Adam stared at her and said seriously, "Anthea, you don't need to please anyone."
Anthea knew that he was unwilling to let her suffer.
Feeling warm in her heart, she nodded with a smile. "I know!"
Anthea tried to please Bellamy, only because he was Adam's father.
Although they had not told anyone about their marriage, they were a couple now and Bellamy was her father-in-law. She really wanted to leave him a good impression.
She did not think she had suffered anything.
Adam drove away from the military hospital.
They didn't go home and decided to eat outside. They chose to have dinner in their own restaurant.
This time, Anthea looked more complacent than ever.
Because she was the real landlady now!
She was a little triumphant, but also a little shy.
During the whole meal, Anthea had been secretly glancing at Adam. Her eyes were somewhat greedy, as he was so handsome that she just couldn't take her eyes away from him. But when she thought that he was already her husband, she felt particularly proud.
Adam had noticed her, but he did not say anything.
After the meal, they remained outside.
Adam parked the car at the side of the road. The night had completely fallen. In the distance, the lights on the river bank were dazzling.
They didn't seem to be here to enjoy the night scenery. Instead, they seemed to be waiting for something.
There was a radio in the car. The sound was not loud, so the ringtone of the phone could be heard clearly.
Anthea remained serious.
She looked at Adam and saw him answer the phone.
The phone call came from Braxton, his long-time comrade-in-arm in Francis. "Adam, I have sent the mother and daughter over. The plane has just landed!"
Adam's eyes were sharp when he squinted. "Okay, let' s do it according to our plan."
Anthea couldn't help swallowing saliva.
She was very nervous.
The real truth was about to be revealed tonight.
Madam Jiles had been complaining about injustice before she died, which made Anthea always suspicious. In addition, at the funeral, Uncle Jayden had mentioned angrily that Madam Jiles just wanted to lock her up and did not want her to die.
The case had been investigated again and again, but all the evidence was conclusive, and Wesley accused Madam Jiles insistently.
But unexpectedly, Anthea had met Wesley’s wife and daughter by chance when she hid in Francis.
Because Wesley's wife and daughter had not registered yet, Adam could not find any information about them. But it was obvious that they left their hometowns and moved to Francis after Wesley was imprisoned.
The large sum of money in the cabinet was really suspicious. The money that Madam Jiles had used to hire Wesley had been frozen and submitted to the police as the evidence, but the mother and daughter were carrying so much money, which indicated that there might be someone else behind the scenes.
Adam asked Carter to investigate, and he did find something.
If it wasn't Madam Jiles who wanted to kill Anthea, who would want her to die so badly?
The two cases which had happened six years ago and six years later separately were actually related to one person, who had been manipulating behind the scenes
Now, they were going to expose this person!
Anthea held her breath, and kept waiting patiently.
On the highway to the airport.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
