The words came easily to Maria once she caught Anthony's icy glance. Anthony seemed to be happy with her response, because a complacent smile tugged at his Lips

"You've done well. Let's go home," he said.

“Okay.”

“There's something I have to tell you first, so that we can avoid any misunderstandings in the future," Anthony added.

Maria could tell from Anthony's tone that whatever he was about to say was a serious matter, so she straightened up and looked at him attentively.

“Jacqueline Bowles, the daughter of the Bowles family, has just returned from abroad. She is my ex-fiancee, but we have an innocent past. Keep that in mind.”

Maria was speechless.

Anthony had an ex-fiancee?

And what was she supposed to keep in mind?

Oh, she got it.

She was supposed to remember that there was nothing going on between Anthony and this Jacqueline girl.

The Bowles Group. Its domestic reputation wasn't obvious, but its main influence was overseas.

It wasn't until a few years back that the Bowles Group seemed to have taken a fancy to the domestic market and began to seek partners— frequently contacting the major powerful families in the country to show their kindness.

The Wilson family, the Pattison family, and the Smith family all used to have a partnership with the Bowles Group.

However, the Smith family one day took the initiative to stop all of the partnership projects with the Bowles Group under Mathias' insist.

As for the Pattison family, they still seemed to have contact with the Bowles Group.

The Wilson family in Sheffield used to be partners with the Bowles Group too, but one day they just suddenly stopped all business with them.

It was around the same time when the Smith family cut ties with the Bowles.

That was all the information that Maria had found out through Heaven about the Bowles Group.

She casually threw her phone aside as she lazily Lay on the sofa.

At that point, her mind was a mess.

“What am I doing? Why am I searching for information about Anthony's ex-fiancee?" she murmured. "If he finds out about this, he'll..."

“What are you doing?" Anthony's voice suddenly came from behind her. She didn't hear his footsteps at all.

Maria's body trembled in fear. She noticed that Anthony was wearing a tank top and running pants. Not to mention, he was barefoot. It was no wonder he didn't make a sound when he was walking toward her.
