Anna didn’t know how to answer for a moment
“Matthew has spoken before. So, maybe the reason he couldn’t talk was not the fever. Perhaps he can talk, but just won’t for some reason.” Ryan suddenly said.
Peter’s eyes widened, and he asked, “What? Matthew has spoken? When?”
Anna didn’t expect Ryan to say anything about it. She froze for a moment and explained, “He only spoken twice, once in front of Wayne and the other time in front of me. He only said the word ‘mommy’, but he was very articulate.”
Peter became happy. He looked at Matthew, who was sitting in a daze and immediately had tears in his eyes. He said happily, “That’s really good. It’s okay, we have plenty of time. I’ll have Henry give you that nanny’s number in a minute.”
The thing that worried Pete the most was that Matthew couldn’t talk. Wayne had asked him to take care of Matthew, but then the incident happened to Matthew. Therefore, Pete felt guilty for so many years. He always thought that he was the one who did not take care of the child.
After hearing Anna’s words, he also realized that what happened back then was probably not an accident
After dinner, Henry walked them out at the door of the mansion. Through the car door, he said to Anna, “Miss Gabriel, don’t worry. Although we had fired the nanny, we recorded her cell phone number. I’ll check it out later and let you know.”
“OK, thanks.” Anna nodded to him and thanked him.
The two kids sitting in the back seat were asleep on the way back.
Through the rearview mirror, Ryan saw how preoccupied Anna looked. He asked, “What are you thinking about? Are you worried that even if you find a clue, you won’t have time to check it out”
Anna looked back, nodded and said, “Hey! How do you know what I’m thinking?”
“Oh, I just wanted to tell you that I can do it for you. I have all the time in the world. If you trust me, then leave it to me.” Ryan said calmly.
Anna froze and asked, “Huh? How are you going to do that?”
“First, I need to get information on those nannies. That way, I can find the people who were involved in that accident. I need to find out what they’re doing now and if there’s a huge hit in their bank account. You should be clear about what I will do after that.”
Realizing that his approach was coherent and logical, Anna asked, “Ryan, did you remember something?”
Ryan laughed and said teasingly, “Yeah, I remembered a little bit. I think maybe I used to do things like this all the time. Perhaps I used to be a cop.”
Anna bristled and said, “No way! You‘re twenty years old, and you must not have graduated yet.”
Ryan didn’t say anything. In the darkness, Anna couldn’t see the somber expression on his face.
Anna didn’t go to work the next day. She got an early morning call from Scott. He asked her to come to his office and was going to talk to her about what to do.
As soon as Scott saw Anna, he apologized and said, “I’m sorry, Anna. These reporters are out of their minds! They are just talking nonsense.” |
Anna patted him on the shoulder and sent Scott’s assistant with Matthew and Tammy out the door.
“Ah, it was originally not a big deal. But something else happened this morning.” Sam, Scott’s agent, frowned and sighed when he finished.
Anna replied, “Allie did it, of course. I saw the news on the way here. I didn‘t expect her to have the nerve to do this.”
Someone posted online in the early morning hours. She claimed to be Scott’s girlfriend’s best friend and said Scott and his girlfriend loved each other so much over the years. However, Anna kept pestering him. Scott had to be with her because he was grateful to her and she had big shots to support her.
The post was completely nonsense. But, netizens were inclined to believe it, and it was all over the Internet.
“We‘ve sent a letter through our lawyers, and we’ve spoken to the court. Reputation infringement lawsuits usually will take a long time. But, if we don’t do anything, we’re going to be in trouble. Scott’s career is just getting started, and it’s not too smooth yet. In any case, his career can’t be ruined.”
Scott said irritably, “Oh, I don’t care about that. I won’t accept your solution even if I quit.” Anna frowned and asked, “What are you talking about? What solution?”
Scott looked at Sam and asked, “Do you dare tell Anna about it?”
Sam scowled at Anna carefully and said, “We thought we’d just go along with it and admit that Scott and Allie were a couple. We’ve been in touch with Allie. She said she’s willing to cooperate and can help you clear up the news.”
“That’s just crazy! I’m not going to agree to that.” Scott said as he rolled his eyes at Sam.
Anna hesitated and asked again, “So, you guys checked with Allie? She’s really willing to help?”
“Yes, she did,” Sam said happily. Scott said anxiously, “Anna, you’re not going to say yes, right?”
Anna gave Scott a long look and said, “Hey, take it easy. I didn’t say anything yet. Maybe we can do it in another way.”
I knew it! Allie is probably the one who planned this. That‘s why she agreed to help Scott and promised that she would solve it. Then, taking care of the matter would be easier once / know who did it. Anna thought
In the evening, Ryan’s voice came over Anna’s headphones, “Her car is here. She’ll be upstairs in about ten minutes. Hide away, and don’t let her find you.”
“Got it.” Anna squeezed the headset. She straightened the mask on her face and rang the doorbell.
Soon, someone opened the door. He asked, “Who is it?”
Anna sized up the man. She noticed that he looked a little like Scott. His hair was brown, and his skin was very fair. He was about six feet tall but not at all masculine, being casually wrapped in a hotel bathrobe and surveying Anna warily.’ |
“I didn’t order a meal.” The man said, frowning. “It’s from the hotel. There’s wine and dinner for two.” “Huh? For each guest?”
“No, of course not. We only give it to people in the VIP rooms.” Anna lowered her voice so nho could make it sound husky and respectful.
Once he heard the word ‘VIP’, the man smiled proudly. He opened the door smugly and said, “Oh, that’s very nice of you. Please come in. Watch your step, don’t step on my stuff.”
Anna pushed the food cart into the room. She was surprised to find a lot of candles and rose petals on the floor. The bedroom door was open a small c***k, and Anna could see a bunch of s*x toys on the bed, including leather whips, blindfolds, and handcuffs.
She was surprised, wondering, Wow! It has never occurred to me that Allie is into these kinds of things.
“Put it here. OK, I think you can leave now.”
“Wait a moment, please. I’ll decant your wine.” Anna snapped back and then brought out the decanters. She surveyed the room calmly.
Then, she pressed the pinhole camera into the vase on the dining table when the man wasn‘t paying attention.
After doing this, she pushed the food cart out of the room.
Shortly after leaving the room, she saw a familiar person walking toward her in the hallway. Even though the woman was wearing sunglasses and a mask, Anna could tell she was an impolite and unreasonable woman.
“Hey, you, wait a minute.” Allie suddenly called out to her.
