Ryan wanted to rush forward and punch William, but Jennie stopped him again. She said, “Tell me, what do you want from me? | don’t have anything but this hotel. Besides, I’m no longer a Wright.”
William then said, “I want $5,000,000, and | don’t care if you’re a Wright or not. | expect you to give me the money within a week.”
Jennie’s eyes widened in surprise at what she had just heard. She asked, “Are you insane?! | don’t have that much money!”
William smoked a cigarette, then turned to Jennie and said, “Whatever. But if you can’t give me the money, I’ll go visit my son. | don’t have any money, so he’ll definitely give me some. Because, you know, I’m his father.”
340 Ryan Was Taken Away
As soon as William finished speaking, Ryan lifted a chair and threw it at William, shouting, “Fuck you! You wish!”
He moved so quickly that Jennie didn’t even have the time to react. The chair hit William and fell to the floor with a loud clang, waking almost all the guests. In disbelief, everyone opened their eyes. Someone yelled as they opened the door, “What the hell is going on? It’s late at night!”
Then a bunch of bulky men smashed the glass door with a steel pipe. Terrified, the receptionist ducked under the counter, and the guests who had gone out to see what was going on ran screaming back to their rooms. After that, the bulky men beat the hell out of Ryan and captured him.
Seeing that, Jennie yanked on William’s shirt and yelled hysterically, “What the hell are you doing?! Let go of Ryan!”
William covered his bleeding head wound with a towel in his left hand. He shook Jennie off harshly before saying, “Jennie, | was planning to have a nice conversation with you, but I don’t think it’s necessary right now. How about letting your son stay with me for a few days? I’d like you to send me the money in a week. But if you don’t give me the money, | might hurt him.”
Jennie clenched her teeth and yelled, “You’re such a jerk!”
William was used to hearing her say that. He sneered, then said, “Yes, Ihave always been a jerk.” He then led Ryan away with the other men. They smashed everything before leaving, completely destroying the hotel. 340 Ryan Was Taken Away:
Because there was a traffic jam on the road in the morning, Anna arrived at Lemon around noon. The company had only recently opened, so there wasn’t much financial work. She’d come to give everyone more time off.
Anna entered the office and declared, “You guys have been doing really well lately. So I’ll give you all some more time off.”
Hearing that, everyone cheered with joy. Someone asked, “Really? How long is it?”
Anna smiled and said, “About two weeks. You haven’t had enough rest for the New Year, have you? | think you are all drained. So, I’m going to give you all some more time off to rest. When you come back, | hope you’ll put all of your energy to work.”
“Of course, we’ll do our best,” one of the employees said. Following that, everyone thanked Anna, making the office full of joy.
“The break begins next week,” Anna said,
“Don’t forget to complete the tasks at hand.” Andrew said, and he did not appear to be happy.
Everyone immediately shut up at his words, returned to their desks, and started working.
On the way back to the office, Anna said to Andrew, “Andrew, | think you’re more of a boss of this company than | am. How about I sell this company to you?”
“No, I’m not interested in being the boss. | don’t want to do anything else but design. Even if you give me the company for free, | won’t take it,” Andrew replied
Anna laughed and patted him on the shoulder, saying, “No. | was just joking! | won’t give you the company for free.” 340 Ryan Was Taken Away
“Then why did you give the Gabriel Group to the Carousel Group?” Andrew asked.
“What? You know about this?” Anna asked, frozen.
“Actually, almost everyone in town knows that his group is buying the
Gabriel Group”
With her brows raised, Anna asked, “Do you think it’s a mistake?”
Andrew shook his head and said, “I don’t have a problem with that But | think if you want to make Lemon better, | believe you should buy the Gabriel Group and become the biggest shareholder. That would save Wayne the effort of merging.’’
Anna sat at her desk and smiled, replying, “No, | don’t believe that would be good for me. There are a lot of things that don’t make sense within the Gabriel Group. I’d worked there before and had Wayne help me, but I was still exhausted. So, | think it’s important to take everything slowly. | can’t take on such a large task all of a sudden.”
Andrew said nothing more after realizing she had made her decision. He handed Anna the papers and said, “So, whatever. Sign here, and then you can relax and plan your wedding.”
Somewhat nervously, Anna said, “I don’t need to do anything for the wedding, I’ve been considering visiting Laxis Town recently. Could you please keep this from Wayne for me?”
Andrew had never gotten along with Wayne, so he agreed quickly, saying, “Don’t worry about it.”
Since Jennie and Ryan had left the hospital, Anna hadn’t spoken to Ryan. She had called him several times, but he had never returned her calls. Anna visited his school and was relieved to know that he had finished his final exams. However, she was still worried about him.
She had a feeling that Jennie must have been hiding something from 340 Ryan Was Taken Away her. And Ryan certainly had every reason to prove that James was his father.
Then Anna suddenly recalled the words Ryan had said to Wayne at the hospital door, “You’re going to regret this one day.” She was terrified every time she thought about it because she thought it was more of a reminder than a warning to Wayne.
In the evening, Anna had just arrived home when she was taken aback by what she saw. She noticed Wayne standing on a folding ladder with several small pink wind chimes taped to the ceiling of his bedroom door.
Anna approached him, tilted her head to look at him, and said, “Wayne, you only need to add a few decorations. You don’t have to do that.”
By that point, Wayne had finished decorating. He came down the ladder and clapped his hands, “Karl has shown me so many videos of other people’s weddings, and | see all of these lovely decorations in the homes of those brides. There were wind chimes, candles, balloons, and other decorations. I’ll go to the supermarket after that and get us some pretty balloons, dear.”
Anna immediately smiled and wrapped her arms around Wayne’s waist. She followed him from the bedroom door to the kitchen, saying, “I’m so lucky to have you! You’re such a wonderful groom-to-be!”
Wayne washed his hands as he said, “I’m only doing this because standing on a ladder is dangerous. Can you make other decorations by yourself? “
Anna blinked and said, “Sorry, can’t. | haven’t had the time for it recently.”
“Why? Have you been busy at work lately?” 340 Ryan Was Taken Away
Anna lowered her head and said, “Yeah, I’m really busy because | have to do the liquidation thing. I’ve been working overtime recently, so | may not be able to see you during the day.”
“Then I’ll wait for you at home in the evening.”
“No, you don’t have to. Auntie Selina told me that we could not stay together until we get married. Otherwise, we’ll have bad luck. So, you’d better go back to your house tonight.”
“We just can’t see each other the night before the wedding,” Wayne grumbled
Anna took his hand and said, “No, | still don’t feel good about it. | don’t want to be apart from you, but it’s the tradition, so we should just follow it.”
But still, she hadn’t convinced Wayne. Finally, Anna pursed her lips and then played her trump card by gently twisting her waist, shaking his hand and saying, “Wayne, my darling. Please…”
