Chapter 189: Chapter 189

"When did this happen?"

"Just this afternoon, at the Grant Group’s building. Some say it’s because they couldn’t get a loan from Finn Grant and were driven to suicide in desperation. Others say Finn Grant forced them to death!"

"What about Jean Zane?"

"It seems she’s gone abroad, left overnight, like she’s evading someone."

Mary sighed, "Anna, you don’t know, I used to really hope for a good man to take care of you and Pop. So, when Young Master Grant first appeared, I thought maybe our luck had arrived, and I spent a week eating vegetarian to fulfill a vow. At the beginning, I thought Young Master Grant was good in every way, rich and handsome, far better to you than President Sterling. But now, I think he’s really terrifying!"

"How am I terrifying?"

Finn Grant’s voice came from behind, and all of Mary’s hair stood on end.

She stiffly turned her back, feeling she should eat another week of vegetarian to ward off bad luck.

Why do I always get caught speaking ill at the time by the person? I’m really unlucky lately.

Mary forced a laugh and braved to joke, "Young Master Grant, how come it’s such a coincidence? Met you at the set during the day, and now I’m meeting you with Anna at the doorstep."

"What I wanted to give last time wasn’t delivered, so today I made a special wait here."

As Finn Grant appeared, Anna Thornton saw him carrying many gifts, including a half-human-sized Doraemon plush toy.

"These are all for your little one. I’ve long wanted to meet your daughter."

Mary quietly pinched Anna Thornton’s hand from behind, and Anna knew what she meant.

The last time at the hospital, Conrad Sterling already warned Anna that getting involved with Finn Grant would be troublesome, at which Anna retorted that everyone has a dark side.

But Pop was too young, and Anna had no intention of developing feelings with Finn Grant, so naturally, there was no reason to let him have much contact with the child.

"Sorry, Young Master Grant, so late the child is already asleep."

Upon hearing this, Finn Grant raised an eyebrow, "Then, should I come back tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow won’t work, I have a full day of filming at the set and a big night scene, I’m afraid I’ll be too busy!"

"Since you’re so busy, who takes care of the child for you?"

"I’ve hired a specialized nanny at home, and Mary will also help me."

"How about this? You bring your daughter to the set, and when I come looking for you tomorrow, I can help take care of her, I quite... like kids."

Hearing this, Anna hadn’t spoken when Mary couldn’t help but interrupt, "Young Master Grant, our Anna is a public figure, and although it’s been exposed she has a child, we’d still hope to ensure the child’s privacy as much as possible."

Upon hearing Mary’s words, Finn Grant’s expression seemed understanding.

He simply handed the gifts to Anna Thornton, "Then you take them."

"These things are too precious, how can I accept so many gifts from you?"

"Won’t let me see your daughter, won’t even accept the gifts? Anna Thornton, you’re not the kind to be so formal with me, are you?"

Seeing Finn Grant’s face change a little, Anna Thornton had no choice but to accept that Doraemon plush, "A three-year-old child shouldn’t receive too many gifts, don’t spoil her. Just this one is fine. Pop should like the doll!"

Hearing her words, Finn Grant’s face eased a bit, "If she likes it, I’ll buy more next time."

"You guys go ahead, I’ll watch you go upstairs."

Finn Grant leaned against his car door, watching Anna Thornton and Mary’s backs as they entered the building.

Once they got home, Mary ran to the living room window to look down, "Anna, Young Master Grant is still down there, staring at our window."

Mary wanted to draw the curtains, but only pulled them halfway before Anna stopped her.

"Let him watch. This is the twenty-third floor, he can’t climb up here."

"What about this doll? Really going to give it to Pop?"

"Give it. It’s his sentiment for the child, just treat it like a friend’s gift."

"But really, hearing the news about Jean Zane’s parents jumping off to commit suicide, now when I see Young Master Grant, I feel a chill down my spine! Anna, do you think he did this for you? That would mean you caused two lives to be lost by association?"

Mary immediately denied what she said, "No! It’s not your fault! You didn’t ask Finn Grant to deal with the Zane Family, and a little friction wouldn’t lead to two deaths. Could it be the Zane Family offended him in some way?"

"I don’t know." Anna also shook her head in confusion, "All I know is that at the Willow Family banquet, Jean Zane spoke ill of Finn Grant."

"Ah, just because of one bad word, leading to family ruin? I mentioned their Grant Family’s past deaths before, and said he’s scary, might my name already be on an assassination list?"

Mary frightened herself, turning pale at her own words.

"No, seeing his manner, he doesn’t seem to want to pursue you. But in front of him, try not to act like you find him terrifying."

Anna intuitively knew that Finn Grant didn’t appreciate people viewing him with fear or dread.

Anna got ready to head to the set early, but upon opening her door, she saw Finn Grant standing right outside.

Mary was startled into a scream, but recalling Anna’s advice, she held back the rest of the scream, "Ah... Young Master Grant, why are you here?" Fresh chapters posted on ⓝovelFire.net

"I came to take you to the set."

"I can drive myself to the set!" Anna stated.

"Then let your agent drive your car, you ride in mine." Finn Grant wasn’t about to come for nothing, and decidedly arranged things for them, "By the way, can I see your daughter now?"

"Pop hasn’t gotten up, she likes to sleep in."

Upon hearing this, Finn Grant peeked into the house, where only a nanny was tidying up, indeed not seeing any trace of the child.

Finn Grant felt some disappointment, "Then I still can’t know if she likes the gift I gave?"

"No rush, I’ll call at noon when she wakes up and check."

Mary was uneasy letting Anna ride alone in Finn Grant’s car, so she followed.

"Young Master Grant, why not take both me and Anna?"

Finn Grant glanced at her, impatient, "I said for you to drive yourself!"

"You see, Mary only recently got her domestic driver’s license and isn’t familiar with Aethelgard’s roads. So, how about this..."

Anna turned to Mary, "You drive behind Young Master Grant’s car, then you won’t worry about getting lost."

Anna’s clever! Mary following behind gives some comfort.

But as Mary got in the car, Finn Grant didn’t rush to move.

Anna fastened her seatbelt and urged him, "Let’s go then."

"You’ve heard the rumor about the Zane couple jumping at my company, do you also find me scary like them?" Finn Grant asked Anna Thornton.
