Chapter 296: Chapter 298

298 Pretty Boys Are the Best “| don’t think the Joan group would dare to have illegal drugs deals inside a warehouse they own because it’s too dangerous.

They are in the airline business and make far more money than they do from drug dealing each year. If this is related to this group, maybe one of their employees did it.”’ Wayne analyzed.

Anna frowned and asked, “What do you mean? Are you saying someone secretly sells drugs out of the group’s warehouse? That is impossible! You know, unless they’re insane.”

Ryan suddenly asked, “You just said that the driver went to the wrong warehouse, right? Does that mean he was here for the first time?”

“Yes, it appears so,” Anna said after a brief pause.

Ryan said, folding up the A4 paper on the table and putting it in his pocket, “Okay, I’m going to have the powder tested. Actually, things might not be what you think they are. Honestly, | don’t think anyone would be bold enough to do this publicly. After all, this driver was only here for the first time, right? Why hadn’t anyone told him where he needed to go?”

These four people sat in the living room and talked for a long time without reaching a decision. Ryan explained that he had a class the following day and would spend the night at school after Andrew had left.

Anna gathered up the coffee cups on the table. Wayne said as she was about to walk into the kitchen to wash the cups, “Anna, let me do it.”

Then he took Anna’s dishwashing gloves from her grasp.

Anna didn’t refuse him, and she stood by his side and talked to him while playing Tetris on her phone.

She said, “Ryan seems to have his final exams coming up recently, so he’s always away from home. Sometimes, | feel quite lonely when he’s not around.”

“You mean, do you like having many people in the house?” Wayne froze, gazing at Anna’s face.

Anna nodded absentmindedly and said, “Of course! You know, the more, the merrier. | do like having a lot of people in the house.”

“Anna, how about we have more kids after we get married?” Wayne suggested.

He finished and returned to his cup-washing duties.

Anna was preoccupied with finding the proper location for the squares and thought she had misheard something.

She continued to play the game before asking, “What were you saying? I’m sorry, | didn’t hear you clearly.”

Wayne placed the washed cups on the shelf upside down, then removed his gloves and said, “Oh, | asked if you wanted more people in the house.”

Anna felt dizzy and realized she had just answered the question.

“Of course I do,” she said again.

She had been so preoccupied with the game that she hadn’t thought much about what Wayne had just asked her.

Wayne had finished washing the cup by then.

“Okay, let’s go to bed,” he said, gently pinching Anna’s cheek with his wet fingers.

Anna followed Wayne back to the bedroom, still blushing. She couldn’t recall what Wayne had just said to her, but she was pretty sure he had mentioned the word “married” earlier.

Meanwhile, a man was on the phone on the balcony of a huge house in the suburbs.

“Okay, | got it. Thank God that stuff is fine.”

After hanging up the phone, Richard returned to his bedroom. Ada had just gotten out of the shower and was putting face cream on the makeup table.

She asked, “Richard, who called you?”

He replied, “Oh, you don’t need to know that. All you need to know is that | intend to destroy your enemy as you told me.”

Ada was taken aback and asked, “Huh? Have you already made up your mind?”

“Yes, I’ve already thought about it. You are right, Anna is indeed a powerful woman. Not only is she smart, but she also has Wayne to back her up. So, I can’t treat her in the usual way. | must utilize some other ways to make her suffer.”

Ada seemed concerned about this and then asked, “Really? So, how are you going to do it? Let me do it for you if you don’t know what to do.”

Richard interrupted her and said confidently, “Well, | know what you want to say. You don’t have to worry about it because I’ve already planned it. All we have to do now is force her to break up with Wayne.”

Richard’s tone was as cruel as the howling wind outside the house that night.

Hearing that, Ada nodded and even smiled.

The next day, the Gabriel Group held a morning meeting to discuss who should be chosen as the brand ambassador. The advertising director handed Anna a file containing a long list of names.

He said, “Look, we’ve chosen these performers. | considered how much they wanted to be paid, their popularity, and whether they fit in with the image of our group. The top three artists are all the best, but each has his own strengths and weaknesses. As a result, we need you to make the final call.”

Anna yawned as she looked over the long list and said, “Well, you guys decide then. Why not use the first one since you’ve already ranked them?”

Anna had no idea who the new artists in the entertainment industry were these days. In fact, she believed that having Scott as an endorser would be best. But because he was still on vacation in Bali with Randall, he couldn’t come back immediately.

•A few days later, Mona asked Anna to visit the shooting site. Anna was very reluctant about that and said, “This is something the advertising department needs to do. Why should | bother coming? I’m not particularly interested in this.”

“No, you must come! As our chairman, you need to meet our endorser, Anna. We’ll be screwed if the advertisement does not reflect our group’s image.”

Anna looked at Mona and said, “Well, | know you never care about such trivial things. Tell me the truth, why did you bring me here?”

Mona pursed her lips and appeared embarrassed. She explained, “The spokesperson they chose is a well-known model, and some of my colleagues wanted me to ask him for an autograph. Well, we all think he’s very attractive!”

Anna seemed to disagree with her and asked, “Really? Is he really that attractive? Actually, I’m not interested in the new generation of models. | believe they are all not as handsome as my...”

Anna then stopped talking.

Mona immediately asked, “What do you want to say? Not as good as what? You want to say they’re not as attractive as your BOYFRIEND, right?”

Hearing that, Anna looked embarrassed.

Mona said, “Yes, Mr. Wright is indeed very handsome. He’s that tough and reserved type. But, you know, he isn’t a popular type these days.”

Anna felt that she had lost track of the trend. She asked, “Huh? So, what’s in style right now?”
