The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 963 Rebel Psychology

Paloma turned and left while shaking her head and sighing. Anthony felt very uncomfortable.

After Mavis left, he moved back to Callahan Residence. He moved out because he was hiding from her. Now that she had left, he should go back too.

The resting place was changed from the study to his own room, but Anthony sat in the room, always feeling empty.

It was a familiar place in itself. He looked at the room, and vaguely remembered the scene they lived together when Mavis was still there.

She had tried her best to remove the traces of her past, and even tidied up the closet, but Anthony still felt that everything had her smell.

It was like never leaving.

People had to wake up from their dreams, but the reality was that every time he opened his eyes, the person next to him was no longer there, and there was no sign of her in the huge house. At night, Anthony fell asleep, but always dreamed of Mavis.

In the dream, she asked him painfully, "Why don't you believe me? Why did you choose Jaqueline instead of me?"

Anthony woke up with a start.

Looking at everything in the dark night, he suddenly felt very strange.

...

When he went to the company the next day, a series of documents rushed towards his face. When Zack sent the documents in again, he carefully observed Anthony's face.

After Anthony signed, he noticed his gaze, and said coldly, "Is there something on my face?"

Zack shook his head.

"No, Mr. Callahan, you haven't looked very well recently. I hope you can pay attention to your body."

Anthony nodded slightly, "Okay."

As he spoke, he handed over the signed document. Zack took the document, nodded and prepared to leave. Anthony stopped him.

"Wait."

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Today, my grandma's with her friend. Send someone to Callahan Residence to bring my things here. Don't mention it to anyone." Zack went to do it right away.

Anthony began to be unaccustomed to the home without Mavis, as if Mavis had become an indispensable person in the Callahan family in a year that was not too long or short.

Noon break.

Jaqueline came to find Anthony for lunch as usual.

She had always been gentle and pleasant, always with a faint smile.

As soon as she entered the door, she asked excitedly, "Anthony, what are we having for lunch today?"

When she got there, she realized that there was no food on the table. Anthony frowned and buried his head in reading the documents, but he was clearly in a daze. It took him a while to react, and he looked up at her.

"It's already noon? What do you want to eat? I'll ask Zack to bring it."

Jaqueline didn't respond, but quietly walked around behind him, gently helping him massage his shoulders.

Anthony's shoulders stiffened, but Jaqueline said to herself,

"Anthony, you are working too hard. You're so busy recently. I am very worried about your body. Promise me, take care of yourself."

As soon as Jaqueline finished speaking, Anthony gently pushed her hands away.

In order to avoid embarrassment, he got up quietly and poured her a glass of water.

Looking at him who got up, Jaqueline noticed something strange, but didn't say anything. She just stared at his back, trying to regain some sense of existence.

She went up to meet him, took the water glass, and said with a smile, "I can do this kind of trivial matter by myself. Why do you look so unhappy? Is there something wrong with the company? But the spy has left the company, so it shouldn't be..."

"I want to take a break." Before she could finish, Anthony interrupted her.

Jaqueline couldn't say anything more, so she could only go out first with "knowledge of the general situation".

As soon as she stepped out of the door with her front foot, her face changed with her back foot.

Why was Anthony so cold to her?

Was it because of Mavis?

After getting along for such a long time, Jaqueline had already fallen in love with Anthony sincerely. She even thought that if Anthony can always protect her, it would be a good choice for them to live like this forever.

If she went back there again, she will inevitably be humiliated by that man again.

At this moment, seeing Anthony troubled by Mavis, she felt jealous.

She felt that this time the strike was still too light.

...

Anthony had just sent Jaqueline away, and before he had time to catch his breath, he received a call.

The caller ID was Mr. Chen from the company's board of directors. Recently, the company had had a lot of troubles.

Seeing his call made Anthony's head hurt even more.

Even though he was unhappy, he still answered the phone.

"What is it?"

The middle-aged man on the other end was taking a bath, wiped the water, and said with a smile, "Mr. Callahan, hope that you are well. After the Callahan family handed over the Callahan Group to you, I was relieved at first, but everyone is watching what happened now. Even if it is kept secret from the outside world, it shouldn't continue like this."

The company lost core documents one after another, mainly in the business department.

They held the first-hand information with the partners.

Every loss was a major loss for Callahan Group.

This time the interests of every shareholder were involved, so this man called him.

"The company blocked the news of the lost files to appease them. If you have a better way, you can bring it up."

The man said frankly, "Mavis Parker was fired, but the matter was not resolved. Mr. Callahan, have you ever thought that this is most likely the newly brought back Jaqueline, and the documents were lost only after she entered the business department?"

Anthony frowned, and said coldly, "I will investigate this matter, but before that, I don't want others to interfere."

...

Rumors about the Callahan Group kept going. Although no one dared to talk about it openly, Jaqueline usually had a good relationship with this group of people, and it was inevitable to hear it. She'd been doing too much lately.

If she continued to do this, she may be discovered.

Depending on the situation, Jaqueline felt that she needed to rest for a while, and didn't want to watch Anthony's loss be too heavy.

After returning, Jaqueline told the current situation of Callahan Group to her adoptive father, saying that she should not act rashly now. The answer was quick. [Listen to the order and remember your identity.]

Seeing this, Jaqueline threw the phone out angrily.

Regardless of her life?

Although she was often humiliated, for some reason, Jaqueline always felt that her rebellious thoughts were getting stronger and stronger.

The other side.

Mavis had come to her destination.

The moment she saw the farm, she felt relieved.

Touching her slightly bulging stomach, she decided to live here first unless there were special circumstances.

The environment here was good. If the child was born, she or he can have fun in the ranch and farm, free and happy.

Moreover, Mavis herself came from a small mountain village of Teflayria.

This kind of environment gave her a very cordial feeling.

She was also familiar with some farm work, and her child can work with her in the future.

Mavis thought, it seemed that the time was not long, only a year.

But this year made her feel it very long. Every minute and every second seemed to be broken into halves.

At first she just cherished the time she could be with Anthony, but in the end, it seemed that there was only suffering left.

Taking things as they came, she packed up the house and moved in.

Lyra decided to hide it for the time being.
