Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

Chapter 284 The Threat From Joshua

After entering the private room and sitting down, Ricky personally poured Anaya a glass of wine. Ricky put on a

business-like smile and said, "Ms. Dutt, it is all thanks to you that Techking Group was able to smoothly acquire

OrinGame. Let me toast you first."

Tim picked up the glass in front of Anaya and said to Ricky, "Mr. Maxwell, Ms. Dutt doesn't know how to drink. Let me

drink this for her."

As soon as Tim finished speaking, he gulped down the wine in the glass.

Alcohol often made people make mistakes. Thus, if it was not necessary, Anaya would not drink alcohol.

But it was not a pleasing action to refuse to drink with others at the table. Thus, Anaya smiled and explained, "I have a

weak stomach. The doctor suggests that I should drink less. Mr. Maxwell, please forgive me that I can't drink with you."

Ricky didn't mind it. He said casually, "Ms. Dutt, you have a health problem. That's understandable."

After Ricky finished drinking, he went back to sit opposite Anaya and told Anaya about the acquisition case of

OrinGame. Then, he talked about the government's recent policies.

As they chatted, Ricky "inadvertently" shifted the topic and started to talk about the Maltz Group's projects.

Ricky said, "The housing prices have risen sharply in the past two years, and many companies want to get a share of

the profits. Many large and small companies surged into and disrupted the market. They also caused many problems.

"You know about the No. 4 District of Waltcester, right? I heard that the real estate developer forced the original

residents to leave there. As a result, someone jumped down from a building, and I heard that his spine was broken.

"At that time, this matter stirred up quite a bit of a disturbance in the local area. In the end, it was suppressed by force.

But it was really a misfortune for that family. After all, they lost the head of their family."

Ricky sighed and shook his head.

Ricky's acting skills were not good, but Anaya calmly continued the topic and said, "If I remember correctly, No. 4

District of Waltcester is the Maltz Group's project."

Last time, Anaya had used this piece of land to trick Joshua out of some money.

"Yes, it's the Maltz Group's project. The Maltz Group's reputation is pretty good. I wonder why such a thing happened,"

Ricky sighed. Then, he added, "However, that's what I have heard from others. I do not know whether it's the whole

truth or not."

Ricky meant that he could only give Anaya information. Whether Anaya dared to investigate or not would depend on

herself.

After all, not everyone would dare to expose negative news about the Maltz Group.

At least, after Ricky heard about this news, he kept it hidden and

did not dare to report it.

Anaya said with a smile, "Since it's just a rumor, it's highly likely that it's fake. After all, Mr. Maltz has always been a

very upright person. His subordinates probably wouldn't do such a thing."

Ricky didn't know if Anaya meant to investigate or not. But he didn’t ask.

Ricky had originally only planned to try and see if Anaya had any plans to fight against the Maltz Group head-on.

Anyway, Ricky had already given Anaya the news. It was up to Anaya to decide what to do next.

The dishes had been served, and Ricky picked up his fork.

Anaya suddenly noticed Ricky’s cufflink.

It was inlaid with diamonds and was very exquisite.

"Mr. Maxwell, is your wife the one who gave you the cufflink?"

The first few times Anaya met Ricky, Ricky's cufflink was more ordinary. But the one he wore today looked a little fancy.

"This is indeed a gift from my wife." At the mention of this, the smile on Ricky's face faded a little. "Ms. Dutt, to tell you

the truth, this cufflink is actually fake.

"My wife met a few jewelry businessmen a while ago. Those people said that they had cheap goods in their hands. My

wife was a rich young lady before she married me and was well protected by her parents. She was ignorant, so she

was fooled by those businessmen. She bought many cheap goods from them.

"She only told me about this today and insisted that I should wear this out. I couldn't refuse her, so I agreed. On the

way here, I especially sent someone to investigate. This thing is indeed fake.

"And the so-called famous foreign brand that sold the thing to her was just a fictitious company.

"I told my wife about this. Then, she told me that she had several friends who also bought a lot of things from them. It

was really a great loss.

"Those businessmen are from abroad. They have long fled abroad. I guess I can't catch them anymore."

Anaya became interested. "Speaking of which, those scammers who sell jewelry really have some abilities. They could

deceive so many young ladies."

Ricky didn't agree with Anaya. "I don't think so. They only know how to pretend in front of others. My wife is innocent

and ignorant, so she believed them."

Anaya was noncommittal about this. Then, she shifted the topic and began to talk about something else.

After dinner, they went downstairs together and separated in the parking lot.

"Tim." Anaya stared at Ricky's back. She said to Tim, "Go and investigate those businessmen who sell fake jewelry."

Ricky had already gotten in the car. When the car passed by Anaya, Ricky smiled at her as a greeting.

Anaya also gave Ricky a smile. After Ricky’s car left, Tim asked,

"Ms. Dutt, shouldn't we investigate the case of No. 4 District of Waltcester first?

"If that thing is true and gets exposed, it will definitely bring a disaster to the Maltz Group."

Anaya said, "That thing should also be investigated. But the main thing is still to find those jewelry businessmen."

Tim didn't know what Anaya was trying to do, but he still took the order.

Tim had some wine tonight, so Anaya asked him to take a taxi back, and she got in the car herself.

On the way back, Anaya noticed that there was a Maybach following behind her car.

Joshua did not hide anything and just followed Anaya like this. It looked like Joshua was going to follow Anaya back

home.

Anaya did not get out of the car. Instead, she drove all the way back to the apartment she rented.

After Anaya stopped the car, Joshua also stopped his car.

Then, Joshua got out of his car and walked straight toward Anaya.

However, before Joshua got close to Anaya, several bodyguards suddenly appeared around him and blocked his way.

The leader of those bodyguards said politely, "Mr. Maltz, this is not a place you should come to. Please go back."

On the other hand, Anaya had already opened the car door. She didn't even look at Joshua. She walked directly toward

her apartment.

Joshua had been here before, but he was also stopped by these bodyguards at that time.

These bodyguards were Anaya's people.

It was impossible for Joshua to get rid of these bodyguards forcefully.

Anaya was on guard against Joshua!

Joshua gritted his teeth. When Anaya was about to enter the apartment, Joshua suddenly raised his voice and

shouted, "Anaya, I have the surveillance video from the suite that night!"

This sentence successfully made Anaya stop.

The bodyguards originally wanted to forcefully drive Joshua out. But seeing Anaya turn her head and look over, they

did not make a move and waited for her to speak.

Anaya stared at Joshua for a while. Then, she turned around and walked toward him.

Anaya asked those bodyguards to retreat a little. After confirming that they would not hear the conversation between

her and Joshua, Anaya shifted her gaze back to Joshua and stared at him with a cold face.

She said, "I didn't see any cameras in that room.

"You are lying to me, aren't you?"
