Chapter 34 The Wrong Person
"Joshua?"
Lexie called Joshua a few times before Joshua came back to his senses. "What?"
Lexic sat on the wooden bench and looked up at him. "I called you a few times. Something going on?"
"No," Joshua said as he put his phone into his suit pocket, "Let me help you back to the ward."
He held Lexie and walked back. All he could think about was the photo that Robin had sent him.
They stayed for the night last night, and they even showed up at the entertainment venue together today...
Are they two together?
When Joshua saw the photo just now, he had the urge to rush to the scene.
In the end, he restrained himself.
After learning that Timothy was planning to invest in the project of Riven Group, he immediately stopped Timothy.
After all, the Parkhurst family was not a small family to ignore. If he wanted to push Timothy, he had to pay a greater price.
From the withdrawal to stopping Timothy's actions, Joshua had done enough ridiculous things.
He should not have lost his mind for Anaya.
Joshua decided that Anaya was not worth him wasting so much energy.
After Anaya left, Samuel showed up.
Hearst looked at Samuel and asked, "Did you let her in?"
He had an exclusive practice ground in the shooting range, and without permission, outsiders would not be able to enter at all.
"Ms. Dutt called Jayden today for the investment thing. I thought you would be happy if she came over..." Samuel said as he shrank his neck He didn't know why his brother seemed to be unhappier.
"Tell Jayden to make an arrangement according to the process with anyone else when Anaya calls to ask about the investment next time." Adams said that he wanted Anaya to grow up, so Hearst did not help her.
But he couldn't just sit still when Anaya came to him.
He would give her everything she wanted.
Samuel was puzzled. "You can make the call for such a small amount of money. Why bother the process? Aren't you afraid that Ms. Dutt will go back and beg her ex-husband if you keep doing this?" "You are grounded. 5 days."
Samuel was speechless.
Samuel decided that he would seal his mouth from then on.
Anaya did not give up and called Jayden again.
She was already prepared to be rejected, but she did not expect Jayden agreed to meet her, and Jayden seemed to be very optimistic about Riven Group's several projects,
She immediately got someone to prepare the relevant information for her appointment.
The presentation went unbelievably smooth as if the setbacks that she had suffered a while ago were all unreal.
"Ms. Dutt, I'm looking forward to working with your company." Jayden reached out her fair, slender hand to Anaya.
Anaya shook hands with her. "I should be the one saying this. Thanks for your yet-to-come huge help."
She hesitated and asked, "If I may ask, Mr. Helms should know the predicament of the Dutt family. Why would he say yes to this investment?"
Jayden said with a straight face, "Mr. Helms values the potential of the Dutt family. That's all."
Her answer was simple and formal, but Anaya felt weird.
Although these projects could make a profit, it was difficult to make a lot of money.
A high-status man like Jared shouldn't have paid attention to these.
However, he chose to vote for these projects.
Do these projects have some potentials that I didn't notice? Anaya thought.
After leaving Prudential Group, it was already close to the time to get off work.
Anaya asked the employees to go home.
She told this what happened to Adams. She thought that Adams would be very happy, but he only sighed heavily.
"Anaya, you must be having a hard time."
Sometimes people could be unbelievably fragile or strong.
Anaya had walked a long way alone with teeth gritted, but she never feel bitter.
However, Adams's unintentional words made her want to cry.
"It's alright. Just some small problems." She opened the food box, "I haven't cooked for you in a long time. I made a few more dishes today. Have a try." She changed the topic. Adams saw through her lie and followed her topic. "Why the light food again? I feel like I am going through a penance."
"These are special designed recipes by nutritionists. They can prevent you from illnesses."
Anaya had dinner with Adams and took the food box home.
She sent a message to Hearst and asked if he knew which pet shop nearby was open at night.
There were too many things going on that she had been ignoring Sammo.
The dog's fur grew longer and the drooping hair would cover his eyes if it didn't get trimmed.
Hearst quickly replied, "I know one. But it is not easy to find. I'll go with you.
"Will that be too much to ask?"
"No big deal. I'll pick you up tonight."
Anaya was busy texting and did not pay attention to the road..
At the corner, she accidentally bumped into a woman. The water that the woman was holding was knocked over and splashed all over her body.
Anaya was about to apologize, but that woman said it first. She bent down in a panic and kept apologizing.
Her tone was cautious and urgent tone as if she had done something very wrong.
But actually, she was the one to be wetted.
"You are Silvia, right?"
"Ms. Dutt?" Silvia, who was bowing and apologizing, raised her head.
Silvia was wearing a mask today, covering her scarred face, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.
Her eves were beautiful, smart, and clean, with a bit of timidity.
Anaya asked her, "Why are you here?"
"My mnother was staying in this hospital."
It was the best private hospital in Boston. The consultation fee was expensive and the medical technology there was the most advanced.
Silvia was not rich, but she sent her mother here for treatment. It must be a serious illness,
Anaya didn't like to inquire about other people's private affairs, soʻshe didn't ask further, "My apartment is nearby. Come over and change your clothes."
Silvia nodded. She informed her mother and followed Anaya home.
Anaya found a clean set of clothes for Silvia to change into. Silvia put on her mask and was about to leave, "Ms. Dutt, thank you. I still have a part-time job, so I'll be leaving first. I'll send your clothes back in two days."
"Alright, be careful on the way."
Silvia came out of the apartment. She had just closed the door when someone suddenly covered her nose and mouth with a towel, and soon, Silvia lost consciousness.
Several people carried her into a van. One of the men took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Mr. Tirrell, we have Ms. Dutt."
"Shiloh, don't ever leave me, okay?"
In Silvia's dream, the man's face was extremely clear.
He held her in his arms, his voice extremely gentle, but she only felt fear, like it was the whisper of a demon.
Silvia woke up and her hands were tied up and she was thrown to the ground.
The voice in the dream was still lingering in her ears, and the voice coming from the top of her head coincided with the voice in the dream.
It was just that the voice was no longer gentle, but a chilling gloom.
"I've handed her over to you. You can do whatever you want."
In front of him was a pair of shiny black shoes.
The protruding ankle was also wrapped in black cotton socks and was hidden in the straight trousers.
Silvia raised her head and her pupils suddenly shrank. Then, she lowered her head in a panic. Her long black hair covered her eyes and lier body could not help but tremble slightly.
Mia's tone was a bit excited, "Thank you, brother! I will definitely treat Anaya well."
Silvia was stunned when she suddenly heard the name of Anaya, and then she realized that Bryant had caught the wrong person.
Silvia did not make a sound.
Bryant quickly left, leaving Mia and a few thugs in suits and sunglasses in the room.
Mia kicked Silvia's. Silvia groaned in pain and had no other reaction.
"Anaya, weren't you very arrogant last time? Why are you lying here looking so pity now?"
Mia laughed wildly. She grabbed Silvia's hair and lifted her up.
She noticed the scar exposed next to Silvia's eyes and sensed that something was wrong, so she reached out to take off her mask
Seeing Silvia's face covered in scars, Mia was startled and immediately shook her off, screaming and retreating to the side.
Silvia's head hit the corner of the table, and the vase on the table was knocked down and shattered beside her.
She secretly grabbed a vase fragment and hid it in her hand.
"Who is this ugly woman?" Mia was furious and slapped the face of the man closest to her, "You brainless thing, you got the wrong guy!"
The man was aggrieved and explained, "She came out of Ms. Dutt's apartment, and she was wearing Ms. Dutt's clothes... So are we going to let her go now?"
"Idiot, do you want her to call the police? leave her here first, and then get Anaya here! If you fail again, I will let my brother teach you a lesson!"
"Yes!"
