Chapter 307
Anna grabbed his ss and said, “Leon, you should stop drinking. And we should leave now.”
Then Anna went to the reception, take out her card and tried to pay the bill. But Leon stopped her.
He handed the waiter his credit card and said, “II pay it! I can’t let you buy me dinner.”
Anna smiled, resigned, and asked the waiter to take him into the car and drive him back to the hotel.
When she looked in the rearview mirror, Anna noticed Leon, who was in the back seat. His face was
flushed from the alcohol, and he was mumbling something.
Anna shook her head, asking, “You haven’t had much to drink, have you? Why are you so drunk?”
Leon clung to his hug pillow before saying, “Chris, | promise you. I’m never going to drink again.”
Hearing that, Anna sighed.
Several minutester, she told the bellhop to take Leon upstairs after she pulled up in front of the hotel.
She then took the room key from his jacket pocket and pushed open the door.
Having made sure that the waiterid Leon down on the bed, Anna switched on the lights and then
shut the curtains.
After that, Anna turned on the air conditioner and poured another ss of water for him, which she
ced by his bedside.

She was aware that many celebrities rose to prominence through 307 He Lied Y chances. She thought
Leon’s story was very sad, almost as if fate deliberately yed a joke on them.
On the other hand, Anna believed that he wasn’t lying because no one would make up such a
ridiculous story to gain sympathy from others. Anna stood at the curb to call a cab after leaving the
hotel. While she was still immersed in Leon’s sad story, she saw Wayne standing across the street
Because it was so dark, Anna thought she had got the wrong person. She could see, however, that
Wayne was still wearing the ck coat she had given him earlier in the day.
Wayne had just gotten out of a taxi. And Anna started to dash to the crosswalk and attempted to speak
with him.
Just as Anna was about to cross the street, the traffic light turned red. While she was standing still and
waiting, she called Wayne.
At that precise moment, Anna noticed another woman walking out of the same cab. They then
proceeded to walk shoulder to shoulder toward the mall.
Although Anna was far away, she could see Wayne take his cell phone from his pocket. And she could
see the woman next to him staring at his phone screen.
As soon as she got through to Wayne, Anna asked a bit anxiously, “ Where are you, Wayne?”
“’m working overtime at thepany. What’s wrong, Anna?”
Anna tightened her grip on the phone and said, “Really? But howe I can hear car horns?”
“Well, I’m downstairs buying dinner,” Wayne replied.
“You haven’t eaten yet? How about |e to get you? It’ste; you 307 He Lied a should stop
working.” Anna pinched her thighs, trying to devise an excuse for Wayne.
However, she really couldn’t think of any.
Instead, Wayne replied, “No, thanks. Anna, don’t wait up for me. I’ll be backter tonight. Bye.”
Wayne then hung up the phone as if he didn’t want to talk to her anymore.
At the same time, Anna gripped the phone tightly and turned to face the man and woman across the
street. She didn’t like to think of the worst-case scenario, but Wayne was obviously lying to her.
And she could tell that he was trying to conceal something.
Passers-by began to cross the street once the light turned green. Anna dashed through the crowd, and
then ran after them into the mall.
Anna had no idea where to go after walking into the mall. She stood in the doorway, looking at the
elevators, flustered and confused, unsure of what she was supposed to do.
As the cell phone in her pocket was vibrating and that people around her were staring at him, she
answered the phone as soon as she saw it was Peace calling.
“Anna, where are you? Are you in Birmingham?” Peace asked with concern.
Anna frowned, and then still looked around, trying to find Wayne.
“Yes.”
Peace said anxiously, “Well, I need to tell you something. Karl said that Wayne has found Matthew’s
mother.”
Anna’s eyes widened in surprise, and she asked aloud, “What? How?
What are you talking about?” 307 He Lied a
RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Peace said, “Easy, Anna. | don’t believe what Karl said either, because Matthew is your child. Well, Karl
just told me that Wayne found Matthew’s birth mother and met with her. He said that the woman took
the initiative to meet Wayne.”
Anna frowned and said, “That can’t be true! She must be a liar!”
Peace was silent for a moment before saying, “So, have you ever thought of what if she isn’t a liar? Are
you certain that the man back then was Wayne? Honey, you can’t tell if the man is him just by his
ne. Besides, he imed to have misced the ne for a long time and had no idea when
he did.”
Anna stood in the noisy crowd and found Peace’s words very confusing. She said, “No, let me think
about it! I’m pretty sure Matthew is my kid.”
Anna was certain Matthew was her child because the jewelry store clerk said the ne belonged to
Wayne. And Wayne did get a surrogate to have his child
Anna wasn’t sure if Wayne had ever lost the ne, and there wasn’t enough evidence to prove he
was the man.
As Anna panicked, Peace asked, “Don’t worry, honey. Did you and Matthew ever take a paternity test?”
“Oh, yes, I’ve done it before,” Anna said as she gradually calmed down.
It was done in secretly by Charlotte, not by her. That report confirmed that Wayne was Tammy’s father.
However, Anna had just forgotten about it out of panic,
Peace said anxiously, “Oh my goodness, that woman is a liar! Anna, you must be more cautious these
days. It always struck me as odd, and Karl exined that Wayne had his assistant investigate
Matthew’s mother, 307 He Lied
and it turned out that there was something wrong with that.”
“What? What’s the problem?”
“That’s the point of the problem because Karl won’t talk to me about what happened afterward. He said
he was afraid it would ruin your rtionship with Wayne.”
Anna froze, and then a shiver ran down her spine.
She thought that because Wayne discovered something was wrong with that incident, he knew it
wasn’t the surrogate mother who gave birth to Matthew. And, just as Wayne was about to discover the
truth, this woman appeared out of nowhere.
Anna had the impression that an invisible hand was pushing them, making everything go wrong
Moreover, she felt as if God was just joking with her.
