Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

Chapter 147 He’s Back

Anaya stood there quietly with an imposing presence that no one could ignore.

Her cold voice was not loud or low, and the people in the hall could hear her clearly.

Karley did not expect Anaya to have the courage to respond. She paused for a few seconds before she

collected herself. “Ms. Dutt, what would you like to say?”

A cold smile appeared on Anaya’s lips. She didn’t reply and went through the crowd and up onto the

podium instead.

The cold and white light shone down from the chandeliers on Anaya’s face, which was flawless.

Karley watched Anaya going up to her and took a step back, awed by the latter’s intimidating air.

Anaya stood in front of Karley and said with cold eyes, “I have a question for you.”

Karley tried her best to stand straight and make herself look imposing. “What is it?”

Anaya said quietly, “I wonder how many years you will stay in prison after you attempted murder with

drugs and forged the property transfer agreement.”

Karley was shocked. The audience was stirred.

The news that Adams suddenly fell ill and had surgery had spread two days ago.

People guessed Adams transferred all his property to Karley because he knew he was dying.

Anaya’s question put a new suspicion into everyone’s mind.

Adams” sudden surgery might be plotted by Karley.

This woman attempted to kill her own grandfather in order to get the property of the Dutt family.

When the shocking news was announced, the cameras under the stage started to flash with clicks. It

was noisy.

Karley looked away guiltily, looking for Aria among the audience. “I, I don’t know what you are talking

about…”

Karley was inexperienced and disturbed by Anaya’s question. The clicking noises of the cameras

quickened her

heartbeat.

Seeing that she was playing dumb, Anaya got straight to the point. “My grandfather had surgery

because you bribed my grandfather’s nurse to drug him.”

Anaya sounded confident.

Her words again stirred the crowd. The reporters who sat in the chairs dashed to the podium, and the

security guards tried to stop them.

“Ms. Karley, is Ms. Dutt telling the truth? Did you drug Mr. Dutt to get the property of the Dutt family?”

“The business world doesn’t seem to think highly of you becoming the president of Riven Group, Is

there a special reason why you insist on taking the position?”

“You are eager to become the president of Riven Group. Are you worried you will miss the chance if Mr.

Dutt wakes up?..

“Ms. Karley…”

“Ms. Karley…”

The reporters‘ voices were getting louder, and they asked sharper questions. Karley’s mind was in a

whirl, and she did

not know what to do.

Aria parted the crowd and went up to the podium, taking the microphone from Karley. “Please be

quiet.”

Her voice spread to every corner of the hall, and the people quieted down a little, waiting for her

following words.

Aria looked at Anaya. “Anaya, you say that Karley has drugged Adams. Do you have any evidence?

Karley is his granddaughter. Even if she doesn’t do anything, Riven Group will be hers sooner or later.

She has no reason to do such a thing.

“You’re an adopted daughter. You are more likely to hurt Adams for the property and sling mud at

Karley.”

Aria’s words convinced the people, who cast suspicious glances at Anaya.

As Aria said, compared to Karley, Anaya was more likely to be the murderer.

Expressionless, Anaya said in a cold voice, “I won’t stand here if I don’t have the evidence.”

Karley anxiously grabbed Aria’s hand.

Aria was also flustered, but she was much calmer than Karley.

“What is the evidence? We only believe in solid proofs.”

Anaya did not argue and sent a message on her phone.

Less than half a minute later, the door to the banquet hall was pushed open, and Cindy came inside.

Aria and Karley panicked at the sight of Cindy.

When Cindy went up to the podium, Anaya said calmly, “Aria, Karley, you instructed Cindy to drug my

grandfather and cause his heart disease, didn’t you?”

Karley was terrified. She denied it in a trembling voice, “We don’t know her! How can we know people

from the lower

class?”

“Really?” Anaya gave a mocking smile. “Ms. Waller, do you know Karley?”

Cindy nodded without any demur. “Yes, she found a job for my husband and used it as a bargaining

chip to make me drug Mr. Dutt.”

Karley was exasperated. “You’re talking nonsense! I can’t do such a thing at all! You’re lying. I’ll tear

your mouth…”

Aria quickly stopped Karley and gave her a warning look. She said to Cindy, “Ms. Waller, I heard that

your husband has just come out of prison. If you help Anaya to make a false accusation, you will go to

prison with your husband.”

Cindy was fearless. “You tried to kill me. I’d rather go to jail than be killed by you.”

As Cindy spoke, she turned to the reporters under the stage. “I swear that everything I said just now is

true. If you don’t believe me, you can go and investigate!

“Karley not only asked me to drug Mr. Dutt but also tried to kill me the night before yesterday. I hope all

the reporters can truthfully report this and bring Karley to justice!”

Her words excited the reporters, who pointed their microphones at Karley.

The venue was in chaos. The bodyguards couldn’t control the mob anymore. Many reporters rushed up

to the podium.

Anaya had done what she planned to do today and went off the stage without looking back.

Karley was surrounded by several reporters. When she noticed that Anaya was leaving, she quickly

raised her voice and ordered the security guards, “Stop Anaya! Don‘t let her go. This woman slings

mud at me. The person who catches her for me will be rewarded with 160 thousand dollars. No. 1.6

million dollars.”

Karley went completely insane, and her words drove the people around her crazy.

1.6 million dollars!

They would have 1.6 million dollars if they caught Anaya.

Many people looked at Anaya who had left the podium with greedy eyes.

Joshua sat among the guests. When he saw someone try to catch Anaya, he rose to help her.

Lexie stood next to Joshua and said, “Joshua, those people want to hurt Anaya. Go help her.”

Her words stopped Joshua, who withdrew his legs.

He had made up his mind not to care about Anaya. What was lie doing?

Anaya didn‘t care about her own safety and put herself in danger for the property. Why should he care

about her life?

Moreover, Lexie was with him. How could he leave Lexie for Anaya?

When Joshua was struggling inwardly, Anaya did 110t think of him at all.

With a cold face, she looked at the security guards who pounced on her. She clenched her fists, ready

to attack at any time.

However, before those people rushed up to Anaya, Samuel suddenly dashed from behind Anaya with a

dozen bodyguards and stepped in front of hier.

At the same time, someone held Anaya by the waist from behind. His burning chest pressed against

Anaya‘s back. She could hear the strong heartbeat and smell the crisp herbal fragrance.

Anaya selt safe instantly.
