It was a red light again, and they had to wait for one more minute.The driver was not in a hurry at all. "Is she not breathing at all?"The other crew member placed his finger under Anne's nostrils. "I cannot… I cannot feel her breathing anymore. What should we do?""This is an emergency. Can we not care so much about other people? If she dies, we cannot bear the consequences!" "Exactly. Plus, she is an employee of the Marwood Group. We cannot afford the interrogation after that!"The driver replied casually, "What does this have to do with us? We did send her to the hospital. She just did not make it in time. I am trying my best to make it quick already, but this is the traffic light."The crew member was nervous. "How far are we?""Let me see…" The driver pulled out his phone. "Half an hour more."They would probably not be able to make it under even forty minutes, judging by the driver's driving skills. Anne's condition could not wait. The crew members exchanged a lo
She would have to wait until the next day to be discharged.After that, she called the nanny, saying that she worked overtime and could not go home on time. She did not want the kids to worry. After hanging up, the door opened unexpectedly. Bianca appeared condescendingly. "I thought it was very serious, but it seems that you are just fine.""You seem disappointed?" Anne ignored her and played on her phone."Disappointed? Don't you forget, I was kind enough to let my driver send you to the hospital.""Were you touched by yourself?" Anne looked at her. "Planted seafood in my lunch and then pretended to get your driver to send me when you actually intended to make sure I die along the way. If Tommy did not appear on time, your wish would have been fulfilled."Bianca snickered. She did not deny it. Her eyes only had the anger of defeat. "You could get away this time, but not every time. This will be your consequence for staying in Luton!""I am just thinking if Anthony knew ab
She recovered swiftly and was soon discharged from the hospital.She stood outside the hospital and contemplated if she should head home by taxi or subway. Her lower abdomen was still hurting, and there was a distance from the subway station. However, a taxi would cost far too much.Anne was instantly overcome by sorrow at the realization that she lived a pathetic life where she needed to act so cautiously over spending a few more bucks.When she thought of the fact that she could spend the money on buying snacks for the children, she white-knuckled through the pain and headed toward the subway station slowly.It was barely noon by the time she arrived home, so she returned to her room to rest and made herself some soup when she started to feel hungry. After taking her medication, she went back to bed to rest.Anne placed her palm on her stomach while lying on the bed and thought to herself, 'The blood clog has been removed, so why does it still hurt? Did they leave something in t
By nine, they all went to bed.Anne was not in a hurry to head back to work because the entire office knew about what had happened to her, so she had no issue with staying home on leaves.Though she did not think that Anthony would come to visit her, she still kept an eye on his location using her phone all the time.Xander called her from time to time to check on her. Eventually, Anne could not keep pretending that she had not recovered any longer, so she headed to the office to check how much she would get as compensation for her injury.Xander returned in the afternoon after a visit to the tax office and spotted Anne right away. "You came back? Are you okay?""Still a little weak, but it won't affect my work," she said and followed him into his office. "Director, do you have time now?""I'm free for now. I happen to have something that I want to discuss with you. I am going to Archduke Group to report the latest update in the Marwood Group. You are going to come along."Anne
The careless expression on Bianca's face slowly transformed into a panicked one as she turned to look at Anthony.Anne turned the recording off and put her phone back into her pocket as she enjoyed Bianca's frantic state, knowing that Bianca must not have expected her to record their conversation.She happened to have her phone in hand when Bianca entered her room in the hospital at the time, so she decided to record them.Taken by surprise, Bianca immediately tried to explain herself to Anthony. "I didn't do it. I just didn't deny it. Anthony, you need to believe me. You know who I am better than anyone."Xander, who remained standing on the side, adjusted his spectacles and held his breath at the cold, intimidating aura oozing off of Anthony."Anne provoked me into saying those things. She is framing me." Bianca put on a victim's face, which anyone would admit that she seemed innocent on the outside.To Anne, however, everything about Bianca looked fake."Of course, I trust yo
However, she immediately recovered. "Do you think it will really help you even if you record me? Anthony said he believed me, so save it! You don't know me and what my family means to Anthony. You sure are daring to try and move against me!""You are out of line. You were the one who slipped seafood into my food, and now it's my fault? Bianca, haven't your family taught you what it means to respect others?" Anne mocked."Who are you to comment on my family? I'm telling you this now, Anne, this is not over! We will see who wins in the end!" Bianca hung up with a twisted smile on her face.Anne had not found out that there was a deformed child growing inside of her, and Bianca looked forward to the day she found out.Anne put her phone away and thought to herself, 'What a crazy woman!'A honk startled her, and she turned to see Xander's car, so she hurried down the stairs and opened the car door to get inside."Why are you still here, Director?" She buckled up."We came together,
The end of each month was often the busiest time for the finance department, and everyone had been working overtime for days in a row."Ah! It's finally done! We finally don't need to work overtime tomorrow!""The end of each month is hellish!""I'm so tired."Everyone leaned against their desks in exhaustion when Xander came out of his office and asked, "It's still nine, so is anyone interested in having a gathering?""Yes!" The others who had been lying down like corpses instantly stood up energetically.Their shouts startled Anne.'I thought they said they were exhausted? Are they sure?' she thought to herself.Anne did not want to join the gathering and desperately wanted to go home for a shower, but before she could say anything, Xander said, "Anne, I've sent you the address. Half of them are going with you, and half will follow me."Excited, the others immediately pulled Anne onto her feet. "Let's go!"Anne complied with resignation.A gathering had to be lively, and s
Anthony's expression darkened. "Didn't you lie here so that someone would come to touch you?"She widened her eyes in disbelief as she wondered if the man before her was mentally ill. "I was just taking a break."She could tell that Anthony had had quite a few to drink as well, but then again, it was only natural for one to drink when they were at a bar."Who's Charlie?" He questioned darkly, "Another guy?"Her heart almost stopped when she heard Anthony mentioning Charlie's name, terrified that she might have let it slip in her sleep."Um..."Anne was about to explain when Xander walked over to them and said, "You are here, too, Mr. Marwood? What a coincidence. Our department is having a gathering here as well."Anthony shot him a cold look before looking away from Anne and walking into the gentlemen's room.Xander tensed at the chilling glare he received and realized he had approached them at the wrong time.Anne frowned and pouted at the fact that despite not seeing Anthony
