199 You Don’t Seem to Be S… 199 You Don’t Seem to Be Surprised at All
It wasn’t until then that Anna realized that not all rich girls were delicate. After all, every parent hoped that their girls to be capable of self-defense.
Anna gasped as she realized that she should never mess with Charlotte. Charlotte not only came from a wealthy family, but she also
knew how to fight. She could not only be very dominant but also be gentle.
How could I compete with her? Anna thought to herself.
Wayne calmly glanced at her and asked, “Are you afraid, Anna? If so, just leave this to me, and I’ll make sure she never bothers you
again.”
Anna seriously refused, “Thank you, but I’ll have to handle this on my own.”
If it was only about love, Anna certainly expected Wayne to handle it by himself. But because Charlotte was involved in the fire, Anna
was curious as to who her accomplice was.
Since the one who did this with Charlotte was attempting to murder the two kids, Anna was afraid that if she didn’t find out the
truth, she’d be worried for the rest of her life.
Seeing that she was determined to do it herself, Wayne didn’t say anything more.
“In fact, I’ve always suspected that the person who tried to kill Matthew was involved in this,” Anna explained.
Wayne looked back and asked, “What do you mean?”
“Don’t pretend you’re unaware of it or haven’t noticed it yet. I know that someone has been trying to kill Matthew.”
Anna had only spent six months with Matthew, but she already sensed that accidents were always happening to him. As a result,
Wayne, who had known him for so long, would have definitely suspect this.
“Yes, I do know about that,” Wayne confirmed with a nod.
At the moment, the lighting inside the car was dim. And the moonlight poured through the roof, revealing Wayne’s solemn
expression to Anna.
“In fact, there might be more than one person who did this,” he continued.
Hearing his words, Anna realized that many people wanted Matthew dead, and that thought sent chills down her spine.
“Many accidents had happened to Matthew. I’m not a fool, Anna, so I thought of the possibility right away. But I have no idea who
did those things. In fact, I‘ve looked into it several times and suspect a number of people.”
Wayne had a lot of of people on his list, including the gardener who came once a week to maintain his garden, the maid who had
been caring for Matthew for two or three years, and even some relatives of his. However, no matter what he did, he was unable to prevent
other people from attempting to harm Matthew.
Anna frowned and asked, “Why? Tell me, why are they doing this? Are they crazy? Matthew’s just a child! Why would they want to
“It’s because Matthew isiny only child and will be the only heir to the group in the future. In any case, it’s entirely my fault. Maybe it’s
because I’ve been neglecting Matthew too much in the past. So, I made these people believe that if Matthew was no longer alive,
Grandpa would expect others to control the group. So, they thought that they might be the lucky ones.”
Wayne looked a title helpless when he answered the question. He lowered his head and seemed to sigh, and his voice was very

Before, there had been rumors that Wayne was gay. And although he had a child, he was never ready to get married at all. As a
result, there were many who would to take action to take away the inheritance right.
“Do you mean your relatives might be involved in the incident?”
“Yeah.”
Anna frowned and thought to hersell, if that‘s the case, then the investigation is going to be more tricky than I imagined.
When Anna had a meal at Peter’s house previously. Peter had invited several of his close relatives. Those people could fill two large
tables. Also, he had a lot of relatives living out of town.
what did you mean by “pretty
