Chapter 155 Anna's Devious Plot
It was an unusual situation, and Anna was left wondering what happened to her?
Before Anna could react, the door creaked open from the outside, revealing a masked man dressed in black.
"Who... who are you?" Anna had a bad feeling and tried to call for help, but her entire body felt strangely weak, leaving her unable to summon any strength.
Not only that, but a rising sense of discomfort overwhelmed her. It felt similar to the last time she was tricked by Charli...when feeding the milk, she experienced something like this too! What was going on? She hadn’t eaten much tonight.
As the man approached closer and closer, Anna became nervous and afraid: "Don't come any closer, the secretary will bring the clothes up soon. Go away!" She pleaded, but the man in black seemed not to have heard her words and grabbed her wrist firmly, his eyes filled with menace. "One minute is enough to destroy you."
"Ah! Let go, let go of me!" Anna struggled with all her might, but compared to the strength of a man, a woman's strength was like hitting a stone with an egg.
Moreover, her whole body wasn't at her command. She couldn't exert any strength and could only be pinned down by the man.
No, she couldn't simply wait for the worst. Who knew if media reporters would rush in at any moment.
Anna's gaze fell on the tall vase on the table, her eyes lit up, and she reached out and grabbed the tablecloth.
With a firm pull, the vase above came crashing down!
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
The man's head took the hit, his gaze freezing before he was knocked out.
Anna didn't have time to be afraid. Using all her strength, she pushed the man away, then leaned on the table legs to struggle to her feet and made a run for it.
In the hallway, a slim figure in a bright blue suit appeared.
It was Giuseppe!
Anna didn't care about anything else and rushed towards him, "Help...save me..."
Giuseppe came up to see her on purpose, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
He hugged her limp body , his brows furrowed in concern as he asked, "Katherine, who did this to you?"
"I... I don't know..." Anna said her consciousness fading rapidly.
She lifted her hand and hugged him, standing on her tiptoes, wanting to kiss this man in front of her. He smelled good and his body was warm.
Giuseppe's body stiffened, "Katherine, don't do this. I'll take you to a safe place." After saying that, he carried her in his arms and walked quickly towards the furthest end.
At the corner of the hallway, Edith walked out with a shocked and incredulous expression on her face. She came upstairs, originally intending to check on Katherine. However, the situation turned out even better? It seemed even more exciting...
She turned around and quickly went downstairs. The banquet was still lively with every guest wearing a happy smile on their face, networking with potential business partners.
Giorgio was sitting on the sofa with Enrico and Tom, engrossed in a serious conversation, while Edith wore a sinister smile. If Giorgio saw Anna with his nephew Giuseppe, would he still like it? Would Katherine's life still be glamorous?
She walked over and sat next to Giorgio, quietly taking out her phone under the pretense of browsing the internet. In reality, she was calculating the time.
Right now, if she let Giorgio go upstairs, and nothing significant happened, it can be forgiven.
However, after twenty minutes, if their encounter had escalated, it would be difficult to overlook...
She thought to herself, not even a fairy could save them.
Giorgio waited for a while but didn't see Anna returning. He lowered his gaze and looked at the expensive watch on his wrist, his gaze slightly darkened.
She’s been up there for fifteen minutes already. Why hasn't she come down yet? He thought to himself.
"Giorgio, why didn't you discuss the amusement park project with me beforehand?" Enrico's voice interrupted his thoughts.
The Moretti Group has also invested in Puppet Land. Although they have a close relationship where they can easily agree on things, Enrico didn't expect such a decision to be made without consultation.
Giorgio looked up and nonchalantly replied, "It occurred to me at the last minute."
Just as he finished speaking, the secretary approached, holding a clothing bag and whispered,
"Mr. Vittorio, I searched the room upstairs, but didn't see Mrs. Vittorio."
Giorgio couldn’t believe it. He stood up abruptly and said, "I'll go and take a look." Then he walked briskly up the stairs.
Edith looked at Enrico and Tom and said, "It's quite noisy downstairs, let's go up and help search."
"Mhmm," Tom took Enrico's hand and they went upstairs together.
Upstairs, there were many rooms, but only three were used as changing rooms. Anna was not in any of them.
"It's strange, where could Miss. Stefanelli have gone?" Tom wondered. "Giorgio, make a phone call."
But tom’s suggestion seemed unnecessary. Giorgio had already taken out his phone and dialed the number, only to hear a recorded message: "I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
“Maybe it's related to Black Jack, leaving a shadow,” Giorgio said. "Check the CCTV right away."
Edith expression tightened and she said quickly, "Giorgio, I know the manager of this hotel. I'll ask her to send a video right away." With that, she had already dialed the phone.
It takes less than ten minutes, the video file is sent to Edith’s mail. "All right, Giorgio, check it out." Edith clicks on the video to hand it over.
Instantly, the faces of those present all changed! Why? Because in the corridor, the woman threw herself into the man's arms, kisses and caresses, and the man subsequently picked her up and carried her away.
In just ten seconds, their intimate display was undeniable. The woman in the video was none other than the Anna they are looking for! And the man, not an outsider, is the Giuseppe they all know!
How could they?!
Giorgio’s expression turned frosty and his breath was colder than an ice cavern in the depths of winter.
'Cut!' The phone in his hand was suddenly turned off, and he walked straight in the direction where the two figures left in the video.
Every step he took seemed to resonate like a pounding heart a sense of danger looming.
"It's over, Giorgio. Are you going to confront the traitor?" Tom grabbed Enrico nervously.
Enrico glanced at Tom, and Giorgio's lips curled with cold disdain. "I always knew that woman was not good,” he uttered, his tone dripping with self-disgust.
Fortunately, Edith had followed Giorgio, putting distance between herself and the others.
Tom looked around cautiously and whispered. "Shh, Enrico, you can't say that let's go over there and see what happens."
At the end of the corridor, a tightly closed gate, separated the two worlds.
Tom furrowed his brows. "What's out there? Can you get out? "
"It looks like a hanging garden," Edith said. "Oh, my God, it won't be in the garden."
She didn’t finished her sentence, but everyone knew what she meant.
Giorgio's already icy expression grew even more colder. Tom shot Edith a quick meaningful glance, silently pleading with her not to pour oil on the fire.
Tom spoke up, trying to divert attention from the uncomfortable topic, "That can’t be possible? It's dark out there. It's impossible to be outside now. Giorgio, let's go somewhere else. "
With that, he glanced at Enrico and motioned to him to deal with it.
However, before any further step were taken, there was a distinct 'squeak'. The gate was pushed open from the other side.
The people who appeared at the door left everyone stunned.
Anna! Giuseppe!
