Chapter 168 Are You Crying?
Free? Giorgio's eyebrows twistedfurrowed, his voice carrying a hinttinged with of anger, "Is the current situation torture for you?"
Anna's clear eyes met his gaze, resolute and forceful:met his gaze with clear, resolute eyes, her tone forceful,
"Of course, with Katherine's label hanging over me, I'm forced to do things I don't want. Do you think I would enjoy itthis? Enough, I'm praying every night for Katherine to wake up early."
Giorgio: "..."
If it were any other woman, she would be overjoyed, even praying every day for Katherine not to wake up.
But she, on the other hand, was so cold and resistantAnne’s cold and resistant demeanor was starkly different. His lips curled with cold severity: "Even if you don't want it, it's your own predicamenttrouble. Don't pretend to be a victim. Furthermore, if you can bear the consequences, step forward to announce the truth. If you can't, then behave well and don't make any more mistakes."
Was he blaming her for standing on the wedding stage? Accusing her of arguing with him that night and having an encounter with Giuseppe?
Anna clenched her hands tightly, her resolve unwavering, in her palms: "Yesunwavering, “Yes, it's my own doing. If I had known what would happen today, I would never have set foot in the wedding venue.
Rest assured, I will act well, until Katherine wakes up and I can exit this ridiculous game, without ruining Mr. Vittorio's perfect life."
With thatAfter speaking, she grabbed her shoulder bag and left the villa directly.
Giorgio's face turned pale with anger.
No one had ever dared to yell at herhim like this, especially considering that he protected her just so they could continue with the wedding. And in the end, it led to her attitude now?
If he had known today would turn out like this, he would have left her at the wedding venue.
In the taxi .
Anna looked out at the bustling streets, filled with people, feeling uneasy in her heart. Everyone hads their own livesfe, yet she had become a captive of Katherine, a substitute for Katherine.
She never expected Giorgio to treat her wellkindly, but in this supposedly fairfair cooperation, and mutually beneficial relationship, what right did he have to blame her and control her?
'Ding dong ding dongDing-dong ding-dong ding~~' Her phone rang in her pocket.
did not pay any attention to Anna initially paid no attention.
It was not until the third time that he called that she took out her phone and answered, "Hello?" Her hoarse voice was choked up and sounded like she was crying.
Simon furrowed his eyebrows, "What's going on? Are you crying?"
Anna didn't want to burden the third person with this terrible situation so. Sshe quickly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.
"It's nothing. I just woke up and have a little cold. My voice doesn't sound good. Simon, make sure to dress warmly and take care of yourself. Don't get sick, okay?"
The woman's excuse seemed a bit far-fetched.
Simon closed his computer on the desk, spun his office chair around, and looked out of the large floor-to-ceiling window at the scenery of half of Vista Heights.
He said, "Well, don't worry about me. What have you been doing in Crownhaven lately? When are you coming back? I'll pick you up."
For Anna, something that could be solved with a plane ticket was now such a luxury. She took a deep breath. "It's coming soon. I'll contact you as soon as I can come back."
She didn't answer the important question and her words were evasiveHer response was evasive, avoiding the important question.
Simon became more suspicious in his heart. "Alright, I have something to deal with here. We'll talk later. Hang up for now."
After hanging up the call, he pressed the intercom to call Giovanni in. He instructed, "Cancel today's schedule from this afternoon until tomorrow morning, and book the earliest flight to Crownhaven for me."
Giovanni was taken aback. "Mr. Dalio, there is an important signing event tonight, and the shareholders' meeting is at 8 am tomorrow..."
"I know. I'll handle it when I come back tomorrow afternoon," Simon said, putting on his suit jacket and walked straight out, leaving nowithout room for doubt.
Giovanni felt helpless and had a headache, but then understood.
If Mr. Dalio was so anxious to go to Crownhaven, it must be something related to Anna.
He couldn't stop it, nor could he preventstop it.
...
Anna took a taxi to the Stefanelli family's house.
As soon as she entered, Carla, in a bad mood, accused her, "Why are you back? And you took a taxi? Did the Vittorio family not have a car or did the Stefanelli family not have money? Intentionally trying to embarrass us, to expose our flaws, right?"
There wasn't a trace of a mother's tenderness on her. Though Anna didn't expect anything, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
She retorted, "Sorry, I'm not like Katherine, who had her parents' love and a driver's license and luxury car at the age of 18. I haven't even touched a luxury car until now, so naturally, I can't drive. If we're talking about embarrassing, it's caused by all of you."
"You!" Carla became furious. "You!"
Anna didn't want to argue with her. "I came to see Katherine. How is she? When will she wake up?"
Carla's anger flared up as soon as this was mentioned. "Why? Are you worried that she'll wake up and you'll lose your current life of luxury? Or Aare you here to harm Katherine?"
Everyone thoughtThe assumption that Anna was enjoying her desired lifestyle and had ulterior motives. Anna coldly chuckled, "You're overthinking. I came to tell her that if she doesn't wake up soon, I won't be able to continue acting. That disgusting man, Giorgio..."
"Or she can take care of herself." After saying that, she walked straight upstairs.
Carla and Judy were stunned, frozen in place! Did Anna just scold Giorgio?
Anna went upstairs and entered the room.
On the sickbed, Katherine lay peacefully, her fair skin fair, and delicate features even in her slumber, showcasing her exquisite beauty.
"You sleep so peacefully, while I have suffered so much because of you."
Anna complained, walking over to sit at the edge of the bed, continuing her rant,:
"Giorgio and Edith have an impure relationship. I don't want to create enemies or compete with her. She could plot against me anytime and take over as Mrs. Vittorio. Also, I haven't told Giorgio about you and Giuseppe, but he has sensed that something is amiss and has used means against Giuseppe. Lastly, Giorgio is the biggest jerk and the least gentle man I've ever met. I can lose my temper at any moment and reveal the truth. Therefore, if you continue lying down like this, when you wake up, you might face ruin and lose everything. If you want to protect yourself, get up and solve these matters on your own. Don't make me bear these things burdens that don't belong to me."
This was the first time Anna had expressed genuine concern about , the sincerest prayer for Katherine's health. Only if she is healthy, she wouldn't have to become a substitute.
Yet, Katherine remained unresponsive, lying on the bed, likeresembling a half-dead person.
Concerned about Anna's ill intentions, Carla followed and now stood at the doorway with a furrowed brow.
What's going on? Anna's tone really seemed to detest Katherine for real. It didn't seem like an act at all.
For the first time, Carla felt that she couldn't understand her own daughter. No, what did she just say?
"Are you saying Katherine and Giuseppe have an impure relationship? What's your intention? Are you recording this, trying to make Katherine unknowingly accept these baseless accusations while she's unconscious?"
LAlways living in a world of conspiracyies and calculations! Anna really wanted to follow her words and provokeinfuriate her.
But just because they lacked morals, doesn't mean she had to sink down to their level. Dogs biting dogs would only turn them into dogs themselves.
AnnaShe turned her head, calmly looking at Carla with a cold gaze and said,:
"If it's true, ask your precious daughter when she wakes up. ,D don't assume everyone is as unkind as you just because you lack virtuearen't virtuous."
"What about the doctor? I want to know about Katherine's condition and when she will wake up. Because —being a substitute has its limits, I can't possibly replace her forever."
"Smack!"
Before she could finish her sentence, a heavy slap landed on Anna's face.
