Chapter 109 There were tear marks across her face and as she looked at Anthony, she realized that one could become courageous not only when they were drunk, but also when they were grieving. “What do you want?”
“Come dine with me.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“You could have gone to any woman. I‘m sure Michelle would love it. Why me? Why today? Do you really hate me that much?”
“Devastated?” He questioned coldly, rendering her speechless. “That‘s your family. To be honest, I can‘t empathize.”
“That‘s because you don‘t have a heart to begin with! You are cold and vicious not only to the outsiders, but to your own family as well. I‘m curious but is there anyone in this world who cares about you for just who you are, instead of your status and wealth?” “Say that again!” He roared darkly. She trembled and bit her lip in fear. When he pressed himself against her, she shouted, “Ah!“. He pinned her against the chair and gritted out, “Cat got your tongue?” She struggled to breath, unable to say another word. “You should be glad that your mother died today!” “...” Anne trembled in rage and disbelief that he had said such a thing. What a terrible man.
They went into a high–class restaurant‘s private room.
Anne sat stiffly as the waiter came in. Anthony did not bother asking Anne anything and placed the order. She remained frozen when the food arrived, hoping that she could be left alone.
“Eat,” he said.
She glanced at him, before lowering her gaze and picking up her spoon. She had an allergy for seafood, but was not picky about any other food, considering how miserable she felt, she might just eat anything in front of her, including seafood. A thought popped up inside her head. She turned to look at Anthony warily and asked, “Did you kill my mom?” Anthony stared back at her emotionlessly, without saying yes or no to her questions. The tension increased inside the room. Feeling like she was about to suffocate, she got up to leave. “I need to use the bathroom...” She took a deep breath once she was outside of the room. ‘Did Anthony do it? But Why? To frame my aunt? It makes sense...‘ She thought to herself, ‘I shouldn‘t have asked him like that. If it really was him, I might have provoked him. Is he going to kill me, too?‘ .
She headed to the bathroom and someone called out to her before she could go in.
“Who‘s that if not my ex–girlfriend?”
She looked up and saw Lennon standing before.
Lennon scanned her up and down maliciously. “You got dumped? I told you that you would never find a man as great as I am!”
Losing her patience, she tried to walk past him, but he immediately blocked her way. She looked up expressionlessly. “Can you get out of my way?”
“Anne, you refused to let me touch you because I was too poor for you right? Well, you‘ve finally found your life purpose by selling your body to whoever can pay. How about this, I can pay you double of what you charge for one night.”
Feeling numb, she simply looked at him and said, “Lennon, I didn‘t know you wanted my body that badly. That fact that you get to be here probably means you found yourself a rich girlfriend, right? You should save your money instead of wasting it on me.”
“You are wrong. I‘m just trying to help your ‘small business‘ seeing how you are my ex girlfriend. If your service isn‘t half–bad, I can introduce you to other clients,” he retorted.
“I don‘t need it.” She shoved him aside. He almost slipped and fell in the sudden movement. Humiliated, he angrily went up to grab her by the arm. “You wh–”
She felt as though her shoulder was getting dislocated at the moment and grunted in pain. Anne turned around and realized that another hand had grabbed Lennon‘s wrist and Lennon‘s face was twisted in pain as well. “Do you have a death wish?” Anthony spat coldly.
