Chapter 190 – After the One-Night Stand with a Heartless Billionaire

Selina held her hand tightly. Then she opened the door of the room and led Anna walk past the crowd that had been blocking the doorway

“Frank, what are you doing? Why don’t you ask your daughter come in and take a seat? But, you let a bunch of poor relatives from

God knows where to keep you company.”

Everyone in the ward changed their expressions and stopped talking.

Allie said irritably, “Anna, what are you doing? Who is this woman? if you let her scare Father, I…”

“It’s not your turn to talk.” Selina glanced at Allie with contempt.

“Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that! You’re such a shrew! I’m telling you…”

Before Allie could finish her sentence, she heard a crisp sound. Then, she realized that Selina had just slapped her on the face.

This was the second time this month she had been slapped. So, Allie was extremely shocked and didn’t came to her senses for a while,

“Selina Miller, why did you hit my daughter?!”

Shirley immediately stood in front of her daughter, and was afraid that Selina would do it again.

Selina sneered and said, “Oh, so you still remember what my name is. Well, I guess that you must have remembered the night of

I wenty five years ago! Do you remember how I made you kneel in front of Olivia’s grave for the whole night and slapped you for more than two hundred time57″

The moment they heard this, almost everyone in the ward gasped in surprise.

More than two hundred slaps? That must have ruined her face! Anna thought to herself.

It was the first time Anma had heard about this, so she looked at Shirley in disbelief. Shirley had an embarrassed expression and looked ashamed. She couldn’t say anything, but just writted her teeth and looked to the side.

Frank was sitting on the edge of the bed. He was no longer wearing a hospital gown, but a shirt and beige pants. When he saw Anna and Selina, he had an embarassed expression on his pale face.

“Selina, it’s been so long, why do you have to…”

Selina said even more aloofly, “Oh no, you’re not qualified to call me by my name. Maybe you can just call me Ms. Miller. Anyway, I came here today just to ask you a question. Are you really going home with them? Don’t you have anything to say to Anna?”

Frank frowned and said, “I already thanked Anna.”

Selina snickered and asked, “Thanked her? Anna took care of you in the hospital for a month, and she didn’t even have time to come home. Do you think your ‘thank you’ is enough? You really are a shrewd businessman, and you always want make a profit. If you want to leave the hospital, aren’t you going to ask about your daughter’s opinion?”

Hearing her words, Allie asked irritably, “What? What are you trying to say? Do you want my father to give her money? I get it, you just want money. Stop pretending to be noble!”

“Shut your filthy mouth!” Selina glanced at Allie. Her gaze made Shirley feel frightened, so she immediately told her daughter to shut up.

After a while, Frank took a deep breath and said, “Ms. Miller, you’d better stay out of our business.”

Selina didn’t seem surprised as if she had known he would say that. However, her expression was even more indifferent.

She said, “You want me to stay out of your family’s business? Fine, I happen to be not interested in it. But, I want to know that since you won’t live long, how will you deal with your money? How much money are you going to give Anna? Anna is a bit embarrassed to ask for money, just like her mom. So, as her aunt, i’ll ask you for her.”

When Olivia died twenty-five years ago, Selina lost all her expectations of Frank. She felt that he was an irresponsible man who abandoned his wife. However, she thought that Anna should get the money she deserved as his daughter. If Olivia hadn’t given Frank the money, he wouldn’t have been able to start his own company.

At that moment, the room was quiet. Everyone was concerned about what Frank would do with his money and property because it would determine how much they would get. Among them, Shirley and Allie were the most concerned about this issue.

“I’ve already given Anna what she deserves,” Frank said sorrowfully.

“Dad, what did you give her?” Allie blurted out and looked impatient.

Frank looked up at her with a cold gaze. He said, “I gave Lemon Clothing Company to Anna.”

“Lemon?” said Allie, who didn’t even know there was such a company in the group. When she was about to ask more questions,

Shirley tugged her and told her to shut up.

Only she knew that Frank kept that company because he wanted to keep it as a memento for Olivia. However, this company was doing very poorly and was barely surviving on the money given by the head office. If Frank gave this company to Anna, it could save them big trouble.

Anna took Selina’s hand and said, “Auntie, it’s okay. This is my mother’s company, and I really like it. That’s the only thing I want.

Okay, let’s go.”

Selina frowned after hearing her words and finally said, “Fine.”

Before leaving, Anna looked at Frank and said, “Bye, Dad. I hope you can be happy and healthy every day.”

Frank didn’t look up at her but kept his head down in thought. If Anna had looked closely at him, she would have seen that his eyes were red and looked very depressed.

Anna and Selina then walked out of the hospital, and neither mentioned what had just happened.

“Selina, what brings you to the hospital?” Anna asked.

“Oh, I came to get my medicine, but my doctor wasn’t there. I just happened to hear that your father was staying in the hospital. I was going to mock him, but I have no idea he was leaving today.”

Anna smiled and asked, “Really? What a coincidence! But, who dares to mention my father in front of you?”

Anna thought to herself, il Selina hadn‘t asked about it, who would have dared to mention my dad in front of her? There‘s no such thing as a coincidence in this world. But, some people just love to arrange “coincidences

Setina glared at her and said, “Okay, let’s not talk about ine. Tell me, why do you only want that crappy company?”

“Oh, because it’s my mom’s company! It’s the only thing that means a lot to me.”

Selina saldimtably, “What? I hope you’re joking with me, Anna. Howinuch does that so called ‘meaning’ worth? You and your mother ateso alike, and she’s so into this kind of shallow stuff. Have you ever thought about what will happen if you let this company go under”

“Tell me, how did my mother start the company then? Did she have a good beginning?”

Selina bristled and said, “Of course not to be honest, she was totally not built for doing business. “

“At that time, your grandfather often helped her with that. But she just wanted to give the money to your father! Your grandfather didn’t agree on your parents’ marriage. So, your mother held a grudge against him. Later on, you were born.”

Then Selina stopped talking, feeling upset and remorseful. She had experienced the pain of someone she knew dying in front of her, so she had a complicated feeling.

Anna was born prematurely. And Olivia bled heavily just as she got out of the hospital room, and the doctors failed to save her. So,

Olivia died in the arms of her best friend, Selina. At that time, Selina was already married to her brother.

Olivia died so suddenly that she didn’t even see her father one last time.

So, it became Anna’s grandfather’s biggest trauma. He had a total of three children, and he loved his youngest daughter Olivia the most. She was only in her twenties when she died.

Anna’s grandfather was healthy before Olivia’s death. However, after Olivia’s death, he got sick because of his grief. Later, he could no longer take care of Anna, who was still a child. And not long after that, he died.

When Olivia died, Selina was already pregnant for more than two months. She and Joe tried for so long and she finally conceived, and she didn’t even tell her family the news. However, the baby was miscarried because she was shocked by Olivia’s death. After that, she was never able to have another child.

And the tragedies that happened to three families were all caused by Frank, who was so busy cheating on Olivia at that time that it took him a long time to notice it.

It was not until hearing Selina’s words that Anna understood the friendship between Selina and her mother many years later.

The chef of Gabriel’s house prepared a sumptuous lunch for Frank to welcome him home. The delicious aroma of the meal was all over the villa.
