A Love Trap

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."
