Semua Bab He Lost Me, His Uncle Claimed Me: Bab 181 - Bab 190

Lily glanced at Lucas. He had always respected his uncle most of all—so why was he being so confrontational while discussing the wedding?They’d only just gotten married, and now they were talking about divorce—so unlucky.He must be going through early menopause.Lorenzo lazily glanced at the two of them. “You’re not wrong, but you should treasure the time you have together. Don’t be talking about divorce before the wedding even happens.”Anna looked at him, realizing something—so Lily and Lucas had already registered their marriage?That made her confusion deepen. Lucas had been spoiled all his life. Even if he and she had parted ways, Lily wasn’t his type—so why would he cooperate with a marriage certificate?The Whitmore family’s recent troubles couldn’t have escaped the Caldwells’ notice. At a time like this, avoiding risk would have been the smart move. But they hadn’t backed off—they’d plunged in headfirst. Something about it felt wrong.Anna felt a chill creep down her spine a

Lily let out a self-mocking laugh. She had really been affected by Anna. Now that Anna had been completely kicked out by the Whitmores, none of their fortune would ever fall to her.Even if Lorenzo treated her well now, once he got tired of her, she’d be thrown aside without a second thought.Let her enjoy this little victory while it lasted.The gala was about to start when Anna stepped onto the terrace and answered Lorenzo’s call.“What’s going on?”He knew she was at the gala; he wouldn’t call unless it was important.“I just got word,” his voice carried a faint helplessness, “the company has a problem. I need to go handle it.”Anna’s heart sank. “Another business trip?”Hearing the worry in her voice, he chuckled softly. “Don’t worry. This one’s a real trip. Want me to bring you a gift?”“Coming back safely is all I need.”A low, husky laugh echoed from the line. “Anna, with you like this, I don’t even want to leave. I wish I could put you in my pocket and take you with me.”Anna

Today, Lily had finally asked Cameron—and even he didn’t know about Anna’s time in Miami.Three years… what had Anna been planning all this time?It was clear now: she had dragged herself into this trap, and her target was their entire family.Lily slammed her foot on the accelerator.Memories flooded her mind. When they were younger, before their identities were revealed, she had to watch Cameron’s back from the window of a small villa. Later, when she finally moved into that dream home, she was determined to reclaim all the suffering she had endured.She didn’t think as deeply as the adults. All she knew was her father didn’t like Anna. Anna, like her mother, had to be gone—pushed out.So she and Lawrence had gone out of their way to torment Anna.Seeing her kneel in the courtyard under the pouring rain gave Lily immense satisfaction.Her mother had said sending Anna abroad would leave her alone, isolated, maybe even dying in a foreign land. Then no one would compete with her for th

Anna woke up groggy, her phone dead. She plugged it in and went to the bathroom to freshen up.Her head was spinning—was the alcohol hitting her harder than usual, or had it been a long time since she’d drunk?She hadn’t even finished brushing her teeth when nausea hit, forcing her to gag. Tears pricked her eyes. This was it—no more drinking. The hangover was brutal.After washing up, she grabbed her phone and saw the endless stream of transfer notifications. Her mind nearly exploded.Wait… what had happened last night?Money had been transferred from accounts all over the world.Her hand swiped down, slackening as the realization hit. She had agreed to stop drinking, and he had promised to transfer money until she said stop.She glanced at her account balance—five billion more.She sank onto the bed, still stunned.Not even counting collaborative projects, just the transfers alone… six billion.Anna pressed her hands to her mouth. This felt like a dream. Who gave money so freely?She

Tonya praised from the side, “As expected of a top designer—simple styles, yet every pair exudes refinement. Madam, try them on.”Anna normally wore heels and hadn’t seen this many flats. She casually slipped on a few pairs. They were not only simple and elegant, but extremely comfortable. The soft lambskin covered the shoes, and the insoles were plush.“Madam, you’re tall, so even flats look great.”Anna glanced at Tonya, thinking she’d been unusually chatty these past two days. “Tonya, have you been sweetening your words with honey?”Tonya smiled. “I’m just speaking the truth. Sir found such a wonderful wife—it must be his karmic blessing from a past life.”Proving that women like to be coddled, even a steel-hearted, straightforward woman like Anna couldn’t help but feel delighted. She thought Tonya deserved a raise.“Stand still, Madam. I’ll take a picture to send to Sir.”Anna instinctively covered her face. “But I haven’t put on makeup.”“Madam, you’re naturally beautiful.
