Chapter 136 Wanted To Brainwash
Annalise asked, “Did he cheat on her?” “Sigh.” Kent sighed again. “He didn’t just cheat. He saw that
your mother was beautiful and was simply fooling around with her. Do you think those rich people have
any sincerity? After ying enough and getting tired, they will still marry a well-born daughter of a
compatible family.
“Your mother said that when he was pursuing her, he created all kinds of sweet surprises. He could
have asked other people to do many things for him, yet he chose to do them personally. He knew
which shop’s dessert your mother liked to eat, so he drove more than ten kilometers to buy it himself.
“Which woman wouldn’t be moved by such a charm offensive?
“After your mother got together with him, she thought she had found her true love and entrusted her
entire heart to him. In the end, what did he do? “He turned around and married the well-born daughter
of another family. Your mother said that if she weren’t pregnant with you, she really wouldn’t have the
courage to live.” Though she knew Uncle Kent might be making it up, Annalise still felt ufortable.
Kent saw that Annalise’s emotions were fluctuating wildly, and he knew that he was about to seed.
He let out another long sigh and said, “Sigh! It’s our fault that the Barton family didn’t have money back
then. If the Barton family was also a wealthy family back then, he might not have married another
family’s daughter. “Anna, girls should learn to protect themselves. As the ancients said, you should only
express 30% of your thoughts whenever you meet someone and never reveal everything in your heart
completely. You can’t judge a book by its cover!
“No matter how well a man treats you, you have to be on guard. It’s the same for Julian. You have to be
on guard. I’m also a man. Men know men the best. I can tell you that no man is good.
“Men are born scumbags. Even as they eat from their own tes, they are eyeing the big pot, thinking
of gobbling more, grabbing more. In particr, when ites to women, they have an innate desire to
conquer. After a man conquers a woman, it is a huge mistake for the woman to think that he will be
loyal to her. After conquering her, he will lose interest after ying for a while and want to conquer
another woman.
“Men treat their careers and women as the two great battlegrounds of their lives. Expanding their
careers gives them a sense of aplishment. Conquering women also gives them a sense of
aplishment. “Anna, don’t think that Julian is treating you well now. This kind of tenderness won’t
last long. You have to n for yourself…” Annalise interrupted him. “Don’t worry about Julian and me,
Uncle Kent. There are many emotions in this world that you can’t understand.”
How could a profit-driven, self-seeking person like him truly understand feelings? How did her mentor,
Joseph Quigley, be the leading medical expert? The Quigley family was indeed a long-
established family specializing in traditional medicine.
However, Joseph Quigley did not study medicine at the beginning. He hated the field of medicine very
much. His two older brothers inherited the ancestral teachings and learned medicine, while he became
a teacher instead.
He was obsessed with literature, so he studied literature and tranted foreign ssics on the side, all
the while working as a teacher at a high school. Later, his wife fell ill and suddenly became bedridden.
The Quigley family was a family of medical practitioners. One of his older brothers studied modern
medicine, while the other studied traditional medicine Both were very reputable doctors. A few decades
ago, his two oider brothers ruled the medical world. Together, they were known as the Twin Heroes of
the Quigley family. However, neither of Joseph’s older brothers could cure his wife’s illness. His wife
was bedridden all the while, so he had to give her massages.
She often had to go for repeated checkups, and Joseph learned to read the examination reports
himself. He flipped through all kinds of dusty ancient tomes in the Quigley family’s collection and
learned acupuncture. After more than nine years, he was finally able to help his wife stand up.
As the research he conducted in the field of medicine caused significant reverberations throughout the
medical world, Joseph also received a doctorate in medicine as a result. From then on, Joseph officially
entered the medical world.
The reason he entered the medical field was that he wanted to help more people after witnessing how
his wife was tortured by illness. After he entered the medical field, he helped countless people. He only
retired more than ten years ago. The reason for his retirement was that his wife’s health was really
failing..
Despite his medical knowledge, Joseph still could not reverse his wife’s failing health. Therefore, he
lived in seclusion to apany his wife on her final journey.
Half a yearter, his wife passed away. At that time, Annalise’s two other mentors, Dariel Randall and
Cash Cappell, lived in seclusion with Joseph. They had been old friends for decades.
Joseph had loved only his wife his entire life. For her sake, he had abandoned literature to study
medicine and acquired a lot of knowledge. Who dared to say that no love in this world was faithful unto
death? There was also Julian’s grandfather. After Julian’s grandmother passed away, his grandfather
never remarried for life.
There were indeed many scumbags in this world, but there were also people who remained true to their
love for life. No matter what the final oue was between her and Julian, Annalise would never allow
Kent to nder Julian in front of her.
“Anna, when a girl marries someone, she still has to have a strong maiden family. Only then will her in-
laws. think highly of her,” Kent said tentatively.“Uncle Kent, what do you want to say?” Annalise raised
her eyes to look at Kent.
Kent said with a sincere expression, “Anna, no matter what, we’re rted by blood. We’re a true family.
Don’t be in a hurry to transfer the shares to your name. Otherwise, this will be the joint property
under Julian’s and your name.
“Think about it. When Julian married you, everything he owned still counted as his premarital assets. “If
you take away the shares of the Moonlight Group now and transfer the ownership now, it will be a
shared asset under both you and your husband’s name. After all, this is something you obtained only
after marriage.”
Annalise looked at Kent in amusement and said, “You don’t have to worry about this, Uncle Kent. The
70% shares of the Moonlight Group were given to me by my mother. They belong to me alone!”
Kent thought to himself that it must be that bastardwyer Zander Hayes who exined the intricacies
ofw inyperson’s terms to Annalise. Otherwise, how could a country bumpkin like Annalise, who
had never attended school, know this?
He smiled and said, “Anna, although you can say that, you don’t understand business management.
Julian will definitely help you manage it. At that point, if he has any crooked thoughts, he can
completely use some business methods to empty the Moonlight Group. By then, thepany will just
be an empty shell. It’s useless for you to hold the shares anymore.”
“Uncle Kent, don’t worry about this. I’ll hire a professional manager to take care of thepany.” Julian
was so busy. Of course, Annalise wouldn’t let him help her take care of thepany.
When she saw the look of displeasure on Kent’s face, Annalise added, “Of course, if you are willing, I
can hire you directly, Uncle Kent. Firstly, you’ve been running the Moonlight Group for years and are
very familiar with thepany’s projects. Secondly, you are also a shareholder of the Moonlight
Group.”

When Kent heard Annalise’s words, he cursed in his heart. Hire him? Was she worthy? Who did she
think she was? How infuriating! If it weren’t for the fact that Annalise had Julian behind her back, Kent
would have pped her right now to clear her mind. Who the hell was she to say something like hiring
him?
