Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 420 Tolerance

Cora bit her lips, raised her head highly and stopped tears from running down.

“Dad, am I a terrible person?” Cora’s gaze was chasing Zachariah. She got hurt deeply.

She used to consider in a wilful that Zachariah’s heart would only belong to her no matter what she did. Now it seemed she had overestimated her status in his mind.

Mr. Fletcher sighed and remarked in all earnestness, “Cora, you’re an excellent girl. How would you be a terrible person as the daughter from the Fletcher family? However, your relation with Zachariah was over five years ago. It was you who were headstrong and decided to go abroad. Although you came back five years later and wanted to be back with Zachariah again, he already got married. Your relation is two parallels that accidentally intersected. Just forget about him. Dad will introduce more outstanding men from powerful family background. There are dozens of men who are better than him. The daughter from the Fletcher family shouldn’t bear such shame.”

Cora couldn’t help crying. “But I still love him, dad.” Cora whispered desperately.

Mr. Fletcher found his heart hurt a lot. He must be lying if he told others he didn’t feel sorry for his little girl. If he truly didn’t, he wouldn’t allow Cora for doing so many terrible things.

“Let’s go back first.” Mr. Fletcher remarked.

Cora’s eyes were still following Zachariah. She shook her head and said, “No, dad. I should be the hostess by Zach’s side. I am reluctant. I should tell everyone in the public that I am the woman he loves. I have an abortion for him. He wouldn’t treat me so mercilessly.”

Mr. Fletcher grabbed her hand and whispered, “Nonsense, Cora! Everyone here is either from a wealthy or powerful family. It will be hard for you to be admitted by a powerful family if you announce what happened between you and Zachariah. His reputation won’t be damaged, but yours. You will get

married in the future. The Fletcher family can’t afford such embarrassment. If you really care about your mom and me, you won’t do such a thing.”

Cora turned around, stood still to look at her father and remarked selfishly, “Dad, I am begging you as your own daughter to help me. I really love Zach so much and cannot live without him. You can his parents are good friends. How about you begging for their mercy? They will definitely let Zach merry me. Please, dad, please promise me. I cannot live without him.”

Blue veins appeared on Mr. Fletcher’s forehead because of anger.

“Cora, that’s enough, go back with me.”

Cora directly shook off his hands and walked towards the hall wilfully.

Mr. Fletcher stared at Mrs. Fletcher and scolded her in a low voice, “Look at your good daughter. She has brought disgrace on our family.”

Mrs. Fletcher also got anxious. She was also afraid that Cora would announce her past relation with Zachariah out of impulsion. Then it would be difficult for her to marry into the powerful family.

The upper class had a limited social circle, in which they would meet acquainted people at any time. There was a saying that, “Good news never goes beyond the gate, while bad news spreads far and wide”. If the thing about Cora had once been a mistress was learned by others, even the Fletcher family was a wealthy family, it would be difficult for Cora to find a good husband from a fair family background.

Cora was young and didn’t know how to make plans for her future. However, her parents wouldn’t risk her marriage, also, the Fletcher family couldn’t accept such embarrassment.

Mrs. Fletcher family came forward and hurriedly stopped her. Then she whispered, “Cora, stop fooling around. Just let them enjoy the temporal victory. Mom will find a way to take a revenge.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Cora stood still to look at Ophelia, who was held tightly in Zachariah’s arms from a distance and remarked when gritting her teeth, “Mom, I want to marry Zach. I don’t want other woman to be with him.”

“Yep, yep, you’re going to marry him. I will find ways to let him marry you. Just stop fooling around, otherwise, your fame will be completely ruined.”

Cora looked at her mother and pointed out sharply, “Mom, are you afraid that your daughter will embarrass you?”

Mrs. Fletcher showed an unnatural expression and remarked seriously, “Cora, do you think what I have done for you is not enough? If there are some consciences left in you, you won’t embarrass me and your dad in front of so many familiar people.”

Cora finally stopped.

Mrs. Fletcher pulled her back and noted, “Well, Cora, you have already seen what happened and quarrelled with them. When everything ease down, mom will find others ways. What we should do now is to calm done. Your irrational behaviours will only give other chance to frame you up. Besides, we have already won Madeleine’s trust. Relying on her conflict with Ophelia, we will definitely find a solution.”

Cora finally calmed down. She glanced at Zachariah again and left with her parents.

On the other hand, Zachariah brought Ophelia to introduce her to his respective seniors. The seniors were all content with Ophelia’s gentle behaviour.

“Ophelia, this is uncle Owen. He offered me many suggestions when I first got to the Chambers Group. He’s one of my most respective seniors.”

Ophelia bowed in a good manner and greeted, “Hello, uncle Owen, I am Ophelia. I am sorry for not visiting you in your place after getting married for five years.

uncle Owen seemed to be an honest and kind elder. He looked Ophelia up and down and replied with a smile, “I went abroad six years ago. I flew back on purpose to attend the little boy’s first month party. I am always curious about Zach’s wife. I am really satisfied with you. The girl from the Fletcher family is of good family background and good looking, but she doesn’t know about manners, while you’re different from her, you can accompany Zach in terms of career. I like you a lot.”

Ophelia smiled appropriately and also had a good feeling towards him.

“Thank you. I will try to be a good wife in the Chambers family and will live up to your expectation.”

uncle Owen showed a chipper smile and remarked, “Don’t be nervous. I am not a horrible person. You can just treat me as an ordinary elder man. I am really admired of Zach. I am content that you have become his wife.”

“Thank you.”

After a short conversation, uncle Owen changed another topic and asked, “I have heard that you got a car accident. How’s your body?”

“Thank you for your concern. I have recovered a lot. I just can’t stand for a long time or doing sports. Except that, everything is fine.”

“That’s good.” uncle Owen then told his assistance to bring his gift and handed it to Ophelia.

“I pick this ancient jade by myself. The jade is good for your further recovery.” uncle Owen remarked.

Ophelia carried the gift box with good manners and replied, “Thank you so much. That’s such a precious gift.”

uncle Owen smiled.
