Love from My Dominant Boss novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473 I Will Not Change My Mind

Given how sharp-witted Michael was, there was no way he could not understand the meaning of my words. His eyes were blazing as he waited for my response.

“This is the last time, I promise. After this matter gets resolved, I will never get involved in anything about them. Just help me one last time, Michael.”

On one end, I knew Michael was concerned about me, but on the other, I was not able to betray Steven. He was, after all, my younger brother, and it would surely break my heart to send him to jail.

“Anna, do you know your biggest problem is that you’re too softhearted? They’re doing this because they’ve seen through you! Are you really going to let the real culprit off the hook? The person he has hurt is my mom!”

A terrifying expression was all that remained on his face. It was plain easy to tell that he was trying his best to suppress the raging storm within him as his face turned increasingly forbidding.

A shiver ran down my spine when I heard his last sentence. At that instance, I realized I had only thought of myself and forgotten how the victim was Michael’s mother. That sudden revelation made me recognize how he must be eager to find the truth and the culprit’s identity more than anyone else.

I lowered my head slightly, knowing well how my request was a little way too overboard. Nonetheless, I had no other choice since there was no way I could watch Steven go to jail.

“You really can’t help me this time? I promise that nothing like this incident will happen again in the future.” I looked at Michael with determination and popped the same request again.

“Anna!”

The flames of anger burned in his eyes as he was that close to blowing his top off. While the man was utterly furious, I was full of indignance. Given there were other choices, I would not have wanted things to get to where it was.

“This will be the last time! Anna, I hope you’ll treat them as strangers the next time they appear before your eyes. It’s not that I want to turn you into a heartless creature. I only want you to learn how to protect yourself. They’ll never be thankful and appreciative of what you’ve done for them.”

Eventually, Michael still chose to give in to me. Undoubtedly, the immense anger and indignity were bothering him, yet, he was willing to do that because he could not bear to watch me plead.

“I got it. It’ll be the last time, I promise.” I looked into his eyes and nodded my head in earnest.

Indeed, I refused to go through the same situation again after experiencing such pressure. I have to live for myself and my loved ones.

“I probably won’t be able to take you with me today. But trust me, I’ll think of a solution so that you won’t go to jail,” Michael flatly said after shooting a glance at me.

I knew he was frustrated for not being able to bring me with him to leave this place.

Nevertheless, I did not blame him at all. I was confident Lincoln was the culprit for my current plight, and his motive was to force me to take my leave from Michael’s side. Since that was so, it was impossible he would let me leave the station that easily. The only exception was unless I agreed to his terms.

“Don’t worry about me. I’ll take good care of myself.” I forced a smile on my face as I answered.

No matter who it was, no one would feel emotionless about someone getting detained in the police station. That was the same for Michael. Besides the tremendous pressure mounting on him, he still had to stress himself out for me. That was why I did not want to add more worries for him.

The line forming between his brows had revealed his reluctance to leave. I was upset to bid him goodbye, but I understood that many matters were waiting for him to complete.
