Recently, because Rex Anderson has been in contact with Elvira Ann, her mood was elevated; she was quick to forget about Damian Ford, and the house was exceptionally quiet; even the housekeeper, who always receives lectures frequently, has not been scolded for a few days. Tanya Albert and Timothy Ann were surprised.
“Have you been seeing someone recently?” she rolled her eyes at her mother.
“Nope”
She held the skin care container she was about to apply while the husband and wife walked in.
“What now have I not said it many times? This is my bedroom. You should knock on the door before you come in. I’m no longer a child, and I don’t like to be troubled.” Her mother waved her hand, “Alright, next time we will knock on the door.”
“I’m a grown woman. I can take care of my own matters, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
Tanya Albert sighs heavily. “How can I not care? You’re my only daughter; you just broke up with Damian Ford not long ago, and now you’ve casually found a boyfriend. Where does he work? What type of person is he? Is he sincere to you? And do you know him well?”
With a thud, Elvira dropped the cream heavily on the table, feeling a little bit irritated.
“Mom, I’ve already said it that I’m a grown-up woman, so there’s no need for you to care about these matters. If I had married Damian Ford, would you still worry about me?” Timothy Ann held her hand gently, trying to diffuse the flame between the mother and daughter. “So, have you really found a boyfriend?” he asked playfully.
“No, we’re still getting to know each other.” Elvira was aware if she had told her parents the boyfriend she found was Rex Anderson, they would definitely nag her for a long time, so she didn’t say anything.
I hope these people will stop prying into my relationship with Rex. Very soon I’ll be Mrs. Anderson, and that bitch will be thrown out for good.
“Don’t mind your mother; she just wants to know the kind of person he is, the company he works for, and his family background.”
“Dad, you’ve not given up on using me to get money, do you?” She looked at Timothy Ann wearily. “Dad, don’t set your sight on me; being an illegitimate alone and my mother being a mistress is enough; both of us have paid a quiet a bit; please don’t throw me in.”
“Of course not; can you not compare yourself with that girl? You’re not the same with her; she’s just a child I have because of my mistake. All I want to do is get to know the man because I am afraid he may not treat you well.
You’re my lovely girl; I don’t want you to be at the disadvantage,” Timothy Ann said sincerely.
“Elvira Listen to your father; we are only worried about you; we don’t want you to suffer a loss again.”
“Alright… alright, the man is so gentle and polite; he’s not as bad as you think; he doesn’t mind my engagement with Damien Ford. Once our relationship officially kicks off, I’ll inform you. Don’t be curious; let the topic end here. Hurry up and go rest. I have to go shopping, and I will come back in the evening.”
“How about I call your manager and have her get you some work? I understand a lot of things have happened these past days.”
“Mom enough, did I not say I no longer want to act like the company needs me? Besides, I’ve announced my retirement.”
Tanya Albert almost vomited blood.
“Elvira, I can still help you go back to the entertaining industry. It has always been your dream to be an actress; all I needed to do was pull some strings. Or better still, we can talk to the Ford to reconsider your engagement with Damian Ford; you work so hard to get him sweetheart you can’t let him go like that.”
“Mom, dad, don’t disturb me.”
“Okay, we’ll give you some space.”
Elvira pushes them towards the door and slams the door shut, locking it. Timothy Ann and Tanya Albert exchange worried glances.
Seeing the closed door, Timothy Ann sighed, thinking about Elvira’s expression of interest towards Rex Anderson. He was a little bit worried. Tanya Albert looked at Timothy Ann with a worried expression.
“I’m worried about Elvira; she has just broken up with Damian Ford, but I’m more worried about her new boyfriend, whom we know nothing about.”
Has Rex found out my deal with Fidelis? No, he can’t; we did a clean job.
Timothy Ann hurriedly took out his phone. However, there was no answer on the first ring he dialed; the second time, no one answered.
Not long after, a call came in.
The moment he picked it up, the person’s tone was filled with displeasure.
“Did I not already say that I’m done paying you? Stop calling me, or do you want to attract attention?”
“No! I’m getting more and more worried that someone will find out about the skeleton in our cupboard,” Timothy Ann said anxiously.
“You think too much; no one will know it. Timothy, you are not bringing this up to ask me for money after I have told you not to, right? Let me make it clear to you now: If anything happens to me, don’t you think you can escape? I have connections all over the world willing to help me, but you are different; you wouldn’t even know how you died.”
Timothy stuttered, “I didn’t want to ask you for money; I was just worried that he would take revenge on us.”
“Hahaha, you are funny. What can a wheelchair bound person do in retaliation?”
“…..”
“Relax. I have eyes everywhere, paying attention to his movement. Don’t scare yourself too much, and don’t come to the Anderson family or call me to talk nonsense. This will not be known unless you say it yourself.”
