I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Less Tricks

In the room upstairs.

Anika was sitting in bed against the wall, curing up with fear in her eyes.

Catherine had been comforting her in a gentle voice but in vain.

Phoebe and Lucia had also been trying to talk to Anika.

Anika curled up, holding the covers and saying nothing.

After a long time, Anika slowly looked up at Catherine, "Grandma, let them leave!"

Lucia and Phoebe looked at Anika in disbelief.

Anika didn't even glance at them.

She was looking at Catherine.

Catherine took a look at Anika, then at Lucia and Phoebe, saying, "You two should leave."

Lucia hesitated and looked at Anika. "Anika, just now, I..."

"Leave!"

Before Lucia finished her words, Anika shouted loudly.

Lucia stopped speaking and stared at Anika for a few seconds. "Alright, honey. Don't be excited, we are leaving."

Then Lucia grabbed Phoebe's hand. "Let's go."

Then Lucia looked at Catherine and whispered, "Catherine, take care of her."

Catherine waved her hand at Lucia and motioned for her to leave the room.

After Lucia and Phoebe went out, Catherine looked at Anika, "Anika?"

Anika stared at Catherine and tears fell down her eyes. She hugged Catherine, "Grandma, I didn't..."

Catherine did not ask or say anything, she just raised her hand and gently patted Anika's back.

It was not Anika calmed down that she let go of Catherine.

Catherine saw Anika's red eyes, "Don't be afraid, honey. Your brother and I are here."

Anika nodded, "Grandma, is sister-in-law going to divorce Zane?"

Catherine raised her hand and stroked Anika's hair, "Anika, it's between the two of them. There's nothing we can do. So, leave it to them."

"But grandma, Zane doesn't like Neve. She has been pestering Zane because she wants his help..."

"Anika."

Before Anika finished, Catherine called her name and interrupted her, "It will be solved. It will be okay. Don't think about it or ask. You need to stay well for your brother."

Anika seemed to understand Catherine's words, or maybe she didn't get her words at all.

In the living room downstairs.

Neve sat on the sofa, and looked somewhat listless and pale because of the injury.

Lucia didn't dare to care about Neve as blatant as just now. She simply asked about Neve's injury.

"Auntie Lucia, I'm fine. You don't have to worry."

"That's good. Anika went a little out of control today, I apologize on her behalf."

Neve gave a gentle smile, "It's ok. How's Anika now?"

Lucia nodded. "She has just calmed down."

"Can I go upstairs to see her?" Neve said to Lucia, but she had been staring at Zane.

Because Zane was looking at his phone.

Neve said that to remind him.

Zane put his phone back in his pocket after sending a message. He looked at Neve, "I will drive you home."

Neve smiled, "Okay."

Lucia agreed, "Zane can drive you home. Call me if there's anything."

"I will."
