Chapter 1284 Doesn't It Also Mean She Can't Let Him Go? Brody was fuming but couldn't say a word, and his mom, Nia, felt the sway. She remembered how Ann used to keep the house spotless and cook for them without a single complaint. The difference was night and day.
Now that Brody was married to Jessica, he barely saw his own wife.
Nia cto Brody in tears, but he was helpless. With work piling up, he felt nothing but frustration.
He missed Ann more than ever, which was why he couldn't resist waiting for her outside her office.
When he finally saw Ann, he almost didn't recognize her.
Her style had becmore elegant, and the camel coat she wore gave her a unique charm.
His eyes lit up, and he called out immediately, "Ann." Ann heard the voice and felt a wave of disgust. She didn't want to waste any words and tried to get into her car.
But Brody quickly approached, his eyes scanning her from head to toe.
"Ann, long tno see. You look even more beautiful." His eyes sparkled as he said "beautiful." Ann didn't want to engage with Brody. She frowned, "What do you want?" Brody knew he had been excessive before. He had abandoned her when their house was falling apart, made her repay the debt, and quickly hooked up with Jessica. It was no wonder she was giving him the cold shoulder.

He sighed softly. "Ann, I didn't realize you took my words to heart. Your new style is much more appealing. I guess my marriage to Jessica really hit you hard. Seeing you like this, I have to admit, I'm quite moved." Ann almost gagged at his words.
But Brody grabbed her wrist.
"I'm married now, but you still think about me. We were together for seven years; I know you can't let go. Ann, I'm giving you a chance to stay by my side. Don't worry, I'll make tfor you during the weekdays, but I have to be with Jessica on weekends." He was treating Ann like a mistress.
Ann slapped him hard.
"You're shameless, Brody. After all these years, I never truly saw you for who you are." Brody touched his cheek, his eyes shining even brighter. "Ann, you're so angry because you care about me." Ann couldn't believe how someone so ordinary could be so confident.
She must have been blind to fall for him.

Brody didn't let go, convinced her anger meant she still cared.
But the next moment, a luxury car sped towards them, stopping just inches from his legs. The blinding headlights made it impossible for him to keep his eyes open.
He thought he might actually get run over, breaking into a cold sweat. His grip on Ann loosened instinctively.
Ann was scared but recognized the car's license plate. She knew who it belonged to. Tonight was her night to serve. If she ran, the consequences would be worse.
She took a deep breath and obediently walked to the car, opened the door, and got in. Brody worked at Sunshine Real Estate Company; he knew this car's license plate.
It was a luxury car, with only twenty in the world.
Even in Silver Bay City, where every inch of land was worth a fortune, fewer than five people owned one.
He couldn't believe it. He had known Ann for so long and knew her family well.
Her mother Connie didn't like her, and her stepfather had almost raped her. When Connie found out, she blamed Ann for being seductive, almost stealing her man.

Connie didn't want her back, fearing her husband still had feelings for her.
But Ann was kind-hearted. Remembering the hardships Connie endured raising her, she sent money hwhenever she earned it.

So, despite not liking her, Connie still took her calls.
That bit of family connection was bought with Ann's money, though she pretended not to know. Brody had seen through it long ago.
Ann was extremely insecure. Her parents couldn't give her a sense of security so she relied heavily on men. Brody had been that man for her.
He watched the luxury car back up, then arrogantly scraped pastRim, almost knocking him over.
If the driver wanted him dead, he would be.
The person in the car was warning him.
Brody clenched his fists. How did Ann know someone so powerful? mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
