Afterward, the two of them didn’t have much interaction until they pushed the ball into the last hole.

There, Jack and Cathy were already waiting.

“Not bad!” Jack gave them a thumbs–up.

Although Calix won, the gap between him and Anya was not significant.

Cathy discreetly glanced at Anya and quickly ran to Calix’s side, “Look, you’ve sweated so much.”

She took out a towel to wipe the sweat off Calix’s face.

But before she could reach him, Calix took the towel from her and wiped it himself.

“Quick, get some chilled water for our Anya,” Jack instructed his assistant behind him with a smiling face.

He looked at Anya with an exceptionally amiable and gentle gaze.

Calix watched this scene, feeling something in his heart.

It seemed that Anya was quite popular outside.

Previously, it was Thomas and John, and now there was Jack, and all of them showed great enthusiasm toward her.

On the other side, Jack and Anya walked out together.

It was just a chance encounter, so there was no need for long conversations.

Calix was still dazed when his arm was pulled.

“Calix, I talked to Mr. Anderson for a long time just now. He’s actually not as difficult to get along with as I imagined. Quite amiable,” Cathy’s beautiful face showed a hint of excitement. “I also told him about your performance in recent years and your plans. He seems interested.”

Although she didn’t say it out loud, it was as if her face had the words ‘praise me‘ written on it.

“Thank you,” Calix said.

He wasn’t good at complimenting others.

After speaking, he strode away.

On the other side, Jack and Anya walked side by side.

Anya drank the chilled water with small sips.

Although she was wearing a sun hat, she still felt hot. The sun was quite strong today.

Her fair face was dotted with glistening sweat beads, and even her eyelashes were moist.

“Is it him?” Jack suddenly spoke, asking out of the blue.

Anya turned to look at him, slightly furrowing her brows.

“He is the man you used to like but later broke up with, right?” Jack further explained.

Anya’s puzzled and curious gaze turned into surprise, “How did you know?”

She couldn’t help but think back carefully but couldn’t figure out where she had exposed her secret.

Jack didn’t explain. With his vast experience in reading people and having suffered from love, there was nothing he couldn’t see through.

Anya also immediately understood and lowered her head, nodding, “Yes.”

“Since you’ve broken up, why do you still want to help him?” Jack stopped in front of the car, looking at her with a deep gaze.

Anya pursed her lips and smiled, “Actually, it’s not about helping him. It’s just that I owe someone a big favor, and coincidentally, he has a close relationship with that person.”

Jack nodded and didn’t say anything more.

He lowered his head and got into the car, while Anya stood outside, bidding him farewell.

As Jack’s car left, another car came over.

Chapter 92

Robert and William got out of the car.

As soon as Robert saw Anya, he seemed to have seen a pile of excrement, showing extreme disgust from his face to his heart.

He swayed over and didn’t forget to cover his nose with his hand. “What’s going on? Does your golf course receive all kinds of bottom–tier people?”

This remark was directed at the staff welcoming them, but it was aimed at Anya.

The staff felt awkward and didn’t dare to refute, just smiling apologetically.

Anya, on the other hand, pretended not to hear him, acting as if she didn’t see him at all and didn’t even spare him a glance.

“Robert, if you don’t know how to talk, then shut up. No one will think you’re mute.”

“What’s the matter? Feeling hurt by my words? Does it hurt to think about marrying her back?” Robert was used to being domineering and had little manners outside. He said whatever he wanted to say.

William glared at him and couldn’t be bothered to pay any attention to him. He walked straight to Anya’s side, “Miss Olsen, didn’t expect to meet you here.”

“Is that strange?” Robert interjected with an irritating tone, looking down on others. “Wherever Calix goes, she follows. Either she’s trying to cause trouble for Cathy and Calix, or she’s trying to break them up.”

Anya didn’t want to deal with this crazy dog, but seeing him constantly biting at her, she didn’t want to endure it anymore. She couldn’t help but look at him, her lips curling into a smile, “If Calix and Cathy are here, and you’re here too, it seems like you also want to cause trouble for them, or perhaps, you want to break them up?”

“You…” Robert’s face was full of anger, and the veins on his forehead twisted.

Anya wasn’t scared by his appearance at all. Her gaze remained calm and composed, her lips curved into a half–smile.

The more she looked at him, the more uneasy Robert felt.

He felt as if she could see through his inner turmoil!

“What nonsensel I’m

Chapter 92

thoughts to speculate about me, it’s disgusting!”

Seeing Robert acting like a monkey, trying to cover his inner turmoil with anger, Anya suddenly felt that he was pitiful.

He clearly liked Cathy but pretended to be upright and honest.

She lifted her eyes and saw Calix and Cathy walking side by side.

Not wanting to have any contact with the two of them, Anya ignored Robert and walked to the other side.

Her car was parked elsewhere, and the caddy was coming to fetch it in a few minutes.

If she had known that she would encounter people she didn’t want to see here, she would have preferred to walk over and get her car.

Now, she just wanted to keep her distance from them as much as possible.

“Robert, Mr Ripley.” Cathy seemed particularly excited, her voice clear like a nightingale. “Do you know who we met? It’s Mr. Anderson.”

She ran a few steps towards them, unable to hide her excitement, “Mr. Anderson is quite polite, not as difficult to get along with as others say. I explained your plans and the pros and cons of cooperation to him in detail, and he seems interested.”

“Cathy, you’re amazing!” Robert was Cathy’s diehard fan and praised her immediately upon hearing her words.

Robert’s flattery made Cathy even happier. “In my opinion, Mr. Anderson’s unwillingness to cooperate with Celesterrian businessmen is not set in stone. He just needs someone to convince him.”

Cathy always kept her goddess persona in mind, and when she said these things, she tried to suppress her excitement, speaking with a completely rational tone.

William listened to her twisted reasoning without saying a word, just sneering coldly from his nose.

He didn’t want to bother with Cathy and walked towards Anya again, “Where are you going? Need a

ride?”

“No, thank you,” Anya replied politely to William.

Chapter 92

They had only come with one car, and she really didn’t want to have anything to do with Cathy and

Robert.

Calix had been standing at a distance, seemingly detached from the crowd.

Only when William came to Anya did he raise his head.

His gaze locked onto the two of them.

His brows furrowed.

When William said he wasn’t worthy of Anya earlier, he took it as a joke.

But now, William seemed particularly close to Anya.

Cathy, who was constantly paying attention to Calix, felt a slight tremor in her heart when she saw his gaze fixed on the two of them.

Her fingers had already pinched under her sleeve.

What was wrong with Calix? Why was he paying more and more attention to Anya?

After Cathy returned, she became extremely sensitive to these things.

Moreover, there were so many people here, and Calix’s gaze was fixed on Anya. Where could she put her face?

No, she had to find a way to redirect Calix’s attention back to her.

It could only be focused on her!

Cathy was contemplating when William’s phone rang.

“Mr. Anderson,” William whispered and picked up the call.

Upon hearing the words “Mr. Anderson,” everyone held their breath.

William’s phone call lasted only about ten seconds. When he finished, his expression had already changed. “Mr. Anderson said he’s willing to cooperate with us.”

“Oh my goodness, that’s great!” Cathy was the fine

was divine intervention.

With excitement on her face and a gleam in her eyes, Cathy ran back to Calix, “Calix, I told you! Mr. Anderson is interested now. I convinced him!”

“Cathy, you’re amazing!” Robert’s voice immediately followed, and he gave Cathy a thumbs–up.

He looked at Calix with hidden meaning, “Cathy is the hero of this project now. Calix, you better cherish her, so no one else snatches her away because she’s too outstanding.”

Cathy blushed at Robert’s words, looking coy, “You’re flattering me. I just casually helped out a bit. I’m not that great.”

She was modest in her words, but her eyes revealed her true feelings. She saw herself as a hero.

Cathy deliberately flicked her hair and glanced at Anya.

Robert also noticed Anya again and sneered, “Some people put so much effort into using some dubious connections to cause trouble for our project and show off their abilities, but they were defeated by our Cathy.”

“Things that can’t make it to the mainstream will never make it to the mainstream. A monkey wearing dragon robes is still a monkey, and he can never be the prince.”

His words were sharp, reaching the point of being unbearable.

Though he didn’t name anyone, it was obvious he was talking about Anya.

Cathy needed someone like him–a spokesperson.

He said all the things she wanted to say to Anya!

It was so satisfying!

Cathy had been feeling suffocated by Anya’s outstanding performance, and now she was feeling extremely relieved, her smile shining brightly.

However, she still admonished Robert, “Robert, no more reckless talk.”

“Did I say anything wrong? Can you all honestly say she didn’t come all the way from Celesterra just

to cause trouble for us?”

Chapter 92

This time, it was clear that Robert targeted Anya.

Anya smiled and remained silent, just as the car arrived.

William looked at Robert like he was looking at a fool and spoke before Anya got into the car, “Mr. Anderson said the reason he decided to invest in our project is because he trusted Miss Olsen’s judgment.”

Ding!

His voice wasn’t loud, but it seemed like a time stopper. Everyone, except Anya, was locked in place!

Robert’s mouth was wide open, unable to believe it, and Cathy, unable to maintain her composure, blurted out, “How is that possible?”

“Yes, how is that possible!” Robert immediately joined in, “William, are you so biased towards Anya that you’re making up such lies? Whose side are you on?”

William didn’t want to waste time with him and pressed a button.

Immediately, they heard Jack’s unique, steady, and deep voice on the other end, “Mr. Ripley, I’m willing to give Celesterra businessmen a chance. You should thank Miss Olsen. It was because of her that I saw the good side of Celesterra businessmen, and because of her qualities, I believe the Celesterra businessmen she recommended are reliable.”

“Also, remind your business partner to choose their women wisely.”
