Chapter 190 I Am Late
Bill turned excited suddenly. Except for Anna, who could invite Jack in this world?
He would be her own agent.
It was time for Kevin, a contemptible scoundrel, to exit the stage.

After several major operations, Mary started to stir in the top hospital in the city.
“How is Anna?” was the first question when she woke up.
Sylvia hesitated. If she told Mary the truth now, Mary’s condition might worsen again. Therefore, she lied, trying to cover it.
But Mary was really worried about Anna. “Give me my phone. Let me see.”
Sylvia sighed and had to give her the phone. “What you need to do now is to take good care of yourself.”
Mary read the posts and comments in a panic, hands shivering. She was terrified by the word “killer”. “How can they talk nonsense?”
Sylvia pressed her down helplessly. “They have mouths. We can’t control what they say. Lie still. Anna will visit you soon.”
On the other hand, outside the ward, Anna had been talking to the attending doctor for a long time.
“Miss Anna, don’t worry. Her condition is still under control. Supposedly, she will be able to wait for a suitable donor, as long as resting without disturbance.”
“According to Mr. Jack’s request, we’re looking for donors around the world. I believe good news will come soon.”
“Thanks a lot, doctor.”
The doctor nodded and left with Mary’s medical record.
Anna pushed the door open and stepped towards Mary. She couldn’t find her voice, thus sitting on the bedside and holding Mary’s hand. “Sorry, I’m late. You have nothing to do with the matter between me and your brother. I haven’t received any news from you. I don’t know how ill you are…”
“I’m fine.” Mary bent her head.
“What does ‘fine’ mean?” Anna frowned hopelessly. To some extent, Mary was as stubborn as her.
Mary eyed her calm look and asked worriedly, “There are so many rumors because of me. Aren’t you afraid?”
“That’s none of your business. You just take a rest.” Anna comforted her gently, “There are all kinds of fish in the sea. I get used to it. Besides, you know I get married. With his protection, I will be fine.”
“I can clarify it for you at any time, if you want!”
“Enough. Mr. Jack can handle everything. Take good care of yourself!” Sylvia shouted to Mary, annoyed.
Sylvia felt she had done something wrong. She turned around and talked to Anna. “I’m sorry. I trusted Kevin credulously. If I hadn’t talked too much, he wouldn’t have known these things…”
“I won’t blame you. He’s too scheming.”
Kevin took advantage of Sylvia’s innocence and her concern for Mary; thus things worsened.
“But… your fans are too mean.”
“It’d be better to let Mary and me be your fan leaders! We must be better than them!”
Anna looked at them and smiled. “Deal. When you get better, I’ll allow you.”

According to the exposed itinerary, reporters lurked at the airport, waiting to take photos of Anna. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Many reporters said that what would happen today would be definitely big news. They hadn’t seen so many fans gathered together to scold or reprimand an actress, not to welcome her. Because of hatred, they kept waiting here.
Holding up banners and phones, the fans gathered around the exit.
One reporter looked at the big screen at the airport again. “In ten minutes, Anna will walk out from here. What’s the truth? Did she really…”
Lucy turned off the TV angrily.
On the other hand, Anna was reading a magazine on the balcony.
“The lawyer has sent the termination announcement to the Ole in the morning. Chen should have received the news.”
“I see…”
Anna replied indifferently, not looking up.
“Anna, I didn’t expect them to be so disgusting. I browsed around less than two minutes yesterday and threw my phone away with anger.”
“You shouldn’t have done that.” Anna was nonchalant.
“I care about you! You’re the public focus in the show business. Unprecedentedly, your fans go to the airport to curse you, to make you confess, and to let you quit the showbiz… You don’t care at all?”
“I…”
Anna didn’t know what to say, but her calm expression had given the answer.
In the past, she was controlled by rumors, harnessing her temper not to argue. But now, she did let go. Not everyone would gain this kind of relief.
Lucy knew she didn’t dare, thus relieved.
But the next second, Chen called.
“Answer it?” Lucy looked at Anna. Anna nodded and took the phone.
“Are you back?” Chen was kind of shocked. If she was on the plane, she couldn’t answer it.
After receiving the announcement, Chen suspected that Anna might have returned to China. Based on her previous experiences, it was impossible for Anna to be blocked by anti-fans at the airport.
“Yes.” Anna didn’t lie to her.
The two people, who used to be hostile, finally could talk peacefully under the circumstance.
If without a hierarchy, they might be friends.
“I received your termination letter.” Chen felt complicated. As the CEO, she had to say, “Because of you, our reputation has been impaired, and we suffer a lot!”
“Only because of me? Not the one who leaked the news?”
Anna referred to Kevin.
“Besides, as my agent, the Ole hasn’t given any response. I think the Ole is also responsible for this. So we don’t have to argue. Sign it. I’ve already signed it.”
“The Ole will officially announce that you’re kicked out. This is for our future. I hope you can understand.”
“I’ve expected it. You’re always a selfish and shameless businessman.” Anna responded harshly. “I hope you’ll be happy about your future.”
Clenching her phone, Chen sneered, “Yeah, I’m selfish. But if you don’t think of yourself in the showbiz, you won’t have a foothold. You’re a rare exception. But you don’t know how many people were blocked by you. When you despise others, have you ever thought that you will change one day?”
