Chapter 186 – After the One-Night Stand with a Heartless Billionaire

“Is that so? Is this what you want to tell me?”

“Oh, no, of course not. Although I’m not quite sure why you broke up, I think I need to tell you something about Hanna. Otherwise, you might feel deceived and hate our whole family.”

Allie looked at Wayne and asked, “Do you know why my sister went to America back then?”

“Back then, when she went to a nightclub one day, she got drunk, slept with a man, and got knocked up. She gave birth to her daughter without knowing who the father was. And she left for America without even telling us just to keep it as a secret. Also, she stayed there for six years!”

“She didn’t even call us once. You know, at that time, Anna didn’t graduate from college and didn’t have a job. But, she was living very comfortably there. So, you can imagine why.” Allie said viciously.

Wayne became discontent. He asked, “So, why should I believe you?”

“Oh, of course you may not believe me. But you can absolutely check this thing out yourself. She was a medical student at a good university, so she could have had a perfect job and a promising future. But why did she leave in such a hurry? Yet, if she was doing so well in America, why did she come back? Well, I guess it was because the person who gave her money there broke up with her. She didn’t have any money, so she came back here to ask us for money. Wayne, she’s not as perfect and noble as you think.”

Wayne stood up, straightened his cuffs, and said coldly, “What do you mean by that? I get it. Maybe, you don’t want me to help her. So, you can get all the money of your family. I know what you want to do, and I won’t listen to your bullshit anymore. You’ve already wasted ten minutes of my life, and that’s enough.”

He then walked away.

Looking at Wayne’s back, Allie’s expression was extremely embarrassed. After a while, she finally came back to her senses. She sneered and thought, Wayne would definitely look into that after listening to my words. Then, he would find out that I was telling the truth.

It was true that Anna was pregnant at that time, and the proof was Tammy, a five-year girl. It was also true that she went to America without telling anyone why, and the whole Gabriel family knew about it. Allie checked whether Anna depended on any man in America, but she couldn’t find anything because Anna’s profile had been revised. However, she knew she could solve everything with money and know everything through the Internet.

Allie thought, As soon as Wayne finds out about Jasper Thomas, he would know everything. Although it‘s a little difficult for me to get my dad‘s money, I will definitely get it all.

Frank was in a coma for a week before he woke up. At that time, the hospital had moved him to a general ward.

Since Anna had quit her job, she had nothing to do. So, she visited Frank every day at the hospital. Whenever Tammy didn’t need to go to swimming lessons on weekends, she would bring her there, too.

“Come here, honey, let me see you.” Frank waved toward Tammy, looking very amiable.

Anna was peeling an apple at that moment. She handed Tammy a slice of apple and said, “Honey, give this to your grandpa.”

Tammy smiled and nodded. She walked to Frank with that slice of apple, and said in a sweet voice, “Grandpa, have some apple. It’s sweet.”

Frank laughed cheerfully and said, “Well, thank you, honey. The apple you gave me must be very delicious.”

Tammy winked, smiled, and said, “Yes, that’s what my mother said! It seems that I have magical fingers!”

Anna smiled as she felt resigned. She said, “Okay, honey, have some of these too. Maybe you should stop talking now, because grandpa needs some rest.”

Frank Shook his head and said, “That’s okay, Anna. I’d love to talk to Tammy. It seems like this surgery was quite worth it because I

A to spend more uime with you two.”

frowned and said, “Hey. Dad, don’t say that.”

“Well, let’s not talk about that. You haven’t had a good rest for few days, have you? Anna, I’m feeling much better now. So, you’d betu yp troine tonight and have a good sleep. Or, you may be lired when you go to work tomorrow.”

“Dad, it’s okay. I’ve quit my job, and I don’t know where I should work next.” Anna came right out with the truth.

Frank froze at her words and asked, “You quit? Really? Tell me, what happened? Oh, I see. Did you have a fight with Wayne?”

Anna took a deep breath and said, “Oh, no, it had nothing to do with him. Forget it, Dad, I don’t want to talk about it right now. I can take care of my own affairs, don’t worry. Anyway, I think you should get some rest now.”

“Oh, you know, young couples right all the time. Anna, just make sure to treat him fairly, okay?”

Frank told her to back off as if he was worried about something.

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted Frank.

“Who is it?” Anna asked, then opened the door. She saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing in front of her.

“Mr. Anderson, hi,” she greeted that man.

Albert Anderson was Frank’s legal advisor. He had come to the hospital several times recently to talk to Frank about the company’s shares. Every time they talked, they didn’t mind that Anna was present. But Anna felt it was inappropriate for her to listen, so she left each time they talked voluntarily.

Anna said and waved to Tammy, “Well, we’ll give you some privacy. Come on, Tammy, Grandpa has to work. Let’s go!”

“Bye, Grandpa.” Tammy politely said goodbye to Frank and waved to Albert. Then, she followed Anna out of the ward.

The ward then became quiet.

Albert smiled and said, “Mr. Gabriel, Anna’s daughter is so cute and looks just like her.”

“Yes, she looks exactly like Anna,” Frank said and signed.

He then looked down for a few seconds of silence and said, “Well, let’s get down to business.”

Albert spread out the papers he brought on the table and said, “I have finished putting in five hundred million dollars as you requested. Also, I have revised your will according to your request. I just want to make sure whether you want to give all your real estate to Shirley.”

“Yeah,” Frank nodded his head with some difficulty.

Frank was only in his fifties; however, he already looked like a dying old man. His eyes were murky and dim, as if he had lost all hope for life.

“Yes, that’s it. I hope you can read this will in front of Allie and my wife after I die.”

“Believe me, I will. But, I think you should cheer up. I heard the doctor say that they can stabilize your disease. So, you need to let them treat you well and stay optimistic,” Albert advised.

Frank nodded and said, “Thanks, I will. And, I want to spend more time with my granddaughter and daughter with the time I have left.”

“I have lived for half a century. Well, I didn’t expect my youngest daughter, who’s a bit alienated from me, to be by my side at the end of my life. Allie and her mom are now plotting to take my company. Then, I’ll do what they want and let them have it,” Frank thought to himself.

It was getting late at night, and the streets were gradually illuminated with neon lights that brought a prosperous and joyful atmosphere to Burungham.

On the rooftop of a four-story villa, the chilly evening breeze lifted the hem of a man’s silk nightgown. There was a glass in his hand, and the red wine inside was shaking. The scarlet liquid looked like an abyss that carried endless loneliness. It looked as though there was going to be a heavy rainstorm.

Gabe called Wayne and said, “Mr. Wright, I’ve checked it out. As I said before, Miss Gabriel’s profile was indeed changed. In fact, she did name once in Amen, and it was just in the same year she went there. She was married to an Englishman named Jasper Thomas, and…”

“And what’s going on?” Wayne urged.

“And, the marriage is valid to this day. Mr. Wright, she’s not divorced now. I’ve emailed you everything I’ve found out, and you can…”

Wayne clicked on the email he received from Gabe, and then saw some photos. The first photo was a marriage certificate with two signatures with the date on the bottom, and the second one was a current marriage status of a U.S. citizen. Also, there were some family photos.

There was a resume attached, and it belonged to a man called Jasper Thomas.

He graduated from Yale University and became a famous designer. Also, it only took him three years to take his startup clothing company public. Later, he was the head of a Fortune 500 listed group. It was an impressive resume.

Even Wayne had to admit that this man was very outstanding. But, what upset Wayne was that Anna and Jasper were together before Jasper became successful. They married in the United States on Valentine’s Day four years ago.

Wayne couldn’t find any other reason why she married this man except the fact that they loved each other.

And, to this day, they hadn’t divorced.

The room was terribly quiet, and Wayne could hear the water dripping from the bathroom faucet.

After a long time, there was a loud “bang” in the room. The large computer smashed on the floor with a huge noise.

Immediately afterwards, the computer was covered by various dark-coloured folders and thick books. The red wine glass was smashed on the wall, leaving a blood-red mark there. The broken pieces of the glass fell in the corner and shone a cold, saint light.
