All Chapters of He Lost Me, His Uncle Claimed Me: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Back at the Whitmore family mansion, Billy was in a particularly good mood as he gathered everyone for dinner."Anna, I didn’t expect you to have such a knack for getting Lorenzo to fall for you so quickly. You’ve really managed to break him down," Billy said with a proud grin.Anna smiled sweetly. "Grandpa, you haven’t forgotten the deal we made, right? The marriage with the Caldwell family, and then you’ll let me into Whitmore Group."At the mention of this topic, the smile faded from Billy’s face. "Anna, you saw for yourself today. With the wedding preparations ahead of us, you won’t have time to focus on work.""Grandpa, the details can be settled with the wedding planners. They can handle the arrangements. The wedding won't happen until at least six months from now, so I have plenty of free time. I want to contribute to the company," Anna insisted."You’re a young woman. Isn’t it better to stay at home, support your husband, and raise children? Why bother getting involved in busi

Anna looked up at the fury in Lorenzo's face, her mind blank.Lorenzo’s voice was cold, each word sharp: “Do you want to die?”Die?The image of her mother’s fall, right in front of her, flashed in Anna’s mind. Her face paled, and her body trembled with the memory.Without a word, Lorenzo pulled her into his arms, disregarding the water soaking her clothes. One arm wrapped around her back, and the other shielded her head, enveloping her with a sense of safety.Anna instinctively gripped his shirt, her voice small and broken: "I just want to be left alone for a moment.""Can you tell me what happened?" Lorenzo asked softly, his voice quieter than before.“I…” she started, but stopped herself. It was a long story, and she had always dealt with everything alone.There was no one in her family who would help her. What difference would it make if she told him, especially when it came to family matters that were already shameful? She didn’t want to be laughed at.“It’s okay if you don’t wan

The boomerang that Lucas had thrown out landed heavily in his own heart.Yes, when Lorenzo came to Miami, he had asked a few times whether Lucas would bring his girlfriend out. Lucas had bluntly answered that he and Anna were just playing around.A bitter smile spread across his face. "What if I regret it?""Lucas," Lorenzo's voice turned cold, "Marriage and love are not some childish games. You’re an adult now, you should follow the rules. Once a move is made, it can’t be undone."Lucas lowered his head, his eyes reddening as if he were about to cry. "But why her? There are so many women in the world, why did it have to be you who married her?"If it weren’t for Lorenzo, Lucas felt that anyone else could have Anna, and he could still have a chance to win her back.But not Lorenzo. Not the man who was both his uncle and someone above him. He dared not cross that line.Lorenzo, seeing the pitiful expression on his face, showed no mercy. Instead, his voice grew colder. "I also want to a

Anna froze, her mind momentarily blank."Choose me?""I’m still in need of a personal assistant. Interested, Mrs. Caldwell?"With the way he was acting, it seemed more like he was lacking someone to warm his bed rather than needing an assistant.It was common for CEOs to have female secretaries—handling work during the day and taking care of their bosses' personal needs at night. This unspoken rule was well known in the industry.Although they were married, she had no intention of wasting her time on such matters.She replied, "I’ll think about it.""Good, no rush. Take your time. I still have things to handle, so you should rest early. No need to wait up for me.""Mm."Anna sighed in relief. She had been dreading the man asking for something more tonight. During the campaign to become Mrs. Caldwell, she had always emphasized her professionalism. Meeting her husband's needs was part of what she had to face. If he wanted something, she had no way of refusing.Lorenzo could sense her re

His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried immense weight.It was like a bitter, bone-chilling wind, spreading out from him and pressuring everyone around.Anna, nestled in his arms, felt a chill run down her spine. She cautiously raised her head, only to meet the taut line of Lorenzo’s jaw.No one had expected him to show up so suddenly, standing there, protective of Anna in a way no one had anticipated.Cameron, though slightly unsettled, held his ground. After all, he was the elder. How could he allow himself to lose face in front of the younger generation?He steeled himself, his face cold as he spoke, "Anna has no manners, daring to lay hands on an elder. As her father, it's my responsibility to discipline her. What’s the matter, Lorenzo? Are you going to step in now?"Lorenzo’s gaze was steely as he responded, "Cameron, if your daughter has made a mistake, then as her father, you should handle it. But I’m curious—what could have happened to push my normally composed wife to lay a han
