Chapter 857

“I’ll send you off!” Annie hurriedly got up, not wanting to miss the last bit of time to spend with him.

Although he did not want her to send him off, she had already stood up, which left him no choice but to
reluctantly nod.

With that, the two of them left the room. Without the pressure of the elders, Annie’s eyes began to stare
at him curiously.

“Richard, do you like me?” she asked him boldly because she liked him very much. It was not an
exaggeration to say that she fell in love at first sight.

Richard stopped and stared at her seriously. “Annie, you are a nice girl, but marrying me will not make
you happy. Please think about it carefully.”

Annie smiled and shook her head. “I believe that marrying you will be the beginning of my happiness.”

“My work nature doesn’t allow me to spend much time with you, and it will also bring danger to your life.
Are you still willing to marry me?” he asked her calmly.

She smiled shyly and answered without hesitation, “I do.”

Richard could not figure out what was on her mind. Obviously, he was trying to push her away, but she
was still adamant about wanting to marry him. How would marrying him benefit her?

For Annie, it was a blessing to be able to marry him. No matter what difficulties she would face in the
future, she was mentally prepared to bear it with him.

“I’ll have to leave now.” Seeing that the time was running out, Richard took long strides forward, but
Annie hurriedly followed behind him.



When they appeared in the hall together, she received envious glances from all the women around,
and at this moment, she knew that she was worthy of him as this man met all her requirements.
Watching him get into the car and get seated in his SUV, Annie felt like she had given her heart to him.

Richard’s car headed straight toward his current base, which was in the direction of the suburban.

In the garden, a lady who was sitting on a chair and counting the stars was getting drowsy. She
experienced all kinds of things today, causing her to feel extremely exhausted, but she could not sleep
now. She had to wait for someone to return.

She waited for no reason other than to get her Internet connection back.

Angela was fed up today. The swelling on her forehead reminded her of how rude Richard was to her.

No one here could make the decision to return the Internet connection to her. Richard was the only
person she could negotiate with, so she must wait for him to come back.

Just as her eyelids were about to shut, she finally heard the sound of a car coming in through the iron
gate, and she suddenly regained her spirit.

That must be Richard. She immediately got off the chair and ran toward the parking lot.

When Richard opened the door and got out of the car, he suddenly heard a cold female voice calling
him.

“Hey! You’re finally back.”

Richard looked at the woman under the street lamp. Her long hair was draped behind her head, and
the camouflage uniform was wrapped around her delicate body. Somehow, she managed to pull off the
camouflage uniform in a different way.



“Is something wrong?” Richard frowned slightly.

“Did you order your subordinates to turn off my network?”

“Yes. From now on, you are not allowed to use the Internet.”

“Why?” Angela was annoyed. “For your safety.” Richard had plenty of reasons to do so.

“No way. I want my Internet connection back. I want it now because I have very important things to do.”
Angela urged him in a hurry. Her boyfriend was returning to the country yet she did not even find out
his flight information. Therefore, she was anxious.
