Chapter 2328
Gloria was suddenly stunned. Both Sabrina and her looked at each other. To be honest, a few years have already passed, but even until that point, both the mother and daughter were still unable to get closer to this loved one of theirs. They could only say they no longer hated him at best, but they truly were unable to love him.
"Can you...open the door for me?" old Master Shaw's voice was trembling.
Gloria bit her lips and then said softly, "Hold on for a moment."
Immediately after that, she opened the door. Right at the moment the door was opened, Gloria saw that old Master Shaw’s back seemed to be slightly more hunched than before.
"Is there...anything?" Gloria asked.
"Gloria, I...I heard, I heard that James really...really is a scammer and also a murderer? Are you...alright? You already knew all he had done beforehand, and you still took such a risk? You're too bold! What if something were to happen? He didn't...do anything to you, right?"
Old Master Shaw was still quite reserved with his words. He could not speak of what he was worried about. Even though he had been keeping a very close eye on James, he still was uncertain if James had violated Gloria. 1
"No," said Gloria calmly.
"Really? Don't lie to me. If he really had done something overboard to you, I will get someone to make his life a living hell in prison." Old Master Shaw hit his walking stick on the floor with great fury. After that, he looked at Gloria while complaining a little, "Gloria, I'm not trying to criticize you. I am always by your side. Your nephew, Marcus, as well. There's also..."
Old Master Shaw glanced at Sabrina and his eyes were filled with gentleness and ingratiation. "Sabrina, you're here? You also knew about this matter regarding your mother, didn't you?"
Sabrina politely smiled at old Master Shaw. "Hello. I knew about it and I rushed to the small house in the suburbs as soon as I could. My mother went through something frightening but she is not in any danger. It's fine. All of the criminals were already arrested in one go."
"They were all arrested, but the concern is still there. Do you know how worried I was?" said old Master Shaw and he unexpectedly was covered in tears.
Gloria and Sabrina were both speechless.
It was after a long while that Gloria said plainly, "Thankyou, Dad."
She was not thanking him just for the concern that old Master Shaw had for her at that moment. It was also because throughout the whole process, Gloria, officer Angie, and others have discussed it and they wanted to use old Master Shaw's intimidating mightiness. It was with old Master Shaw's intimidating mightiness that James truly would not dare to act recklessly, otherwise, nobody could tell what might happen.
