Chapter 33


    Gabe immediately stopped talking under Wayne’s dark gaze, fastening his seatbelt silently and starting


    the car.


    It was not difficult for Gabe to figure it out. Anna Gabriel has a bet with boss. If she can‘t achieve the


    KPL in three months, she has to leave the hotel. All the interviewers present that day were the


    witnesses of the bet. Although Anna has gained great performance since she started working here, it is


    still far away from the target she promised. After two months passing and staying in hotel for a while,


    she doesn‘t have much time left. It seems that she won‘t be able to reach her goal. Then boss lets her


    take charge of the anniversary, which means that she will have two more months and she can take


    credit for the achievements of the anniversary.


    But the thing that Gabe couldn’t figure out was why his boss paid so much attention to Anna Gabriel. Is


    it only because she saved his son?


    “Boss, didn’t you say you were satisfied with the driver’s skills? Why did you suddenly want to fire


    him?”


    “He talks too much.”


    Gabe didn’t dare to ask more and started feeling worried because he talked too much too.


    Out of Anna’s expectation, after she took over the task of nning the anniversary, her superior,


    Manager Kaley Williams, turned most of her job in the hotel lobby over to others so that she could fully


    concentrate on the n.


    “Anna, none of the people in the nning department met Mr. Wright’s standard, but you did. He was


    impressed by your capability. You have to work hard and do a great job. This is also an honor for our


    hotel.”


    Kaley Williams didn’t teach her much in normal times, but she seemed to sit up and notice her after the


    meeting, which made Anna feel ttered.


    She said, “I’ll try my best.” Hence, she was running around here and there for the next whole week.


    She had never nned an anniversary before, so she decided to see how otherpanies or


    shopping malls nned their celebration events to get a sense of what she could do.


    “Miss, anything I can do for you?”


    Anna turned around and saw an attendant of the shopping mall looking at her politely but alertly.


    Anna had taken a lot of photos with her phone. The attendant must think that she was apetitor or


    an officer from the government. She soon put away her phone and answered calmly, “Nothing. I’m just


    looking around. Where are the jewelry stores in the shopping mall?”


    The attendant hesitated and pointed to a direction, “There.”


    Anna thanked her and directly went towards the jewelry stores, ignoring the attendant’s doubtful gaze.


    She knew people would pay attention to her if she took too many photos, so she got prepared.


    In a jewelry store, the manager wearing a pair of gloves took a ne that Anna gave to her. The


    ne had a silver Singapore chain with a clear emerald dangling from it. The emerald was


    surrounded by a cluster of diamonds, dazzling.


    “This is one of our products.” “Really?” Anna tried to restrain her excitement, “Was it sold in this store?”


    “The Singapore chain is one of our ssic styles. And here,” the manager pointed at the sp of the


    silver chain, “there is a logo of our brand carved at this ce, just like every other piece of jewelry in


    our store, though the logo is quite small and inconspicuous.”


    “Then do many people buy this ne in your store?”


    The manager shook her head and smiled, “This is the best emerald with an old age and a really high


    value. We don’t have this kind of emerald in the store, so the customer must’ve brought the gemstone


    here and let us customize it.”


    Anna asked happily, “Can you find out who the customer was?” “It must be a long time ago. It’ll take


    some efforts to find out. I’ll try my best.” Anna kept thanking her.


    “You’re wee. Here you are. To be honest, this is the first time that I have seen such a fine emerald


    since I worked here many years ago. I think there must be a record for it.”


    After packing up her ne, she walked out of the store with a thrill of excitement.


    Five years ago, she gave birth to two children in Birmingham. She took Tammy with her, and the other


    one was taken away by the doctor. She had been hoping that she could find that child back. The only


    clue she had was the ne. She pulled it from the man’s neck at that night.


    She couldn’t help but shiver whenever she thought of that night six years ago.


    While she was thinking wildly, a woman in green suddenly stood in her way, “Anna Gabriel.” The voice


    was soft but acerbic.


    Anna subconsciously raised her head. Her face changed slightly when she saw clearly who the woman


    was.


    “It’s really you. I thought it was my illusion.” The woman sneered at her and folded her arms. She said


    sarcastically, “You haven’t been back for five years and never contacted us. We thought you died


    somewhere.”


    The woman was Anna’s half-sister, Allie Gabriel. She always spoke with an air of superiority. It seemed


    that her arrogance and her vicious tongue had be even worse than years before.


    Anna quickly calmed down and gave her a cold stare, “Apparently, I haven’t died yet.

    Are you disappointed?”


    “Why should I feel disappointed?” Allie kept talking in a sharp tone, “Have you been back for a long


    time? Imagine how disappointed dad will be if he knows that you aren’t willing to tell him that you are


    back. His beloved daughter easily gave up her family and went away. Now she’se back without


    telling anyone. I guess home only means a ce to sleep in for you.”


    “That’s between me and dad. It’s none of your business.”


    raised her chin and gave Anna a sidelong nce, “Who knows what kind of people you have been


    hanging out with? You said you were going away to study. You must be kidding. You haven’t even


    finished your college. What kind of courses can you take? Only dad would believe in this nonsense.”


    Anna clenched her fists after hearing Allie’s nasty words. She sneered, “If I haven’t learned anything at


    all and fooled around with men, you must feel happy. Your mom and you willugh in your dreams if I


    don’t scramble for dad’s money with you, won’t you?”


    Allie suddenly went pale, “That’s a tant nder.” “You know better than me whether it is a nder.”


    Anna warned her coldly.


    “It’s only up to me whether I go back or not. You are only my half-sister. Don’t pretend to be a real sister


    and give me orders. I’m not a little girl anymore. You can’t bully me even if your dear mommy can


    protect you.”


    Allie was livid with rage, “Who do you think you are talking to? You…” “Get the hell out of my way.”

    Anna pushed curtly past Allie. Almost falling to the ground, she stamped her feet behind Anna and


    shouted, “Anna Gabriel, just you wait! I’ll let you have a good time if you dare toe back one day!”
