Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Appraisal Report
Not to mention, that man still looked like a greasy, big-eared, middle-aged man.
Of course, Adrian Zhekova knew that Cindy Clarke had no relationship with Mr. Lopez.
But every time he thought about Wendy Clarke spreading such nauseating rumors, Adrian Zhekova was infuriated.
Adrian Zhekova nodded, silently cursing Wendy Clarke for being a blockhead.
Then he told Cindy Clarke, “So Wendy Clarke went to Mrs. Lopez because Mrs. Lopez would never allow another child to enter the Lopez Family. Wendy thought that if Mrs. Lopez knew that Mr. Lopez had another son out there, she would definitely not spare you and Morgan. She wanted to use Mrs. Lopez’s hand against you both.”
“But Wendy miscalculated. Mrs. Lopez is not as foolish as she thought. On the contrary, I admire her. She and the wife of the richest businessman in Nork City are both intelligent and calm.” Adrian Zhekova nodded.
“What does the wife of the richest businessman in Nork City have to do with this?” Cindy Clarke asked, puzzled.
Adrian Zhekova explained, “The so-called bystander sees clearly. She had some suspicions but needed someone to help her analyze the situation. So she went to Henry Doone’s wife. After discussing, Mrs. Doone introduced Mrs. Lopez to a detective, who Mrs. Lopez then asked to investigate you and Morgan.”
“Of course, my people are also involved, and he could not find any information about you and Morgan. But I needed to ease Mrs. Lopez’s doubts, so I deliberately exposed some information about you and Morgan’s identity and gave it to the detective to pass on to her. That’s why Mrs. Lopez personally came to Belfard today and saw Morgan from a distance.”
Cindy Clarke was startled, as Morgan hadn’t mentioned this: “Did she not reveal herself in front of Morgan?”
“No, at least she knew her boundaries.” Adrian Zhekova said, “Even if she really wanted to go to Morgan’s face, she would have to see if I would allow it. From the moment Mrs. Lopez stepped into Belfard, my people have been following her. If she makes any inappropriate moves, they will stop her immediately, without disturbing Morgan or you.”
“She doesn’t know that you are my husband and Morgan is my son.” Adrian Zhekova explained, “After all, even if Mrs. Lopez is rational, she is still an outsider, and I cannot trust her completely. What if she leaks this to the Clarke Family? So all I want her to know is that your husband, Morgan’s father, is someone they cannot mess with in Nork City.”
“Mrs. Lopez saw Morgan and knew without even looking at the paternity test results that he had no relation to Mr. Lopez. I had someone explain and warn her, so she naturally knew she had been fooled by Wendy Clarke.”
Cindy Clarke was silent for a moment before asking, “So Mrs. Lopez has already returned to Nork City?”
“She left this afternoon.” Adrian Zhekova confirmed.
It was because Mrs. Lopez was so decisive and rational that Adrian Zhekova did not make things difficult for her.
If there were more smart people like her, Adrian Zhekova could save a lot of trouble.
Cindy Clarke’s mouth twitched with some indifference: “Mrs. Lopez won’t spare Wendy Clarke when she returns, will she?”
But now that they had Wendy Clarke as a target, it was much easier to handle.
Mrs. Lopez didn’t delay, especially since Mr. Lopez hadn’t returned home for a long time. Going anywhere now wouldn’t arouse his suspicion.
Mrs. Lopez came out from her room, went downstairs, and saw the child, Samuel Lopez.
Samuel Lopez was sitting on the sofa playing a game, and the coffee table in front of him was piled high with snacks.
His hands were still greasy from eating some dried meat, and his mouth was coated with some snack crumbs.
Seeing Mrs. Lopez come out, Samuel Lopez didn’t even bother to move his eyes.
Mrs. Lopez felt a surge of disgust. Even if the child Mr. Lopez had brought home were somewhat attractive, at least it could be pleasing to the eye.
But Samuel Lopez inherited all of Mr. Lopez’s appearances and shortcomings.
Moreover, he wasn’t her biological child, so how could Mrs. Lopez like him?
This child had been gluttonous since he was little, but Mrs. Lopez was too lazy to control his diet and left it all to the maid.
The maid, of course, didn’t care about Samuel’s figure or health.
As long as he liked eating snacks, she would let him eat, resulting in his current sloppy appearance on the sofa.
Mrs. Lopez went to the door to change her shoes, and only then did Samuel finish a round of his game. During the break, he turned his head and asked her, “Mom, where are you going?”
“I’m going out for a while. You can have dinner at home by yourself.” Mrs. Lopez replied coldly.
Especially now that she knew that Samuel might be Wendy Clarke’s son, Mrs. Lopez felt even more disgusted.
She really hadn’t misjudged Wendy Clarke.
That woman was no good.
Before, when she heard that Cindy Clarke had given birth to Mr. Lopez’s child, Mrs. Lopez still had a skeptical attitude.
But when it came to Wendy Clarke, Mrs. Lopez had no doubts at all.
That was indeed something Wendy Clarke would do.
