Chapter 569

"A-Alright, Grandma." No matter how well-educated Isabel was, she would never have imagined that the man she loved was this ruthless. She knew some of the rumors about him, but she never expected to find out about his direct involvement in a car accident. "Didn't we come to dine with Anderson? Let's not talk about unpleasant things. Anderson, you can't just keep Grandma out. Family is the best, and she's getting old. You know that she hasn't exactly been healthy…" Anderson didn't say anything. Shane stepped forward and said, "Sorry, Madam Sonia, Mrs. Barlow. Mr. Barlow needs to travel overseas for a business trip. Perhaps we can discuss this after he comes back." Sonia scoffed. "I'm pretty sure he won't spare me a second even if I pass away out there. He's powerful now and has no respect for anyone. I'm curious to see if Isabel can keep him under control once they get married." Isabel smiled. "Alright, Grandma. Let's not disturb Anderson. Let's head home." She turned to look at Anderson. "Come home soon and remember to call me." Sonia was wise, and after leaving, she tapped on Isabel's hand to console her. "You must be terrified after learning about all these things." Isabel pursed her lips and nodded. "I didn't expect things to turn out this way. Regardless, I'm willing to accept him and understand him no matter what. Grandma, I want you to accept Mayra. She and…" Isabel didn't complete her sentence, but Sonia already knew what she was trying to say. "Mayra is a nice girl, and in those years she spent with Anderson, she suffered a lot. Even if Anderson has… bad intentions toward her, we can't just leave her out there on her own. I trust Mayra. She won't do anything wrong." "You're just too kind. You're great, but your only flaw is that you always put Anderson's needs above yours. Monsters aren't the scariest things in this world—it's human nature. A person can do the unimaginable just to get what they want. "Apart from taking care of Anderson, you need to focus on yourself. Don't panic over small matters. Remember, I'll always back you up." Touched, Isabel nodded. "Alright, Grandma." … In the office of Nexus Tech in Candor City, Gordon brought Mayra to the studio after taking her out for a meal. Mayra was asked to sit in his office while he went to a meeting. Bored, she could only look around and organize his documents in accordance with his preference. Through the glass window, she could see the meeting room past all the office tables. She propped her chin up and focused on Gordon. He was so handsome when he was working, to the point that all his flaws could be overlooked. His image overlapped with what she remembered from Gordon in her past life, and she realized that Gordon would become even more good-looking in the future. The lawsuit looming over Nexus Tech had concluded.
