Chapter 8 Rage-8
After Anna left, Ace trashed his office. But such venting didn't seem to quench the anger in his heart.
So, he cursed his staff in the next few meetings, from HR to marketing and even finance. No one was spared.
When he finished all the meetings, it was already 9 pm.
Ace returned to his office. But every corner of his office was covered with Anna's scent, which made him remember the scar on her stomach.
An ectopic pregnancy!
He used to release it outside her body when they weren't using protection when they were having sex, except for that time when he lost his mind in front of her father. For ten years, he hadn't even let her take the pill. Yet she was now even messing around with other men without a condom!
He couldn't accept that she'd had to have surgery because of her fooling around!
Ace felt like a boulder was crushing his heart and lungs. He couldn't breathe.
He had run a very successful company in the past two years. He usually worked almost day and night and didn't think about her for a second because of all the pressure on his shoulders and the need for sleeping pills every night.
Today, she had messed up his life again!
All he could think about was what she had said in court, "We're done."
Why did she come to him again when they were done? Why did she use her body to ask him for money?
Anna did it on purpose. She wanted him to know that it was his fault she couldn't get a job now. She even asked him to introduce her to men.
Ace gritted his teeth, grabbed his suit off the hanger, and walked out of the office. His assistant hurriedly followed, "Sir, the young master of the Rivers Group has invited you ......"
"I'm not going." Ace lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch, "Go find out where Anna lives now."
Many images appeared in Ace's mind. He seemed to see the woman in the fiery red backless dress traveling between many men.
As long as the men held out checks, she could walk with them into some dark corner and have sex. It was as if Ace heard Ana's moans and screams from various places.
Ace's lips were dry. He said, "Now go get her for me!"
However, when Ace got home, he got a call from his assistant, "I'm sorry, Sir, we couldn't find anything. She has no record of renting an apartment or booking any hotels since she got out of jail."
Ace had a cigarette in his hand, and he took a sharp drag, "No way, she has nowhere to go!"
Unless she had another man, she had nowhere to go!
Ace wasn't able to calm down at all. "Keep looking. You've got to find her!"
Ace hung up the phone without a word; then, his cell phone screen suddenly flashed a number.
The name of the number was "My Little Scar." The name reappeared on Ace's cell phone after two years and eight months.
Anna had changed the name on Ace's cell phone on her 20th birthday. Ace clenched his fists. He felt like he would burn and walked toward the air conditioner.
Just before he picked up the phone, she had hung up.
Ace cursed, "Fuck!"
Just as he hesitated to call her back, his phone rang again. He licked his lips and picked up the phone indifferently, "Hello."
"Mr. Robert." Anna's voice was cheerful.
Ace frowned. He had been restless all day, and Anna acted as if nothing had happened.
"I gambled at night and lost all my money. Can you give me some more?"
Ace's hands were shaking as he reached for the phone. She never gambled! How many vices she had picked up in prison?
"Prison was boring, so we'd gamble on some gadget or something else. I can't find a job right now and don't know what to do. So I went gambling and owed some money. Can you give me some more?"
Ace walked around his room, "What, something else."
Did they gamble on other things besides money?
But he had a feeling it wasn't that simple!
"Bet on what?"
"Like helping other people with dishes and laundry, or sleeping ......," Anna deliberately paused, letting Ace guess for himself. She would never let Ace mistake her for still having feelings for him.
She never wanted to see Ace again once she got the money and the other baby.
"Go to hell! Now!" Ace felt like his heart was about to explode with rage this day.
