Chapter 57 What Is the Purpose?
Betty wanted to curse at Daisy, but when she saw Daisy's cold and mocking gaze and the kettle in
Daisy's hand, Betty was a little afraid.
As she walked out, she scolded with a grudge, "Women like you will get punished one day!"
Betty, who held Ann's hand and told Ann they would be a family not long ago, was cursing at Ann and
spreading rumors.
Apart from feeling sad, Ann laughed at herself and had seen through others...
That day, Ann didn't wait for Phillip to return. She packed up some necessities before taking Nikki to
Daisy's place.
She thought for a while and was afraid that Phillip would come to dispute it.
Therefore, she sent a message to tell him not to come here because she had been at Daisy's
apartment.
Phillip received the message. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Ann, for she moved to
Daisy's apartment on her own. He felt much more at ease because of this message.
At the very least, it meant that Ann was willing to inform him of what she had done.
Philip was pleased about that. When he instructed his men to do things, his tone was not as cold as
usual.
His men were a bit frightened.
The next day, Ann received a phone call from an intermediary who asked Ann to visit the vacant
apartment that met Ann's requirements.
When they arrived, Ann discovered that it was located in a high-end residential area.
It had two bedrooms and one living room, only two subway stops away from the Moore Group.
The environment of the residential area was quite good. She couldn't even make a fuss, but Ann
worried if she could afford the apartment.
When it came to the rental price, the man who claimed to be an intermediary seemed more confused.
Aydan only asked him to find an apartment for Miss Scott but didn't require him to rent it out.
He was just a financial advisor. How could he know the rent for an apartment in the River City?
Thinking about the rumors about Ann and Philip, the man seemed to understand why Philip gave his
own house to Ann secretly.
The intermediary replied thoughtfully, "How much do you think you should pay?"
Ann was amused.
Why was this intermediary so unreliable?
The intermediary seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he coughed softly and said, "Well,
how about two thousand?"
Ann suspected that she had heard wrongly. The rent on an apartment with two bedrooms and one
living room in a prime lot was only two thousand?
Was he a liar?
That man keenly sensed that Ann seemed suspicious of it, so he explained.
"To tell you the truth, the owner of this house is a lecherous gambler. He lost all his money, so he wants
to rent out the house to afford meals!"
Although Ann was still suspicious, she gritted her teeth and signed the contract after the other party
presented all necessary papers since she had to rent a house as soon as possible.
...
The Moore Group
Aydan came in with a stack of documents in his arms. "I've rent out your apartment to Ann. This is a
document that requires you to sign ... and this, the forensic center just sent it over. What's inside..."
Aydan was just about to open it when Phillip, with a poker face, snatched it away.
"Get out!"
Aydan walked out with a dumbfounded expression. He was even more curious about what was inside.
Phillip was the only person left in the office. He stared coldly at the documents on the desk and
tightened his grip slightly.
Even Phillip could keep resolute in face of projects of high value. He was somewhat nervous now.
When Phillip saw that the results were consistent with his speculation, his face cracked into a smile.
Nikki was his child!
A moment later, the huge joy was dispersed by the mixed feelings. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Since Nikki was his child, why did Hilda only take Carson and Jackson away back then?
Most importantly, what was the purpose of Hilda?
