Sweet Temptation Chapter 139: Silver Lining
(Anna's POV)The room became completely silent.For a few seconds, nobody seemed to know what to say.I placed another document on the table.Then another.“Anderson Corporation was not built by one family.”Several board members leaned forward.Richard's face hardened.I continued.“It was built by two families.”Mr. Holt's eyes widened.Richard whispered,“Stop.”I ignored him.“The Anderson family was not the only founding family.”A board member stood.“What are you saying?”I looked directly at him.“I am saying that the second founding family was mine, built alongside by my grandfather Christopher Chen."I raised my chin.“And I am his heir.”The room exploded into chaos.Then everyone started talking at once.“What exactly is she claiming?”“This is absurd.”“Are those documents authentic?”“Richard, what is going on?”“Call security!”“Wait!

(Anna's POV)I could hear my own heartbeat.It was so loud that, for a moment, I wondered if Richard could hear it too.I sat across from him, trying my best to keep my face calm while every part of my body screamed at me to run.He leaned back in his chair and studied me.“You wanted to make a deal,” he said.“Yes.”His eyes narrowed.“A deal about what?”“Daniel.”The faint smile on his face disappeared.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.Then he slowly leaned forward.“You finally understand your position.”I clenched my fingers beneath the table.“I understand that my brother is being held because of me.”Richard smiled again.“Good. Then this conversation should be easy.”I forced myself not to look away.Daniel needed me.And I would do anything to bring him home.Even sit across from the man who had destroyed almost every part of my life.Richard folded his hands on the table.“You let me speak to him first.”His eyes became colder.“You don't trust me?”“No.”A short sile

You're the reason he's in this condition after all." I could hear the mockery in his voice."What do you want?"There was a brief silence."You already know what I want." He finally answered.Karl gave me a signal to ask him where to meet up."Let's meet up."There was another silence."Where?""Somewhere private." I said."When?""Now."He chuckled."I'll call you with the location."I ended the call before he could say anything else.I looked at Karl.Just then my phone buzzed.*Langham Hotel*Richard had sent the location.That was when Karl brought out some devices and gave them to me.He showed me how it worked. He explained everything clearly and simply because he knew I was already under a lot of pressure and didn't need complicated technical details.“When you get within about two feet of
