Chapter 82 Florence's Motto

Chapter 82 Florence's Motto

Florence recognized the man in the car at a glance. He was the one she met in the cemetery last time.

The man looked at her and suddenly smiled at her. He got out of the car, walked toward her, and said humbly, "Florence."

Did he know her?

Did come here for her?

"You are?" Florence calmed down and of course, she wouldn't say that she had seen him in the cemetery before.

Besides, Florence didn't even know him.

The man smiled and replied, "My family name is Ryker, and my full name is Henry Ryker. You can call me Henry. I am your mother's friend."

"My mom's friend?" Florence has no impression. Her mother passed away early. Besides, when her mother was alive, she seldom saw her contact with any friends. She didn't think her mom had any friends.

How could a man who had a gun know her mother?

"Why haven’t I seen you before?"

Henry smiled and said, "I have not seen your mother for more than 20 years. I learned that your mother has passed away not long ago. I know that she has a daughter, so I come and have a look."

He specially came to visit the daughter of his late friend. The relationship between the two was definitely unusual.

The first reaction in Florence's mind was that he might have a crush on her mother.

"Florrie, could we have a meal together?" Henry said with expectations in his tone. "In three hours, my plane will take off. I want to have a meal with you before I leave. You look so much like your mother."

Florence didn't know the reason why she couldn't stand Henry's eyes and nodded subconsciously.

Henry was overjoyed. "I have booked the restaurant. Get in the car." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Florence just followed him unexpectedly.

In the huge room, there were only Henry and Florence.

Henry enthusiastically put food into Florence's bowl and said, "Florrie, help yourself. Your mother used to like steamed sea bass the most."

"You know that my mother likes sea bass?"

It seemed that their relationship was really unusual. Florence tentatively asked, "Henry, did you have a crush on my mom?"

Hearing what she said, Henry laughed and shook his head, "You silly girl. You have a good imagination, but no. Your mother and I are best friends. It's not like the kind of relationship you think."

It seemed that Florence was wrong.

"Sorry, I misunderstood you." Florence smiled and continued to eat.

Henry didn't eat much but watched Florence eating.

"Florrie, was your mother happy after she married Lincoln and lived with him all those years?"

Florence thought of her mother, and she felt a little sad and nostalgic. "Mom should be happy. She liked to smile. When she smiled, she looked beautiful and warm."

In Florence's impression, her mother was always elegant and quiet. She kept the house in good order. She had planted a lot of beautiful flowers in the yard, which was especially beautiful in spring.

When Lincoln's company encountered difficulties, her mother would handle all the difficulties and they would be solved soon.

She could make delicious meals and behaved politely and decently when greeting guests. She could not only handle the company's affairs and helped develop her husband's business but also keep everything in the house in perfect order.

In Florence's eyes, her mother was perfect.

But such a perfect woman was betrayed by Lincoln. Florence didn't know if her mother had learned about Lincoln’s affairs with Allison before she died.

Florence also didn't understand why her mom, such a beautiful, gentle, and virtuous lady would fall in love with Lincoln.

Henry sighed with emotion, "When your mother smiled, she looked really pretty. More than 20 years have been away, and I didn't expect to get the news that she had already passed away."

When he was speaking, the corners of his eyes were moist.

He was not acting, and Florence was particularly curious.

She didn't know anything about her mother's family background and past. Lincoln never mentioned it.

"Henry, how did you know my mom?"

Henry avoided her question, and said with a smile, "Florrie, have some more. I don't t know when I will be back after leaving."

Florence was sensible and didn't make a detailed inquiry.

After the meal, Florence stood at the door of the restaurant to see Henry off.

Henry turned around after taking a few steps and took out a necklace. "Florrie, this is your mother's necklace and it should be given to you."

"My mother's necklace?"

Florence looked at the necklace in her hand and found that the pendant on the necklace was designed into a figure with a cat head but a snake body. It was very strange and was a revealing mystery.

"Take it. This is what your mother left to you. Now it is handed over to you. It should be returned to the owner."

Henry got into the car, waved at Florence, and said to the driver. "Go to the airport."

Henry was in a good mood.

"Mr. Ryker, did you give the necklace to her?"

"I am still worried about leaving her alone in Croycor. With the necklace, if one day she really encounters an accident, it might be able to protect her."

"Mr. Ryker, you are so thoughtful. You good care of Ms. Scott."

Florence wore the necklace. Since it was her mother's necklace, of course, she would keep it well.

Florence glanced at the time and found it was time for work, so she hurried to get to the office.

When she just sat down before the computer, Nora came and said, "Florence, Mr. Logan is in his office."

What did he come to the company for instead of having a rest at home?

His legs were almost crippled. How could they be healed so soon?

Florence was a little absent-minded all afternoon. When she thought of having a relationship with Alexander, she felt like dreaming.

The news that Allison cheated on Lincoln was going viral on the Internet. And colleagues in the company were also talking about it, but when Florence approached, everyone shut up or changed the subject.

In the president’s office...

Alexander was sitting in a wheelchair. This time, he was really lame and had to be in a wheelchair.

"Tell me, why did you take the car to the scrap yard? Are you protecting someone?"

Alexander looked serious.

Maxwell didn't dare to face Alexander, and he said playfully, "Alex, what are you talking about? I don't understand. The car was hit and scrapped. So I asked a man to send it to the scrap yard. It's just a car. You won't be that mean, will you?"

"Maxwell. "Alexander slapped the table angrily and said with a cold expression. "Who messed with the brake? Don't let me repeat my question.”

Alexander asked someone to investigate the brake failure of the car, and then he learned that Maxwell had destroyed the car ahead of time.

Alexander had guessed whom Maxwell was protecting effortlessly.

"Alex, I, you..." Maxwell avoided Alexander's eyes and hesitated in speaking.

"Alex, don't blame him. It's me." Katherine pushed the door open and came in. "I just wanted to teach Nora a lesson. But I didn't know she would ask Florence to go to Peach Blossom Mountain and you would also go with her. Alex, I knew I was wrong. I didn't expect it to be so serious. Is your injury better?"

Katherine was very smart, so she used Nora as an excuse. Of course, she didn't dare to admit that her target was Florence.

"Why are you in the company?" "Alexander narrowed his eyes and his tone was cold. "When did you come back?"

"I've been back for a while, I am planning to give you a surprise." Katherine smiled and held Alexander's hand, showing shyness on her face. "Alex, I miss you. You haven't visited me for a long time, so I asked Max to help me and let me work here."

Alexander gave a fierce look at Maxwell, and Maxwell lowered his head.

"Go back right away." Alexander withdrew his hand, and a cold light flashed across his deep eyes.

"I'm not going back. I want to stay here. Alex, don't be mad. I really know that I was wrong this time. I just wanted to teach Ms. Walker a lesson. For the sake of my sister, can you forgive me? From

now on, I will take care of you every day. It will be a punishment, okay?" Katherine held Alexander's hand and acted cute.

"If it's not for the sake of your sister, I would have sent you to the police station." Alexander grabbed Katherine's hand firmly and said in a cold tone. "I warn you. If you dare to do Florence the slightest harm again, don't blame me for being cruel. Fuck off right now!"

Alexander was not a fool. How could he believe that Katherine did it just to teach Nora a lesson?

Katherine was astonished, and she was aggrieved and shed tears. "Alex, my sister lost her life for you. You are now shouting at me for Florence. Don't you feel sorry for my sister?"
