Bryce had always wanted to find a chance to make up for the hurt he caused to Anna. He thought she was afraid of retaliation and couldn't bring herself to say who hurt her, but he walked up to her anyway.
"You can boldly speak out the name of that person, we will all stand up for you," Bryce said.
Anna shook her head again.
"Bryce, you might have watched too many TV dramas recently, so you thought my hoarse voice is caused by someone framing me. But I'm just having a cold," Anna said calmly, looking at Bryce with clear eyes.
"But didn't Mia say that..." Bryce tried to ask more questions but was stopped by Jimmy's gaze.
"Pay attention next time," Jimmy said with an intriguing light in his eyes before turning around and leaving.
Mia had been controlling her emotions all this while. But when Jimmy left, the anger inside her erupted instantly and twisted her face into a grimace.
"Anna, are you stupid? You know who hurt you yet still protect her? You're aiding and abetting evil!" Mia suddenly lost control of herself which caught Anna off guard.
"What's wrong with you?" Anna asked in confusion as she noticed Mia's intense reaction towards the situation.
Realizing that she was getting too emotional, Mia adjusted herself internally. However, the anger inside continued burning stronger than ever, since she hadn't gotten what she wanted.
"Anna, let's go find Mr. Harrison and tell him everything." Mia grabbed onto Anna's hand intending on forcing her way through to see Jimmy.
Anna frowned slightly at this suggestion. "I don't want to pursue it anymore." She glanced over at Charlee whose face had turned pale.
Mia angrily let go of Anna's hand. "You're so spineless!"
After saying those words without even looking back once, Mia stormed off furiously leaving behind a sigh from Anna.
Bryce caught up with Jimmy and got into his car directly,
"Why didn't you continue questioning further? I've known Anna for some time now, and I'm sure that she isn't someone careless enough about her health."
Bryce looked at Jimmy intently with furrowed brows .
"As long as you investigate, I believe that culprit will soon surface."
Jimmy shook his head slightly before smirking lightly.
"She doesn't want any further investigations done."
After hearing Jimmy's response, Bryce looked stunned for a moment before a playful smirk appeared on his handsome face.
"Since when did you start listening to Anna? Have you made any progress with her? When can I expect some wedding candy?" he joked, his voice laced with teasing.
Jimmy's dark eyes glittered like stars.
"Although you're not pressing the issue this time, aren't you afraid that it might happen again? If it does, she might not be so lucky next time and you'll regret your actions." Bryce reminded.
Jimmy's eagle-like eyes revealed a chilling coldness that sent shivers down Bryce's spine.
"There won't be a second time," Jimmy replied confidently.
Bryce nodded in agreement. "m off to my date now. You should go take care of your lady. Otherwise, I'll feel embarrassed and guilty every time I see her."
He patted Jimmy on the shoulder before getting out of the car.
