Chapter 190: Chapter 190

"Jean Zane’s parents? Didn’t they commit suicide?" Anna asked Finn.

"Yes, because I didn’t save them, so they killed themselves!"

"You Bankrupted the Zane family but didn’t save them... you weren’t the only one who didn’t help."

Anna’s words brought a glimmer to Finn’s previously dark eyes.

But Anna yawned and squinted her eyes: "I’ll take a nap, wake me up when we arrive."

After saying that, Anna indeed dozed off in the passenger seat.

This morning was really early, and she’s been exhausted from the film shooting; taking advantage of not having to drive today, she’s using this time to catch some sleep.

Finn observed her for a while as Anna’s breathing became calm and even when she closed her eyes.

The little woman’s eyelashes were long and thick, and naturally curled.

Since she was going to the set for makeup, Anna was completely barefaced, yet her skin was as white and smooth as a peeled egg.

For a moment, Finn felt like he had an angel sleeping next to him.

The key is, she actually slept so peacefully beside him?

Fearing to disturb this ’angel,’ Finn instinctively lightened his breathing,

took off his jacket, and carefully covered her with it before starting the car.

Later, when they arrived at the set, Finn seeing Anna sleeping soundly, couldn’t bring himself to wake her up.

It was Mary who noticed the car stopped but no one got out, worried about Anna, hurried to knock on the car window.

The sound of knocking awoke Anna rubbing her eyes: "Are we there?"

Finn answered her as he glanced at Mary.

Oh no! Mary now increasingly suspects she’s on the assassination list.

"Hmm, thank you for the jacket, at least I didn’t drool on it." Anna returned the jacket to him.

"Better if there’s drool, I won’t wash it, I’ll keep it as a treasure!"

"Is this a new cheesy line? So mushy!" Anna rubbed her arm in disgust and got out of the car.

Finn got out as well.

"Young Master Grant, do you have something else to do?"

"Nothing, just letting you know, I’ll come see you again this afternoon."

Finn’s gaze was glued to Anna ever since she woke up, giving a strange feeling.

What Anna didn’t know was, it was in the car earlier too.

Finn was constantly looking at Anna, not the road; fortunately, luck was on their side, no accident occurred.

Luckily, Anna with calm mind slept through it, escaping a nerve-wracking journey.

"My shoot this afternoon is quite tight, nothing interesting to see..."

Anna tried to decline but Finn interrupted: "You’re all the interest I need. I’m mainly here to see you. Don’t worry, I promise not to disturb your crew’s progress, just prepared some humorous cheesy lines to tell you when you get to rest."

When has Finn ever visited the set without disrupting shooting?

Hearing this man’s difficult promise, Anna thought she was still dreaming.

She was about to pinch her arm but Finn grabbed her hand.

"Pinch me instead, don’t hurt yourself. ...Ouch, it actually hurts, we’re not dreaming!" Finn pinched his own arm, grinning toothily at Anna, "You thought you weren’t awake? Silly girl!"

Anna was thunderstruck by Finn’s parting nickname before leaving.

Especially the final movie-like head rub from Finn as he got into the car.

"Mary, do you think Finn was acting weird today?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel※fire.net

Mary nodded: "Yes! Anna, do you remember Owen Winters who loved you hopelessly? I think Young Master Grant is a bit like that now!"

Mary was referring to one of the suitors Anna encountered abroad.

That was the most obsessive pursuer Anna had seen, so obsessed it left a psychological shadow for her and Pop.

Initially, it could be said Finn was only interested in Anna.

But if he gets increasingly genuine, that’s trouble!

After that, Finn visited Anna’s set more frequently.

This really worried Mary.

But actually, Young Master Grant truly did as he said, without interfering with the shooting. He listened to Anna, staying put when told, and never going around scaring people.

Even when watching Anna act with other male actors, holding hands; despite being angry, he didn’t intervene.

He just noted it and the person’s name down, preparing to find someone to beat him up at night.

But worried about delaying filming progress, displeasing Anna.

Ultimately deciding to wait till the wrap-up to do it!

And Anna and Marilyn, with adjacent sets, saw each other every day and she noticed the hostility from that woman.

Oddly, last time at the hospital mistaking Anna for entangling with Conrad Sterling, that matter had no follow-up.

In Anna’s view, Marilyn’s not a particularly generous person, only pretends to be.

Didn’t she earlier keep calling Conrad over to show off their love every few days?

Why has there been no action lately?

Actually, it’s due to rumors about Conrad Sterling frequently visiting entertainment venues quietly spreading.

Initially assumed to be baseless, Marilyn didn’t believe.

For all these years, Conrad Sterling’s image was untouched by female allure. Previously, even if he inevitably had to visit clubs offering special services, he’d leave early letting others enjoy.

But Marilyn couldn’t restrain herself, using her family connections found Conrad’s spending records, surprisingly two nights were spent at Alice Club.

Finally, even Marilyn’s mother knew about this.

One day, Marilyn came home for a meal, and her mother Amelia brought it up: "Marilyn dear, I heard about Conrad..."

"Mom, I know what you want to say. It’s impossible!" Marilyn hurriedly denied before her mom spoke, "Conrad’s not that kind of person!"

"But my friend saw him while at the beauty salon, said she met President Sterling in a club that night. Several others saw him, said it vividly, personally saw him entering a room with a chick in his arm..."

"Mom, you weren’t there yourself! Maybe they saw wrong! Don’t spread it around lest Conrad and Dad hear and get upset!"

"I’m only saying it today because it’s just the two of us home," Amelia moved her seat closer to her daughter, "Marilyn, you’re about to marry, some things mom must make clear. Men, are just like that."

"Mom, Conrad is different."

"What’s different? Look at the four families as examples, the Willow Family, the Hawthorne Family are known for playing around, with a bunch of illegitimate children embarrassing themselves at banquets. Closer examples, your two cousins, even your dad..."

"Forget about your father!" Amelia paused, "Mom has lived long enough to know men are just like that. Especially those in high positions like your dad, women swarm around like flies, can’t chase them all off. Even if you chase one batch away, a new batch younger and prettier comes along. Us women see it so often, we learn to live with it."

"You think, with Conrad Sterling steeped in such environment long-term, can he be expected to stay chaste? If truly, why would he have an illegitimate daughter already? He still hasn’t given us a clear answer to send them away, why keep them? To solace when lonely and tired after marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Marilyn clenched her palm.

"Marilyn dear, I’m not speaking ill of Conrad. But as your parents, we worry about you marrying poorly. You must follow my advice this time, we need to give Conrad a fidelity test before wedding!" Amelia proposed.

"Test his loyalty, see if he can resist temptation!"
