chapter 10

Author: Late May
The next day at StarTech Co. Ltd, Anna arrived at the lobby calmly.

“Ms. Anna, are you here to see Director Shelby?” the receptionist asked with a smile.

“Yes. I want to see him,” Anna answered without any hesitation.

She had read Jacob’s reply.

However, she did not believe it!

If he wanted to say that he did not like her, then he should tell her in person. She would not accept it in sheer cold texts.

“Alright, I’ll let Director Shelby know.” The receptionist made a phone call to the director’s office immediately.

Soon, she gazed at Anna regretfully, “Ms. Wright, I’m sorry, but Director Shelby is in the middle of something. I’m afraid he can’t see you now.”

Anna’s hands clenched slightly into a fist.

‘Jacob is busy?

‘Is he really busy? Or does he just not want to see me?’

“Anna, why are you here?” A somewhat surprised voice arose at that moment.

Seth was walking towards Anna.

Before Anna had the chance to speak, he had already given off a somewhat embarrassed expression. “Hey, I-I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to call you. But don’t worry, I’ve rebuked that plank for you! He asked me to convey his apologies. He really didn't mean it when we were at the airport.”

Anna gave off a smile, but she looked worse than when she was crying, “Is that so?”

“Of course. Anna, you’re such a marvelous girl. Blanchett is nothing compared to you!” Seth nodded.

Anna lowered her eyes. She then said after a long time, “You don't have to lie to me. I asked him personally, and he said he never liked me.”

Seth swallowed all words he was about to utter immediately, and he chuckled awkwardly, “That plank Jacob… He’s still as direct as usual. Hahaha.”

Seth’s awkward laughter echoed in the lobby.

Anna stared at him in silence.

Seth took back his smile gradually. He then cleared his throat and said, “Shall we talk in the corner over there?”

He pointed to a small space that specially opened up in the corner of the lobby.

“Okay.” Anna pursed her lips and agreed to it.

The two sat down. Seth cleared his throat again and said, “Anna…”

“You don’t have to comfort me, I can take it.” Anna asserted in a calm voice that Seth could not understand. “I just want to hear him reject me in person.”

Seth sighed, “But why?”

Anna gave off a wry chuckle, “It has been four years… I’ve loved him for four whole years. I-I won’t be able to reconcile my defeat if I don’t get his rejection in person. I must figure it out no matter what.”

Anna usually looked carefree, but at that moment, a hint of fragility could be seen in her fatigue eyes.

Seth felt a little uncomfortable as he gazed at her. He could not help but say, “I’ll go get Jacob…”

As soon as he said so, the receptionist’s voice could be heard.

“Director Shelby, why are you here? Ms. Wright is waiting for you over there.” The receptionist pointed at Anna’s location.

Anna stood up immediately and stared at Jacob with her big eyes.

A faint hope flashed through her eyes. Jacob… came to see her after all. Did this mean that Jacob still could not let go of her after all?

At that moment, an enthusiastic voice pierced through the crowd in the lobby.

“Shelby, did you come down to pick me up?” Blanchett walked in from the door and she was looking at Jacob with surprise now.

The hope in Anna’s eyes was instantly swallowed into darkness.

She clenched her fists tightly.

Blanchett!

Jacob came down to see this woman?

She thought…

Jacob saw Blanchett and a slight surprise flashed through his eyes. He did not know that Blanchett would be here at this time.

Blanche was already walking towards him and enthusiastically wrapped around Jacob’s arm.

Jacob wanted to avoid it, but thinking that Anna was still watching at the side, he endured it.

Blanchett managed to hold Jacob’s arm. Her eyes glistened with a hint of glee. “Shelby, are you free today? I just came to Canada and I’m fairly unfamiliar with the people and the place. Can you take me around?”

Jacob pursed his lips and glanced towards the direction where Anna was.

Anna just stood there, staring at the two of them without even a single blink.

Blanchett followed Jacob’s sight and saw Anna too.

She could not help but say surprisingly, “Ms. Wright, you’re also here! Are you here looking for Mr. Leeds? The relationship between you two is really good. I truly hope that in the future, Shelby and I will have such a good relationship too.”

“Hey, what are you talking about?” What Blanchett said was baffling and inexplicable, and Seth could not help frowning.

“Why? Did I misunderstand?” Blanchett looked astonished, “I think, Mr. Leeds, you have always been very enthusiastic for Ms. Wright. Oh, are you still in the pursuing stage? Oh my God, I’m truly sorry, I shouldn’t have said it out loud.”

Seth was left speechless.

Bah, he was pursuing Anna? What was this?

Before Seth reacted to anything, Jacob had already taken back his gaze faintly. He looked at Blanchett calmly and said, “I just finished my work, let me take you around.”

“Okay, thanks, Shelby,” Blanchett said cheerfully.

Anna was a little anxious. She walked over and grabbed Jacob, “Jacob, don’t listen to her nonsense, there’s nothing between Seth and me.”

“Yeah. You should know me better than this. A big bust is a must, and Anna is still a bit short in that criteria, my minimum requirement is at least…” Seth started blabbering once again.

Anna could not help but glare at him.

Was this idiot helping her?

With Anna’s glare, Seth realized that the occasion was inappropriate, and immediately shut his mouth obediently.

“Puff, you two are really interesting.” Blanchett could not help but chuckle.

Jacob’s expression remained unchanged.

“Jacob, don't get me wrong, I...” Anna gritted her teeth and explained.

Jacob interrupted her directly, “Anna, you’re the one who misunderstood. No matter what kind of relationship you have with Seth, what does it have to do with me? I would even give you my most sincere blessing if both of you can really get together.”

With that said, Jacob brought Blanchett along and left directly.

Anna stood there stunned as if she had just received a huge uppercut.

Jacob! He! Truly did not care?

Anna rushed to the door like a maniac. “Jacob Shelby, you stand right there.”

Jacob stopped and gazed at her indifferently, “Anything else?”

“You…” Anna condensed the last glimmer of hope and glanced at Jacob quietly. “It has been four years. You really don't care about me at all?”

“I thought I had already made everything very clear through the phone yesterday,” Jacob replied unconcernedly.

    “That person was from the Dark Night Agency?” Susan Shelby was rather astonished. “Julian hasn't told you yet, right?” said Luke Jenkins. “I believe that he did not because he was afraid you would worry too much. However, I believe that you should know this.”Susan nodded, feeling even more curious in her heart. “But... why did the person from the Dark Night Agency want to deal with me?”The so-called Dark Night Agency had suffered a huge loss due to Luke once in the past. It was fully understandable why they’d wanted to deal with Luke. However, why had that person actually pointed his gun at Susan at the final moment?Had he mistaken her for someone else?That was impossible. A powerful assassin sent from a terrifying agency like this would not make such a lowly mistake. In other words, someone in the Dark Night Agency hated her more than Luke.Susan frowned and pondered this. Something just did not add up. “I don’t have many details on this matter either. All in all, y

    “I can’t,” said Mandy Ainsley softly. “If I don’t say this now, I won’t have the chance to talk about this again. Luke, I wanted to be in my best form when I met you today, yet I deceived you. I didn’t live a good life in the past few years. I didn’t take any money with me when I left my family. In order to look for you, I worked many hard labor jobs, and now my face is no longer delicate and pretty and my hands are also rough beyond comparison. Luke, do I look bad?”Mandy’s voice was tinged with a little fear. Luke Jenkins felt something move his heart ferociously. Mandy had left her family so she could look for him?A socialite like her had actually gone to this extent for him…Luke was overwhelmed with mixed feelings so he could only say in a gentle voice, “No, Mandy, you still look very pretty. You are as beautiful as you were in the past.”“Really?” Mandy’s eyes lit up, yet their brightness dimmed soon. She said in dejection, “I know myself. Luke, stop lying to me.”“I’m

    Luke Jenkins felt rather shocked upon watching Julian Shaw run about wildly with Mandy Ainsley in his arms. Mandy? Why would Mandy block the bullet?He had blocked the bullet out of instinct because he loved Susan Shelby!However, the reason Mandy had blocked the bullet was…Luke suddenly did not have the courage to think further. He clenched his teeth and charged toward them. As for the policeman that had been shot by Julian on the spot, someone would come over to handle that later. In case there was a shooting incident, Julian’s group of people had been supposed to stay back and assist in the investigation. However, no one had dared to step forward and stop them upon seeing the vehicle registration plate on Julian’s car. Julian started the engine and drove at full speed toward the nearest hospital. Susan applied pressure on Mandy’s gunshot wound in a panic, her voice shaking. “Mandy, hold on, you have to hold on. We’re going to reach the hospital soon. You’re going t

    “Long time no see.” Luke had calmed down as well.He had hated and resented Mandy before. However, when he looked back at those events, he realized that everything had happened for a reason. He was the one who should be held responsible. He was the one who had set the fire in the beginning. All Mandy had done was merely add fuel to the fire.Therefore, the hate he had felt for her had lessened day by day. By the time he saw her again, he did not feel hate anymore.“You…” Mandy’s eyes were filled with a myriad of complex emotions. There were plenty of questions in her mind. She wanted to know where he had been over the years. She wanted to know what kind of trouble he had run into. She wanted to know why he would suddenly return to Canada and why he would emerge from a police station. All these questions kept swirling in Mandy’s head. In the end, she just asked, “How are you?” After all, none of those questions mattered anymore. At the end of the day, she just wanted to know how

    “Don’t worry too much, Susie.” George comforted her. “The Dark Night hasn’t found Luke yet. They don’t know that Luke revealed the news to us, so it goes without saying that they wouldn’t take any countermeasures. In the past, we were the ones shadowboxing, but the situation has changed. Now, they are kept in the dark. We are in Canada, and our team is the strongest. There is no reason for this operation to fail.”“Alright then.” Susan nodded, although she still felt nervous. She knew there was a high probability of saving Luke, but Mandy could not wait for so long. If something went sideways and the rescue was delayed a bit, she might not be able to see Luke in the end. As Susan had ants in her pants, Oliver’s call came. George answered the call. After he hung up, George did not beat around the bush. A grin immediately spread across his face. “The extraction was a success. Luke is safe, and all the Dark Night personnel has been contained. Right now, he is on his way to the po

    “How could you blame something like that on Lucas?” Susan frowned angrily. Even though Mandy was in bad shape, she should not vent her resentment on a kid.“Why can’t I blame him? My life was going well before I had him. It’s only after I got pregnant with him that my luck began to go downhill. He is such a jinx, and I have every reason to believe that he is the one who caused this ailment to me,” Mandy said sharply. Lucas did not dare fight back, but his eyes had gone red around the rims.“Luca, your mommy is just throwing a tantrum. You don’t have to take everything she said to heart.” Susan hastily wrapped Lucas into her arms and comforted him.“Hah! Everything I said is true,” Mandy said expressionlessly. “He is a curse that nobody wants.”The disgust in Mandy’s eyes was too deep and powerful. Lucas finally could not hold back anymore and burst into tears. As he cried, he shouted, “Luca is not a curse! Luca is not a curse.”“Hah! You are not? Even your own parents don’t li
