Chapter 1702

[ 571 words ]

“I figured her son’s boss would have more sway than me, right?”

“As long as Dewitt values me, her son definitely won’t object.” When it came to pulling strings, you had to start at the very top!

Claire gave him a thumbs-up. “You’ve got this all figured out.”

The man was fighting hard for love, even plotting to use Dewitt as leverage.

Dewitt had a ton of guys working under him, so Claire had no idea who Gloria’s son actually was.

But she offered her support. “I’ll help you out.” She owed him that much for the amazing brisket.

The chef really knew what he was doing; the meat was absolutely mouthwatering.

“But are you entirely sure Gloria is actually interested in you? What if this whole ‘my son needs to approve’ thing is just an excuse?”

If the woman wasn’t actually into Gerald, Claire had no intention of playing matchmaker.

Forcing a bad match was a surefire way to invite bad karma!

“Don’t worry, it’s the real deal. We’ve been making eyes at each other for a long time.”

An idea sparked in Claire’s mind. Once she finished eating, she decided to do some digging on this Gloria character.

She tracked down the gardener tending the grounds outside.

To her surprise, the gardener also had a massive crush on Gloria.

He even claimed she was the gentlest woman he had ever met.

Claire was baffled.

Refusing to give up, she asked another worker, who also confessed his undying love for Gloria.

He hadn’t confessed yet, but he was deep in the throes of a secret crush.

“I think my chances are great, though. Gloria is incredibly sweet to me.”

Where were these guys getting this confidence?

Just who exactly was this Gloria?

How could she command the affection of so many men at once?

At least two of them firmly believ

they shared a deep unbreakable bond with her.

So, were these men just delusional, or was Gloria casting an incredibly wide net?

And what was her endgame?

Was her son really one of Dewitt’s right-hand men?

Stubbornly, Claire headed back to

the

G. She wanted to see

her own eyes and press

Gerald for the name of this

mysterious son.

If Gloria really was just a lovely, charming woman, then fine.

But if this was all a massive con, Claire had serious doubts about her motives.

“Stephen, what do you think is going on?” Claire asked, looking at him.

Initially, Stephen assumed Claire was just killing time.

The young woman usually projected a mature, composed aura, but she clearly couldn’t resist a juicy piece of gossip.

Her nosy side actually made her seem much more vibrant and real.

But as the gossip unraveled, things started to feel incredibly off.

If this Gloria woman really had that many men wrapped around her finger…

Based on his years of investigative experience, there was a ninety percent chance she was bad news.

“Let’s observe for now. We’ll go meet this Gloria together,” Stephen said.

Rumor had it that Gloria was also from Apex, which allowed her to

leverage her shared hometown net

connection with Dewitt to secure a cushy job in the cafeteria.

“Excuse me, could you tell me who Gloria Luvell is?”

Very few locals understood Claire’s Solenian, and even fewer could translate.

However, there were plenty of Solenian workers around, and eventually, someone pointed Gloria out to her.

Claire had been picturing a stunning, mature woman radiating undeniable charm.

A cafeteria siren, someone with a magnetic presence.

Maybe her gentleness lay in how deeply she cared for the working-class men around her.

But when Claire finally laid eyes on her, the reality was a jarring contrast to her imagination.
