Mr. Goddard didn't take Jordy seriously at all. Every word he said was challenging Jordy's patience.
When Mr. Goddard said this, there was a smile on both sides of his mouth, as well as the coldness and provocation in his eyes.
Jordy was infuriated. He wanted to step forward and attack Mr. Goddard, but he was stopped by Gloria. She shook her head at Jordy and deliberately lowered her voice. "Calm down!"
There were only two of them at the moment. Although they only saw Mr. Goddard, who knew if there was anyone in the dark?
Once there was a conflict, they were outnumbered.
Jordy's injuries had not healed yet, so he could not afford any more injuries.
Jordy turned his head and gestured for Gloria to leave first. The worry in his eyes was obvious.
However, Gloria could not go along with him.
She had to take Jordy with her. She could not leave Jordy alone with Mr. Goddard, with whom he might start a conflict.
