A Love Trap novel Chapter 189

When Clyde slapped Raymond, Cora rushed to Raymond and pushed Clyde away. "What are you doing? It's not all his fault. He wouldn't have done this if Ashley hadn't seduced him. We wouldn't have lost face!"

Although Raymond's actions had upset her, Cora still intended to protect him because he was her child and she always spoiled him.

Raymond was startled when he heard Ashley's name. 'Has something happened?'

Looking at Cora, Clyde said, "How dare you say that! It's true what they say, 'a kind mother makes a wastrel.'"

"A wastrel? He is my son. Who will dote on him if not me? Isn't he your son? If not, you can drive him way right now. Let me see what you are capable of!"

Clyde pointed at Cora. "You and your son are really going to give me a heart attack, huh! Look at the state of our Luo Group! You want to argue with me instead of doing something to help."

Cora calmed down when she remembered their company's situation. "But you shouldn't blame Raymond like that."

"Dad, what happened?" Raymond inquired.

All he knew was that something bad had happened, and it was related to Ashley.

Raymond was absent from the party last time, but even he had been there, he wouldn't have known that Andrew was going to strike such a blow to their company.

Clyde glanced at Raymond, snorted derisively and walked to the sofa. Obviously, he was still mad at his son.

"Mom, can you please just tell me? What happened? What's wrong with our company? Is it anything related to Ashley?" Raymond turned to his mother when he failed to get an answer from his father.

Instead of answering the question, Cora said, "It must be Ashley. She has married a better man. Now she detests us and intends to make trouble for us."

Although Raymond had broken up with Ashley and decided to give his heart to Lena, he still got upset when Cora accused her.

Raymond wrinkled his brows. "Mom, Ashley is not that kind of woman."

"She is not that kind of woman? Do you know that our company will go bankrupt because of her? Our partners have cancelled all contracts, our stocks are dropping day by day, and most of our senior managers intend to quit."

Cora's reply came as a great shock to Raymond. "Mom, please tell me exactly what happened. What's wrong with the Luo Group? And why do I know nothing about it?"

"Do you know the man beside Ashley?" she quizzed him, instead of answering directly.

Andrew's cold face and menacing eyes flashed in Raymond's mind when he heard Cora's question.

He nodded. "I remember him. Is this to do with him?"

"Do you know who he is?" Cora continued.

"No." Raymond shook his head. Raymond knew he was not an ordinary man when he saw him the first time. He had tried to investigate as to who Andrew was, but despite his strong social network, he wasn't able to get any information on him.

Raymond had a bad feeling when Cora asked him about the man.

He asked in a hoarse voice, "Mom, who is he?"

Looking at Raymond's expression, Cora realized he knew nothing about Andrew. So she began to tell him the whole story.
