Chapter 129


    “Are you sure he’s Pearson? Did you mistake him for someone else?” “It’s really him! I saw his face


    clearly.”


    It was alreadyte at night. On the first floor of a vi, Jason looked at Ada suspiciously and took the


    ss of wine from her hand.


    He said, “Well, stop drinking. Even if that guy is really him, it doesn’t matter. If Wayne is still willing to


    see you, that means Pearson didn’t say anything about what we did to him yet. We can make a deal


    with him.”


    Ada suddenly snapped back to her senses. She looked a bit drunk.


    Looking at Jason, her manager, she said, “Do you think that he went to Wayne on purpose? Is he trying


    to threaten me with this?”


    “He must have been trying to do that! He loves money, and he must have wanted to use it to ask us for


    money. Besides, he has no evidence about what happened that night.”


    “What should we do now?”


    “I think, rather than avoiding him, we should find him and make a deal with him. You know, money


    talks.”


    Ada slowly calmed down after seeing such a determined look on Jason’s face. She thought, Yes,


    Pearson loves money so much. He won‘t refuse me.


    Early the following day, Anna was awakened by the rm clock. When she woke up and saw the clock


    on the wall, she immediately jumped up from the bed and eximed, “Oh my God! It’s already 8:30!”


    Wayne came out of the living room. He was wearing a white shirt and brown suit pants, and he had a


    cup of coffee in his hand. He looked at her calmly and said, “You have twenty-five minutes to get


    dressed.”


    Anna scratched her hair and looked frantic.


    She walked off the bed and scolded Wayne as she looked for her clothes, “Damn, Wayne, it’s all


    because of you!”


    “What did I do?” Wayne asked teasingly as he sipped his coffee.


    Anna pulled a zer and zer skirt out of her closet. She red at him and said, “Why didn’t you


    wake me up?”


    “Hey, I‘m your boyfriend Of course I hope that you can sleep a little longer.”


    “Then if I’mte, can you not scold me? Can you do that?” Anna rolled her eyes at him and went into


    the bathroom with her clothes in her arms


    Wayne said, “I’m your boss, I’m supposed to be strict with you.” Anna said, somewhat annoyed, “Wow,


    you can really switch between these two roles.” “You‘re wee.” Anna solled her eyes. She scolded


    him in her mind and sat in front of the mirror to do a quick


    makeup


    As she walked out of the bedroom, she identally stepped on the dress that Wayne had given her


    last night.


    She frowned and asked, “What am I supposed to do with this dress?” “I’ll have the waiterse by


    later and take it to the tailor.”


    “Can it be repaired?” Anna didn’t think so. The dress was ripped and wrinkled, and it looked like it


    would be hard to get sewn back together.


    “That doesn’t matter. We should keep it as a souvenir.” Anna was confused and asked, “What? Why?”


    “In memory ofst night.”


    Anna froze for a few seconds, and her face instantly flushed. She quickly left the room like she was


    running away.


    She strongly suspected that Wayne had not had sex for too long before. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be this


    horny and want to make love to her every moment in every corner of this hotel after they confirmed


    their rtionship.


    They had to show the foreign guests around a park in the city that day. The park was not far from the


    hotel, about a ten-minute drive away.


    Anna told them about the history of the park and the sculptures inside.


    Hans and Jennifer both liked Anna a lot. They admired her after learning that she had lived abroad


    alone with her daughter for five years.


    “It must be hard to live alone in a foreign country and to take care of a child. Anna, you are really


    amazing.”


    Jennifer took Anna’s hand and looked in awe at her.

    “We were doing okay there and had a really good time. We came back here mostly because we missed


    our country.”


    Jennifer smiled kindly and said, “I like your country, too. You’re right, life did treat you well. As soon as


    you got back here, you met Mr. Wright. True love is very rare and precious.”


    “Yes, it is.” Anna looked over to Wayne, who was standing at a distance. She couldn’t help but smile


    when she saw that Wayne was discussing the construction of the stone bridge with Hans


    To wee foreign guests, the hotel held a particr open-air cocktail party in the evening on the big


    lawn right in front of it.


    Jennifer wore avender evening gown and looked very elegant. She said, “Mr. Wright, Miss Gabriel,


    I’d like to introduce you to a good friend of mine. She lives here too.”


    “I’m looking forward to getting to know her.” Anna said.


    “Here she is.” Jennifer smiled very happily and waved her hand in the direction of the far entrance


    Anna saw a person in a ck dress approaching them. Her ck silk gown was studded with ck


    sequins that made her look like a glowing mermaid in the light


    Anna froze and said, “Peace …


    Peace, however, was not surprised at all. She smiled and exined to them, “Anna, Jennife is my


    friend and a big fan of my store. Jennifer, Anna is my best friend. So, when I heard you sa the party


    was going to be held here, I knew I would meet her.”


    Peace was a fashion designer and knew many friends from abroad. However, Anna didn’t think she


    would know Jennifer.


    After they made some small talk, Jennifer left to find Hans.


    “By the way, Peace, Karl willeter too.” Anna suddenly remembered this matter and said.


    After saying that, she looked back at Wayne and asked, “Right?” Wayne nodded slightly.


    This cocktail party was private, but since Karl was apany shareholder, he mighte too.


    Peace, however, rolled her eyes and acted nonchntly, “None of my business.” Anna sighed and


    asked, “Did you guys have another fight? What happened?” “We didn’t just have a fight this time. We


    broke up for good.” Peace said. “You broke up?” Anna asked hesitantly. Peace raised her eyebrows


    and said, “That’s right.” Anna and Wayne looked at each other, both knowing what each other meant.


    After Peace and Karl were in a rtionship, they often broke up. So, Anna and Wayne didn’t know if


    they had really broken up this time or if they were just having a cold war.


    Not far away, a man walked in. He saw them and came towards them.


    After seeing him, Anna tugged Wayne’s sleeve and said, “Peace, Wayne and I will go over there to


    entertain the guests. Can you stay here by yourself?”


    Peace waved her hand to them and said, “No problem. Go ahead. I didn’te alone.” “Huh? Who


    else came to the party with you?” Anna froze and asked.
