Chapter 1000
Anna just watched with red eyes as she med herself. “Mr. rke, I’m sorry. I didn’t protect M.”
Philip shook his head and said, “I’m not here to listen to your apologies. I’m here to thank you.”
“Thank me?”
Anna was puzzled.
Philip cut the peeled apple into cubes, then poked a piece with a toothpick. Stretching his arm out, he
ced the cubed apple at the corner of Anna’s bruised mouth.
Anna was still a little apprehensive and hesitated for a moment before opening her small mouth shyly.
“If you hadn’t protected M with your life, she might have been tortured by them a long time ago,”
Philip said with a trace of hatred in his eyes.
Anna said after a brief silence, “It’s my responsibility. It’s because of my inability that I couldn’t protect
her.”
Philip paused, raised his eyebrows, and nced at Anna before saying with dissatisfaction, “I said, I’m
not here to listen to you ming yourself.”
Of course, his words contained a trace of humor—notplete dissatisfaction.
Anna was dumbfounded. She closed her small mouth as her fingers scrunched the sheets
unconsciously. She dared not say anymore.
Philip fed the pieces of apple to Anna one by one, saying, “Anna, how long have you been with Theo?”
Anna was startled before saying in a hurry, “Five years.”
Philip nodded and asked, “Have you ever thought of leaving Theo?”
Anna shook her head and said, “No, Theo is like a brother to me. I’m an orphan. Theo has been
providing me financial support to go to school. Since college, I’ve been helping Theo out.”
“Do you regret it?” Philip continued asking.
Anna said without hesitation, “No.”
Philip nodded, then asked again, “Then in the future, will you follow me?”

For a moment, the ward became quiet.
Anna stared at Philip with flickering big eyes that were full of shock and bewilderment.
By following Theo, she was also working for Philip.
However, following Philip directly and following Theo for Philip were two things that were totally
different in nature!
This was an opportunity.
After hesitating for a moment, Anna declined. “I still hope to follow Theo and work for Mr. rke. I’m
fine with this arrangement.”
Bam!
The door of the ward was mmed open.
Theo broke in while staring bitterly at Anna. He turned around and bowed down respectfully to Philip
before saying, “Mr. rke, Anna isn’t a sensible woman. Please disregard her words. I hope that you
can ept Anna.”
“Theo.” Anna was moved to tears.
She knew that Theo was doing this for her own good.
Philip nced at Theo, then looked at Anna. He smiled and said, “So, what’s your choice?”
Before Anna could answer, Theo immediately stared at Anna and said, “Hurry up and agree to it! If you
don’t agree, I won’t call you my godsister anymore!”
Anna helplessly bit her lip, nodded, and said, “Thank you, Mr. rke. I agree.”
Theo was delighted as if he was walking on cloud nine.
Then, Philip got up and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he looked at Anna worriedly and hesitated to speak several times.
Anna noticed Philip’s hesitation, smiled, and said, “Mr. rke, I’m fine. They didn’t do much to me.”
Huff.
Philip breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile on his face, “Okay, that’s fine then.”
Sigh.
To be honest, Philip had been very distressed. If Anna was really defiled by those thugs, he would not
know how to make up for Anna’s trauma.
At the same time in a luxurious private room on the third floor of Phoenix Pavilion.
Wace bent down and stood in front of Rachel rke with a respectful and horrified expression. He
said, “Miss rke, I’m sorry for my ipetence.”
Rachel nced at Wace coldly, motioned to the female bodyguard behind her, then handed a
portfolio to Wace.
“This is information on Philip’s wife. You know what to do, right?” Rachel said with a chill on her
eyebrows.
Rachel rke was about to make a move on her best friend, Wynn Johnston.
