She said, âDonât make this âhard! for me, okay?â
Wayne froze and then locked his gaze on her. âCan you repeat that?â he asked, his voice husky.
âPlease promise to stay at your house during this time, okay?â
Wayne agreed right away. Anna knew exactly what she had to do. Wayne also knew when he needed to do what she said.
As Wayne was about to do something to her, Anna said, âI want to have ice cream.â
âNow?â
âYeah. Honey, | love you. Could you please go downstairs and get some ice cream for me?â
Wayne was immediately aroused with lust when he heard her sweet voice. He even desired to sleep with Anna immediately. On the other hand, Anna had learned how to bargain with him. She said, âDarling, Iâm going to take a bath right now. Iâm hoping to get some ice cream after my bath.â
Wayne was excited, thinking about how lovely Anna would look after her bath. âWait for me,â he said as he walked out the door.
When she saw him leave, Anna smiled smugly. She changed the combination lock on the door and then texted Wayne. Youâre not going to make it back tonight, my dear, she thought to herself.
She had planned to visit Jennie the next day, so she needed to pack her belongings for the night. Plus, she didnât want Wayne to know 341 Do You Have Five Million D. aboutit.
Wayne had just walked downstairs when he saw Annaâs text message, âIâve thought about this. Why donât we start it tonight, since youâve promised not to stay with me until weâre married? In case you change your mind, Iâve changed the code of the lock.
You should return to your house tonight. | love you.â
Annaâs words were like a cold breeze on Wayneâs neck, killing the burning desire in his heart. He became aware that whenever Anna acted cute in front of him, âbad* things would happen to him. However, he couldnât always see through her trick. Then he walked downstairs, then sighed and went to the garage. Wayne felt there was nothing he could do about it because he loved her with all his heart.
The next morning, Anna drove to Laxis Town. Sheâd just gotten out of the car when she noticed Sally standing in the doorway, taking out the trash. The glass in the garbage clattered as it collided with the bin. Seeing that, Anna walked over to her right away.
â| know you, youâre Anna,â Sally said when she saw Anna.
âWhy is there so much glass in the bin?â Anna asked, nodding, âBasically everything in the hotel is ruined now!â Sally exclaimed, looking depressed.
Anna froze and asked, âWhy? What happened?â
Sally then led her inside the hotel. On the way, Anna noticed that the windows and the glass above the door had vanished as she walked through the door. The tables, chairs and benches inside the lobby were also broken and cluttered on the floor. She remembered that there used to be people sitting and talking in the lobby on the first floor, but there was no one at that moment.
Sally explained, âThree days ago, a group of people broke into the 341 Do You Have Five Million D. hotel and smashed almost everything. And they took Ryan away.â
Annaâs eyes widened in surprise as she asked, âDid you call the police?
Sally shook her head and whispered, âJennie wouldnât let me call the cops. After | cleaned up this mess, she told me to go home and rest for a While. But Iâve been concerned about Ryan for a few days. Is he in huge trouble? Why did someone break in and destroy everything here?â
Anna looked at the second floor and asked, âWhereâs Jennie? Is she upstairs?â
âYes.â
âAllright, Iâll go check on her.â
Then Anna went straight to Jennieâs room. She thought this was a very serious situation, but she couldnât figure out why Jennie hadnât called the police. And she had a feeling that those people knew something about her secret, which was why Jennie didnât call the police.
At the time, Jennie was in her room, packing her belongings. She had piled her jewelry on the desk, which was unusual for her because she was a neat person.
Dressed in a pink knitted dress and with tears in her eyes, Jennie wiped her tears and asked as soon as she saw Anna, âWhat are you doing here?â
Anna shut the door and asked, âWhat happened? Who kidnapped Ryan?â
Jennie frowned and then said, âIt has nothing to do with you, Anna. Youâre going to marry Wayne soon, arenât you? You should be planning your wedding right now.**
âNo, Iâll never leave you alone. You are Wayneâs mother and Ryan is. 341 Do You Have Five Million D. Wayneâs brother. Youâre both my family. 11 Still, Jennie was stubborn. After hearing Annaâs words, she remained silent as if she wanted to force her to leave.
Anna calmed down and patiently said, âJennie, please calm down Please let me know what I can do for you. | will do everything |
can to help Ryan because Iâve always considered him my brother!
Jennie slowly raised her head, then locked her gaze on Anna. She was crying again, and after a long time, she said, âCould you please lend me some money? | can take my hotel as a mortgage and Iâll pay you back later. Iâm at a loss for what to do now.â
Anna sighed with relief and said, âYou can solve this problem with money? Donât worry, Iâll find a way for you. How much do they want?â
Jennie clenched her teeth and appeared hesitant to tell Anna. She finally said, after a long time, âHe wants $5 million, but | only have a few hundred thousand right now. | donât have enough time to sell my hotel.â
That was a lot of money for Anna as well. She frowned and resisted the urge to ask about what was happening. Awhile later, she said, âIâll figure it out, donât worry.*â
Anna couldnât get that much money in such a short period of time, but Wayne could. Wayne was Ryanâs brother, and she was confident he would lend a hand to them. Knowing that Jennie didnât want to talk to Wayne anymore, she reassured her once more before going downstairs to call Wayne.
âWayne, do you have time now? | want to talk to you about something,â
âWhat is it2â
âDo you have $5 million?â â341 Do You Have Five Million D. iad âYes. Whatâs the problem?â
âItâs along story. Iâm at the Maplesugar Hotel, the one that Jennie owns. Something went wrong here and she needs money. Can you help her?â
âIs that why you kicked me out last night?â Wayne asked after a brief silence.
âYes, but thatâs not the point. Can you help her?â
After a brief pause, Wayne said coldly, âNo, | will not. Gabe will pick you up tonight. This whole thing has absolutely nothing to do with me.â
