Chapter 355: Chapter 355

Anna’s attitude seemed as if she really wasn’t afraid at all.

This made Zoe Bowen uncertain; could it really have nothing to do with her?

But apart from Anna, who else would have a grudge against her, enough to mess with her ?

The commotion Zoe Bowen made with her manager caught a lot of attention on the set.

Even Director Nash was startled.

Director Nash stepped in and personally vouched for Anna: "Zoe, Anna has been busy with filming. She’s the first to arrive at the set every morning, works until late at night, and goes home exhausted. Where would she find the time to worry about such trivial matters? Besides, Anna isn’t the vindictive type; she wouldn’t get someone to hit you! I think you should consider if you’ve offended anyone else recently."

Director Nash remembered that scene clearly; it was Zoe Bowen who had gone too far.

When he saw Anna being slapped, it was painful to watch, but for the sake of set harmony and the quality of the performance, she said nothing. That was very generous of her.

Instead, it was Zoe Bowen who kept nagging, biting people like a mad dog.

Director Nash had previously appreciated Zoe Bowen’s steadiness and dedication to her acting career, so he often wanted to support her if there was a chance.

But he never realized her true nature was ; he hadn’t seen it before.

Or perhaps she only used to keep a low profile because her status in the industry wasn’t high. Now, with a bit of fame, she’s showing her true colors.

Zoe Bowen thought she had a good rapport with Director Nash, stemming from their continued collaboration from previous projects.

But now, with the new series filming for only a short time, Director Nash sides entirely with Anna after just a few days.

And on set, everyone else also thought she was making a fuss over nothing.

Zoe Bowen was unwilling, but she couldn’t present any evidence that both her injuries were related to Anna.

With no evidence and to save face, she couldn’t call the police. She had to swallow this bitter pill.

But since she was there, Zoe Bowen left a harsh remark for Anna before leaving.

"Just you wait and see!"

The grudge between these two was officially established.

But Anna wasn’t afraid of her!

That day, Anna finished work early; when she got home, the two little ones had already gotten out of school and were doing homework on the Persian carpet in the hall downstairs.

But what homework would kindergarten have? Lola was sitting and reading a book, while Pop was lying down, drawing with watercolor pens and cheekily snacking on the sunflower seeds from the nearby coffee table.

Conrad Sterling was there too. Recently, President Sterling had been getting off work more punctually than his employees, personally picking up the kids from kindergarten.

Seeing Pop stuffing entire sunflower seeds into her mouth, Conrad lightly cleared his throat to remind her to spit them out, as it was very unhygienic.

Lola, noticing the scene, took the initiative to grab a handful of sunflower seeds, shelling them and feeding the kernels to her sister.

Anna walked in on this scene, and her heart both warmed and softened.

"Lola, come here to Mommy for a moment," she beckoned.

Upon hearing this, Lola closed her big book and walked over to Anna.

Anna was already sitting on a single sofa chair, situated at the farthest possible diagonal from where Conrad was sitting.

Seeing Anna lift little Lola onto her lap, President Sterling’s steady eyebrows slightly twitched.

Tomorrow he would have all the single seater sofas at home replaced.

"Lola, I want to ask you a question, and you must answer honestly, okay?" For more chapters visıt novel~fire~net

Lola looked at her mom’s slightly serious face and nodded.

"Did you ask Big Bear to do something today?"

Lola bit her lip, nodding again, and admitted her mistake proactively: "It’s wrong to hit people, I know. Please don’t be mad!"

"How could Mommy be mad?" Anna looked at Lola’s cute little face, her lips pursed in an earnest expression, and she couldn’t help but feel cherished.

Facing such a little face, who could get angry?

What’s more, Lola clearly stated that she understood it was wrong to hit, as if he knew all the principles, yet still decided to do it to stand up for Mommy.

Apologizing didn’t mean regret or admitting a mistake; he just didn’t want Mommy to be mad.

This response struck right at Anna’s heart, making it feel like a sponge.

This child was really something!

Anna couldn’t help but look up and question the heavens; whose divine baby was this?

Could anyone else have given birth to such a child?

Seeing Lola watching her nervously, afraid she was angry, Anna quickly patted the little one’s soft hair, soothing her: "Mommy will never be mad at you, Lola, thank you for protecting me, my little man!"

Anna couldn’t resist giving Lola’s soft white cheeks two big kisses.

But she had to clarify, this was absolutely not an encouragement.

We’re committed to not encouraging kids to use violence to solve problems first.

This is merely a reward!

Even though Conrad was sitting at the farthest diagonal from Anna, they were under the same roof, and the president wasn’t blind.

To stand up for her was meddling when it involved Conrad, heavy-handed and clumsy.

But when Lola, the little rascal, got someone to act? The praise was: "My baby is just adorable! Brave! Smart! Lovable!"

That was one thing; President Sterling wasn’t bothered by verbal praise or criticism.

What he cared about was verbal rewards!

How many kisses had Anna given Lola? None were received as a reward for him.

At that moment, President Sterling felt surrounded by a cloud of lemons – one word: sour!

Moreover, Lola, the little rascal, acted coyly disinterested in Anna’s kisses, squirming off her lap in embarrassment.

This reaction tugged at Anna’s heart!

She later texted Mary inquiring:[Is it true that from zero to three years old is the best time for children to develop a bond with their mother? I feel like I’ve missed something really important since Lola isn’t too keen on being close to me.]

Mary, a longtime single lady, didn’t know anything about this!

Anna primarily felt that she wasn’t doing enough.

Lola was only three years old, yet his intelligence was astounding. He could manage his own life, seemingly with no area needing Anna in the role of mom.

Instead, this three-year-old was protecting her, which made Anna feel quite ashamed.

Despite the shame, Anna couldn’t help but glare at Conrad Sterling, the root cause of the child’s hesitation to be close to her!

President Sterling: "???"

A few days later, Anna would find her disdain for Conrad Sterling justified.

Because Angela Thornton was about to arrive in Aethelgard, she worked at the same company and often loitered around her,

No doubt bringing lots of trouble for Anna.
