206 The Winner and the Loser 206 The Winner and the Loser

Andrew told Anna that he still had some things to take care of in Sea Cityand he would leave for
Birmingham later within a week.

So, Anna and Wayne left first.

“Someone else was in charge of Carousel Group five years ago, right?” Anna asked as they were in his
car.

Wayne had his hands on the steering wheel and was looking intently ahead. He wasn’t distracted when
he heard that and then said,

“Richard is a year younger than me. But, he had only finished his undergraduate degree when he
worked for the group back then. He

even gave up the chance to pursue a master’s degree at Yale. So he was already the group’s vice
president when I returned to England. To

be honest, Grandpa used to think highly of him.”

Anna was impressed with Richard. She had met him at the Wrights’ house before and remembered
that he was a man in his thirties

and looking somewhat similar to Wayne.

He seemed gentle and friendly, and always had a smile on his face. However, no one could really get
close to him.

“Maybe you made Richard feel threatened,” Anna speculated as she glanced over at Wayne.



Wayne nodded, then shifted his gaze to the side as if he didn’t care. He replied, “Yes. I am a
shareholder in the Group and I was

involved in some of the board resolution meetings. Later, I felt unsure of the company’s financial
situation. After my grandfather had it

checked out, he allowed me to take part in the company’s management. But I didn’t have quite the
same power as Richard at the

time.”

So, whether Wayne controlled the company or not, as soon as he returned to England, he posed a
serious threat to Richard. Peter

was in charge of the entire group at the time, and he had complete authority. Wayne was Peter’s only
grandson, thus there was a good

chance that he would inherit the group later.

“Did he do anything to you?” Anna continued to ask.

Wayne said with a snort, “Yes, he did some awful things to me. And if he hadn’t done those things, he
could have kept his job as a vice president. After all, he’s a relative of mine. Also, when he was
president, the group was doing quite well. But, the problem was that

he was too paranoid.”

Richard felt envious of Wayne after he joined the company. To make Peter hate Wayne, Richard did
something in secret and planted

it on Wayne. Also, he was also the one who spread the rumor that Wayne was gay.



It was only after Peter heard the ridiculous rumor that he forced Wayne to get married soon.

Anna was taken aback when she heard his words.

Could Matthew‘s illness have something to do with Richard?

she wondered.

Richard has every reason to hate Matthew, Anna reasoned in her heart, because he is the company‘s
future heir, Because of Matthew,

Richard‘s chances of inheriting the company became significantly slimmer. This is unsurprising, given
how much Richard despised

Wayne

Then, Wayne frowned and asked, “Anna, did you investigate what happened before to Matthew?”

“Oh, do you think I’mn joking?” Anna said as she frowned irritably at him,

“Oh, 10, that’s not what i meant. I won’t stop you from looking into it if you want to. And, if you need
help, you can ask me all you

want. You don’t have to deal with this alone.”

Afterwards, Anna looked just a little less angry. She said, “If that’s the case, then Richard is very
suspicious. Don’t worry, i’ll look into

it right away. Well, anyway, I hope you should be wary of him. When I spoke with him the other day, I
got the impression that he still toathes you.”



Anna kept a close eye on Wayne’s expression as she stated this because she didn’t want to miss any
slight change in his mood.

Wayne then immediately frowned a little. He appeared to be thinking about something and was self-
condemned. However, he

quickly returned to normal again.

“Well, I don’t need to watch out for him. I’m the winner, and he’s the loser.”

Anna’s hent kipped a deal when she heard his words. Then, she recalled what Ryan had said to her.
He speculated that the Wrig

were to blame for Matthew’s levet.

“Oh, so it seems to me that he’s very powerhul. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been fighting for power
with you for so many years.

Anna said tentatively

Wayne replied indifferently, “You’re right, but he shouldn’t have done those things to me in the first
place. You know, business

competition is just for business aller all. My grandfather values keeping his family members together, so
Richard shouldn’t treat his far

that way.”

“What did he do?”

Wayne was then suddenly silent for a few seconds and replied, “Oh, it was my grandfather who quelled
that. So, I can’t comment



on anything about it.”

Anna squeezed his hand and did her best to smile, “Okay.”

She had thought that Richard was nothing more than an idle loafer. However, she later knew that
Richard had known that Wayne

was coming back that night. Moreover, he did it deliberately to provoke Wayne.

All of these things led to her leaving the Carousel Group and breaking up with Wayne for good.

Following the hotel fire, there was a full PR disaster within the company, as well as a significant drop in
stock prices. This series of

things could be traced back to that night in the backyard.

As Anna continued to think about the incident, she felt a growing sense of dread. She realized that
even though Richard was an

extremely sophisticated man, he had lost to Wayne. Moreover, Wayne had won that war entirely and
utterly.

After Richard was no longer vice president three years ago, he hadn’t been involved in a single thing
with the group. Anna felt that

although Richard was scheming, she could tell that. However, she didn’t know how scheming Wayne
could be.

Therefore, she suspected that perhaps they had once used Matthew as a bait in the fight between
them.



When Anna saw the sign on the side of the road, she realized they were really back in Birmingham.

“Where are we going?” Anna asked as they looked at the road and felt puzzled.

“I’m taking you to the hospital first,” Wayne said right away.

**Yes, we should definitely visit Peace now,” Anna replied with a nod.

Wayne found her words ridiculous and asked, “Anna, do you think I’m omnipotent, and you’re very
tough?”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

Wayne glared at her and said, “Well, how am I supposed to know which hospital Peace is in? Did you
forget that your leg is

hurt?”

Anna stopped for a moment before recalling that she had burned her leg. When she left the Sea Town
Hospital, the doctor advised

her to change her bandage once a day. Otherwise, her wound would get infected in such hot weather.

Wartse siphed as he felt resigned and said, “I want you to care about yourself first before you care
about others. You know, otherwise,

I will always be worried about you.”

tema couldn’t help but smile when she realized how much he cared about her and added, “Oh, that’s
simple! You want to



LORE, Don’t you? You know, you should do something about it. So, instead of working, you can stay
