Chapter 880 Send You to Hell
At Jimmy’s insistence, Bryce logged in to the company forum and made a solemn declaration that he would take care of Anna not because of any romantic feelings but because she was his neighbor, whom he treated like a little sister.
With this announcement, those who had previously mocked and ridiculed Anna were left red-faced.
Knowing that Bryce was her neighbor, the employees were envious and some even made up their minds to establish good relationships with her.
During training break time, several trainees gathered around Anna and surrounded her.
“Anna, we never knew you lived next door to Bryce. You’re so lucky to have such a handsome and wealthy man as your neighbor,” Charlee said first with an envious look on her face.
“Yeah! We never thought you’d be hiding such a big secret. Does your house cost millions too?” another trainee asked eagerly.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Anna felt helpless in the face of everyone’s inquiries. She didn’t expect Bryce’s statement would lead to even greater misunderstandings about herself being his neighbor.
“Anna, since you’re not Bryce’s girlfriend, can you… Can you create an opportunity for me to get along with him? I… I like men like him.” Charlee looked at Anna shyly.
“I’m sorry but I can’t,” Anna sighed heavily in response to Charlee’s request for help getting closer to Bryce.
Charlee looked disappointed but still forced a smile on her face due to Anna’s relationship with Bryce.
“Anna, how much is your house worth?” another trainee asked again before Mia let out an annoyed snort that caught everyone’s attention since they all knew she was Anna’s closest friends.
“Mia! You’ve been over at Anna’s place before right? Is it beautiful? Spacious? Well-decorated?” The other trainees turned their attention towards Mia.
Mia walked up in front of everyone with sarcasm written all over her pretty face.
“Some things cannot be judged by appearances. I am not sure how much her house is worth, but what I do know is that some people try to show off and confuse others in order to hide their own shameful secrets.”
Just after reading Bryce’s statement, Mia said in a sarcastic tone, with a hint of disdain and contempt in her eyes, which fell on Anna.
She really wanted to tell everyone about Anna’s unbearable family situation, but she decided to keep it to herself for now because she knew Jimmy could fire her at any moment.
However, the jealousy in Mia’s heart made her face twisted with a grimace. Her once delicate and pretty face now looked terrifying, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Several trainees sensed that Mia was acting abnormally.
“Aren’t you two best friends? Mia, you must be very familiar with Anna’s family situation. Could you tell us about it and let us understand her life of luxury?”
Two trainees came up to Mia and joked around.
Mia glanced at Anna.
“I dare not tell the truth, otherwise I will be given a hard time,” Mia said sarcastically.
Her words made several trainees confused and raised doubts about the neighbors mentioned in Bryce’s statement.
They wanted to ask further, but they saw the angry look in Mia’s eyes staring at Anna.
Feeling that something was amiss, they all made excuses and left the lounge.
The person who had been constantly questioning herself finally left, and Anna breathed a sigh of relief. A faint smile finally appeared on her face.
However, Mia walked up to her at this moment with a gloomy expression on her face.
“Don’t think that you won, the reason why I didn’t say your unbearable family is just to save you some face. I won’t lose, sooner or later, I will get all I want,” Mia said coldly, then walked out of the lounge without looking back.”
Anna, I will definitely not let you have an easy time.
As Mia left the lounge, she squinted her eyes slightly. Would she have to swallow her pride like this if it weren’t for Jimmy?
When Jimmy got fed up with you, I would send you to Hell!
The fierce look in Mia’s eyes made her appear very scary.
In the next few days, Anna has been practicing hard at the company, and thanks to Bryce’s statement, she had a few peaceful days.
On the weekend, she finally had time to visit her father in the hospital.
Seeing her father gradually recovering and his complexion improving, Anna’s face lit up with a brilliant smile.
She pushed her father to the small garden behind the hospital where a faint floral fragrance filled the air. Mr. Miller breathed in the fresh air outside and also had a smile on his face.
Anna squatted down in front of her father’s wheelchair, covered him with a thin blanket, and then took his hand and asked softly, “Dad, did I disappear for some time when I was little?”
Mr. Miller was taken aback by this sudden question from his beloved daughter but didn’t hide anything from her as he nodded.
“Do you remember anything?” Mr. Miller asked.
Facing Mr. Miller’s inquiry, Anna shook her head and said, “Dad, can you tell me something about my disappearance? All I know is that when I disappeared, someone saved me but I can’t remember anything else.”
Anna told Mr. Miller everything Jimmy had told her, hoping to get more information about what happened during that time she disappeared.
Mr. Miller tried hard to recall what happened back then.
“When I found you,” he said slowly, “you were indeed saved by the Harrisons who took good care of you.”
“I thought that I would never find my precious daughter again but fate was kind enough to let me find you.”
Recalling those days made Mr. Miller feel warm inside as he couldn’t imagine what would have happened if the Harrisons hadn’t saved his daughter.
“So why don’t I remember any of it?” Anna asked anxiously.
Mr. Miller sighed deeply before answering, “You were missing for almost half a year. When I found you to take you home, you got sick and woke up forgetting everything that happened when you disappeared, and I wanted to take you personally to thank the Harrisons who kindly saved you after you recovered from your illness, but…”
Mr. Miller looked helpless as he continued speaking, “Your older brother has been causing too much trouble leaving me no choice but delay our visit until now.”
“However,” He added seriously, “you’ve finally found your savers, you must thank them properly.” Mr. Miller instructed.
Anna’s mind conjured up Jimmy’s intense gaze upon her.
Besides herself, it seemed he didn’t require any other form of repayment. But… could she really be happy with someone as regal as him for the rest of her life?
Anna was lost in confusion.
