After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 203

Emma then broke into a triumphant smile.

“You did a background check on me?” I asked.

My anger suddenly surged after hearing her words. Other than that reason, there was no other explanation for why she was so clear about my family matters.

“I merely wanted to know you a bit better. I didn’t investigate you on purpose.”

In contrast to my cold gaze, there was no reaction from her. Instead, she was a little happy seeing that I was angry.

It wasn’t on purpose? Hah! Who’d believe that?

“What exactly do you want?”

I looked at her coldly as I tried to hold back my anger. In the past, at the very most, I did not like her. However, at that moment, I hated her.

Who the h*ll did she think she is to do a background check on me?

As her expression turned cold, she finally came clean about her purpose. “My plan is simple. I want you to leave Michael. After all, I am his girlfriend, and you… are nothing.”

“And if I don’t agree?”

In reality, I had long guessed that she wanted me to leave him. Originally, I did not intend to break their relationship and would obediently go when he asked to end our relationship. However, I was annoyed that she had poked her nose into my private matters. As a result, I decided then that I would not let go of Michael that easily.

“If you agree, I’ll give you a huge sum of money so that your entire family won’t have any worries in the future. You’re a smart woman, Ms. Garcia. I think you know how to decide.”

Her expression was not one of anger. She held a blank check in her hand, then handed it to me. As usual, her gaze was still full of contempt.

I looked at the blank check in her hands. It was indeed a very attractive offer. Moreover, I was short on money right then. If I took it and casually asked for a few million, it probably would not be a problem for her. In addition, I would not need to work so hard in the future.

However, I was not that cheap. Although I liked money and knew its importance, I was annoyed by her disrespect toward me.

Therefore, with a cold expression, I took the blank check over.

Most likely thinking that I had accepted her condition, she smiled triumphantly. However, my next move had her dumbfounded.

Without hesitation, I tore it up and threw it out of the car.

“Anna, what do you mean by this!”

Her beautiful face was distorted in anger as her gaze filled with fury.

“Don’t you understand what I mean? If you don’t, I’ll tell you bluntly. I don’t care about your stupid money!”

Here she was, thinking to use the money to make me leave Michael and forget the fact that she had investigated me. However, I had always been someone who held grudges, so I would never forget how she humiliated me today.

She replied, “Don’t you need money? I heard that you’re short of funds right now, so you can stop pretending.”

“You’re going too far! I’m so much better than you in all aspects, be it my background or appearance. Worried? Hah! Why should I be?”

Her expression turned vicious as she looked at me with her gaze full of hatred. There was no more of the gentleness and generosity she showed in front of Michael. As expected, she was a good actress.

“If you’re here just to make me leave Michael, then you’ve made a mistake! Goodbye!”

Not wanting to stay and talk with her any longer, I then opened the car door and left.

“Just you wait, Anna. One day, I’ll make you disappear in front of him forever!”

Her sharp threat then rang out from behind me. Although I was angry, I never looked back.

There’s no need to care about such a woman. She’s crazy. Does she think she can just use the money to trample on my dignity?

I did not lose in our confrontation. In fact, it could be said that I won very gloriously. However, my good mood soon disappeared. Since I had made an enemy of Emma that day, she would definitely find trouble with me in the future.

After she left, I walked along the sidewalk alone while sighing helplessly. I was annoyed, for there was one thing that Emma had not made clear. That was, to Michael, I would always be an embarrassment.

Merely from that one point, I was completely defeated. Solely because she had come from such an influential family background, she could proudly stand beside him. Compared to her, I was nothing; nothing but a lowly country girl.

When I arrived outside the house, I stopped and took a deep breath before entering the password. I did not want Michael to see that I was upset.
