Return Of The Forsaken Madam chapter 143
“Who sent you, Anna?” Cohen asked again and after a long stare into his face, Anna sluggishly shook her head, giving the same response. “Sir, no one sent me. I don’t know what you are talking about.” Anna let out.“Are you sure you don’t really know?” Cohen said. He scoffed and, as he opened his mouth to say another word, a call came into his phone. He stood on his feet and accepted the call.“Yes, ask a staff member to lead you to the president’s office.” Cohen informed. He hung up the call and reported. “It’s Mara. they are here already.”“Good,” Bastian nodded. He stared at Anna, saying, “you refused to grab your opportunity and the officers are here already. Seems you will go with them and discuss the rest at their station.”Anna grabbed Bastian’s leg. “Sir, you can’t let them take me away. I know nothing about it. Believe me, sir.” She said, with more tears flooding out of her eyes.Bastian bent over and gently took Anna’s hand off his leg. “If you know nothing about it, then you

A sergeant escorted Anna into the interrogation. He took a few steps ahead of her and drew a chair backward for her. “Have your seat, please.” He offered.Anna slightly bent her neck. She paced to the chair and sat down.Mara entered the room. She faced the junior sergeant and curtsied her head. “Thank you.” She let out.The junior sergeant bowed her head and walked out.Mara walked to the seat opposite to Anna with a table between them. She drew the chair back a little and sat comfortably on it. “Do you need anything? Water to calm yourself.” She asked in a caring tone.Anna sluggishly nodded. “No, I am fine.” She rejected.“Okay,” Mara said. She nodded and opened the file on the table. She skimmed a few pages from the file and looked up at Anna’s face, encouraging, “don’t let us drag this interrogation. Okay? Just tell the truth. Tell me everything you know. Okay?”Anna nodded, comprehending, “Okay.” she responded.“Don’t be nervous, just give an honest answer.” Mara advised, and An

“If you tell the truth, I will release you. But if you don’t, I know but won’t say what will become of you.” Mara threatened.“Let me just tell you the truth…” Anna said. She cast her face downward and exhaled deeply, squeezing her hand on her thighs. She lifted her face and explained. “Actually, I shouldn’t reveal this secret, but I have no option because I may end up in another trouble if the person ever finds out I say a word about this.”“Don’t worry, you have my words and I will make sure nothing happens to you. I will provide enough security to protect you.” Mara promised.“The person I was speaking with yesterday was a loan shark…” Anna disclosed, and Mara interrupted, making a shocked tone.“Hun!”Anna tightened her lips, furthering, “it was a gang leader, who my father owed a huge amount of money before his death and after he died in a car accident, I have been struggling to repay the debt, but I still don’t have enough despite working for years,”Narrating her sad story, a d

“What are you talking about, please?” Anna asked, her eyes furrowed in confusion.Mara stood on her feet, closing the file on the table with a smile on her face. “Stop pretending you don’t understand what I am talking about, Anna. stand up and follow me to bail you out of here. The fees have been paid,” she let out. She placed her hand on the file and sighed down. “If Cohen or the vice president asked, you know nothing about it. That’s the answer I will give.”“I don’t know what you are talking about. I have no secret boss. I am not working for anyone, so I don’t expect anyone to bail me. Maybe you must have made a mistake.” Anna made a point, still frowning her face confused.Mara blew a heavy air through her mouth. She placed her hands on the table and sat down, tired. “I am sorry, Anna. the call and everything I said was fake,” she disclosed. “I acted like that, thinking you would fall for it.”Anna wore a pitiful look, sluggishly shaking her head. “I told you I know nothing about

“Okay.” Cohen said and ended the call. He received a call from Bastian immediately as he stepped into the compound, informing him about Mara’s report on Anna’s interrogation session.Cohen returned his phone back to his pocket. He brushed his hand through his face and discharged a soft breath through his mouth before he paced into the mansion.The doors creak announced Cohen’s arrival and Elsie, and Charlotte, who were having a discussion about Williams’s sickness in the sitting room, glanced backward and seeing Cohen, their eyes widened.“Hun!” A surprised tone escaped their mouth.Elsie quickly stood on her feet. “Cohen?!” She called with the transparency of disbelief in her questioning tone. She furrowed her face, confused, and took a step forward. “Why are you home? Didn’t you go with Patricia again?”Cohen didn’t give a response, causing his mother and Elsie to get more worried, but his mother was still sitting with her gaze fixed on him and her mouth kept ajar.Elsie walked to C

Ailee rushed into Bastian’s office, holding an iPad in her hands. She arrived in front of him, and with a worried expression and tone, she let out. “Sir, there is a problem…”“A big one, sir.” She added. Bastian was pressing his phone and was about to dial a number before Ailee entered, and her stride manner made him stopped and seeing the expression on her face and her tone, he quickly placed the phone beside him on the sofa. “What’s it?” He asked with the same expression as her.Ailee stretched the iPad, and Bastian collected it from her, asking, “what’s this?”“The sales rate suddenly decreased, and we have lost forty percent profit within thirty minutes.” She disclosed.Her announcement made his eyes widened in disbelief and his mouth widely opened even though he couldn’t pull out a word. He looked at the phone screen and after reading the customer’s reviews and the sale report in the past minutes, his hand began to shake.The iPad fell from his hand, but Ailee grabbed it before

Anna's and Ailee’s phone beeped, and they quickly checked their phone. Their eyes widened, and they raised their gaze to look at Bastian’s face in the same manner and with the same expression on their face.Bastian looked at their faces one after the other. “What’s it?” He threw a question.“I think there is another problem…” Ailee uttered and Anna backed her up, adding, “the board of directors is requested for an emergency meeting.”“Hun?!” Bastian exclaimed. He stared at Anna, directing a question at her. “Why an emergency meeting? Did they state their reasons? What’s their reasons.”Anna opened her mouth to talk, but she was being too sluggish for the kind of situation, so Ailee quickly gave Bastian a response. “They don’t state any reason and they point out that they want to meet with the president and not anyone else. That are you.”“Did a word about this get out already?” Bastian said in a questioning tone. He looked at Ailee’s face, asking, “did anyone except you and the tech d

“This is a game and we must play it like a pro.”Ailee’s last statement kept ringing in Bastian’s mind as he walked into the conference room. He wasn’t fully composed, but with Ailee’s words and her presence as his accompaniment, he was able to govern his body and maintained his normal stride.Ailee walked faster and arrived at the door before Bastian. She opened the door for him to enter and curtsied her head. “Remember the goal, sir.” She whispered as he walked past her.Bastian stepped into the conference room and exhaled deeply, and without delay, he paced to his seat and sat down.The directors looked at each other’s faces one after the other, surprised to see Bastian enter the room alone, since he always came with the president. They wanted to question him, but innerly convinced themselves that the president was on her way.‘Why isn’t she here yet?’‘Why isn’t Bastian saying anything?’‘Why is the room silent?’‘Won’t anyone say something?’‘Who will talk first?’‘Who will addres

-THREE MONTHS LATER-“What are you doing, Cohen?” Patricia challenged as Cohen slowly reversed the car. “Aren’t we going to pick the kid at the school anymore?”“We will.” Cohen answered as he drove into the other lane and headed toward their street.“Then why are you reversing? Why are you heading back home?” She questioned.“I forgot something at home.” Cohen informed.“What did you forget? Hun?” she asked, looking at him with a side of her eyes.“My phone.” Cohen responded.“Why must we go back to pick up your phone? It will take less than an hour to get back home. Can’t you just let’s go?” She queried.“I can’t because I am a business owner. I mustn’t stay away from my phone.” Cohen gave an excuse with his eyes fixed on the road ahead.“It’s the weekend, Cohen. No one will call you today. Stop giving excuses and let’s pick the kids. We shouldn’t keep them waiting for a long time.” Patricia said.“I’m not going because of business, but I need to pay fees before we can take the kids

Cohen discharged a deep breath as he walked out of the bathroom. He paused for a second and rounded his hands over his waist, forgetting what he wanted to do next at that moment.A thought passed through his mind and he wiped his right hand over his face with the left still on the waist.Patricia’s phone rang, and he walked to the cabinet on the bedside and picked it up. “Who could be?” He wondered with his eyes furrowed, confused, and before he could turn to the door, the call ended and a message came into her eyes.Since Patricia’s phone was always unlocked, Cohen saw the message’s content and his eyes enlarged as a surprised tone escaped his mouth. “Hun!”He bit his lower lip and after a few second thought, he reached a conclusion and instantly swiped the message to the left to delete it. He returned the phone to the bed cabinet and rushed out of the room.He arrived in the sitting room and saw his mother watching the TV while Elsie was packing their breakfast out of the kitchen an

“Who is here for me?” Anna threw a question at the security officer escorting her out of the room, showing no interest in meeting the person. The security officer opened the door for her and immediately as she sighted Patricia, she veered around.Patricia quickly stood on her feet. “Is that how to treat a guest?” She threw a question. “Shouldn’t you at least stay to hear why I am here? Your daughter, Rachel, don’t you have any message you want to pass to her?”Patricia’s words made Anna’s feet froze, and she halted for a minute before she slowly veered around and walked to the chair and sat down. “I have no message for Rachel. She doesn’t deserve a mother like me. I don’t worth to be called a mother,” she poured out. “Tell me why you are here. I don’t want to talk with you.”Patricia discharged a deep breath and sighed. She stared at Anna with a pity and despite having a lot of things in her mind, she couldn’t open her mouth to talk at the moment.Anna sighed. “Take your eyes away fro

Anna abruptly opened the door and banged in, panting. “Ma! Ma! Ma!” She shouted, running towards Patricia’s desk.Patricia was shocked, and she couldn’t utter a word. Instead, she widened her eyes and watched Anna arrived in front of her desk before she could pull a word out. “What happened?” She asked, the worried in her voice cooperating with the concern in her voice.Anna breathed heavily as she bent her back and placed her hands on her knees.“What happened?!” Patricia raised her voice. She was getting more scared by Anna’s reaction.Anna panted for another second before she raised her hand and stood straight on her feet. “It’s him…” she uttered, but couldn’t complete her statement.She pointed her thumb at her back, crossing it over her shoulder without looking backward. “It’s him…” she continued, struggling to complete her statement but couldn’t.“It’s who?” Patricia asked, with her lips already quivering. “Calm yourself and talk, Anna. What happened? It’s who? Please, talk. You’

Ailee walked into the office and stood in front of Bastian’s head. She bowed her head, holding a file in her hand. “Good morning, sir,” she greeted, but Bastian, whose head was placed on the desk, didn’t respond to her.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted again, but still no response.She furrowed her face. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked herself in a low voice. She observed him for a second and bent a bit to check if he was sleeping, but his eyes were wide open, making her guess he was just lost in thought.She elevated her shoulder a bit with her mouth shaped to the left a little. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked herself put the file on the desk and let out. “The president said I should give this to you.”She eyed her for another few minutes and turned around to leave, but as she took three steps forward, she halted because she was worried and couldn’t leave Bastian in that situation.“Gosh…” she uttered and discharged a soft breath and, without giving her decision a second thought

Patricia heard a knock on the floor, and she stopped pressing her laptop. She glanced at her wristwatch. “8:05 Am? Who could it be?” She wondered.She stared at the door and raised her voice so it could reach the person. “Come in.” She permitted and immediately continued pressing her laptop.“Good morning, ma.”She heard a familiar voice and instantly raised her gaze. “Cohen?!” she exclaimed with her eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn’t say another word. Instead, she fixed her eyes on him and watched him stride closer.Cohen arrived in front of his desk and bowed his head. “Good morning, ma,” he greeted. He raised his head and crossed his hand behind him as he stared downward and slightly bent his neck to apologize. “I’m sorry I arrived late,”“I have to drop my mother at the hospital.” He exclaimed.“What are-” Patricia opened her mouth to talk, but Cohen interrupted her.“I’m sorry. I know that’s not an excuse. I shouldn’t involve family matters in business, but I have to sta

“Be careful…” Patricia cautioned Williams, who was already a few steps ahead of her out of the hospital and had been jumping around since the doctor said he was perfectly healthy now. There was no injection for him anymore.“Mom, please call Dad. This call for celebration. I am happy,” Williams let out. He stopped jumping, but couldn’t help pacing fast because he was so excited. He halted and glanced backward at his mother. “And don’t forget to invite Mr. Cohen as well. He needs to be there. I hope he is fine now and will have the strength to come.”“Sure, I will,” she agreed. She took a few steps closer to her and bent in his front. She passed the medicine nylon in her right hand to the left and placed it on Williams’s shoulder. “Williams, I know this won’t sound well with you or you won’t like it, but now that the truth is out and you know who Cohen is, you should change how you address him.”Williams furrowed his face as he raised his shoulder, stretching his hands beside him. “What

-Many weeks later-“Ma, it’s Mrs. Charlotte. She has been waiting for over two hours.” Anna proclaimed immediately as she entered the office. Patricia was working on a file, and Anna’s announcement made her halted. She raised her gaze and looked at Anna’s face. “Why did you keep her waiting?” She questioned. “You should have told her I was in a meeting.”“I did, but she insisted on staying, and Ailee told me to allow her. I even invited her to come into the office to wait for you, but she declined saying she doesn’t worth it.” Anna explained.Patricia sighed and closed the file on her desk. She stood and walked out of her seat, asking, “where is she now?”“At the third floor. She is waiting with others question,” Anna responded. Patricia had already walked to her side, and before she could add another word, Patricia increased her speed and already walked past her.Anna turned around and paced to Patricia with three steps between them. “You can stay. I will go call her.” She offered.
