Chapter 313


    Peter had just finished his dinner when he was informed that Gabe was back.


    Following that, Henry poured two cups of tea and ced them on the table.


    Peter looked Gabe in the eyes and asked directly, “You’ve been away from thepany for quite a


    while. What exactly were you doing for Wayne?”


    Gabe froze and asked, “Oh? Did you know about it?”


    He reasoned that since Peter was asking, he must have known what was going on. However, he still


    needed to ask and confirm his suspicions.


    “Tell me what’s up with Sophia York.” Peter sipped his tea, then frowned. He appeared to be very


    intimidating.


    Gabe was nervous and had to take a sip of tea to ease himself.


    Then he responded, “Wayne asked Leo to find him a surrogate woman six years ago. His n was that


    the woman would leave the country after giving birth to the child. But, by chance and coincidence, the


    woman did not go to the hotel that night. As a result, they let Sophia take her ce. After a few months,


    Sophia was pregnant. So, they agreed to let her have the baby.”


    Peter remained silent but appeared agitated. He then snarled, “What? This is outrageous!”


    Peter thought Wayne looking for a surrogate was ridiculous enough, let alone that they had the wrong


    person. 313 Did You Invite Her to the Pa.


    “Rest assured, Mr. Williams. Leo had previously paid Sophiapensation,” Gabe said carefully for


    Wayne.


    Peter became angrier, saying, “What? Does Wayne truly believes that money can solve all problems?”


    Embarrassed and flustered, Gabe kept his head down and drank his tea. And he quickly finished his


    cup of tea.


    At this point, Henry said in a low voice, “Gabe hasn’t finished yet, Sir. Don’t get angry just yet, okay?


    Let him tell us how he found her.”


    Peter nodded slightly after hearing that.


    Gabe sighed quietly in relief and said, “Wayne had a feeling that something was wrong a while ago, so


    he asked me to look into it. Later, | found that Sophia York turned out to be Matthew’s birth mother after


    a lengthy investigation. She was married but had no children. Her husband had terminal stomach


    cancer and only had six months to live.”


    Ovee by mixed emotions, Peter sighed, “We should help her.”


    Meanwhile, Gabe shook his head and said, “Wayne repeatedly asked me to give her money, but she


    refused it. She imed that she had no reason to get the money because her husband was doomed to


    die. Plus, she said that she would travel to America after her husband’s funeral to further her education.


    Sophia has never had children with her husband, and her only wish is to see Matthew before she goes


    abroad.”


    “Well, that makes sense. We should just let her have it,” Peter said.


    And then the housekeeper advised, “Peter, | believe that you should think twice before making your


    decision. Miss Gabriel will be upset if she knows that Matthew meets this woman.”


    Peter immediately frowned, realizing that it was indeed tricky. 313 Did You Invite Her to the Pa.


    After meeting Sophia, Anna was preupied with business and attending dinner parties for a few


    days. As a result, she spent most of her nights in hotels.


    She wasn’t actually that busy. She did so because she didn’t want to be alone with Wayne.


    Henry sent an invitation to Anna’spany for Peter’s birthday party, which was held before


    Christmas. He did this not only to show her his respect but also to make future business between them


    easier.


    When Mona handed Anna the invitation, she to her said cautiously, “Are you still upset with Wayne,


    Anna? So, will you attend his grandfather’s birthday party?”


    The purple-red evening sun had already entered the office through the window. And Anna noticed the


    invitation had Peter’s name on it in huge letters.


    “Did Waynee to thepany again this afternoon?” She asked.


    Mona immediately responded, “Yes. He had brought us afternoon tea a few days before. | didn’t give it


    to you because you said you didn’t want anything from him.”


    Hearing that, Anna thanked Mona with a nod.


    Wayne hade to Anna’s office every day when she hadn’t been home recently. And every time he


    arrived, he had his assistant bring plenty of food for the staff.


    Anna was exhausted, and it appeared that everyone around her began to support Matthew, wanting


    them two to reconcile with each other.


    Moreover, it made her seem like she was the one who was 313 Did You Invite Her to the Pa.


    unreasonable.


    With a sigh, Anna knew she had no choice but to attend this party. Also, she wanted to take this


    opportunity to talk things over with Wayne.


    She was determined that she wouldn’t let that liar take Matthew away from her.


    The next day, the Wrights hosted a party on the top floor of Birmingham’s most exclusive hotel.


    The venue was elegantly decorated with several circr tables next to the stage, keeping with the


    solemn yet joyful atmosphere.


    Peter was dressed formally in a ck suit and appeared energetic.


    As soon as Anna arrived there, Henry seated her at thergest table, next to Wayne.


    Anna believed that they had reserved this seat for her to show how much they valued her. It also


    allowed the guests to meet Anna and learn that she was Wayne’s future wife.


    “Hello, Anna,” Peter said as he smiled and greeted her.


    “Where are Matthew and Tammy?” Anna asked, nodding and looking past Wayne at her side to Peter.


    “The babysitter took them to the bathroom,” Wayne said before Peter could respond.


    Anna frowned and didn’t reply to him. She simply turned her head toward the restroom.


    She did this to avoid looking Wayne in the eyes and embarrassing herself. However, Anna didn’t


    expect to see a woman who shouldn’t have


    been there, which was Sophia. 313 Did You Invite Her to the Pa.


    People unfamiliar with the Wrights but eager to see them sat in an out-of-the-way corner of the


    ballroom. The majority of them were journalists who wanted to take photographs. And Anna spotted


    Sophia sitting there at a nce.


    Sophia was dressed in a beige gown that made her appear gentle. And like Anna, she was staring at


    the toilet


    Anxious, Anna felt like a hand suddenly grabbed her heart, preventing her from breathing. She


    immediately turned around and asked Wayne, “Did you invite her to the party?”


    Wayne went entirely still. He noticed Sophia when he followed her gaze.


    At the same time, Tammy and Matthew ran out of the bathroomughing, one after the other, with the


    nanny following close behind them.


    Seeing Anna, Tammy eximed, “Mommy!”


    The two little ones ran toward Anna the moment they saw her. Matthew dropped something he was


    holding in his hand as they ran past Sophia.

    Then Sophia knelt, picked the thing up, and handed it to Matthew.


    Seeing that, Anna clenched her fist and immediately became agitated.
