Chapter 233 Almost Caught!
At the restaurant, Wendy sat at the table, glancing at the time on her phone. It was already eleven forty. Why hadn't Anna come yet? She was about to dial a number when a soft, childlike voice sounded.
"Mommy, are we going to see Grandma? I don't want to see Grandma."
That voice...it was none other than Penny.
Wendy looked up to see Anna leading Penny towards her. She put down her phone, her expression slightly startled. "Why are you so late?"
Anna sat down with Penny, her tone calm and indifferent. "Crownhaven is big and prone to traffic jams. Do you think it's as convenient as Vista Heights? What's the matter? I have work to do. I'm busy."
Wendy frowned. "Work? What kind of work are you doing in Crownhaven?"
Anna was prepared for this. "I'm doing live streaming on my phone. There's a popular livestreaming event in Crownhaven. I stream every day, trying to win the prize. You can search for Nana on Tiktok if you don't believe me. By the way, do you have any money? I spent a lot on props earlier, and Penny and I can't even afford to eat. I need a computer now. Can you lend me some money? I'll pay you back when I have money."
The sudden request for a loan changed Wendy's expression. She covered the gold bracelet on her wrist. "I'm an old woman; where would I get money? Besides, you said you didn't acknowledge me as your mom before, and now you want me to lend you money. Isn't that funny? Alright, since I've seen you; I'll go back."
"Grandma, don't go. Mommy and I haven't eaten anything delicious for a long time. Can you treat us to something delicious? If possible, I want to order more and take it home for tonight and tomorrow." Penny pleaded pitifully.
However, Wendy's entire face changed color. She came here just to see if Anna was really working. Now that her mission was complete, why should she spend money on their meal? And they wanted to take away? Wouldn't the money be better spent on branded lipstick for herself?
"Your mom doesn't even acknowledge me, and you still call me grandma. I don't have money to feed you!" With that, she stood up and left with a cold expression.
Anna was at a loss, but she wasn’t surprised.
She knew that if she asked for money, Wendy would definitely leave on her own. But Penny was so pitiful, and she didn't even want to treat them to a meal, which was unexpected. She took Penny's hand and left.
In the corner, a dark figure quickly followed them.
About ten minutes later, Anna stopped at an underground apartment. She took the key from her pocket, opened the door, and went in.
Through the door, you could see that there was only one bed and one table inside, very simple. This was where they lived?
The secretary quickly snapped a photo, turned around, and waited for the door to close. He turned to the cleaning woman in the corridor and approached her.
"Excuse me, do you know when the mother and daughter inside moved in? Tell me what you know."
As he spoke, he handed her two hundred-dollar bills.
Upon seeing the money, the cleaning woman's eyes lit up. She reached out to take the money and replied, "Them? Of course, I know. They moved here about one or two months ago, from Vista Heights. They stay inside every day and rarely go out. Sometimes I even go in to sit and chat with them."
"Are you sure they're inside every day? Think carefully. Could it be that they don't live here at all or they rarely come back, so you hardly see them?" He asked pointedly, emphasizing his words.
The cleaning woman thought for a moment and then shook her head decisively. "No, absolutely not. I come to clean every morning and evening. I often greet them and can hear them talking and singing inside. It seems like they're doing some kind of livestreaming work and don't need to go out. I'm old and don't understand, but you can ask them."
"No need; thank you."
The secretary stepped away and went outside, squatting in the corner.
He didn't notice that as soon as he left, the cleaning woman ran into the room. And the Anna who came out from inside was wearing the same clothes as the cleaning woman!
The two had swapped identities.
As soon as Anna left the apartment, she got into the car arranged by Little Tony and rushed back to the Vittorio mansion.
At this moment, in the Vittorio mansion, Colombo and Abel were sitting in the living room, their eyes occasionally glancing upstairs, wondering, "They haven't come out since they went in. Are they really... in broad daylight?"
"I'm not sure; they might just be pretending."
"Huh? Uncle, are you suggesting that there might be a plot? Then let's go up and see!" Abel got up and went upstairs.
With Giorgio's noble temperament, he shouldn't be showing such affection during the day. He wanted to see what was going on.
"Hey, Mr. Abel, are you going in?"
"That's not good, Mr. Abel. You should wait a while~~"
Two maids stopped Abel, their faces flushed and hesitant. Obviously, the situation inside was not suitable for entering.
Abel glanced at them and said, "It's okay; I have something to discuss with Giorgio."
With that, he pushed the two of them aside and pushed open the door.
"Creak!"
With the sound of the door opening, what came into view was a room full of scattered clothes, and two people sweating profusely on the bed!
Then, a scream of "Ah!" rang through the sky.
The woman on the bed pulled the quilt over her shoulders and hid her face in the muscular chest of the man.
It was indeed Katherine!
They were really in there!
Abel was stunned.
Giorgio looked at the person at the door. His face reveled a slightly angry expression, and his voice expressed his clear annoyance at being interrupted, "Get out!"
"Ah, yes, yes..." Abel quickly opened the door with a pale and embarrassed face and left.
"How is it?" Colombo asked in the corridor.
Abel replied, "They're both in there; you call and ask the other side."
Colombo picked up his phone. "Let's see if Anna is there now."
The secretary squatting in the corner stood up, sneaked a peek inside the room where a woman was feeding a child, and said, "Sir, she's there, I've been waiting outside, and I didn't see her go out."
In other words, both people had appeared, and it wasn't a disguise!
"It's over... it's over. Giorgio will definitely kill me later." Abel was anxious and depressed.
Everyone knew that angering Giorgio was a fate worse than death. He was done...
If he had known this would happen, he would have never taken the lead!
Colombo's eyes narrowed.
Did they overthink again?
Why did he feel that something was subtly wrong?
At this moment, in the room on the second floor, the door was closed, and the air fell into an extreme silence.
Anna lay under Giorgio, taking deep breaths of fresh air, her small hand patting her chest, "That was close... If I had been two minutes late, I would have been discovered."
Because she ran so fast, her face was flushed, and she was slightly panting.
This position and distance were very fitting at this moment.
Giorgio looked at her, his deep eyes slightly dim...
