“….”
“President Ann, I have other things to do. Since you are not ready to agree to my terms and conditions, I would advise you to look for another person to invest in your company. You can ask the Fords for help. I heard they are your in-laws.”
“did you suddenly forget you are a member of the Ann family?”
“Since President Ann wouldn’t agree, let’s forget about our cooperation, I’m hanging up”
“You unfilial child.”
“I’m hanging up. I have other things to do, have a nice da…”
“You, don’t hang up!” Timothy quickly interrupted her. “You don’t need to hang up, I agree with your terms and conditions. Don’t just waste time in sending me the money or the company will really be bankrupt.”
Ariel smiled. “Alright, since you are willing to compromise, I will ask the company to prepare a contract and send it to you” Timothy Ann gritted his teeth in anger at the other end.
After hanging up the phone, Ariel smiled.
“Timothy Ann, you should be grateful to heaven that I’m helping because everything you have belongs to my mother alone and I promise you I will take it all back.”
*business district (Starlight)*
Rex Anderson walked in with his slender legs through the vip elevator, Pius followed in and shut the door behind him stopping the pry eye of others.
Pius took out a document and handed it to Rex, “Young Master, this is the latest report from the Anderson group of companies. It has been rising since the young madam joined.”
“Thank you” Rex Anderson took it and went through it, then nodded in satisfaction” “let it grow more in the next fifteen days. Then, after that, let it begin to fall.”
Pius was stunned. “Young master, you mean I should let the share begin to fall in fifteen days’ time.”
Rex snorted, “Yes, if the shares of the Anderson Company suddenly begin to fall after rising to its peak, a large number of shareholders will sell off their own shares.”
“exactly, by the time i9 include my fifty percent shares that way I will be able to control the Anderson group companies, I just need a little more than that fifty making those shareholders who supported fidelis think that supporting him was the best decision they have made and then they will be wiped out in one fell swoop! After I transfer everything to starlight, the Anderson Company will become an empty shell without any chance of reviving and, finally, it will go bankrupt.”
When Pius heard his words, he couldn’t help but praise his boss for his meticulousness.
“I will definitely do as you say.” Pius looked at Rex Anderson and saw his lips curled up coldly.
“Young Master, Timothy Ann”
“As for him and his family, I will instigate Ariel and their death will even be worse than Fidelis and his children. I’m going to rid them of everything they have. In fact, Timothy Ann’s retribution would not be too far away. Anyway, I will soon have a visitor, so you will help me pick the person up.”
“Young master, who is it that I will be picking up is”
“Elvira Ann”
“…, young master, you mean the young mistress of the Ann?” Pius was confused as to what Rex intended on doing by contacting Elvira.
“Pius, do I have to report every step I take to you in future? I’m your boss, so you will do whatever I ask of you”
Pius quickly lowered his head. They were friends but he dared not cross paths with him. “Yes young master, I will do as you have said.”
“Just go pick her up for me. She has something she wants to say to me in private and I can’t wait to hear whatever it is, so I tell her I will pick her up.”
“Yes, young master, I will go now.”
Pius turned around, opened the door and left. Rex Anderson stood up from his seat and took a sip of the red wine before smashing it on the wall.
He wouldn’t let any one of them off. They must all get their retribution.
He calms his emotions and leaves the company without being noticed.
…….
At the Ann mansion,
Elvira, dressed in a white channel dress, stood by the door waiting for Rex to pick her up but when she saw Pius she was a little bit disappointed as the latter had promised to personally pick her up.
“He promised to come and pick me up personally. Did he tell you anything?”
“No miss, the young master only sent me to pick you up and send you to one of the best restaurants in Oakland.”
Elvira nodded her head in upstanding and smiled innocently at Pius.
“The young master also said you should dress nicely.”
“Did he say that?”
“Yes”
Elvira looked at her dress and felt she didn’t dress up enough. “wait for me. I want to go back and change this dress.”
“Alright, Miss Ann, take your time. No need to hurry.”
“I need to dress well”. With that she turned and ran back into the Ann villa. As soon as she turned back, the smile on Pius’ lips turned cold.
“I may be a playboy, but I can never talk to fake woman like that. I wonder what the young master was thinking.”
As soon as Elvira entered her room she quickly rummaged through her wardrobe and got her dress changed.
Tanya Albert, who sat at the dining table eating an apple, saw her daughter come down gorgeously dressed, looked at her and smile. “What is it with you, any good news? It’s a long time I saw you in such a good mood.”
“Mum, did you know I called Rex up in the morning and, guess what, he sent someone to pick me up” Elvira said excitedly.
“Rex Anderson, you mean the young master of the Anderson. Ariel’s husband.” Why would he send someone to pick you up what did you say to him”, Tanya asked her daughter.
“Mom, don’t worry too much, all I did was just to say hello to him and I think he realizes I’m prettier and more popular than that Ariel, so he asked me out. Mom, the last time I saw him my heart was full of him. Now I bet his heart is now full of me. That makes him want to see me so badly, he must be looking for an opportunity to have a relationship with me.”
Tanya Albert frowned at her daughter worriedly when she heard her. “Elvira, you have to be careful about this! What do you think will happen if Damien finds out you are going out with Rex? Don’t forget you are carrying his child. Rex Anderson is not as simple as you think. Just stay with Damien”
Elvira frowned and looked at her mother in displeasure and anger. “mother, please don’t ruin my mood. Did you not want to see me sad? It’s not like I like Damien. It seems you would like to see Ariel shine more than me. She’s now the vice president of Anderson’s company and she dared rub it in my face and even humiliated me the other time, if I get Rex Anderson to dance to my tune, I will send that wench out to the street where she belongs.”
“Elvira, you are my beloved daughter. Rex Anderson is wheelchair bound with a burnt scar on his face. I and your father loved you so much and that was the reason we asked Ariel to marry him.”
“Mum, right now I think you don’t want me to be happy or live a good life. He’s different from the rumours. It’s not like you didn’t see him yourself. I’ve seen how nice he was to Ariel.”
“Is that really the case?” Tanya Albert’s face was filled with disbelief.
“Yes mother, Rex Anderson’s waiting for me; don’t let me keep him waiting.”
“Elvira, as your mother, I’m only thinking about good things for you, I want no harm to come to you, just take it as a mother watching out for her child” Tanya talked and talked and talked but Elvira Ann couldn’t hear a thing as her mind was full of Rex Anderson.
“Alright mother, I understand. Go and rest before you develop wrinkles. I’m going out on a date with Rex Anderson”
“Elvira, I’m saying all this for your own good, that wheelchair-user is not good for you. Just stay with Damien”
“Mother, I’m an adult. Don’t worry”, Tanya Albert sighed.
