Chapter 72

“But Anna is the daughter of the Gabriel family. How could she be willing to be a surrogate mother?”
Ada frowned and said with doubt, “If Anna was really the surrogate mother, how many children did she
give birth to back then? Why does she still have a daughter?”

Pearson adjusted his glasses, slowly opened a document, and said, “According to Leo, six years ago,
they took the wrong person to Wayne‘s room. But it was not until Anna came from the room the next
day that Leo knew it. After that, Leo had been keeping an eye on Anna. When he knew that Anna
wanted to have an abortion, he sent people to stop her. Then he threatened her with Gabriel Group and
forced her to sign an agreement about the child.”

“At that time, he didn‘t know that Anna was pregnant with twins. And when the boy called Matthew was
born, he was taken away by Leo. Later, Leo learned from the doctor that Anna gave birth to a girl after
he left and the girl had been taken away by Anna. Leo felt guilty for Anna and didn‘t dare to tell Wayne
about the truth so not long after that, he resigned and went back to his hometown.”

“So… Wayne doesn‘t know the surrogate mother is Anna,” Ada said thoughtfully and unclenched her
fists with her expression softening a little.

“Yes. And Leo is the only person who knows about the truth. As for other Wayne‘s subordinates who
had ever seen Anna in the hospital back then, they are no longer working in Wayne‘s company and no
one knows where they are,” Pearson said.

“I can‘t let Wayne know the truth,” Ada said.

If Wayne knows that Anna is Matthew‘s biological mother, he won‘t marry me. I can‘t let him know
about it

“That‘s none of my business.” After sorting out the documents, Pearson stood up and said, “I’ve
finished my work. Pay the balance as soon as possible.”



“Super detective, why do you care about money so much? Don’t worry. I‘ll pay the balance,” Ada said
as she cast a scornful glance at him.

Pearson said frankly, “I care about money because money is worth being cared about. The only thing
that won‘t betray me in the world is money.”

It was the first time that Ada had heard a person express his love for money in this way.

With a sneer, she gave a sniff of disapproval and said to Jason, “Jason, transfer the money to him.”

While Jason was transferring the money, Ada looked at the pile of documents in her hand, tore them
into pieces, and threw them into the trash can. Then she said, “These are all copies. Where are the
originals? Where is the agreement that Anna signed with Leo back then?”

“Leo is not a fool. When he found that I couldn‘t prove that I‘m Wayne‘s subordinate, he put away all
the documents and refused to show them to me. I could only take some of the documents secretly. You
only asked me to do an investigation and didn‘t ask me to collect the originals when we signed the
contract. You can‘t deduct my wages,” Pearson said.

Ada felt irritable when she heard his words.

Money, money. His mind is full of money!

Suddenly, she thought of something. Then she turned to look at him and said, “Since you love money
so much, how about you do another thing for me? I will give you eight hundred thousand dollars after
you finish it.”



“Eight hundred thousand dollars?” Pearson looked her up and down and asked cautiously, “What do
you want me to do?”

“I hope that the truth of this matter would be a secret forever,” Ada said meaningfully with her eyes full
of viciousness,

“I won‘t commit murder no matter how much money you give me,” Pearson refused without hesitation.
“I‘m just a detective. You should hire a killer to do it for you.”

Ada said, “Who asked you to commit murder? I just want you to destroy all the originals in Leo‘s hands.
Can‘t you do it?”

Hearing this, Pearson hesitated. He could do it but it was a hard task.

“I want one million dollars.” After thinking for a moment, he said as he looked up at Ada. “It‘s risky to do
such a thing. Besides, trespassing into others‘ houses is illegal.”

“No problem,” Ada agreed without hesitation. “It‘s a deal.”

After Pearson left, Jason locked the door of the dressing room and said, “Are you sure you will let him
do that? He seems to be not good at doing such a thing. What if he hurt Leo?”

“That‘s just what I want,” Ada said with coldness in her eyes. “Jason, hire a killer to go with Pearson.
Ask him to kill Leo after Pearson destroys all the documents.”

“You mean…” “Only the dead will keep the secret.”

The next morning, when Wayne got up and went out of his room, he smelled the aroma of

pies.



Then he saw Mathew and Tammy sitting at the table and having breakfast in the dining room. And on
the table was a plate of steaming hot pies.

“Good morning. Come here and have breakfast.” Anna said to him when she came out of the kitchen
with a pot of cereal in her hand. “We‘ll have cereal with red dates and pies for breakfast today.”

Wayne nodded slightly and turned around with a faint smile on his face.

“Miss Gabriel, let me do it for you. You may take a seat and have breakfast.” Seeing that Anna was
ladling out the cereal, Carla hurried to help her.

After serving the two children and Anna the cereal, she carefully put another bowl of cereal in front of
Wayne.

“Mr. Wright, please have some cereal,” she said.

Wayne took a look at the others who were eating pies with their hands and asked casually, “Where are
the forks?”

However, Carla thought that he was blaming her and was frightened. Her hand shook so violently that
she accidentally knocked over the bowl in front of Wayne, and the hot cereal spilled

Only the Dead Wi.. out on Wayne‘s pants.

Wayne‘s face changed and he stood up immediately.

Frowning tightly, Wayne stared at the cereal on his trousers and asked in a cold voice, “What is with
you today?”

Carla was so frightened that she felt weak in her legs and slumped to her knees with the rims of her
eyes turning red. Then she said in a trembling voice, “Mr. Wright, I‘m sorry. I didn‘t mean to do that.”



Anna was taken aback by the harsh sound of the chair rubbing the floor and looked at Wayne. When
she saw the cereal on his pants, she hurriedly walked to Wayne and asked, “Are you okay?”

Wayne frowned more tightly and didn‘t say anything, looking displeased. Meanwhile, he felt a little
embarrassed when Anna looked at his pants.

Seeing Carla trembling with fear, Anna frowned and said to Wayne, “You are too hard on her. She is
just a young girl. You scared her.”

Hearing this, Wayne asked with a darkened face, “I‘m hard on her?” I just said ‘What is with you
today?‘ Am I hard on her? “Yes. Look, Carla is so frightened,” Anna said as she helped Carla up.

Then she suddenly realized that she shouldn‘t talk to Wayne in such a way and immediately explained,
“Well, I didn‘t mean that you are wrong. I just want to say that… Carla is just a nineteen–year–old girl. I
heard that she has just been here for more than a month. You‘d better be gentle to her.”

The more she explained, the more she felt that what she had said was adding insult to injury

“Forget it,” Wayne said impatiently and waved Carla away. Then he left the dining room and strode
upstairs.

Seeing this, Matthew and Tammy looked at each other.

Tammy nodded knowingly and said with a worried look, “Mom, Uncle Wayne seems to be scalded. I’ll
go to see him.”

Anna immediately looked back at her and said, “Stay here and have breakfast. You don‘t know how to
deal with scalds. I‘ll go and see if he‘s all right.”

After asking a maid for the scald ointment, Anna went upstairs and knocked on the door of the
cloakroom.



“Come in.” Wayne had changed his clothes. And the pajamas that he wore just now were casually
thrown on the floor.

“Are you okay? I‘ve brought you the scald ointment,” Anna said, standing at the door. Wayne nodded
and said, “Thank you.” “You‘re welcome. You may apply it now. I‘ll go out first.” “Okay.”

After putting down the scald ointment, Anna turned around and walked out of the cloakroom. After
taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something.

She turned back, pushed the door open directly, and said, “Remember to…” Before she could finish her
words, she froze when she saw what Wayne was doing.

Wayne, who was taking off his pants, didn‘t expect that she would suddenly come back and he was
taken aback. His hands shook, and the belt slipped from his hands. The next moment, his trousers
dropped, revealing his long and strong legs.

Anna covered her eyes, turned her back to him, and said in embarrassment, “Why are you taking off
your pants?”

Wayne was also embarrassed. He said, “How can I apply the ointment if I don‘t take off my pants? I
didn‘t know you would come back all of a sudden. Why didn‘t you knock at the door before coming in?”

Anna retorted with her face flushed, “I came back to tell you how to use the scald ointment. How would
I know that you were taking off your pants?”

Seeing her so flustered, Wayne suddenly found it funny. He casually covered his legs with a towel, sat
down, and said, “Well? Then please tell me how to use it.”

With her back to him, Anna asked, “Have you put on your pants?” Wayne looked down at the towel on
his thighs and said seriously, “Yes.”



“Really?” Anna frowned and turned around carefully. When she saw Wayne sitting on the sofa with his
legs covered with a white towel, her face turned red again. She immediately turned around and said,
“Didn‘t you say you‘ve put on your pants?”

“Did you see anything that you shouldn‘t see?” Wayne asked. “No. I didn‘t see anything.” Anna said
quickly

“Then why did you turn your back to me?” Wayne asked. “Hurry up. I have something else to do later.
Aren‘t you going to apply the scald ointment for me?”

“You… You apply it yourself,” Anna stammered, suddenly regretting coming to see him.

If I had known it would be so embarrassing, I wouldn‘t have been so nosy to come. There were so
many maids here and they will help him. I didn‘t need to come here at all!

“The cereal that you cooked scalded me,” Wayne said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Anna was speechless. She turned around and said angrily, “Why are you so
unreasonable? You mean I cooked cereal just to scald you?”

“I didn‘t mean that,” Wayne said and gazed at her with a faint smile. “I don‘t know how to use the scald
ointment. Help me.”

Being stared at by him, Anna felt her face butning hot. After hesitating for a while, she picked up the
scald ointment and walked to him.



Then she bent down and lifted a corner of the towel. When she saw a large area of his thighs scalded,
she was shocked.

“I‘ll demonstrate how to use it for you. You should squeeze the ointment to your palm first, then gently
apply it to your skin little by little and slowly spread the ointment over.” As she spoke, she squeezed a
small amount of ointment into her palm. When she was about to apply the ointment to Wayne‘s skin,
she hesitated.

“You‘d better do it yourself,” she said, then straightened up and stepped back. Suddenly, her wrist was
grabbed by Wayne. Wayne pulled her back to his side and said, “Help me.” “Why? You can do it
yourself,” Anna said. “It‘s troublesome. I can‘t be bothered doing it myself.” Anna was speechless. “Mr.
Wright, you just need to wash your hands after applying it. Why are you so lazy?” she

said.

Hearing that, Wayne just gazed at her without saying anything.

Thinking that Wayne had been living a well–off life, Anna guessed that maybe Wayne had never done
such a thing by himself.

Looking at the ointment on her hand, she sighed and said helplessly, “All right. I‘ll help you with it. Let
go of my wrist first.”

Wayne then loosened his grip on her wrist. When Anna‘s warm hand touched his thigh, he looked
down at her and happened to see a wisp of her long hair flow down over her shoulders and cover her
face.

Subconsciously, he reached out his hand and helped her tuck the wisp of hair behind her

ear.



As he did this, Anna gave an involuntary shudder and raised her head in shock

The next moment, their eyes met.

After the two of them gazed at each other for a long time, Anna reacted and said in fluster, “I‘ve finished
it. You… you may wait until it is dry and put on your pants. I‘ll go out first.”

However, when she was about to leave, Wayne pulled her again with more strength than before.

Anna screamed, lost her balance, and then fell back on his left leg. “Wayne, you…” Anna struggled at
once and then heard a gasp come from behind her.

She didn‘t know if she had touched Wayne‘s scalded skin and asked in a hurry, “Did I touch your
scalded skin?” Then she stopped struggling, not daring to move.

Wayne held her waist with one hand and said in a hoarse and magnetic voice, “It doesn‘t

matter.”

“You… Let go of me,” Anna stammered, blushing with embarrassment. Sitting on Wayne‘s thigh, she
could feel that he had a hard–on.

What’s he doing? It will be awkward if others suddenly come in and see us like this!

However, Wayne ignored her words and said in a lower voice, “That night, you were more passionate
than you are now.”

Hearing that, Anna blushed to her ears and said with an awkward look, “Let go of me. I don‘t know
what you are talking about.”

What happened that night was an accident. I‘ve been trying to forget about it. Why did Wayne mention
it again? she thought.



Anna‘s attitude made Wayne displeased. At the thought that she didn‘t care about what had happened
that night at all, he suddenly felt a burst of anger. Then without thinking, he pinched Anna‘s chin and
kissed her.

“Hmm…” Anna was stunned by his sudden move. Her mind went blank and she stared blankly at
Wayne‘s face with her eyes wide open.

As Wayne kissed her, he moved his hand from her back to her waist and reached into her shirt, making
her tremble subconsciously.

When he was about to take off her dress, Anna suddenly shuddered and struggled.

However, Wayne pressed her waist with one hand to stop her from moving. Then he lifted the hem of
her dress with his other hand and reached between her thighs.

His behavior made Anna feel a deep sense of shame. The next moment, she pushed Wayne away with
all her strength and then slapped him hard in the face.

The sound of the slap was so loud that it echoed in the cloakroom. Anna breathed heavily with her
hands trembling.

She didn‘t expect that Wayne would suddenly do such a thing to her and was frightened by his abrupt
behavior just now.

After taking a few deep breaths, she held back her anger and tried to calm herself down. Then she
said, “If the cost of living here is selling my body, I‘ll leave here with Tammy immediately. I will never
cross my moral bottom line and interfere in other people‘s marriage.”
