Randal was the president of AW Group, and everyone looked up to him.
Jacob immediately realized what he meant and responded, “I’m sorry, and | should not have allowed this to happen. We had a fight before leaving the house, which is why she said all of this nonsense. I’m really sorry, everybody. I’ll make sure she realizes she’s made a mistake.”
Lillian was about to say something else when Jacob interrupted her and said, “If you say one more word, I’l divorce you tomorrow.”
Hearing that, Lillian had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
Meanwhile, a woman in a yellow dress stood outside the crowd at the time and witnessed everything. She looked around but couldn’t find the person she wanted to see, so she went to the second floor.
Randal became irritated as he looked around at the crowd. He said, “Okay, people, stop watching. This is a personal matter between Jacob and his wife.”’
Everyone gradually left. Scott touched Anna’s hand and noticed it was icy. So, he inquired, “Anna, are you okay?”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Anna said with a sigh of relief.
Randal looked at them as they held hands and said, “Well, go get some rest.”
Scott echoed, “Yeah, there’s a lounge upstairs. Let me walk you there.
Anna immediately withdrew her hand and said, “No, thank you. | can go there by myself. If you see Wayne, please tell him I’m there.”
Scott frowned, then said, “Hey, why is he being a wimp now? Where is. he?”
Randal looked upstairs and said, “Oh, he’s probably in the bathroom. Maybe he didn’t know what was going on here.”
Scott seemed unconcerned, then rolled his eyes and said, “Why was he taking so long to use the restroom? Is there a problem with his, ‘thing’?”
At that time, Wayne had just stepped out of the restroom. The chilly wind from the balcony made him sneeze and feel cold
Then Henry called him, trying to persuade him to reconcile with Pete. So, they talked for a while.
Wayne respected Henry so much that he didn’t say anything to retort Nonetheless, he never returned home.
A girl stepped in front of Wayne as he was about to leave.
The girl was dressed in a pale yellow dress and wore her hair in a bun with a silver crown hairpin. Wayne didn’t like how she was dressed and thought she was childish.
He noticed her because she and Anna both wore the same hairpin. On the other hand, Wayne realized Anna’s outfit was far more classic than this girl’s.
He asked, “What’s wrong?”
The girl gazed at Wayne. She appeared upset when she realized he didn’t recognize her.
“Did you forget about me, Mr. Wright?” she inquired.
“Who are you? Am I supposed to remember who you are?”
“Oh, I’m Rachel! I’m Allie’s cousin!”
Wayne gave the girl a calm look. He remembered her, but he had a negative impression of her.
He remembered Rachel yelling at Anna when he arrived at Gabriel’s group to take the job.
He frowned and repeated his previous question, “What’s wrong?” Rachel’s face turned bright red as Wayne was indifferent toward her. However, she felt she couldn’t lose her cool, so she said as calmly as possible, “Well, I’d like to speak with you about Anna. | believe you should be very interested in this.”
Wayne said, “I don’t think I should waste my time on you.”
Rachel immediately shouted at him and said, “Wait! | want to tell you What men Anna has slept with, Do you believe she would voluntarily tell you something like this? Don’t let her fool you, Mr. Wright.”
Wayne froze, then glared at Rachel grimly and asked, “What are you talking about?”
‘•Lillian just told me that Anna had group s*x with a bunch of guys on her 18th birthday. Gee, what a slut! She should be despised, but not cherished. Don’t be a fool! Aren’t you concerned that people will gossip about you?”
Wayne looked even more gloomy. He quickly grabbed Rachel’s arm and dragged her into the adjacent lounge.
Rachel struggled in terror, then stepped on her dress’s ribbon and collapsed on the sofa.
“What are you trying to do?” she yelled.
Wayne stood perfectly still, his hands propped on the sides of the couch.
“Hey, what do you want to do?” she mumbled
Wayne sneered and said contemptuously, “If you say that again, I’ll make people despise you.”
Rachel’s heart even paused when she heard his words. She was just shy at first, and then she became terrified. She felt a chill running down her spine and realized for the first time that what everyone said about Wayne being ruthless was true.
Rachel had been spoiled by her family since she was a child, so she Was extremely obstinate. She was terrified, but she was determined to keep her self-esteem intact.
She stated, “I’m telling you the truth! You can go ask someone else if you don’t believe me.”
Wayne still glared at her and then said grimly, as if possessed by a demon, “Do you want to be mute for the rest of your life? | hate women Who like to spread rumors the most.”
While they were talking, Anna was looking for a lounge on the second floor. She went straight to a room in the distance with the words “VIP Lounge” written on the door.
Someone opened the door to the room as soon as she took two steps.
Rachel then bolted from the room with her hands covering her chest. Her hair was a mess, and her expression was terrified.
Anna didn’t get along with Rachel, so she didn’t want to talk to her. However, because Rachel was an employee of her company, she felt she should be responsible for the girl.
Anna asked, “Hey, what’s wrong? You seem…”
Rachel ran away before Anna could finish her sentence.
When Anna looked up, she noticed Wayne trying to leave the lounge. His flat suit had a few visible creases that reminded her of Rachel’s messy hair.
“What are you doing here?” she asked, her heart skipping a beat.
“Oh, | just came out of the bathroom to take a break.”
Anna pointed to Rachel’s back, then asked suspiciously, “So, how about Rachel? Are you guys resting in the lounge together?”
Wayne explained calmly, “This lounge is open to the public, so anyone is welcome to use it. Don’t misunderstand me.”
Anna exhaled deeply and stated, “Okay, | didn’t misunderstand you. | know you well enough to know you won’t be sitting in here alone with her. Isn’t there some reason for this? Can you tell me what you were talking about?”
Wayne was never alone with a woman, Anna knew, to keep rumors about him at bay. As a result, he never had any scandals. However, Anna felt there was no way Wayne would change his habits for Rachel.
When Anna saw Rachel running out of the lounge, she didn’t pay attention because she assumed they had just walked in. When Anna noticed Wayne’s attitude, she tried to persuade him to clear the air.
Wayne continued calmly, “| have nothing to explain. Nothing happened.”
Anna was suddenly disappointed in Wayne and said, “Did you notice how messy she looked? You two didn’t do anything just now? I’m sure | wasn’t the only one who noticed her. You don’t want to explain anything to. me, do you? Aren’t you worried about what people might say something about you two?”
“I don’t care what other people think.”
Anna was absolutely devastated. Lillian had just humiliated her in public, which made her want to disappear from the world. However, she didn’t anticipate Wayne humiliating her as well.
Anna said, “Could you please put yourself in my shoes, Wayne? You can’t take it when | look at another man. A beautiful girl just ran out of this room, and she looked like a mess. Meanwhile, you walked out of the room as well. Are you sure you don’t want to explain it to me?” Wayne remained silent. He didn’t want to explain to her because he didn’t want to say the horrible things Rachel had just said to him. He remained silent because he did not want to lie to Anna either.
Anna clutched her dress tightly, then said thoughtfully, “You don’t want to explain yourself, do you? Well, there’s nothing else | have to say to you.”
