Chapter 5 The Train Derails!

Outside the villa.

Anna walked out of the complex in one long sprint. Everyone had been staring at her, watching as she ran through the complex. The evening breeze was cool, and she took a deep breath.

Although she never thought there was any possibility of any relationship between her and Giorgio, she felt uncomfortable with how he misunderstood her and used his power to oppress her.

A narcissistic, arrogant, and self-righteous man. She couldn’t believe she was attracted to him in any way. But it was just her body. And your body could betray you often.

"Anna! It's actually you!" A sudden familiar voice sounded.

Anna lifted her gaze and saw Katherine walking out from behind the fountain!

She exuded an elegant and beautiful aura, just like her name, proud and delicate. But at this moment, her expression was somewhat shocked and fierce.

Her sister!

"Sister, what are you doing here?" Wasn't she supposed to buy wine? The supermarket is not in this direction.

Before Anna could react, a harsh slap landed on her face.

The tremendous force caught Anna off guard and she fell to the ground. A bright handprint immediately appeared on her fair cheek.

Katherine stared at her angrily and scolded, "Sister? You still remember to call me sister? How did you agree with me before? Now you dare to come to Giorgio and seduce him! What did you do in the room just now? Are you trying to ruin my happiness and take my place?

You're so wicked! How can you treat me like this? I'm your own sister!"

The words were sharp and filled with agitation.

Anna's cheek and elbow stung painfully, her head was spinning, and she felt a bit aggrieved and angry. She stood up and said:

"Sister, I came here to deliver food. I didn't know the recipient was my brother-in-law, and he mistook me for someone else. Nothing happened between us, I only hid because I was afraid you would misunderstand me. If I really had any improper intentions towards my brother-in-law, why would I hide for six years?"

Katherine's face froze as she was asked that.

Indeed, in these six years, she also worried about what Anna might do, but Anna never showed up even once. This time should be an accident.

Anna continued, "And, I've been hiding for you for six years. Do you really have to hit me because of him? I treat you as my sister. How do you treat me?"

Naturally, Katherine regarded Anna as a thorn in her side.

But that was something she couldn't say. She forced a smile and said, "Of course, I treat you as my sister. It's just that I misunderstood just now. Your appearance can easily cause suspicion from Giorgio. If we're not careful, it could lead to irreversible consequences. I don't think you want everyone to criticize you and ruin my happiness. So, can you leave for the next three months while Giorgio is on a business trip?"

As if worried that Anna might not agree, she added, "Considering the medical expenses I have paid for your grandmother over the years."

In the end, her sister cared too much about this man.

Anna smiled, "My grandmother is in the hospital, and I have been living here for over 20 years. I can't leave. But rest assured, I won't appear in front of the blind man, and I won't have any dealings with him!"

That cold-hearted man, who was like ice and showed no tenderness even in that matter! He really wasn't even her type!

"Besides, sister, just because a train derails from a track doesn't mean it has any direct relation to your happiness."

After saying that, she walked away.

Katherine stood still, her face pale with anger.

This goddamned Anna dared to talk to her with such a tone!

Thinking that Giorgio had lied for Anna earlier tonight, she couldn't hide her anger!

Anna, she can't stay!

She took out her phone and called Wendy.

"Wendy? Anna’s mother? Hello, I'm her sister. Katherine. I heard that you're in financial trouble recently? Do me a favor and I'll give you $100,000."

“What?” Anna’s adopted mother sounded breathy and confused.

"It's nothing big, it's just that Anna is already at the age to get married. Jack from your county is not bad. Do you understand what I mean?"
