Chapter 81 Go Ahead, Don't Keep Anna Waiting

Treasures Gallerie

"What did the seller say?"

Seeing Abraham return after making a phone call, Kenley, who was wearing a mask, immediately asked.

Because Elianna had informed on her, she had just been scolded by Joyce quite severely.

But that wasn't all. What scared her the most was when Joyce mentioned the Koch family.

Joyce said it had been a long time since she last visited the Koch family and that she should return to become familiar with them again.

The years of living as a guest in someone else's home had made Kenley extremely resistant to the idea of returning to the Koch family. Her parents had passed away early, and she had grown up by Joyce's side for so many years. Now, returning to the Koch family felt like exile.

Furthermore, she was originally an adopted child brought into the family by her infertile mother to solidify her marriage.

She wasn't even a legitimate member of the Koch family. That was why, at the age of eighteen, she wanted to seduce Asher.

At that time, she naively thought that since there was no blood relationship between her and Asher, as long as he liked her, there should be no problem with him marrying her.

In this way, she would never have to worry about being kicked out of the Larsen family.

However, she gradually realized that her thinking was too simplistic. Joyce valued her own reputation above all else and would never allow her own sister to be exposed for faking a pregnancy.

Therefore, the only thing she could do now was to firmly hold onto Asher, or perhaps, Jefferson.

But those were all matters for later. Right now, she urgently needed to secure her position in the Larsen family.

"Recovering" that painting was her best opportunity at the moment.

...

Under Kenley's anxious gaze, Abraham cleared his throat. "The seller said that she wouldn't show up. The item is with me, and you can pick it up once you bring the money."

"She won't show up..." Kenley calculated. That meant Kenley had to give that half a billion.

After leaving Treasures Gallerie, Kenley walked slowly on the street.

After a while, she stopped and made a call to Asher.

As soon as the call was answered, she began to cry.

"Asher, I..."

Asher, who was organizing tender documents at Eclipse, subconsciously covered the microphone and looked at Jefferson.

"Jeff, can I take this call outside?"

Jefferson was smoking and looking at documents. When he heard Asher speak, he raised an eyebrow. "Anna?"

"Uh, yes."

Asher nodded as he wanted to go out to comfort Kenley.

Jefferson took a puff on his cigarette and gave a nod of approval amid the swirling smoke.

As soon as Asher stepped outside, he anxiously asked into the phone, "What happened, Kenley? What's wrong?"

"Asher, I was deceived by a friend into investing and borrowed a large sum of money. Now, the interest has piled up, and it has become a significant debt. What should I do?"

"Don't cry, sweetheart. Just tell me how much you need, and I'll figure something out for you."

"I don't want to burden you. I can't become a burden to you. Asher, if there's another life, I'll come and be with you."

Asher sensed that Kenley had thoughts of suicide and was sweating profusely. "Kenley! Don't do anything foolish. Listen to me, tell me how much you need, and I'll give it to you!"

"...I need half a billion."

She had thought that if she told Asher that Elianna was going to sell the painting, he would surely find Elianna and stop her. But that wasn't what she wanted. She wanted this matter to become a big fuss, and then she would come to the rescue.

...

After a while, Asher, holding the phone, returned.

He looked at Jefferson with a cautious expression. "Jeff, can I go out for a bit?"

As a cigarette burned to its end, Jefferson casually extinguished it in the ashtray.

"What's up? Does Anna miss you?"

Asher forced a smile and didn't mention the conversation with Kenley. "She said she wanted me to come over. She mentioned something urgent, and if I don't go, she might cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, Jefferson raised an eyebrow with a hint of amusement.

Yesterday she accompanied him, and today she was going to accompany her fiancé. She was indeed dedicated.

"..."

The sudden silence made the atmosphere somewhat eerie, and Asher didn't know why Jefferson had suddenly stopped talking.

He didn't dare to break the silence and could only wait. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Heh."

A sneer finally escaped Jefferson's lips, and he said, "I never expected Anna to be so good at causing trouble."

He raised his chin slightly and continued, "Go ahead, don't keep her waiting."

"Alright, thanks, Jeff!"
