Chapter 189


    Wayne clicked on the email he received from Gabe, and then saw some photos. The first photo was a


    marriage certificate with two


    signatures with the date on the bottom, and the second one was a current marriage status of a U.S.


    citizen. Also, there were some family


    photos.


    There was a resume attached, and it belonged to a man called Jasper Thomas.


    He graduated from Yale University and became a famous designer. Also, it only took him three years to


    take his startup clothing


    Even Wayne had to admit that this man was very outstanding. But, what upset Wayne was that Anna


    and Jasper were together


    before Jasper became sessful. They married in the United States on Valentine’s Day four years


    ago.


    Wayne couldn’t find any other reason why she married this man except the fact that they loved each


    other.


    And, to this day, they hadn’t divorced.


    The room was terribly quiet, and Wayne could hear the water dripping from the bathroom faucet.


    After a long time, there was a loud “bang” in the room. Thergeputer smashed on the floor with a


    huge noise.


    Immediately afterwards, theputer was covered by various dark-coloured folders and thick books.


    The red wine ss was


    smashed on the wall, leaving a blood-red mark there. The broken pieces of the ss fell in the corner


    and shone a cold, saint light.


    The whole study turned into ruin in just a few seconds.


    A maid came immediately after hearing the sound. When she stood in the doorway and saw the scene,


    her face turned pale with fear.


    She said, “Sir, you…”


    “Get out.”


    “But, sir, your hand…”


    “Get out!!!”


    Wayne roared. There was a sudden thunderstorm outside the window, followed by heavy rain and


    lightning. Huge raindrops


    crackled down on the window, and the lightning light illuminated Wayne’s face, making him look like a


    gloomy ghost. The maid was so frightened by the sight that her whole face turned pale. She then


    stumbled, closed the door and left in a hurry.


    Wayne stood with a grim expression in ruins. The shards of the ss he had crushed pierced his hand,


    making blood sliding down his slender fingers. His scarlet blood dripped on the floor and became dark


    dry bloodstains.


    Karl dropped Peace off at her home as he held an umbre for her. He asked, “Anna’s dad is awake,


    isn’t he? So, when are we going


    camping? I think we should make a n.”


    “Yeah, right. I’ll ask Anna tomorrow. I think it should be okay, because the doctor said her dad is doing


    pretty well right now. If he recovers well, he can probably live for a few more years.”


    Karl asked with his jaw dropped,” “A few more years? My goodness, is that how youfort Anna?


    And she would listen to


    you?”


    Peace nced at him and said, “I don’t think there’s a problem with that. After all, this is what he


    deserves! Anna wouldn’t have lost


    her mother if he hadn’t cheated on her years ago! And, if Anna’s grandfather hadn’t died, he wouldn’t


    have taken her home.”


    “tunk her dad treated her pretty well. Besides, you can’t make sweeping conclusions about such


    things.”


    Peace said indignantly, “God, stop talking like that! Frank knew that woman killed Anna’s mother, but


    he still married her. He


    doesn’t deserve our sympathy”


    Karl wam’t surprised because he had beard what had happened to the Gabriels. Since Anna was a


    friend of Peace’s, he wanted to Know more about her family background. So, he did a little research on


    her


    Moreover, what had happened in that family belore had even made it to the newspaper. The difference


    between the newspaper and


    the inte was that once the news was printed, there was no way to retract it at all.


    At that time, the whole city was talking about the Gabriel family. Allie’s mom, who was pregnant at that


    time, went to Frank’s house


    when his wife was about to deliver a baby. Frank’s wife was so angry that she died before they could


    even take her to the hospital. And


    when the doctors cut open her belly, they found that her child was still alive.


    It was very absurd, so Frank would definitely be suspicious about that. However, he still married the


    mistress and let that poor


    daughter live with her mother’s family for a long time.


    Peace’s expression was indifferent. She snickered and said, “He was so nice to Anna because he felt


    guilty and wanted to redeem


    himself for it. But, even though he treated her like this, the damage he did to Anna could never be


    repaired. When she was a child, he also


    used her as a tool. And, none of them in her family was good people.”


    Anna’s mother, Olivia Gabriel, was very close to Anna’s aunt Selina. Also, their personalities were in


    stark contrast: Olivia was weak


    and coward, while Selina was tough and assertive. After Olivia’s death, everyone thought Selina was


    interested in raising Anna like she


    were her own daughter. However, no one expected that she would let Anna’s grandfather raise her.


    After Anna’s grandfather died, Selina


    kicked her out of the house straight away.

    However, Anna realized that Selina did this because she hated to see Frank live a rich and happy life


    yearster. Selina didn’t want


    him to forget his first wife, who died so tragically, so she sent Anna over to remind him that.


    Selina was still mad at Frank for the next few decades. Then, she finally got over it and stopped forcing


    Anna to stay by Frank’s side


    all the time. In this way, she gave Anna and Olivia a bted sense of belonging.


    Peace was not a member of the Gabriel family. Also, when Anna was suffering all those things in


    Birmingham, Peace did not know


    her. But, she was the only one who knew what was going on with Anna and understood her the best.


    She felt sorry for Anna, like she felt


    about herself.


    When Karl saw her indignant expression, he felt a surge of thrilling emotion.


    Peace‘s such a good girl! Maybel won‘t ever meet anyone as great as her in my life. I just want to give


    my whole world to her!

    thought to himsell.


    It was raining hard, and the umbre Karl was holding was like a shelter for her. Then, Karl said calmly


    and determinedly, “Peace


    Brooks, will you marry me?”


    He had that ring in his suit pocket for half a month. He never gave it to her before because he was


    waiting for a perfect moment


    when she made him thrilled and passionate the most.


    Peacefrore for a moment, and then subconsciously took a step back. At that moment, raindrops sell on


    her back.


    Kaitseached his umbre over to shield her from the rain. Then, he reached his other hand into his suit


    pocket.


    Peace suddenly stopped him by saying, “Oh, dear God! Don’t take it out! Karl, if you give me that ring,


    I’ll break up with you


    Kan looked stunned as if he didn’t believe what she was saying. He said hesitantly, “Peace, you…”


    “it’ste. Maybe we‘ve talked too much tonight, and that made you think too much. I’m going home


    now, Karl. Bye.”


    Peale spoke quickly as if she was in a hurry to end something. After saying that, she was about to


    leave. But, Karl grabbed her


    wisi


    “Hey! let go of mel”


    Kari held her wrist and refused to let go. Then, he said firmly, as he had never done before, “Peace


    Brooks, what are you doing? You


    know that I love you like crazy. I‘ve already quit smoking, drinking, and flirting with other women as you


    told me to. I’ve done everything


    you want, whether I can do it or not. And I only want one thing from you, and that’s to marry me.”
