Chapter 4 Go against Me
Adams arranged for a trusted assistant to guide Anaya and help her.
Smart and conscientious, Anaya quickly had a good awareness of all projects that were assigned to her.
When she was about to get off work, there was a knock on the office door.
Anaya looked up and saw a tall, thin man walking in.
A hint of hatred flashed through Anaya’s eyes when she recognized the man, but she quickly concealed it.
A smile appeared on her pretty face. Anaya greeted warmly, “Hi, Mark, what brings you here?”
Mark was the grandson of Adams’s younger brother, the cousin of Anaya.
After Adams fell ill, the company was trusted to him and his family.
They showed great respect to Adams and were quite close to him because Adams had been supporting this family.
However, after Adams fell ill, their evil ambition was revealed and they secretly stole Riven Group from Adams.
In her last life, Mark and his family have contributed greatly to Adams‘ heavy illness.
After Adams died, Anaya finally realized everything and began to work in the company.
However, at that time, the Dutt family was already on the edge of collapse. She had no work experience. Mark and his
family had been making trouble for her day after day. In addition, Joshua also came after her because of Lexie. Under
huge pressure, she failed to save the company and her family went bankrupt soon.
Since then, she began to study financial knowledge desperately, paid attention to financial news, and found out all the things that Mark and his family had done.
Young and angry, she went to find them. However, Mark and his family threw her into the police station and asked the police officers to “take care of her“.
If she hadn’t been Mrs. Maltz, she probably wouldn’t have been able to come out at that time.
Now she wished she could swallow Mark alive.
However, she was clear it was not the time to fight against Mark, so she had to endure now.
Mark had a hypocritical smile on his face. “My dad said you went back to the company and asked me to greet you. How is it? Are you okay?”
Anaya suddenly returned to the company and even held a responsible position, which made Mark very dissatisfied.
He wouldn’t even want to see Anaya if Frank hadn’t forced him to make a greeting.
“With Tim’s help, everything goes smoothly.”
“Really?”
Mark’s eyes were full of contempt.
What does a housewife know?
Can you read the project instructions? Mark thought.
Then he directly picked up a folder on the desk without asking Anaya’s permission at all.
The smile on his face quickly disappeared when he saw the title of the file.
“I have been in charge of this project. Why is it turned over to you?”
Anaya said calmly, “I have discussed it with my grandfather. I will follow up on this project from now on. I have already sent someone to arrange relevant procedures. Maybe you haven‘t gotten the news.”
In Anaya‘s last life, Mark had embezzled a lot of money from various projects in the company. This project was a start. No one discovered his corruption, so he began to steal more and more money until the whole company was ruined by him.
Since she got the chance to change everything, she had to eliminate all adverse factors.
“You have just joined the company. Although this project is not big, it is very important for the Dutt family. You are just a newcomer. I don‘t think it‘s a good idea for you to take over it.”
“Why? Even if I fail, it‘s just a few million losses. I can just make up for it with my own money.”
Mark clenched his fists.
He could earn at least a few hundred thousand dollars from this cooperation. This sum might mean nothing to Anaya, but it was a considerable income for Mark.
So how could he be willing to give up on this project?
“Do you deliberately go against me?”
“How is it possible? We‘re family. I just happened to be interested in this project. I didn‘t mean to offend you,” said Anaya with a smile.
Mark scrutinized Anaya with a gloomy face.
He had a feeling that she had found something wrong with this project so she kept onto it.
Mark took a deep breath and drove this thought out of his mind.
Anaya is just an ordinary woman who got married after graduation. Her mind is filled with foolish romantic thoughts. How could she have the ability to compete with me? Mark thought to himself.
This thought relieved him a little.
“Mr. Chowne, the president of Sega Corporation, and I are old friends. He signed the contract because I was in charge of it. I‘m afraid he will not agree to change to another person.
“Even though he doesn‘t agree, you won’t be able to take this project either. Business does not depend on one person!”
“Anyway, you don‘t need to worry about it. I‘ll take care of it,” Anaya said calmly.

Anaya knew nothing. Devin and he had made the deal. He would only cooperate with him.
Anaya would get nothing if she went to talk with Devin.
she couldn‘t take his things away!
Anaya spent a day investigating Devin and got a lot of good things.
She made an appointment with Devin to meet at night. She was in a good mood until she saw Joshua’s stony face at the entrance of the hotel.
“Mr. Maltz, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be chatting with your lover this time?”
In the past few years, Joshua would call Lexie, who was abroad, almost every night to have a talk.
Joshua would deliberately avoid Anaya every time. She had been thinking he was dealing with his work until one day that Lexie said proudly that Joshua would talk with her on the phone every night.
So, for three years of their marriage, Joshua had been in a relationship with Lexie.
Anaya felt she was so stupid that she fell in love with this kind of scum.
“I came here for work,” Joshua replied and frowned. “You have checked my cell phone?”
Anaya mocked, “Did I need to? Do you think I am deaf or blind that I didn’t notice you talked with your lover every night?”
Joshua said unpleasantly, “Have I been too nice to you? How dare you talk to me like this?”
Anaya revealed a scornful smile and said, “Mr. Maltz, you are a spoiled child. Do you think that everyone should coax you and do what you ask? I’m no longer your wife. Stop getting all authoritative on me.”
Anaya’s last sentence successfully pissed Joshua off. He grabbed her hand, his dark eyes glared with anger and he said word by word, “WE HAVEN’T DIVORCED YET!”
“Soon. We will tomorrow. Please be punctual and don’t stand me up like last time.” Anaya shook off his hand and added, “Mr. Maltz, please keep away from me when you come across me next time. I’m afraid I can’t find a new
boyfriend.”
The veins on Joshua’s forehead bulged. He said furiously, “Did you start to look for a new boyfriend?”
Anaya raised an eyebrow and retorted, “Can’t I? I’m only twenty–three, the best age to enjoy my life.”
“Anaya…” Tim walked over after parking the car.
However, he felt a hostile gaze fall on him once he called Anaya.
Tim met Joshua’s cold eyes. It seemed as if Joshua was going to eat him up the next moment.
Tim’s heart sank.
Damn it! Tim cursed in his heart.
Anaya turned to Tim and asked, “Are you done with the car?”
Tim looked at Joshua warily, afraid that Joshua would rush over the next seconds and twist his head off. He nodded slightly.
“Let’s get in.”
Anaya was about to get inside but was stopped by Joshua who stepped in front of her.
“Can’t be your next target? Your taste for men is so poor now that you picked
