Chapter 85 The Yan Family Was Nothing Compared to the Bai Family
It was also late at night, but Clark didn't sleep either. He stood alone in the balcony of the room to feel the wind.
Just now, he had received investigation results from his men. According to the information, Anna had married a foreigner after she had broken off the engagement with him and had not divorced yet.
She had been pregnant for four months, but she had been back for less than three months.
Needless to say, the result was obvious, that Anna was sent by the Bai Family for some reason.
At the moment, the Bai Group was in big trouble. It was in need of a large amount of money. The Bai Group had owed the bank a lot of loan, so it was impossible for them to lend even a cent from the bank now.
There was a glimmer of coldness in Clark's eyes. Against the dark night, his face was gloomy.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. It was Amanda. She walked in with two goblets and a bottle of wine in her hands.
"Brother, it's so late and you are still awake. Why don't we have a drink?" Amanda smiled at him.
Hearing her words, Clark walked towards her.
Amanda was more beautiful and elegant now. She was totally different from the shy and inexperienced girl.
Amanda poured the wine into the goblets and handed one of them to Clark. When she saw that he didn't take the glass, she couldn't help but frown. "Is there something on your mind, brother?"
After a moment's hesitation, Clark took the goblet from her hand, clinked it with hers, raised his neck and drank it up.
Amanda smiled at him and said, "Brother, that's such a waste that you drink it up."
"Come to the point!" Clark replied flatly.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to Amanda. She asked, "I heard that you've invested a lot of movies and TV plays recently. You go to the filming site every day and get close to a female star whose family name is Yan..."
Clark frowned after hearing what Amanda said.
"Oh, come on," Amanda cleared her throat and realized that Clark was upset with her. So she explained, "I used to be curious about how people shoot a film. Can you take me with you to the filming site next time?"
Clark looked her up and down, trying to find out what she really meant.
Amanda smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, I did have a dream of being a superstar before. But now I've grown up. I know our parents wouldn't allow me to do that, so I just want to go to the site to have a look. I don't have any other ideas."
Clark nodded his head and replied, "I will brought you with me next time I go to the filming site."
After that, Amanda left cheerfully.
After she got back to her room, Amanda looked at the photo of Rachel in her phone with a smile of appreciation.
The next day, when Anna went shopping with his mother, Fiona, she suddenly saw an annoying face.
Looking at Tristan, who was picking clothes not far away, Anna's face turned pale and her fists clenched involuntarily.
Noticing her strange look, Fiona looked at the direction what Anna looked at and asked, "What's wrong with you, Anna?"
Anna pointed at Nancy not far away from them and said unhappily, "Mom, do you see that woman? She was the one who gave abortive medicine to me last time and made me almost have a miscarriage."
"Is it really her?" Fiona looked at Nancy; there was a hint of chill in her eyes.
Fiona then walked to Nancy and slapped the latter on her face!
Before Nancy could react, she was slapped. She got furious immediately!
"Who are you? Why do you slap me?" Nancy covered her face with one hand and turned around to see a strange face.
But she soon found that Anna was not far behind Fiona. Anna looked quite similar to Fiona, Nancy immediately understood.
Fiona said coldly, "Don't mess with my daughter anymore, or I won't let you go easily!"
Nancy, on the other hand, responded with a dismissive laugh. Suddenly, a vicious light flashed through her eyes as she slapped on Fiona's face!
Bang! Fiona was immediately slapped!
"How dare you?" Fiona blurted out. She covered her face with her hand and looked at Nancy in surprise. Clearly, she did not expect Nancy would slap her back.
At this time, Clark was on the phone in his office when a subordinate called him. "Mr. Clark, Miss Nancy and Mrs. Fiona are slapping each other. Shall we go to stop them?"
Clark stopped what he was doing. There was a flicker of surprise in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Well, let the two families have a good time!" Without waiting for the response, he hung up the phone.
His fingers tapped on the table from time to time. He was lost in thought, but no one knew what he was thinking about.
In the mall, Nancy was so angry that she pointed at Fiona and scolded, "You old woman, don't think that I will be afraid of you since you are from the Bai Family? Humph! My family is much more powerful than the Bai Family! Wanna fight? I'll fight with you to the end!"
Finishing her words, Nancy she turned around and walked away with an angry face.
Fiona was so angry that her face turned livid, her chest heaving, and she could not speak for a long time.
Anna was a little worried. She took a step forward, took Fiona's hand and said, "Mom, if it happens again in the future, let's endure it patiently. If the Yan Family really goes against us, we will be in great trouble."
"What are you afraid of?" Fiona gave a cold smile. "Although our family is in trouble for the time being, the Yan Family still cannot compare with us. How can I let her pick on you and do nothing?"
Anna was moved, saying, "Mom, you are so nice to me! Thanks very much!"
"Silly girl, I am not only protecting you, but also the reputation of the Bai Family!" said Fiona, love and tenderness reflected in her eyes.
At this time, Amanda was going to the filming site with Clark. She wanted to feel the atmosphere of the shooting deliberately.
When they arrived at the site, Amanda was immediately attracted by the most beautiful star in the crowd, who was shooting a movie, Rachel.
In the troubled times, George's wife, Lucia, ran away with another man with their kid because she couldn't stand the life with him.
George sold all the valuable things in the family and still couldn't keep Lucia.
Poverty made him sick in bed and at his last gasp.
He couldn't even reach out for a bowl of water.
Right then, the door creaked open. Joyce walked in in a simple dress, followed by an old woman.
George thought it was Lucia who came back. With surprise and happiness, he raised his head, but he was stunned.
"It's you...... Joyce?" George murmured in disbelief.
Joyce looked around the shabby house and couldn't believe it was his home.
In her memory, George's family was not rich, but it was middle class. So in her memory, he was not so sloppy.
George noticed the surprise in Joyce's eyes. He lowered his head and asked, "Why are you here?"
Joyce sat down in a chair beside the bed and said calmly, "Lucia asked me to take care of you before she left."
"She...... How could she say that to you?" All of a sudden, George felt so ashamed of himself. As a man, did he have to rely on a woman to live on?
Joyce swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue and changed the subject. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I have asked the cook to make some food and I have brought it here for you."
As soon as she finished her words, the old woman put the basket in her hand down and took the dishes out.
George's heart ached when he saw so many delicious dishes on the table. He used to be a man without worrying about food or clothing.
But ever since he married Lucia, his life was getting worse day by day.
He raised his hand but found that his hand was so weak.
"Let me feed you!" Joyce picked up a plate, put it on the table and began to feed George carefully.
Jared tried to eat all the food fed to him by Joyce. Although he did not feel like eating, he wanted to cherish this opportunity.
"Joyce, I don't have much time left." George choked with sobs, tears streaming down his face.
The chopsticks in Joyce's hand shook and her eyes were full of tears. She replied in the same choked voice, "I know."
