    Chapter 365 How About a Bet


    Jennie froze as if she couldn''t believe what was happening.


    She locked her gaze on Wayne for a moment beforeing back to her senses and saying, "No.You


    need to coat it in egg first, then in the flour."


    "All right, I''L try."


    "There are disposable gloves over there.You should put them on."


    "Got it."


    At the same time, Anna sat on the couch, listening intently to the two conversing in the kitchen.


    And she felt much relieved now that Wayne gradually epted his mother.


    Everyone soon arrived for dinner.


    The dining room appeared to be very cozy as if it were Christmas.


    Because Anna and Wayne hadn''t yet married, Selina suggested that Anna stay at her house before the


    wedding.


    She might be able to leave after the wedding.


    "Anna is a lovely youngdy.So I''m confident that you''ll be very happy when you get married.I''ll be


    happy for you because you both trust and support each other." novelebook Selina said.


    Jennie nodded her head and said, "Yes, I know.Anna is a wonderful youngdy.Ryan has mentioned


    that the two of them have been through a lot together.So, I am happy that they''re getting married.I''ve


    always felt bad about not taking care of Wayne when he was a kid.But now, I’m already grateful and


    happy enough that I get to attend his wedding."


    Everyone was being sentimental, and Peter heated that.


    He interrupted them and said, "Okay, everyone.It''s a good day today, so let''s not bring up the sad


    memories anymore.Sometimes, life can be difficult.But we have a good life now, and that''s all that


    matters."


    Anna looked at Jennie and said, "Yes.You are wee to move in with Wayne and me after we


    marry.So we can spend more time together."


    Jennie froze for a moment and replied, "No, thanks.I''ll just live with my father."


    Peter grunted and said, "That''s not necessary.I''m used to living alone, and you''ve nevere back to


    see me in all these years! You can stay at their house and look after the kids, and then visit me when


    you are free."


    Peter was still bothered by the fact that Jennie hadn''t paid him a visit in all these years.


    As a result, he would bring it up once in a while and express his dissatisfaction.


    But he''d only allow himself toin about Jennie, and he''d be furious if anyone dared to criticize


    her.


    After a few days, Peace and Karl returned to Ennd from America.


    Anna wanted to pick them up at the airport, so she called Karl.


    But he refused her because his family wanted to celebrate with them at home.


    "Is your family supportive of your marriage?" Anna asked Karl over the phone.


    "I''ve told you for a long time that my mother and sister are good people."


    "You''d better not lie to your family! There is still a chance that Peace will rpse."


    Karl eximed, his voice shaking with excitement, "My parents are open-minded.I''ve told them about


    this whole thing, and they''ve given it some serious thought.Plus, they wouldn''t let me off the hook if I


    lied to them.They truly consider Peace to be their daughter-inw."


    Anna then heard Peace''s voice saying, "Shut up! I didn''t even agree to marry you!"


    Peace then grabbed the phone and said to Anna, "I''m just going to their house for a meal, and I won''t


    be there long.I might stay at your house for a few days."


    "Sure, you''re more than wee.But I guess you won''t leave their house." novelebook Anna said.


    She was genuinely happy for Peace.


    This time, Anna didn''t feel as worried as she did before after she hung up the phone.


    After that, she turned around and saw Ryan sitting on the couch, watching TV.


    She said, "Ryan, I''m going to the mall tonight to buy some stuff for the wedding.Will youe with


    me?"


    "Why don''t you bring my brother with you? I think it''s a little inappropriate for me to go with you, If you


    know what I mean."


    As she sat next to him, Anna said, "It was theirpany’s annual meetingst night.He was very drunk


    and came back home at the early hours.And he’s definitely dreaming now.So, I don’t think he will want


    to go with me."


    "Let''s take a bet! I''m sure he''ll be downstairs as soon as I say a few words."


    Anna shook her head, clearly unconvinced, and said, "No way! He''s exhausted and hasn''t even had


    lunch."


    Ryan smiled meaningfully, rolled up the magazine on the coffee table as a microphone, and yelled at


    Wayne who was in bedroom on the second floor, "Wayne! Are you going to the mall with Anna to buy


    wedding stuff? If you''re not, I''ll tell her what you''ve been nning recently!"


    Wayne didn''t answer.


    Anna said, folding her arms, "I told you! He''s been sleeping all day."


    At the same time, Ryan counted down while sticking out his fingers, "Five, four, three, two..."


    Before he could count to one, he heard someone on the second floor open the door.


    Wayne emerged from his bedroom, still in his pajamas.


    His hair was unkempt, but he seemed sober.


    "I''ll go," he said calmly.


    "Wow!"


    eximed Anna, stunned.


    Ryanughed and leaned back on the couch.


    Although Ryan didn''t spend much time with Wayne, he knew him very well.


    So, he made a bet with Anna just now because he was sure that he would win the bet.


    Wayne said he''d go.


    So Anna went upstairs with him to change their clothes.

    And Ryan sat alone in the living room, watching the news on TV, and his face became gloomy.


    On the TV, the anchor reported the news with a serious expression, "Arge amount of


    methamphetamine was discovered today in a suburban warehouse.It is connected to a drug case that


    urred two months ago in downtown Birmingham.Three of the drug traffickers were apprehended by


    police.The main perpetrator of their gang, they imed, is the same as the one in Birmingham.We don''t


    know what his real name is right now, but his nickname is Dragon."


    Ryan looked at the screen thoughtfully, and then thought of the news that happened half a month ago:


    Two people were killed in the suburb of Birmingham.


    The police blocked the news to avoid social panic.


    However, they told Ryan about the investigation of the incident.


    Dragon was the leader of a well-known drug cartel that had been in business for over 20 years.


    His brother was apprehended by police in Birmingham and sentenced to life imprisonment without


    probation.


    Enraged, Dragon killed two people in retaliation, both of whom were students at the military academy


    who had worked with Ryan to solve the drug case.


    Ryan felt heartbroken when he thought about it and even had tears in his eyes.


    Those two students were his ssmates, but they were murdered by criminals.


    As Anna and Wayne walked down the stairs, Ryan looked at her and warned, "There are wanted


    murderers on the loosetely, so be careful."
