Nobody expected that the man would say something like that. Moreover, even the police officers around him didnt know how to respond He didnt cause anyone or himself any harm and all he did was just shouting a few words However, the crowd became agitated almost immediately. Then, nearly everyone dashed to Anna like a maniac âI just w Pages deverâs license Her name is Anna Gabnel and sheâs Frankâs second daughter. You must etter and make her pay for you The man dederately continued shouting, trying to make things worse. Then, things became very turbulent Anna stood frozen in the crowd Although the young police officer beside her shielded her in his arms he was unable to prevent her from being dragged and kicked by the attackers âGet herâ Make her Erve our money backâ
*Give us out money All the workers yelled at Annar lunat Just as the polke there called the police station for backup there was a line of black Porsches parked neatly on the street Then a doren of strong men got out of the cars Before the police could react to what was happening they walked through the crowd Everyone was making w for them then a young man in a suit walked brskly into that crowd When he walked out he was carrying Anna in his arms.
The man mixuloutkappened and saved Anna However, she did not manage to see the scene Someone in the crowd huried something at her and hit her in the head, knocking her out before the man arned When she woke up she found that it was already late at night She took a look around the room and noticed that it was decorated in a low-key but luxurious way Alavender scented candle was lit on the bed and the aroma made Anna feel calm and relaxed.
Anna sat up after propping her elbows on the pillows. The covers fell off her body at that very moment, revealing her pink silk nightgown *You ve finally woken up. Annaâ She heard a familiar voie say something to her, And she noticed Jasper standing in the bedroom doorway when she looked up. Moreover, he was carrying a brown wooden dinner plate in his hand.
She saw that there was a bowl of chicken soup on the plate. It wasnât a big meal, but since Anna had been sleeping for a long time, it was what she needed most.
âHey, youâre stingy, Jasper! Why do you only give me soup when you can afford to live in such a big house?â
While Anna was sitting on the bed and drinking the soup, Jasper sat on the chair next to the bed and read a travel magazine. He felt resigned after hearing her words and asked, âCan you eat a lot of food now?â
âNo, I canât.â
Jasper shook his head and whispered to Anna, as if she were a kid, âCome on, Anna, take a sip.When youâre feeling better, Iâll take you to a fancy restaurant for supper. You canât eat too much because you have a head injury, according to the doctor.â
Anna looked up at the mirror across the room after hearing his words. Then, she was surprised that her head was wrapped in bandages, making her look like an unfinished mummy.
She then expressed her dissatisfaction by saying, âHuh? Why are there so many bandages on my head?â
She then suddenly gasped, as she had accidentally touched her wound. âDonât touch it.â Jasper immediately frowned, as if he could feel the pain too.
Anna didnât dare to move when she saw him being so serious, and then made an âohâ sound with her lips pursed. Then, it dawned on her that he was the one who had saved her.
Then she asked, âJasper, did you save me?â
âAre you disappointed because itâs not Wayne?â Jasper asked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Anna had lost her appetite after hearing Wayneâs name for the second time that day. In a flat tone, she said, âDo you have to bring him up? Since you now know everything about me, you must be aware that he and I are no longer together, right?â
At that point, Jasper stopped reading the magazine. He stared at Annaâs face and said meaningfully, âIf I hadnât known that, I wouldnât have turned up so promptly and saved you today.â
Anna frowned and asked, âWhat do you mean by that?â
Jasper didnât answer the question, but he changed the subject by saying, âThe workers all appeared to be waiting for you to arrive, so I have a feeling this was all staged. Anna, what do you think about that?â
Anna frowned and said in disbelief, âWhat are you talking about? How is that possible? They didnât even have to wait for me! You know, Iâm not even involved with Gabrielâs group.â
Jasper didnât seem to think so. He said, âIsnât it true that theyâve been attempting to blame you for this? After all, youâre Frankâs second daughter. Even though you have nothing to do with the Gabriel Group, they donât see it that way.â
Anna agreed with him and quickly recalled what had happened during Allieâs funeral.
âDo you think Dylan did this?â she questioned, unsure.
âIt seems youâre not a complete i***t, Anna,â Jasper said such a mean word in a gentle tone.
Feeling resigned, Anna rolled her eyes at him and said, âYouâre the idiot.â
Anna changed her clothes and followed Jasper downstairs to stroll about after she finished her soup.
After Jasper rescued her, he was afraid that the group of workers would follow them to the hospital. So, he took her back to his home.
âOh, okay. What about Tammy? Did you see her yet?â
Since Anna had to deal with many things lately, she was too busy to let Tammy and Jasper meet.
Tammy didnât even know that their marriage was a sham. As a result, she assumed Jasper was her biological father.
âOh, Iâve met her. But, I just saw her at a distance. You know, it was so chaotic there. Before I took you away, I just asked Lily to say hello to your aunt on my behalf.â
Anna gave him a nod before thanking him. In that emergency situation, she knew Jasper wasnât in the mood to talk to Tammy.
âSo, how about I take Tammy to dinner with you?â
Jasper glanced at her and said as he was resigned, âYouâve already said that a few times before, Anna. Iâm afraid Iâll be back in the States by the time you finally have time for supper. Youâre really busy, arenât you? I think you are even busier than the President of the United States.â
âOh, Iâm sorry. But Iâm serious this time. Why donât you decide when will we have lunch? Iâm sure Iâll have time for it this time.â
âReally?â âYes, I swear.â
Jasper looked glad as if the plot had worked. He immediately said, âHow about this noon?â
âMr. Wright, Iâve gotten some reliable news. Just as you thought, Jasperâs now working with many companies in Birmingham.
Heâs looking for a business partner to help him develop an artificial intelligence product.â
âOh, which companies is he working with?â âIâve compiled a list.â Gabe placed a folder on Wayneâs desk right away.
While Wayne was looking at it carefully, Gabe hesitated for a long time before asking, âMr. Wright, did you watch the news today?â
âOh, no. Whatâs going on?â âSomeone tried to jump off the Gabriel Group headquarters building.â Wayne paused and then asked calmly, âSo? What happened then?â âMiss Gabriel went there at that time. After learning she was Mr. Gabrielâs daughter, the
