“What do you mean? When did I entangle with him?”
Earlier in the hospital, I was already in a bad mood because of Justin. Hence, I was infuriated when Michael accused me of entangling with that scumbag.
“Anna Garcia, I want an explanation from you today! I won’t accept a woman who still has something to do with other men.”
Michael’s voice turned cold and stony as he spoke. Although he was wearing the sunglasses, I could still sense his icy gaze falling on me.
“Didn’t you investigate my relationship with Justin already? He’s my ex-fiancé, and we have broken up. I suppose you already knew about it, don’t you? If you can’t accept the fact that I was engaged before, then there’s nothing I can do.”
My attitude was harsh, but I couldn’t help it. His unfounded accusation had very much annoyed me.
Hearing my words, Michael furrowed his brows and glowered at me.
I could sense his anger, yet I couldn’t care less about it. Hmph! You’re not the only one who is angry! Who are you to demand an explanation from me?
“Anna Garcia! Watch your tone!”
Michael took off his sunglasses and stared coldly at me. The anger in his eyes was evident.
Intimidated by the man’s domineering aura, my eyes flickered with a hint of panic. Instantly, I made a valiant effort to hold my temper in check. Calm down, Anna. If you piss him off, he might take back the two hundred thousand he lent you.
Suppressing my anger, I forced a smile and softened my tone as I apologized, “I’m sorry. I forgot myself.”
Although Michael was still exuding a cold aura, his expression had softened.
“So, tell me. Do you still have anything to do with Justin? I told you before, to be my woman, you must first be faithful.”
Casting his questioning gaze at me, the man once again brought up the previous conversation.
Can’t he stop dwelling on this matter? Did he even see me entangling with Justin? How could he accuse me like that?
Although I was infuriated, I suppressed my fury for the sake of that twenty thousand. Anna, you need that money to save Dad. You can’t risk Dad’s life because of your temper.
“Justin and I, we’re done from the moment he cheated on me with my best friend. Are you satisfied now? When you investigated my background, didn’t you find out that my wedding was canceled?”
I’ve tried my best to control my emotions, but my words still sounded caustic. After all, it was humiliating for a woman to be suspected of entangling with her ex by another man.
“Then, what was happening earlier? I saw you together with Justin.”
Michael pinned me with a steely gaze. He wasn’t mad at my hostility, neither did he trust my words.
“His current girlfriend brought him here to show off in front of me. They were here to laugh at my miserableness and mock me because no man loves me. Are you happy with my answer now?”
