Chapter 3493 Could Gloria Be The Mastermind
There are good explanations for everything that happened previously, so there is no reason to suspect Gloria. Her master, Linda, and Callahan were the ones behind those incidents. Furthermore, I killed Linda. Nothing is more convincing than this!
Therefore, Floyd admitted, “Phoenix, I won’t hide it from you! I did lie…”
“Huh? What is going on?” Phoenix was stunned by Floyd’s statement.
She thought he would stubbornly refuse to admit anything.
“I have been pursuing Gloria from the Ecclesiastic Order! However, I am unsuccessful, and she still hasn’t shown any interest in me. I even told her I am Levi’s disciple, but she said that has nothing to do with me…” Floyd quickly created an excuse and astounded Phoenix.
She was starting to believe him.
After all, she knew Floyd was obsessed with courting Gloria when they were at the Heavenly Base.
At the time, Gloria refused to pay Floyd any attention.
That made Floyd a laughing stock among other people.
“Even now, I still failed to make her fall for me! I fear you and the others would laugh at me if I told the truth. That would be too humiliating, so I lied. I didn’t expect it to cause such a misunderstanding…” Floyd gave a long sigh.
Phoenix seemed to believe him because what he said made sense.
Although she still had some suspicion, she was unsure of how to bring it up for now.
“Really? Does she not show any interest in you? Is she still refusing you?” Phoenix asked puzzledly.
“Yes, she won’t even contact me or meet me now! Argh…” Floyd behaved like a lovesick man.
That further dispelled Phoenix’s concern.
“Since that is the case, Gloria is likely not a honeytrap. If she were a honeytrap, she would seek you out without you having to contact her. After all, you are Boss’s closest disciple and have first-hand information…” Phoenix analyzed and cleared her suspicion about Gloria.
Since Gloria kept refusing Floyd even though he persistently tried to get close to her, she was definitely not a honeytrap.
“I know. How I wish Gloria would get close to me because I am Master’s disciple. Unfortunately, it didn’t work!” Floyd sighed with a longing expression.
Seeing that, Phoenix stopped suspecting Floyd, allowing him to escape suspicion for now.
She rejected Floyd even though he offered himself on a platter. There is no way she is plotting something!
“Still, I have some words of advice for you. You must not fall in love with her too deeply. Otherwise, you will only get hurt. Since she is not interested no matter what you have done, I think you should find someone else. Perhaps she has never thought much about you. Also, you must be careful not to let others take advantage of you. We are in a critical period. Who knows? Gloria might be playing hard to get! Therefore, you should be cautious. I know you are intelligent, but don’t let yourself be swept away by emotions!” Phoenix advised.
Phoenix didn’t mean anything when she advised him. However, her words still managed to wound Floyd’s heart.
Isn’t that how Gloria treats me? That’s right!
Floyd trembled suddenly.
Could Gloria have been using me all this while? Since Master suspects me, I can’t obtain information about him and his whereabouts. Has she abandoned me because I am of no use to her now? Gloria wasn’t like this in the past and was so good to me! Now, she ignored me completely. That’s right. Although it is dangerous for her to contact me, she doesn’t have to ignore me to this extent!
Floyd felt abandoned.
What if Gloria is the person Master has been looking for? It means she approached me to find out about Master and his whereabouts. That matches everything that happened recently! I am useless to her now. So, she dumped me and refused to contact me. What danger? That is all an excuse. She just doesn’t want to see a useless pawn like me anymore.
At this moment, Floyd’s thoughts were clear than ever as he considered everything that had happened.
If Gloria is the mastermind behind all this, then everything makes sense. That would explain the sudden change in her attitude and why she insulted me! No! Could it be…
