Chapter 487 Mistaken for Katherine
At that moment, Anna's heart was all over the place. She flashed back to that wedding, the instant he spotted her.
She also remembered him getting all jealous over Giuseppe, and she gave him a piece of her mind, mocking his thing with Katherine. She even remembered their fights and then running off to find Simon, wanting to bail with him.
Anna now got it—he must've been super worked up back then. He was looking out for her, but she kept stirring the pot and dodging blame.
Anna had no clue how to deal with this truth. She was too embarrassed to face it! She also had no idea how to keep their thing going.
Right then, a staff member's voice cut through the air. "Hey everyone, sorry, Mr. Vittorio said there's too many people here, so they're getting the marriage certificate on the down-low. Keep an eye on Instagram for updates."
The crowd groaned and reluctantly started to leave.
Anna sat in the wheelchair, eyes blank, face pale. She stayed like that for a good half hour before letting Sara wheel her back. Maybe, like Enrico said, she really had no right to show up in front of Giorgio again.
In the days that followed, Anna stayed in the hospital for a week. Her mood tanked, her body's defenses dropped, making her injuries worse and giving her a nasty fever. She was constantly getting treated and having her wounds cleaned up.
It wasn't until the seventh day that she bounced back.
Sara asked, "Anna, how you holding up?"
Anna forced a smile. "I'm good. How's Penny doing?"
Sara shook her head, looking bummed out. Thinking of sweet little Penny in the ICU, maybe never waking up again, her heart just broke!
Sara said firmly, "Anna, no matter what goes down with Mr. Vittorio, you gotta dig into this and get some payback! If Katherine's behind this, she can't get away with it."
Anna nodded, her empty eyes darkening as she said, "I already got a plan. Help me track down Katherine, and I'll make my move tonight."
"Got it!"
Soon, Sara found out and told Anna, "Katherine's got some animal charity gig tonight. That witch, acting all nice while being a cat torturer, donating money, building shelters, trying to step on you and boost her image. She's the worst."
Anna knew Katherine's true colors now. From now on, she wouldn't see her the same way.
"Get me an outfit just like hers, and tonight, find a way to stall her. I'll sneak into her car and pretend to be Katherine to get info from Elena."
Sara nodded, "That's a solid plan! Once we know it's her, we can gather evidence."
That night, the charity event went off without a hitch, with media and flashbulbs all on Katherine. She was the star, the goddess everyone admired and envied.
Outside in the parking lot, Anna hid in a dark corner, waiting until 9 PM. Then her phone buzzed with a message from Sara: [The event's over. Go now!]
Anna quickly fixed herself up, copied Katherine's walk, and headed out, finding Katherine's car and hopping in. But as soon as she got in, she froze!
Inside the car, in the front driver's seat, there was no Elena. Instead, Giorgio was in the back seat, eyes closed, resting! He seemed to have had some wine, giving off a faint scent of red wine mixed with his unique cologne. His brows were slightly furrowed, looking uncomfortable.
Seeing Giorgio, Anna freaked out, totally lost on what to do, not knowing how to face him.
Luckily, Giorgio didn't wake up, letting her relax and take a deep breath. Then she raised her hands, her small hands pressing on his temples, massaging them gently.
The pressure was just right, and her technique was on point. Before long, Giorgio's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, his handsome face looking even more attractive.
Suddenly, Giorgio raised his hand, pulling her down and kissing her lips.
Giorgio's lips were still so warm and soft. His breath was still pleasant and intoxicating, even more so with the scent of red wine, making him even more mature and alluring.
Anna's eyes widened in shock, frozen in his arms, not daring to move. She had to admit, she felt something for his kiss and his breath.
At that moment, her phone vibrated. It must be a message from Sara, saying Katherine was coming out! Anna was instantly freaked out, pulling away from Giorgio gently. Only then did she realize he was truly drunk, probably dreaming.
'Sorry,' she apologized silently in her heart, quickly getting out of the car and leaving.
Not long after, Katherine got in the car. Seeing Giorgio, she let out a happy and smug smile.
Since Anna left, Giorgio not only stopped mentioning divorce but was also willing to get the marriage certificate and even take her to events. In Katherine's eyes, as long as Anna didn't exist, there would be no more problems in her life with Giorgio!
'It's a pity that bitch only became a vegetable and didn't die!' she thought. She needed to find another chance to finish her off.
She didn't know that the vegetative state was just a facade created by Simon.
At this moment, Katherine was in a good mood, leaning in to kiss Giorgio. Suddenly, Giorgio opened his deep eyes, seeing Katherine, his gaze darkening.
"Giorgio, you're awake?" Katherine was startled.
Giorgio's deep eyes looked at her. He had drunk an extra glass at the party earlier, which caused him a splitting headache. He felt a pair of small hands massaging him, very comfortably.
Then, her scent was pleasant, and he kissed her.
Thinking it was a dream, he opened his eyes to see Katherine.
"Was it you just now?" His voice carried a chill.
Katherine was puzzled by his question. Knowing Giorgio always had high alertness, she awkwardly explained, "Yes, sorry, I just wanted to help you sober up. I didn't mean to do anything to you."
Her cautious appearance seemed guilty and shy.
Giorgio felt the lingering sweetness on his lips. So, the one who massaged him was Katherine? The one he kissed was her.
Thinking of this, a flash of anger and disdain crossed his eyes, and he coldly said, "Drive back!"
On the other side.
"Anna? How did it go? Did you find out anything?" Sara asked anxiously in the car.
Anna took off the heavy dress, removed the jewelry, and shook her head in disappointment. "No, the person in the car wasn't Elena, it was Mr. Vittorio."
"What! Did he recognize you?" Sara's face turned pale.
She and Anna were currently made to appear in a vegetative state by Simon, and only Katherine knew the fake information. To the outside world and anyone else, it was a secret. And that bitch Katherine certainly wouldn't tell Giorgio.
So in Giorgio's and others' eyes, they had gone back to the countryside, disappeared. That day appearing in front of Enrico Moretti was a last resort.
If recognized, it would be good if Giorgio helped. If not, and he sided with Katherine, their plan would be ruined.
"Don't worry. He was drunk and asleep; he didn't see me," Anna reassured, her voice neither relieved nor disappointed.
Thinking of that kiss just now, her heart warmed.
In the past, he always liked to kiss her, but she was shy and dodged. Now, she realized his kiss was so intoxicating.
She had to admit she missed it.
