Chapter 129: Chapter 129

“Are you sure he’s Pearson? Did you mistake him for someone else?” “It’s really him! I saw his face clearly.”

It was already late at night. On the first floor of a villa, Jason looked at Ada suspiciously and took the glass of wine from her hand.

He said, “Well, stop drinking. Even if that guy is really him, it doesn’t matter. If Wayne is still willing to see you, that means Pearson didn’t say anything about what we did to him yet. We can make a deal with him.”

Ada suddenly snapped back to her senses. She looked a bit drunk.

Looking at Jason, her manager, she said, “Do you think that he went to Wayne on purpose? Is he trying to threaten me with this?”

“He must have been trying to do that! He loves money, and he must have wanted to use it to ask us for money. Besides, he has no evidence about what happened that night.”

“What should we do now?”

“I think, rather than avoiding him, we should find him and make a deal with him. You know, money talks.”

Ada slowly calmed down after seeing such a determined look on Jason’s face. She thought, Yes, Pearson loves money so much.

He won‘t refuse me.

Early the following day, Anna was awakened by the alarm clock. When she woke up and saw the clock on the wall, she immediately jumped up from the bed and exclaimed, “Oh my God! It’s already 8:30!”

Wayne came out of the living room. He was wearing a white shirt and brown suit pants, and he had a cup of coffee in his hand.

He looked at her calmly and said, “You have twenty-five minutes to get dressed.”

Anna scratched her hair and looked frantic.

She walked off the bed and scolded Wayne as she looked for her clothes, “Damn, Wayne, it’s all because of you!”

“What did I do?” Wayne asked teasingly as he sipped his coffee.

Anna pulled a blazer and blazer skirt out of her closet. She glared at him and said, “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“Hey, I‘m your boyfriend Of course I hope that you can sleep a little longer.”

“Then if I’m late, can you not scold me? Can you do that?” Anna rolled her eyes at him and went into the bathroom with her clothes in her arms Wayne said, “I’m your boss, I’m supposed to be strict with you.” Anna said, somewhat annoyed, “Wow, you can really switch between these two roles.” “You‘re welcome.” Anna solled her eyes. She scolded him in her mind and sat in front of the mirror to do a quick makeup As she walked out of the bedroom, she accidentally stepped on the dress that Wayne had given her last night.

She frowned and asked, “What am I supposed to do with this dress?” “I’ll have the waiters come by later and take it to the tailor.”

“Can it be repaired?” Anna didn’t think so. The dress was ripped and wrinkled, and it looked like it would be hard to get sewn back together.

“That doesn’t matter. We should keep it as a souvenir.” Anna was confused and asked, “What? Why?” “In memory of last night.”

Anna froze for a few seconds, and her face instantly flushed. She quickly left the room like she was running away.

She strongly suspected that Wayne had not had sex for too long before. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be this horny and want to make love to her every moment in every corner of this hotel after they confirmed their relationship.

They had to show the foreign guests around a park in the city that day. The park was not far from the hotel, about a ten-minute drive away.

Anna told them about the history of the park and the sculptures inside.

Hans and Jennifer both liked Anna a lot. They admired her after learning that she had lived abroad alone with her daughter for five years.

“It must be hard to live alone in a foreign country and to take care of a child. Anna, you are really amazing.”

Jennifer took Anna’s hand and looked in awe at her.

“We were doing okay there and had a really good time. We came back here mostly because we missed our country.”

Jennifer smiled kindly and said, “I like your country, too. You’re right, life did treat you well. As soon as you got back here, you met Mr. Wright. True love is very rare and precious.”

“Yes, it is.” Anna looked over to Wayne, who was standing at a distance. She couldn’t help but smile when she saw that Wayne was discussing the construction of the stone bridge with Hans To welcome foreign guests, the hotel held a particular open-air cocktail party in the evening on the big lawn right in front of it.

Jennifer wore a lavender evening gown and looked very elegant. She said, “Mr. Wright, Miss Gabriel, I’d like to introduce you to a good friend of mine. She lives here too.”

“I’m looking forward to getting to know her.” Anna said.

“Here she is.” Jennifer smiled very happily and waved her hand in the direction of the far entrance Anna saw a person in a black dress approaching them. Her black silk gown was studded with black sequins that made her look like a glowing mermaid in the light Anna froze and said, “Peace ...

Peace, however, was not surprised at all. She smiled and explained to them, “Anna, Jennife is my friend and a big fan of my store. Jennifer, Anna is my best friend. So, when I heard you sa the party was going to be held here, I knew I would meet her.”

Peace was a fashion designer and knew many friends from abroad. However, Anna didn’t think she would know Jennifer.

After they made some small talk, Jennifer left to find Hans.

“By the way, Peace, Karl will come later too.” Anna suddenly remembered this matter and said.

After saying that, she looked back at Wayne and asked, “Right?” Wayne nodded slightly.

This cocktail party was private, but since Karl was a company shareholder, he might come too.

Peace, however, rolled her eyes and acted nonchalantly, “None of my business.” Anna sighed and asked, “Did you guys have another fight? What happened?” “We didn’t just have a fight this time. We broke up for good.” Peace said. “You broke up?” Anna asked hesitantly. Peace raised her eyebrows and said, “That’s right.” Anna and Wayne looked at each other, both knowing what each other meant.

After Peace and Karl were in a relationship, they often broke up. So, Anna and Wayne didn’t know if they had really broken up this time or if they were just having a cold war.

Not far away, a man walked in. He saw them and came towards them.

After seeing him, Anna tugged Wayne’s sleeve and said, “Peace, Wayne and I will go over there to entertain the guests. Can you stay here by yourself?”

Peace waved her hand to them and said, “No problem. Go ahead. I didn’t come alone.” “Huh? Who else came to the party with you?” Anna froze and asked.
