" asked Peggy in amazement.
"Ashley gave it to me," said Cora.
"Mrs. Luo, you don't know Ashley very well. What if she gave you a fake recording? Maybe she planned all this to frame Lena!" Peggy couldn't help raising her voice.
Cora didn't say anything but sneered. 'Peggy is so ridiculous. She never fails to criticize Ashley while praising Lena.
How can she not feel embarrassed to exaggerate her dislike like that?
Ashley is a member of the Lu family, after all! And Andrew treats her well. It's impossible that Ashley would envy Lena, ' thought Cora.
