“I just heard of him.” Jennie looked at her and asked, “Are you familiar with him?” Anna was stunned again. Why does she suddenly ask such a question? “Well… Yes,” she answered after thinking for a while. “How is he now? I heard that he has a son. Is he married?” Jennie asked.
“He is fine. He does have a son, but he is not married yet. Maybe he will get married soon,” Anna said. Thinking of Matthew, she got into a state of preoccupation.
“Really? How is Old Mr. Wright now? Have you ever seen him?” Jennie asked again.
Anna wrenched her mind back to the present and looked at her suspiciously, “Ms. Wilson, you seem to be very concerned about Mr. Wright and his family…”
With an uneasy look, Jennie said, “Well, I‘m just curious about them. After all, there are many rumors about the Wright family.”
Hearing that, Anna was even more confused.
Just now when I asked her if she wanted to know why I‘m here, she was not curious at all and even said curiosity killed the cat. But now she says that she is curious about the Wright family. It is so weird.
In Wright‘s House, Wayne and Matthew were having dinner with Old Mr. Wright. “I heard that you sent Anna on a business trip,” Old Mr. Wright suddenly said.
Hearing this, Wayne, who was picking up food, paused and glanced at Matthew who was sitting next to Old Mr. Wright.
Matthew then immediately grabbed Old Mr. Wright‘s clothes. At the same time, he stared at Wayne without fear as if saying “Yes, I told grandpa about it. Don‘t look at me like this. I‘m not afraid of you.”
“Grandpa, you are so well informed that you even know such a tulle about the company.” Wayne said expressionlessly
“What do you mean? You‘ve laken over the company and are in charge of it so I have no right to ask about the affairs in the company now?” Old Mi. Wright said with a darkened lace “Anna has a child to take care of. Why did you have to send her on a business trip? You are also a parent Why didn‘t you spare a thought for her?”
Hearing that, Matthew kept nodding approvingly.
Wayne glanced at him and said calmly. “It‘s not only my decision to send Anna to go on a business trip. The other representatives were all unanimous in this decision in the meeting Grandpa, when did you become so familiar with her?”
Anna is really something. She got close to Mathew and made him like her and depend on her companionship. Then she left a good impression on Grandpa and made Grandpa pay more attention to her. Now even Grandpa even speaks for her. But when I doubted her and questioned her, she pretended to be innocent and indifferent and said that she had no feelings for me. What does she want to do?
“Anna is a good girl. Mathew likes her. And I think that she‘s the right person for you. Is there anything wrong with me getting familiar with my future granddaughter–in–law?” Old Mr. Wright said.
“I didn‘t say I would marry her,” Wayne said lukewarmly. His attitude broke the cozy atmosphere in the dining room. “If Mathew wants a mother, there are many ideal choices except for Anna. To be exact, I have never considered marrying Anna. And I don‘t think a single mother like her is good enough to marry into the Wright family.”
When Matthew heard this, his face turned livid with anger.
Old Mr. Wright was also very displeased, “Anna indeed has a child but she is a good person. Anna is not good enough? Then who do you think is good enough? Do you still want to marry the star called Ada who is always involved in various gossip? Perish the thought.”
Wayne put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth slowly, and said coldly, “I‘m full. I don‘t think Mathew wants to go home with me. He‘ll stay here tonight.” After saying that, he left.
“You…” Old Mr. Wright was so angry that he couldn‘t say a word and could only watch Wayne leave.
Besides him, Matthew kept pulling his sleeve anxiously.
Seeing this, Old Mr. Wright held Matthew in his arms and let Matthew sit on his lap.
Then he sighed and said helplessly, “Mathew, it‘s not that I don‘t want to help you. Your father is too stubborn. He has always been like this since he was a child. Once he makes a decision, no one can change his mind.”
Matthew pouted with grievance and was about to cry. “Don‘t cry. I will think of a way. Don‘t cry.” While pacifying Matthew, Old Mr. Wright shouted in the direction of the living room, “Henry, have you found out where Anna is?”
“Yes, Old Mr. Wright” Henry hurried into the dining room, stood straight, and said respectfully, “Miss Gabriel went to Laxis Town on business and she’s staying in a B&B called Maplesugar Hotel.”
“Laxis Town?” Old Mr. Wright frowned and asked, “It sounds familiar,”
Henry hesitated for a moment and reminded him, “Mrs. Wright is there…”
Old Mr. Wright was stunned and frowned more tightly
“The town is big and it’s not likely that she will meet Anna,” Henry said cautiously as if talking about a taboo
“Does Wayne know that she‘s in that place?” Old Mr. Wright asked.
“Judging from the current situation, I don‘t think he knows about it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have developed business there.”
Hearing that, Old Mr. Wright nodded slightly with mixed feelings.
At night, Anna lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling and lost in thought.
Ms. Wilson‘s behavior was so strange when we talked about Carousel Group, especially when she mentioned Wayne. At that time, she looked guilty and her voice was full of concern. She was like a gossiper who was curious about him but like an old friend who had known him for a long time, she wondered.
Besides, she felt that Jennie looked familiar but couldn‘t remember where she had ever met Jennie before.
After thinking about it for a while, she felt sleepy and then fell asleep.
In the following days, Anna checked in at almost all the inns and hotels in Laxis Town one after another to do market research.
Among them, she thought that Maplesugar Hotel was the most impressive and it made people want to live here again.
Before leaving the town, she still couldn‘t persuade Jennie to join Carousel Group and she had to give up. Then she packed her belongings and checked out, preparing to go to Hulf River Town, a town which was three hundred kilometers away from here.
Not long after Anna drove away from Laxis Town, she entered a highway near a remote village.
While she was operating on the navigation system, a black figure suddenly appeared and staggered to the middle of the road.
Seeing this, she hurriedly slammed on the brakes and her face turned pale. Then a squeal of brakes was sounded on the road.
Anna was frightened and broke into a cold sweat. With her hands trembling, she opened the car door and got out of the car. Then she saw a man lying in front of the car unconsciously.
While trying to calm herself down, Anna squatted to check his condition. The man was in rags and dirty-faced, and he seemed to be a tramp. At this moment, his head was bleeding.
Anna called the ambulance immediately. “Hello? Ambulance, please.”
“Ambulance Do you get your bearing?”
