The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 357

Gerald was really crossing the line with his words, acting like Lorraine was incredibly blessed to have stayed unharmed under his care.

Lorraine's emotions were not very stable due to her pregnancy, and Gerald's words only caused her emotions to worsen even further.

"Don't you find what you're saying disgusting? I've always seen you as my father," she said.

Gerald actually had a regretful look on his face. It was as if he felt that he should have taken advantage of her if he had known everything would be exposed.

"Lorraine, stop trying to act like you're so noble. Every man has a few women on the outside. And who knows for sure how you paid for your living expenses at university? Have you had a sugar daddy before?" Gerald spat out.

"Shut up!" I had been tolerating Gerald for Lorraine's sake, but he was really pushing his luck at this point.

I swung a punch at his left eye. He was too old to take my punch head-on, and his eye swelled up immediately. He staggered back with a hand clutching his eye.

With one eye shut, he used his other eye to search for me. "He hit me! He hit me! Everyone, come look. A Joplin Group executive hit me."

His shouts managed to attract a crowd.

The crowd didn't know what happened, but they started to whisper to each other while pointing at Lorraine and me.

"What kind of people are they?"

"He hit someone so old? How shameless."

"Yet another ungrateful bastard."

As their murmurs grew louder, Lorraine was unable to withstand the pressure. She leaned into my arms as her body trembled.

"Let's go," I said.

I really regretted bringing Lorraine here. Looking at her weak and frail face made me want to slap myself.

"Get lost," I pushed away the crowd in front of me in anger.

"How rude."
