Selina didn’t seem surprised as if she had known he would say that. However, her expression was even more indifferent.
She said, “You want me to stay out of your family’s business? Fine, I happen to be not interested in it. But, I want to know that since
you won’t live long, how will you deal with your money? How much money are you going to give Anna? Anna is a bit embarrassed to ask
for money, just like her mom. So, as her aunt, i’ll ask you for her.”
When Olivia died twenty-five years ago, Selina lost all her expectations of Frank. She felt that he was an irresponsible man who
abandoned his wife. However, she thought that Anna should get the money she deserved as his daughter. If Olivia hadn’t given Frank the
money, he wouldn’t have been able to start his own company.
At that moment, the room was quiet. Everyone was concerned about what Frank would do with his money and property because it
would determine how much they would get. Among them, Shirley and Allie were the most concerned about this issue.
“I’ve already given Anna what she deserves,” Frank said sorrowfully.
“Dad, what did you give her?” Allie blurted out and looked impatient.
Frank looked up at her with a cold gaze. He said, “I gave Lemon Clothing Company to Anna.”
“Lemon?” said Allie, who didn’t even know there was such a company in the group. When she was about to ask more questions,
Shirley tugged her and told her to shut up.
Only she knew that Frank kept that company because he wanted to keep it as a memento for Olivia. However, this company was
doing very poorly and was barely surviving on the money given by the head office. If Frank gave this company to Anna, it could save them
big trouble.
Anna took Selina’s hand and said, “Auntie, it’s okay. This is my mother’s company, and I really like it. That’s the only thing I want.
Okay, let’s go.”
Selina frowned after hearing her words and finally said, “Fine.”
Before leaving, Anna looked at Frank and said, “Bye, Dad. I hope you can be happy and healthy every day.”
Frank didn’t look up at her but kept his head down in thought. If Anna had looked closely at him, she would have seen that his eyes
were red and looked very depressed.
Anna and Selina then walked out of the hospital, and neither mentioned what had just happened.
“Selina, what brings you to the hospital?” Anna asked.
“Oh, I came to get my medicine, but my doctor wasn’t there. I just happened to hear that your father was staying in the hospital. I
was going to mock him, but I have no idea he was leaving today.”
Anna smiled and asked, “Really? What a coincidence! But, who dares to mention my father in front of you?”
Anna thought to herself, il Selina hadn‘t asked about it, who would have dared to mention my dad in front of her? There‘s no such
thing as a coincidence in this world. But, some people just love to arrange “coincidences
Setina glared at her and said, “Okay, let’s not talk about ine. Tell me, why do you only want that crappy company?”
“Oh, because it’s my mom’s company! It’s the only thing that means a lot to me.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Selina saldimtably, “What? I hope you’re joking with me, Anna. Howinuch does that so called ‘meaning’ worth? You and your
mother ateso alike, and she’s so into this kind of shallow stuff. Have you ever thought about what will happen if you let this company go
under”
“Tell me, how did my mother start the company then? Did she have a good beginning?”
Selina bristled and said, “Of course not to be honest, she was totally not built for doing business. At that time, your grandfather
often helped her with that. But she just wanted to give the money to your father! Your grandlather didn’t agree on your parents’
marriage. So, your mother held a grudge against him. Later on, you were born.”
Then Selina stopped talking, feeling upset and remorseful. She had experienced the pain of someone she knew dying in front of her,
so she had a complicated feeling.
Anna was born prematurely. And Olivia bled heavily just as she got out of the hospital room, and the doctors failed to save her. So,
Olivia died in the arms of her best friend, Selina. At that time, Selina was already married to her brother.
Olivia died so suddenly that she didn’t even see her father one last time.
So, it became Anna’s grandfather’s biggest trauma. He had a total of three children, and he loved his youngest daughter Olivia the
most. She was only in her twenties when she died.
Anna’s grandfather was healthy before Olivia’s death. However, after Olivia’s death, he got sick because of his grief. Later, he could no
longer take care of Anna, who was still a child. And not long after that, he died.
When Olivia died, Selina was already pregnant for more than two months. She and Joe tried for so long and she finally conceived,
and she didn’t even tell her family the news. However, the baby was miscarried because she was shocked by Olivia’s death. After that, she
was never able to have another child.
And the tragedies that happened to three families were all caused by Frank, who was so busy cheating on Olivia at that time that it
took him a long time to notice it.
It was not until hearing Selina’s words that Anna understood the friendship between Selina and her mother many years later.
The chef of Gabriel’s house prepared a sumptuous lunch for Frank to welcome him home. The delicious aroma of the meal was all
over the villa.
“Frank, look, these are all your favorite. Please take a seat.” Shirley pulled out a chair for Frank and invited him to sit down by the
table.
However, Frank put his fork down right after taking a bite of the food.
Allie asked nervously, “Dad, what’s wrong? Is it not good i’ll have them make you some more food.”
Frank coughed, got up, and said, “No, thanks. I’m feeling a little tired, so I’m going to my room. If Mr. Lee comes later, tell him to see
me in my study.”
Allie was a little stunned to see how exhausted, and weak her father was. She said, “Oh, okay.”
Minutes later, a clear sound of a door closing came from the study on the second floor. Then, the living room became quiet.
Shirley asked the maid to clean up the flowers in the corner and then brought out a plate from the kitchen. There was a spoon and a
bowl of soup on that plate.
Your father didn’t eat anything. Allie, send this soup to him.”
Alle looked at the bowl and asked, “Mom, is it just some soup?”
Shirley lared at her daughter, lowered her voice, and said, “Of course! What else could it be? Allie, there are a lot of people here, so
don’t talk nons-ny. Sind this over to turn.”
Sting the look in her mother’s eyes, Allie know there was definitely something else in this soup.
Alte monediately bei amellustered. She said, “Mom, Dad’s already sick. I think, let’s stop…””
Shirley interrupted her daughter and said, “Silly wri! Do you know what Mr. Lee is going to do here later? Making a will! He’s going to
help your father make his will I don’t think that he will just give Anna that small company. If we don’t act before he makes his will, then
weave not stop **
** won’t happen! Mom, you know he’s not that kind of person.”

With that, sanatatud the plate from Alle and went straight upstairs
Alle bit her tipo. She was about to stop her mother when she heard the sound of the doorbell behind her. It was Mr. Lee arriving.
“Is Mr. Gabriel here?” Asked Mr. Iee.
