Chapter 385 He Descended into Her World
Giuseppe never expected another possibility. Giorgio deliberately held back.In terms of strength, Anna could never defeat Giorgio. But if Giorgio let her win intentionally, then it might be a different story.
In the morning, Anna woke up early. When she took a walk outside, she unexpectedly saw Giorgio and Tony chatting in the pavilion.
"Mr. Vittorio, do you have any ideas for the Greenwood Project?" Anna quickly hid behind the bushes, listening intently.
"I currently have no ideas. Since Grandma is elderly, anything that would touch her would likely the design out of affection, which is not my expertise." Giorgio looked at the mountains, not missing the figure in the bushes.
He continued, "That piece of land was a gift from my grandmother to my mother. They have a deep bond. Do you have any ideas?"
After thinking a while, Tony suggested, "Mrs. Viviana Vittorio and Mrs. Melinda Vittorio used to enjoy barbecues. How about building a global chain of branded barbecue restaurants? It would not only please Viviana but also represent Crownhaven's unique character. With proper planning, it could become a landmark."
Giorgio squinted, "That's a good idea, but it's not what I'm looking for. Let's rethink this."
'To establish a barbecue chain, it sounds great!
'This wasn't what he wanted?
'Well, she would just borrow this idea then.'
A mischievous glint passed through Anna's beautiful eyes as she quietly slipped away.
In the corner of his eye, Giorgio saw her leaving and his smile deepened.
"Mr. Giorgio Vittorio, the strategy you came up with is just perfect." Giorge was actually pulling Tony into a play.
Tony felt like he almost became an actor.
He asked, "Mr. Vittorio, the green space is quite valuable, and it also represents Viviana's affection for you. You are so generous to give it to Giuseppe? It seems a pity."
Giorgio raised an eyebrow and calmly asked, "Do you think, even if the project is given to Giuseppe, he can handle it?"
After asking, he left in the breeze. Tony was stunned there. Then he realized that Greenwood Project was worth at least one billion dollars, maybe even ten billion, something most people couldn't handle. With Giuseppe's abilities, it would be challenging for him to succeed in this. Even if he did succeed, in Giorgio's eyes, trading a piece of land for Anna's freedom seemed worthful.
With a desire in her heart, Anna was in a great mood, constantly pondering over the planning.
Although Anna was not an architect, she was the same as every girl with a natural inclination for leisure and dining. She had watched many promotional videos of food and beverage brands before, so designing from the perspective of a visitor was worth a try.
"Watch your step. What are you thinking about?" Giuseppe's voice rang out.
Anna snapped back to reality, only to find a puddle ahead. She quickly smiled, "Nothing, I was thinking about the planning. Maybe it can really make you the wealthiest person."
"Oh, by the way, this is the agreement I drafted last night. Take a look and sign it if you agree with the terms."
Giuseppe took the agreement, clearly outlining the conditions:
[If Anna helps Giuseppe secure the Greenwood Project, a favor Anna owned to Giuseppe should be cleared. thus nullifying their previous contract. The agreement takes effect upon signing.]
Below, her name was already signed with graceful letters.
Giuseppe raised an eyebrow, "Anna, have you ever thought that if the Greenwood Project is really given to us, you could cross social classes and become a Crownhaven socialite, enjoying wealth?"
"I don't want that." Anna didn't have such big ambitions. She just wanted a simple life.
Giuseppe had never seen someone, especially a woman, who didn't love money. He didn't want to let her go. But considering she had no chance of winning, he swiftly signed his name.
"Thank you." Anna took the document and kept walking up the mountain.
She needed to find a quiet place to get inspiration and ideas.
As she ventured deeper into the mountains, she realized she was all alone. Clearly, she had gotten lost!
'She hadn't found the perfect solution yet. was she really that unlucky?'
Anna tried to retrace her steps, but all she saw were trees and leaves, without footprints. Even worse was that when she took out her phone, she found out that it had no signal and was stuck. What she could do was to wait for rescue.So she sat on the spot to conserve energy.
On the other side, everyone was taking photos, riding cable cars, picking wildflowers, thoroughly enjoying themselves. Since it was a free activity, they didn't keep count of the number of people. It wasn't until dinner that they gathered together..
"Has anyone seen Anna?" Giuseppe inquired.
It was then that they realized Anna was missing.
"I think I haven't seen her since noon?"
"Wasn't she with you? Did you not notice?"
"Oh no! The mountain is so vast. Could she be lost in the mountains?" Beatrice's words made everyone's expressions change.
Because the last time she mentioned the topic of pregnancey, Anna vomited. They were afraid this time it might be true as well.
"I'll go look for her right away. Granny, you all go ahead and eat." Giuseppe stood up and walked outside with long strides.
Giorgio, with his tall and slender figure, also stood up.
"Giorgio, are you going too?" Katherine held him back.
Giuseppe didn't confirm or deny, "Yes, it's getting dark soon. The earlier we find her, the safer she will be.."
"I'll go with you." Katherine stood up and followed him.
She rarely faced hardships, and the mountain path was not easy to go. Just as they started up the mountain, Katherine twisted her ankle.
Giorgio stopped in his tracks and crouched down, "Did you hurt yourself? Tony, you take her back first, then come back."
"Yes, Mr. Giorgio Vittorio." Tony escorted Katherine back.
Katherine wasn't very pleased.
'Was Giorgio caring for her, or did he see her as a burden? And Would it delay him finding Anna?
'Why was he so worried about Anna's disappearance!'
She kept repeating Anna in her mind, then a dreadful thought came to her.
'If Anna were to die in the mountains, in an accident...'
Anna wasn't afraid of the night or spending the night in the mountains. She had lived in the mountains many times since she was a child.
At the moment, she had gathered some firewood and lit a small fire to keep warm, which could also attract other people's attention.
After some time, the surroundings grew cold, the night deepened, and she felt sleepy.
Suddenly, a strange sound echoed through the forest.
In the mountain night, it sounded particularly terrifying. Anna's nerves instantly tightened.
With no one around in the mountains, it was most likely an animal. Animals were afraid of fire and wouldn't come near. If she remained still, she wouldn't attract their attention. She held her breath, sitting stiffly.
"Anna?" a figure unexpectedly approached.
It was Giuseppe, tall, slender, and refined.
"Giuseppe?" Anna was surprised and stood up in disbelief, "Oh, it's you! I had thought it was an animal. Mr. Giuseppe Vittorio, how did you find me?"
She was overjoyed. After all, no matter how strong she was, she didn't want to spend the night in the mountains.
Giuseppe looked her over, relieved to see she was fine, "You headed towards this mountain when you left. I followed and walked for two hours until I saw the fire on the mountain. Anna, you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a dark figure suddenly emerged from the bushes!
His brow furrowed, "What's that?"
Anna turned her head at his voice and saw a large, shadowy figure charging towards them. It was big and fat.
'Oh hell! It was really an animal!'
Before she could discern what it was, it had already reached them, with great force.
Anna and Giuseppe were both knocked off their feet, falling heavily to the ground!
The impact caused Giuseppe to lose consciousness instantly!
"Mr. Giuseppe Vittorio!"
Upon hearing her voice, the animal turned and charged at her again.
Anna's heart was startledand she was so terrified.
Her leg bone was injured from the impact, her whole body ached, and she couldn't avoid it at this moment.
Just as she prepared herself to be knocked down again, a tall and imposing figure suddenly appeared.
It was Giorgio.
