Chapter 190: Chapter 190: The Greg Family
This was why Anna rushed to the city. Even if he was really engaged, it didn’t matter. As long as he was not married, she had a chance. Stuart said, "I don’t have a fiancée."
The unmarried wife that Mrs. Yates selected for him was Victoria Greg of the Greg Family. He had already dissolved his marriage contract with the Greg family. Now, he has a newly married wife.
Thinking of Eddie and how gentle and sweet she was, gave Stuart a feeling of happiness. Now his previous restless emotion was peaceful. Of course, Anna didn’t know what Stuart meant. When she heard what Stuart said, her heart started beating fast with excitement. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
She really didn’t think that the situation would turn out to be good. Anna couldn’t help but smile, and she said to Stuart, laughing, "America is your territory. Would you take me out to have some dinner and familiarize me with the city?"
"I will arrange a person for you. During your time in the city, he will accompany you for as long as you wish. He will arrange food, clothing, and accommodations for you. If you have any needs, you can just ask him."
Anna’s face grew pale, and her smile disappeared. Although Stuart’s arrangement was very reasonable and comprehensive, he refused her completely. It didn’t matter, and she was already planning to do it. If she had to fight a long-term battle, then so be it.
A man like Stuart, she never thought that she could so quickly get him. Finally, Anna nodded with a smile, "You are taking good care of me."
"You take it easy and get some rest. I have something to do at the company, and I have to leave."
Anna had known Stuart for so many years, and she was very clear about his work style. She understood, "Well, okay, you go." He turned and walked away without looking back. What Anna originally wanted to say was stuck in her throat. She wanted to kiss him goodbye and tell him how much she loved him, but she couldn’t do either one of them.
She watched his figure disappear at the door and even helped him close the door. But not once did he look back at her from the beginning to the end. She couldn’t help but bite her red lips and sat on the sofa. She used all the means, but still, she couldn’t get his attention. How can she get him?
Now back at the Royal Villa. After Eddie finished breakfast, she suddenly did not know what she should do. She was used to being busy at work, and now the sudden freeness made her have nothing to do. When she was quiet, she couldn’t help but think of Stuart.
She was trying to decide if she should go to the company and discuss her next script with Danny. Then her phone suddenly rang. Seeing the person’s name on the screen, her relaxed expression on her face disappeared instantly.
Stanley Greg. It was her father who she was not qualified to call. Stanley had always avoided her; why would he suddenly call her? Eddie hesitated and answered her phone, "Hello..." freewebnøvel.com
"What took you so long to answer?"
Eddie started to say something and was interrupted by Stanley. The same as always, no care, no concern, only blame. Even if she was used to it, she still felt a bit sad. Her tone became cold, and she showed no emotion, "What do you want?"
One never goes to the temple for nothing. Stanley called her for no reason; therefore, he must want something. "You come back home now," Stanley’s tone was solemn. Is he going back to the Greg family? Mrs. Greg hated whenever Eddie stopped by, why does Stanley suddenly want her to go back?
"Why do you want me to go back? What’s the matter?" Eddie felt that things were strange. Her voice contained a hint of alert, and her questioning annoyed Stanley. In his heart, Eddie was still the incompetent, reluctant little girl. Her inquiry made him feel that his authority was challenged.
"You have to come back, why do you have to ask so many questions?" After that, Stanley hung up the phone. Eddie rubbed her head as if she was thinking, then she got up, went upstairs, and changed her clothes.
She knew if she got a driver, then Stuart would definitely know where she had gone. So Eddie did not let Mr. Sampson arrange a car for her. She drove her car and went there herself.
When she arrived at the Greg’s house, she parked the car by the garage. The servant who opened the door looked at her with a very horrified look. They didn’t seem to believe that the young and desperate woman whom they had known would be able to afford a car like this.
Eddie turned a blind eye to this kind of vision and went straight through the door of the house. As soon as she walked into the living room, she saw three people sitting on the sofa, and their faces were ugly. Eddie walked over; she did not greet them and said, "I am here; what is the matter?"
Mrs. Greg glanced at her and sneered, "You are getting ruder and ruder as you get older, and now you don’t even greet us." Stanley was also irritated by her attitude, "Is that any way of being polite?"
If it were the former Eddie, she would be afraid, and she would say she was sorry because she would have been terrified by them. Now she didn’t even blink an eye. She had experienced so many things that she no longer cared about what they thought.
Besides, she makes money herself and feeds herself. Which was something that they barely did for her? Eddie gently lifted her lips with a hint of ridicule, "What should I call you? Mr. Greg? Mrs. Greg? Aren’t you embarrassed? Mom and Dad? Can you afford it?"
She was the biological daughter of Stanley. If she called him Mr. Greg, isn’t that losing his face?
But she really couldn’t call him "dad." Had he cared for her over the years? How much care had he given her? Even if she did not starve to death, she must be grateful for her considerable fortune.
Stanley heard her provocation, and he was so angry, "You are not a filial daughter! It is fine if you have a bad character; you even have no education! But how dare you talk to me in this tone!"
Victoria was standing by his side, and of course, she had to put on a performance. She quickly got closer to him and helped Stanley to breathe, "Dad, don’t get angry, she is not worth it. She is a cruel and ignorant woman. You have done so much for her, but she treats you as a stranger! I don’t have this kind of sister!"
Stanley drank a couple of glasses of water and yelled at Eddie, "Kneel down!"
"What are you saying? You call me here to ask me to kneel down. What are you doing?"
"I will only ask you once, did you secretly get married? If you are, you never asked me!"
She never expected Stanley to find out about this, and Eddie suddenly froze. The fact that she and Stuart were privately licensed was indeed her fault. Victoria must have told him.
The only reason he asked her over today was to scold her. There was no need to say anything to Stanley because there were too many complicated reasons. Eddie slightly nodded, "Yes, I am married."
Stanley suddenly stood up from the sofa, stepping forward two steps and slapped her in the face.
