Chapter 16 You Two May Have A Good Relationship
Anna hesitated for a moment and decided to pick it up. Her
voice was fearful and a little alienated. She didn’t know what Carlos would say to her.
“Hello, Mr. Scott.”
Unexpectedly, Anna heard a female voice on the other end of the phone, “Hello, this is Nightcharm Bar. We found a mobile phone. Do you know the owner?”
It turned out that Carlos had left his phone in the private room. Anna was puzzled, “This is Mr. Scott’s cell phone. But why did you call me? Mr. Scott and I…”
The current relationship between her and Carlos was not good at all. She was called, but she didn’t know whether to help or not. This was just a trivial matter, but it was very difficult for her. When Carlos got his phone back, what she might get in return was not necessarily gratitude, but painful ridicule.
“Here is the thing, Miss. We saw a phone number with the note ‘Cutie‘ in this phone, so I guess you two may have a good relationship.”
Memories pulled Anna back to three years ago. She didn’t want to let herself fall into it again, but she was addicted uncontrollably. The “Cutie” note had been done by her after she pestered Carlos and got his cell phone.

“Anna, stop it!” She still remembered Carlos’s impatient voice.
“No, after saving this nickname, others will know that you can only be mine!” Anna was ambiguous and mischievous with a smile on her face. In contrast, Carlos still had the gloom on his face, but a trace of helplessness flicked in his eyes.
It was this trace of helplessness that had convinced Anna that she had a special place in his heart.
Time flew. Anna couldn’t help tightening her grip on her phone. She had thought that this special note had already disappeared after she entered the prison. But unexpectedly, Carlos still kept it.
It was just that she wouldn’t have any wrong ideas about him anymore. With Carlos’s character, and what he had said coldly before she was imprisoned, “Everything about you will only make me feel dirty“, he had kept this note simply because he didn’t want to delete it in disgust.
“Please send it to Building 3, Mullen Garden.”
With that, Anna hung up the phone dejectedly.
Reminiscing about it would only make her sadder. Anna looked at the blue curtains. This was once her favorite color, but now it looked like an indelible stain. This was the evidence of her arrogance and shamelessness.
Anna decided she’d better not bother herself. She discarded all distracting thoughts. She suddenly received a message from Raul.
“How are you doing now?” He probably thought Anna had slept with Ronnie.

“I’m fine,” Anna replied politely. So far, Raul was still her support for staying.
Raul replied quickly, “Even if you slept with Ronnie, it doesn’t matter. I can accept it.”
Anna’s heart tightened suddenly. When had the world
become so full of kindness? Could it be that God had taken pity on her and redeemed her during these three years of suffering?
Soon, her fleeting thought was shattered by Raul’s next
message.
“Most importantly, take good care of Ronnie and make him happy. Mention our Rubin family’s debts by the way and ask him to give us a break.”
It was much more reasonable now.
Anna laughed at herself and sneered. This was the correct way for the world to treat her. Good intentions were just tricks to deceive children. She had grown up and was mature enough to rot.
The life–saving straw she had believed in finally showed his true colors. Raul was just a rotten straw that would be blown away with the wind. If this was the case, would she need to continue to deal with him and marry him? She had ended up being betrayed by him without hesitation when he met Ronnie after all.
She was already a catastrophe in the eyes of Carlos and Pier. How could she protect others?
In the shadow of the dim wall lights, Anna was sitting on the

edge of the bed holding her phone. Her back was skinny, and there were brown scars on her supposedly fair skin. All these scars clearly showed her current situation.
She had just been released from prison and now she was going to walk into another trap. Of course, Anna didn’t want
- to.
She simply threw her phone aside and ignored it, ready for a good night’s sleep rather than hesitation and torture.
Ronnie waited in the private room for a long time but did not see Carlos. He realized that he had been cheated.
Although he was very angry, he didn’t dare to come directly to the Perkins family to ask for trouble. Todd was paralyzed, but the shares and power in his hands were not. As long as Todd was still breathing, Ronnie wouldn’t have a chance to
hurt Anna.
Anna had escaped when he was about to sleep with her, and he was resentful! He was only one step away from sleeping with the beauty with the most charming smile in the business circle. It was just one step away!
Now he dared not do anything to Anna, but he could do something to Raul! Didn’t they say that Anna and Raul were going to get married? He could ask Raul to step aside and help him.
Raul didn’t get Anna’s reply, but Ronnie showed up aggressively. The family sat in the living room tremblingly, waiting for Ronnie’s verdict.
To be honest, Raul had never suffered this kind of grievance since he was little. He was the famous playboy of the Rubin

family in front of others. But now at home, with Ronnie in charge, he didn’t dare to say anything. He could only listen to Ronnie and hoped Ronnie could show mercy to the Rubin family.
“Raul, I don’t have any other requirements. Since Anna is going to marry you, I believe it will not be difficult for you to give her to me.” Ronnie crossed his legs. The custom–made eagle pattern Martin boots he was wearing hit hard on the antique coffee table worth more than two million in Raul’s house and made a dull sound.
Raul knew very well in his heart that if he didn’t follow Ronnie’s order, the Rubin family would suffer a lot next time.
“Ronnie… Don’t worry! I will send Anna to your bed. Just leave it to me!” Raul nodded cowardly, wishing to kneel to Ronnie to show his loyalty.
Ronnie stared at him with sharp eyes and said, “You better keep your word, kid. Don’t be like your father!”
His thick and black fingers pointed in the direction of Alfred, and Alfred hid behind his wife shivering.
“Well, about the debt… please cut us some slack, Ronnie!”
Ronnie sneered, “It all depends on your performance. Be smart! The Perkins family is not someone you and I can easily provoke. If you mess it up, your Rubin family will be very sorry!”
Raul said flatteringly, “Understood! Don’t worry, Ronnie, I have a solution!”
