Chapter 171 Announcing the Relationship: Girlfriend
【Meet at the Stefanelli family tomorrow morning at 10, we need to talk.】
Short, concise, and clean, in a professional tone.
Giorgio's eyebrows furrowed, and he used his long fingers to add her to the blocked list directly. Since she was so eager for Simon, why should he keep her by his side?
...
The next day in the presidential suite, a luxurious dining table adorned with exquisite dishes.
Simon, being a gentleman, cut the steak and handed a piece to Penny first, then cut another piece for himself and offered it to Anna saying, "Enjoy your breakfast in peace, let's not talk about anything for now." Anna was just thinking the same.
Regarding Katherine's situation, she had already come up with a plan, so it shouldn't cause any more trouble. She smiled at Simon and finished her breakfast.
After the meal, Simon finally brought up the topic: "I've booked a ticket for noon, let's go back together."
Go back today? Anna raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Are you in a hurry?"
"Yes, I rescheduled yesterday's contract and meeting to this afternoon."
He made time in his busy schedule to come and see her. A warm feeling surged through Anna's heart, but she felt guilty, "I can't go back temporarily. I have found a treatment plan for Katherine's condition. With a blood transfusion from me, the doctors are ninety percent certain she will wake up within two weeks. I want to treat her. Only when she wakes up can I safely return to Vista Heights. Don't worry, I genuinely only want to help her and won't go back to Giorgio's mansion."
She spoke sincerely, with conviction, but deliberately didn't mention the issue of blood type, fearing that he would worry.
Simon naturally understood her. He also knew that as long as Katherine remained unconscious, the situation couldn't be completely resolved.
He said, "You can stay in Crownhaven, but with two conditions. One, I will accompany you to the Stefanelli family, so they won't dare to bully you anymore. Two, Penny will come with me. I don't want her to be involved with Giorgio anymore, and besides, it's dangerous for her to stay in Crownhaven."
Anna hesitated. First, she didn't want her personal relationship to become entangled with the Stefanelli family. Whoever she chooses as her boyfriend shouldn't have anything to do with them.
Second, she didn't feel at ease with Penny leaving her. Moreover, he was so busy with work, and Penny might disturb him.
However, Simon seemed to understand her thoughts and said gently, "How can I feel at ease leaving you alone here when the Stefanelli family treats you that way? Do you want me to fly back and forth all the time? As for Penny, you can be assured that I will arrange a good school for her. When she finishes school, I will finish work too. Besides, Sara is also there. Are you worried that I would mistreat her?"
Anna quickly shook her head, "No, no, of course not, I trust you."
"That's good then." Simon didn't give her a chance to refuse and walked over to Penny, gently picking her up,
"Little princess, how about going back to Crownhaven with daddy to see Aunt Sara? Mommy has something to take care of here, and when she's done, we'll come to pick her up."
Penny pouted her little mouth and curiously asked, "Does that mean I won't see Charlie and Giorgio?"
"Um... the little princess has been with them for almost a month, isn't it time to spend half a month with daddy? It will hurt daddy's feelings if you ignore him like that." Simon spoke in a gentle and caring tone, acting as if he was hurt.
"Future Daddy shouldn't feel bad, I'll accompany you for half a month!" Penny immediately reassured.
"How sweet." Anna said, what else could she say? She had no choice but to go along with it even if she didn't want to.
At ten o'clock the next morning, Anna arrived at the Stefanelli family right on time. Carla's face showed displeasure upon seeing her there again..
"Why are you here again? Your current task is to stay with the Vittorio family, please Giorgio, and pretend to be Mrs. Vittorio. Coming here every day, do you want the reporters to catch you. And you disappeared for so long yesterday, where were you doing? I'm warning you, you're currently carrying Katherine's identity, don't do anything bad that would affect Katherine's reputation."
Anna didn't expect that every time they meet, Carla would find a reason to scold her, constantly challenging her understanding. She was about to retort.
Simon, with his slender and elegant figure, stepped forward, his warm gaze fixed on Carla, raising the phone in his hand.
"Mrs. Stefanelli, I've already recorded what you just said. If it were to be released, as expected, the Stefanelli Group would face collapse."
She had been recorded! Carla's face turned pale, looking at the man who appeared suddenly, elegant and full of hidden danger, her face tightened.
"Simon? Mr. Dalio? What are you doing here?"
As a prominent figure in the business world, naturally Carla knew Simon.
She quickly explained, "Just now, Katherine and I were just joking, acting. Right, Katherine?"
She kept gesturing and casting her eyes towards Anna, who smiled faintly and remained silent.
Simon spoke, "Mrs. Stefanelli, let me introduce myself. I am Anna's boyfriend. This is my first visit and I apologize for the intrusion."
Although it sounded like a polite introduction, in reality, it was a clear statement. He knew the truth about the whole situation .
Carla froze, as if struck by lightning, unable to react for a full five seconds.
Boyfriend? It couldn't be, how could the unlucky Anna have such a good boyfriend?
She didn't believe it at all, and even forgot about pretending to be Katherine. "Mr. Dalio, are you joking with me? With your exceptional reputation and status, why would you be dating Anna?"
Not only Carla was in doubt, but Judy and Fabio, who had been sitting in the living room all along, also couldn’t believe it.
Who is Simon? He is a business tycoon from Vista Heights, renowned for his impeccable status and position. Unlike Giorgio, he is low-key, gentle, friendly, and kind. He is even ranked number one in the top ten, as one of the most eligible bachelors in the world.
Such a perfect man rarely made public appearances, it would be a luxury just to catch a glimpse of him. How could he be interested in Anna?
Fabio stood up and walked out.
"Mr. Dalio, are you playing a game of truth or dare with her and losing? Really? Are you just joking, showing up now? Yes, Anna, you should have some self-awareness. Don't bother Mr. Dalio." As Carla was speaking, you could clearly see between the lines, there was complete contempt for Anna.
The smile at the corner of Anna's mouth grew colder and deeper . Why did they think Katherine could be with Giorgio and she couldn't meet a good man?
She held onto Simon's arm and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint all of you. Simon and I have been together for a long time."
The girl's actions carried a sense of declaration. Simon's gaze softened as he looked at her, admitting her courage. Why did it make her feel so warm and proud?
His eyes fell on Carla and the others, asserting dominance, as he said, "Perhaps in your eyes, Anna is worthless, but in my eyes, she is my guiding star, my sea. Show some respect towards her. If you hurt her again, even if you're her relatives, I won't be polite."
This statement confirmed their relationship and served as a warning.
Carla and Fabio's faces changed completely. Anna was genuinely in a relationship with Simon? No wonder she said those words yesterday! So, she really didn't have feelings for Giorgio!
At the garage exit, Giorgio stood in the shadows with a cold and dignified posture, his face frozen in ice. It was one thing that she found Simon, but why did she bring him to meet the parents? Did she want to declare their relationship to the whole world?
