Chapter 268 Mr. Vittorio, a Walking Hormone
On the roadside, a luxurious Maybach came to a stop.
A man stepped out of the car, dressed in an impeccable suit, looking noble and gentlemanly as he exuded the innate aura of a king.
Giorgio? Why would he be here? Was she so unlucky that she had to run into him every time she stepped out?
Instinctively, Anna quickly opened the door of Susan's car, dived in, and hid herself. She didn't want to meet him or get into any complications.
Unexpectedly, Susan's voice rang out, "Nana, that man seems to be Mr. Vittorio!"
"Oh my god! It really is!"
"Look, look! He's here to pick up Katherine!"
Excited voices echoed one after another. Anna frowned; he was here to pick up Katherine?
She turned her head and indeed saw Giorgio walking over to the bench by the roadside, bending over, and picking up Katherine who was sitting on the bench.
He stood up, walked back to the car with a dignified stride, got in, closed the door, and left.
His actions were as smooth as flowing water, and, in a short span of ten seconds, it seemed as if he had never been there.
But his gentlemanly demeanor, his tenderness, his charisma... they were all deeply imprinted in people's hearts.
He was really just here to pick up Katherine. It wasn't a coincidence, nor was it anything else. She had overthought.
"So gentle! So domineering! Mr. Vittorio is a walking hormone!"
"Ah! I wish Mr. Vittorio would hold me just once!"
Susan was excitedly hopping outside the car, her eyes full of admiration.
Anna withdrew her gaze and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
That bastard! He was always showing his charming side to others, but in reality, he had a wife. He was good to his wife, but at the same time, he flirted with any woman with a pulse. Shameless!
Wait... What was she getting angry about? Whether he was a scumbag or whether he treated his wife well, what did it have to do with her?
After hitting herself with a couple of slaps on her cheeks, she rolled down the window for some fresh air, "Susan, let's head back to the office."
"Okay." Susan got into the car, noticing that Anna's face was terrifyingly calm. Could someone actually not be excited about Mr. Vittorio?
"Nana, do you need glasses? Can't you see how handsome Mr. Vittorio is?"
Cough, cough. Of course, she could see how handsome Giorgio was, but she saw more of his scumbag side.
"No, I'm just not interested in men at the moment. I just want to focus on my work."
"I see... but that's still not right! Mr. Vittorio is not just any man. Even lesbians would turn straight for him, and those who vow never to marry would want to! Your reaction is too normal; I suspect you're not just visually impaired, you... you're blind."
Pfft. Anna nearly spat out her water. What could she say? There was nothing to say. All she could do was give her an awkward smile and not answer.
Back at the company dormitory, only Sara was on the bed and there was no sound from the bathroom. Anna frowned.
Where was her little girl?
"Sara, where's Penny?"
Sara put down her phone, looked at her, and answered seriously, "Charlie was in a bad mood today, so he took Penny home with him to keep him company and to introduce her to his grandmother. I didn't stop him because he looked so depressed."
What? Penny had gone back home with Charlie?
Anna was furious.
The only consolation she had in these three years of humiliation was Penny. The last thing she wanted was for Penny to be recognized by Giorgio or Katherine and get taken away.
Now, Sara had actually delivered Penny into their hands?!
"No, I have to go get Penny back."
She quickly started rummaging through her wardrobe for clothes.
Sara stood up, "What's the matter? It's not that terrible for just one night, is it? I thought Penny should meet her relatives, and Charlie assured me he would take good care of Penny. That's why I let Penny go. I think... it should be okay for a little girl to visit someone else's house..."
Anna had found a decent outfit. She looked at Sara and said, "You don't understand. The people at the Vittorio mansion are wolves in sheep's clothing; they’re much more complicated than we think. In short, Penny appearing in front of them is like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment."
"Ah? That scary? How are you going to pick her up?"
"Don't worry; I have a plan."
Anna grabbed her clothes and a bunch of stuff from the dressing table, ran out, and hailed a taxi to the Vittorio mansion.
She had two plans.
The first was to pick up Penny as her mother, saying she was worried.
The second was to go as Katherine and find an excuse to take both children out when everyone was asleep.
Obviously, the first one was more reliable.
Anna busily started applying her makeup.
Twenty minutes later, the woman who stepped out of the taxi had a face full of freckles, dull yellow skin, and thick eyebrows.
She looked like an ordinary woman who didn't know how to dress up.
No one would believe that under that layer of makeup was a stunningly beautiful face.
She walked up to the gate and said to the gatekeeper, "Hello, I'm Charlie's classmate's mother. Charlie brought my daughter here, and I'm worried. I want to come and take my daughter home. Could you please get my daughter for me?"
Today, Charlie did bring a girl home.
The gatekeeper put on a friendly smile, "Hello, it's so late now. Charlie and your daughter are already asleep. It wouldn’t be good to wake them up now. Don't worry, your daughter is absolutely safe with the Vittorio family."
Everyone knew that the Vittorio family's mansion was as big as a palace, with dozens of servants and bodyguards. No bad people could get in.
But for Anna, the people living inside were the bad people; they were the most terrifying threat to her life.
She pursed her lips and said, "My daughter has never been away from me. As a mother, I really can't rest easy. How about this, you quietly take me in, and I'll take my daughter and leave, without waking up anyone else. Thank you."
She was sincere and earnest, making it hard for anyone to refuse.
The gatekeeper reluctantly said, "Alright, I've never seen someone like you. Others want to get into the Vittorio mansion but can't. When you go in, be quiet, don't touch anything you shouldn't, and don't think about doing anything you shouldn't."
He had clearly lost his patience and was now using a condescending tone.
Anna was very happy, "Okay, okay, thank you."
Under the guidance of the gatekeeper, she cautiously stepped into the Vittorio mansion.
It was already midnight, and the huge mansion was quiet, with only the wall lamps and street lights emitting a soft glow.
After walking inside, she felt inexplicably oppressed.
"Who's coming in so late?" An unexpected stern voice rang out.
Anna tensed up.
The gatekeeper also looked nervous and quickly reported in a low voice, "Sir, it's the mother of the classmate Charlie brought back. She said she was worried about her daughter and came to pick her up. I thought there was nothing wrong with that, so I didn't report it and brought her in."
Really now?
The tall figure walked towards Anna, paused in front of her, and started to look at her.
At the same time, Anna also realized that she recognized this man.
