Chapter 321 You and I Are Through

"It seems that my friend is right. Ms. Ann is very good."

Abbey came here by chance. She had heard people with whom she had worked together in the mall mention it.

Phillip had spent a lot of money to buy this piece of land from the Victory Company a while ago. But in the end, he established a small perfume studio for Ann.

So, Abbey was here to see what kind of woman Ann was.

"Ms. Ann, just do what you say. As for the price..."

Ann waved her hand, "You helped me before, so this is a gift from me. When it's done, we'll call you. Or you can leave an address. We'll get someone to send it to you."

Abbey saw that Ann was sincere. Abbey thought of something, so she nodded.

"I'll have to trouble you then, Ms. Ann."

Then she continued, "Ms. Ann, you're so kind. To tell you the truth, I haven't been to River City for many years. Can you give me your number? Maybe we'll meet again in the future."

Ann agreed. Abbey was a straightforward and capable woman. She left a good impression on Ann. Moreover, she had helped Ann.

The two exchanged contact information. Ann was about to walk Abbey out. When she turned around, a familiar male voice came from the side.

"Ann!"

Ann frowned and turned around. When she saw Karl, the smile on her face faded slightly.

"What are you doing here?"

Karl stared at Ann's face with infatuation. He realized that Ann's expression was distant. His eyes dimmed slightly. His hand that was in his pocket touched the box inside. He seemed to be a little nervous.

"Ann, Colin didn't harass you after the incident at Fortune Restaurant, right?"

At that time, he had a fight with Colin because of Ann. And the cooperation between the two families was over.

He had been lectured by Albert because of this. He felt depressed, but he did not regret it.

In the past, he had let down Ann and failed to protect her when she was bullied. Now he just wanted to make up for it.

However, Ann did not seem to need him to do so at all.

Thinking of this, Karl's eyes dimmed.

Ann did not expect Karl to specially come over for this matter.

"Karl, you and I are through."

Ann's voice was calm and indifferent, and one could not hear any joy or anger.

She would not take revenge on Karl for what he did. But she would not forgive him, especially since he was now involved in Daisy's family.

If he and Betty did something to Daisy in the future, she would stand on Daisy's side. Because in her eyes, Karl was already an insignificant stranger.

Karl understood what Ann meant, and his expression was a little dejected.

His hand, which was holding the box, was a little tight. When she saw Ann turn around to leave, he could not help but reach out to hold her.

"Ann, tomorrow is your birthday. I promised you that I would give you a present every year."

Ann looked at the small and exquisite box in front of her. The logo symbolized luxury. She frowned and her face turned cold.

If Karl hadn't come, she would have forgotten that tomorrow was her birthday.

And the promise Karl made and the gift in front of her only made her remember his betrayal and the humiliation he brought to her.

"Karl, I remember everything you've done in the past. What you're doing now will only remind me of how disgusting things you've done in the past are!" Ann struggled free of his grasp.

Karl's face went pale. Seeing Ann enter the studio without hesitation, his hand that was holding the gift box dropped down weakly.

Karl did not blame her. All of this was his own doing.

However, he was unwilling to admit that she was done with him.

Thinking of Phillip, he clenched his fists. Phillip was just an illegitimate son of the Moore family, who could not be exposed to the public.

If Karl obtained the inheritance rights to the Lainey family, maybe Ann would get back together with him!

Karl finally left. In a nearby taxi, Abbey withdrew her gaze and rolled up the window again.

"Let's go," she said.

...

Ann was not affected because of Karl. After returning to the studio, she devoted herself to work.

Then she received a text from Daisy.

"Tomorrow is your birthday. I dare not occupy the time. Tonight, I will celebrate your birthday in advance."

Ann smiled, and the tiredness in her eyes faded away. She called Daisy.

"Aren't you still in the hospital? How are you going to celebrate my birthday?"

"That's why I asked you to come to the hospital," Daisy said calmly.

Ann was speechless, thinking that Daisy was joking.

Daisy added, "Tonight, you belong to me. Don't let Phillip follow you!"

"Yes! Don't let Phillip come over. Tomorrow, you will be all his. Let him be alone today!" Todd's gloating voice came.

"Shut up!"

"Daisy, your temper is getting worse. But I like it when you lose your temper at me!"

Ann could not help but laugh as she listened to the interaction on the other side of the line.

After struggling for a few seconds, she decided to temporarily abandon Phillip for a night.

When Ann called Phillip and told him that she would go back later tonight and asked him to take care of the kids at home, she was worried that Phillip would not agree and had prepared a lot of reasons.

However, she did not expect that Phillip would agree after just a few words of warning, which made Ann somewhat surprised.

"Remember to watch the kids eat tonight. There is beef brisket and pork ribs soup that I made in advance in the fridge. You can eat them after heating them up in the oven."

Phillip looked at the person standing in front of him. His expression was cold, but his tone was gentle as he spoke on the phone.

"Okay, call me when you're coming back. I will pick you up."

"No need. I'll take a taxi."

"But I'll be worried."

Ann immediately replied in a soft voice, "Then I'll go back early!"

Hanging up the phone, the gentleness on Phillip's face immediately disappeared, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness.

His deep black eyes stared at the man in black in front of him, his tone as cold as ice.

"What do you mean she is gone? Don't you have dozens of men? Why couldn't you keep an eye on a woman?"

That man was nervous. "Yes... Ms. Abbey said that she had talked to Mr. Joey. She was here to find you and insisted on coming out. We didn't dare to stop her and could only follow behind her. I didn't expect..."

They were just subordinates. Ms. Abbey was the daughter of the Quelch family. She had a good relationship with Phillip and others. If they got rough with her, they would be the ones to suffer.

Moreover, they also did not expect that Abbey, who was said to have just returned from abroad, had such good skills and was lost in a blink of an eye.
