Semua Bab The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye: Bab 341 - Bab 350

Fiona gasped. "Did you see the document I gave you, Tobe? Joaquin could very well be Klaus, and Klaus is a cunning businessman. What if you let him invest in the project and he withdraws his funding halfway through?"Tobias said, "I've sent my men to Amestria to investigate it, Mom. Joaquin and Klaus aren't the same person."Fiona saw how confident Tobias looked and knew there was no changing his mind. So, she asked, "Why would you let Joaquin invest two-thirds of the project, Tobe? Hawkins Group could invest just as much, too!"Tobias responded, "You're aware of how we're related, Mom. A lot of people wanted a share of the project and have done everything they could to get their hands on it. If I allow my own family to take the majority of the project funding, I'm afraid I'll be inviting the public's wrath."Fiona thought about it and found that Tobias had made a good point. So, she took a step back and nodded. "Alright. Let's do it your way. As for the division of the profits, le

Anna said, "Let's go over there. We can take a break and have some milkshakes, Lucy."Lucy wasn't keen on entertaining Anna. She asked Agatha, "Are you thirsty, Grandma? Do you want to take a break?"Agatha responded, "You're pregnant, Lucy. You must've been tired after we shopped for so long. Let's take a seat and rest a little. You should order a hot beverage, though. You can't have milkshakes."Lucy nodded. "Gotcha." Then, she wheeled Agatha and walked toward the smoothie and shake bar. She didn't notice the crazy look in Anna's eyes. The latter swiftly composed herself and followed them.Lucy said, "I ordered two glasses of hot milk for myself and Grandma, Ms. Lane. Go ahead and order anything you want for yourself."Anna responded, "Okay."Lucy took two glasses of hot milk and sat next to Agatha. "You must be thirsty as well, Grandma. Have some milk.""Okay." Agatha took the glass of hot milk from Lucy. She had just taken a sip when she suddenly coughed. Lucy gasped and pat

Lucy's expression grew solemn. She thought back to everything she knew about Hannah. She'd never considered that Hannah was Anna. Lucy also found Hannah to possess similar eyes to Anna's. However, Anna had died in prison. More to the point, Hannah's face, figure, and voice were different from Anna's. Perhaps it was a coincidence that they had similar eyes.Lucy said, "I think we're overthinking it, Grandma. Anna is dead. How could she be alive and walking among us?""I guess so." Agatha looked exhausted. She'd barely sat in the car for a while before she fell asleep.Once they arrived at Ripley Residence, Lucy asked the bodyguard to carry Agatha back to the latter's bedroom. Lucy made sure Agatha was sleeping soundly before she turned around and went back to her room.Lucy made a call to the town Benedict had stayed in and asked the person on the phone to tell him to call her back when he had a chance. Then, she wrestled with herself about whether she should tell Tobias that Ag

"Who are you? Why do you have Tobias' phone?" Lucy sat upright when she heard a woman's voice over the phone. She sounded angry as she questioned the latter.Then, Anna spoke over the phone. "Oh. It's you, Lucy. I'm Hannah. I wasn't feeling well yesterday. So, Tobe came to my place and looked after me for the whole night."I'm so jealous of you, Lucy. You have such a gentle and affectionate husband. He made me feel particularly comfortable when he looked after me last night." Anna deliberately emphasized when she said "Tobe", "looked after me", and "comfortable."A hint of menace flashed in Lucy's eyes. She exuded coldness as she asked, "Really?"Lucy's voice was cold as she rose and went to the computer. She tracked down Anna's address using the GPS software Faith had designed. "Where's Tobias?"Anna sneered. "Well. He was tired after what happened last night. So, he's taking a shower now." She deliberately made it sound ambiguous so that Lucy's imagination would run wild.Howev

Tobias, Lucy, Howard, and Agatha composed themselves before taking a seat on the couch. Lucy took a first aid kit and carefully tended to the bump on the back of Tobias' head. She looked at it and asked in a heartbroken tone, "Does it hurt, darling?"Howard had put his weight behind the cane when he struck Tobias. Not only was Lucy heartbroken, but she also blamed herself for it. If Tobias hadn't held her and shielded her, things could've ended pretty badly. Tobias had been hit by the cane, so naturally, it was painful for him, especially that last hit on the back of his head. It made him feel heavy in the chest. However, he wasn't injured, so he didn't let it bother him. He saw how hard Lucy was crying and comforted her immediately, "Stop crying, babe. I'm fine. It didn't hurt me at all."Lucy felt more heartbroken when she heard what he said. She touched his wound carefully and blew on it. Howard wore an apologetic expression and said, "Perhaps you should do a check-up at the
