Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Termination For All Who Miswrite

Later, Heather Barton passed away in a car accident and Kent Barton took over the company. The siblings had a good relationship. The death of Heather Barton was a huge blow to Kent. Kent converted his grief into determination and numbed himself by putting his all into his career every day. For more than ten years, he never once slacked off, and he eventually turned Moonlight Group from a small company into a large corporation.

Kent also raised Heather’s daughter, Annalise Barton, as his own child. Kent’s daughters, Abigail Barton and Annalise Barton, were of the same age, so he had always considered them twins. No matter what he bought for Abigail Barton, he would always do the same for Annalise. Sometimes, he even treated Annalise Barton better than his own biological daughter.

According to insider information, the reason why Kent Barton had sent Annalise Barton to the countryside was that they had met a sage-like Daoist priest in the cemetery on the day they buried Heather Barton’s ashes. The Daoist priest had noted that Annalise possessed a strange fate. After asking for her time of birth, he explained that Annalise was fated to bear hardships in her life and that it would be best for her to be sent to live in the countryside. Allowing her to live closer to nature would in turn allow her to have a brighter future.

The Daoist priest had also mentioned that the sooner Annalise Barton was sent to the countryside, the better it would be. Kent was reluctant to do so and asked the Daoist priest how long he could delay it. The priest told him six years old at the latest.

Hence, when Annalise Barton was 6 years old, Kent had no choice but to send Annalise to live in the countryside. She was sent to the countryside to be closer to nature, described by the priest as supplementing her lacking earth and wood energy.

Unexpectedly, after Annalise Barton grew up, she became an ingrate. Even though her uncle Kent was sick, she still aggressively forced Kent to hand over his company shares, hurriedly proceeding to hold at shareholders’ meeting with the intention of harvesting and enjoying the fruits of his labor. She even wanted to kick Kent Barton out of the company.

The Barton family’s genes were exemplary. Heather Barton was very outstanding. Kent Barton was very kind. The fact that Annalise Barton had grown to become such an ingrate must have been because she inherited the genes of her scumbag father. Behind these words were various accompanying pictures.

There were pictures of Annalise Barton as a child with Abigail Barton. Back then, Abigail Barton and Annalise Barton were wearing the same dresses and tiny tiaras. They looked like little princesses. Annalise’s eyes welled up as she looked at it. Julian held her hand and asked helplessly, “You believed it?”

Indeed, feelings were the most powerful weapon in existence. Annie was a smart and courageous person, but she would still turn stupid when it came to matters of the heart. She actually fell for such a flawed and illogical story. “I didn’t,” Annalise replied. How could she believe Kent’s nonsense?

Although this report was written in the tone of a third person, the content and photos were obviously provided by Kent himself. Not only did he label her as an ingrate, he even brought up her background in order to convince the public to believe him. The reason why she cried was that she saw this photo.

Looking at the photo, she should have been three years old back then. She was dressed so beautifully, looking so pure and cute, and smiling so sweetly. Her eyes were filled with joy. At the time, her mother must have still been around, right? Only a child with a mother would be so blessed and happy. Drip…

Her tears fell on the screen of the phone, and she immediately reached out to wipe them away. Julian wiped the tears on her face with heartache. She looked up at him and her nose twitched. She suddenly hugged his neck and pressed her forehead against his, saying, “Julian, we’re both motherless.”

Julian’s heart ached. He looked at her deeply. “Yes, we are people without mothers to love us. In the future, we will love each other well. We’ll love our children well, too. Our children will be the happiest babies in the world.” “Yeah.” Annalise felt her throat constrict and she choked a little. “Don’t cry. Mum is watching us from the heavens. They’ll be happy to see us happy!” Julian coaxed.

“Yeah.” Annalise choked even harder. Julian hugged Annalise and patted her back as if he was comforting a child. He asked gently. “Do you want me to arrange for someone to manage the Moonlight Group?” Annalise sniffed and replied, “No need. I’ve already made arrangements.”

“Chloe Knightly’s best friend was a professional manager who used to manage a Fortune 500 company, and was only willing to come because of her good relationship with Chloe.”
