Chapter 199 Closed for Further Action
Then Hugo and Florence called her to ridicule her. They told her to stop messing around and that she should consider the negative impact of such posts on her child even if she didn’t care about her own reputation. Hugo even added that Anna should be a role model for her child!
Dealing with these people made her feel exhausted.
Sarah had already arrived for work.
Many people didn’t see that post about Olivia because it had been posted too early in the morning. Nonetheless, the post about Anna was uploaded when everyone was just waking up and checking on their phones. With Eugene’s help, the post reached millions.
Sarah came over to put in her resignation today. It was too embarrassing for her to work for such a boss.
What worried her more was that other companies might not want to hire her if they knew that she had worked here before.
“Miss Anna, I wish to study abroad, so I won’t be coming over tomorrow.”
Anna replied lazily, “Okay. It hasn’t been easy for you to stick with me until now. Go get your salary and leave today.”
Sarah was a little embarrassed to hear her say this. “Miss Anna, I’m sorry.”
“There is nothing to be sorry about. The branch of a rotten tree must seek a healthier trunk. Just go.” Anna’s expression remained mild.
Sarah looked at Anna and felt rather surprised. Anna was not such a kindly boss after all, so her calm demeanor made Sarah feel inexplicably scared!
She had read about a quote along the lines of ‘Unless one burst out from the silence, one shall perish in it!’
However, the crazy woman in front of her was really not the kind of person who would perish in silence.
“Miss Anna, why don’t you hide and lie low for a while?”
Anna replied, “I won’t hide. Why should I hide? This is my hometown, and this is my studio. I’m not going anywhere!”
But even if she didn’t want to hide, someone was trying to drive her away.
Knock knock!
Someone was knocking on the door. Startled, Sarah got up to open the door.
Two men in uniform were standing outside the door.
Entering the door, they briefly asked a few questions. After they confirmed that Anna was the boss, they started inspecting the place and found that the partition walls used flammable and combustible materials. There were also some other problems: the fire partition was not in place; the fire protection equipment was damaged; the electrical wiring was too old; the leakage switch was not sealed properly. In the end, Anna’s studio had to close down for further action!
Sarah was stunned as she stood rooted to the spot. Anna’s arrogant words about how she would not leave the place were still reverberating in Sarah’s ears, yet the studio was closed down by authorities in less than ten minutes. This is all too sudden!
On the one hand, Sarah was thankful that she had decided to leave before all this happened, while on the other hand, she began to sympathize with Anna. It was obvious that Anna had offended someone who was now deliberately targeting her!
Anna tried to argue with the authorities, but unfortunately, she couldn’t do much about it. The results could not be changed.
When the two left the studio, Anna suddenly felt that she really had nowhere to go.
It was impossible for her to go back to the Gray Family since the divorce agreement had already been signed. But if she returned to the Maxwell Family now, her parents would probably berate her to no end. After thinking about it for a while, she really had nowhere to go.
Olivia is to blame for this! If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have fallen to this point.
Why did she come back? Why didn’t she die out there?
To drown her sorrows, she went to a bar. After downing bottle after bottle of alcohol for the whole day, she wobbled out of the bar in the evening and was immediately dragged into a van.
As soon as she got into the van, an icy dagger was put to her neck. It was accompanied by a hoarse male voice that growled, “Are you the one who has offended our boss? Do you know that you are courting death?”
With the knife at her neck, Anna was petrified. When her skin felt the cold metal, her mind immediately cleared as chills ran down her spine.
She looked at the man in a panic, but the man was wearing a mask and she couldn’t see his face clearly.
“W-Who is your boss?”
The man sneered, “Don’t ask. It’s someone you can’t afford to offend anyway.”
