Chapter 209
Ann saw Marilyn leave and a faint sneer of satisfaction crossed her face. She thought, “Mom, I’m sorry. I
have to use your affection for Frank tonight.”
Ann turned around and glanced at Frank uneasily. When she met his cold gaze, she felt a little nervous.
Frank was still sitting lazily and elegantly. He looked at her with a half-smile. Ann suddenly felt a little
uneasy because she felt that he had seen through everything. She forced a smile and looked at Frank,
saying, “Frank, I’m very sorry. I accidentally knocked over the soup my mother had been cooking for two

asking me what happened. “I could only tell her about the thing that happened in the morning. She made
soup tonight and wanted to send it to you…” Ann did not continue saying, but Frank knew what she
meant. After Frank heard this, he just sneered and did not speak. Frank thought, “How hypocritical you
are! Gary has reported all of your whereabouts to me today. Otherwise, I’ll be cheated by you.” He said,
“You don’t have to apologize to me. As an employee, you’ll be subject to a term of probation of three
months. I am not an unreasonable person. I was too impulsive in the morning. I should not swear at you.”
His voice dripped sarcasm. Frank thought, “What a clumsy performance! The more you say, the more I
feel sick. You have taken Jodie’s place for so many years, and now you even want to stop me from
finding Jodie. I won’t let you go.” Frank rocked backwards and forwards on his chair, looking charming.
Ann was deeply attracted to him. It was rare for Ann to see such a wild Frank. The Frank she saw was
always cold, ice-like, and distant.
She smiled gently and said, “Thank you, Frank. I will definitely work harder in the future.”
Ann glanced behind her. She was a little worried. If Gary did not come back now, Marilyn would definitely
suspect Ann.
After all, she began to prepare for the play tonight at noon. Ann was a little anxious. Suddenly, she heard
footsteps behind her. She gave a smile because she knew that Gary had returned. Ann thought, “Frank,

i’ll give you a disappointing answer tonight. You’ll have given up on Jodie, right?” No matter how powerful
Ann’s parents were, they were not as powerful as Frank. As long as Frank did not interfere in this matter,
Ann would have a way to make her parents unable to find Jodie forever. Ann thought, “I can’t let Jodie go
back to the Chaney family.” Gary shouted from outside the door, “Frank, I’m back.”
Frank didn’t say anything. Instead, he sat quietly and waited for Gary to come in.
When Gary came in and saw that Ann was also there, he was shocked. He asked, “Miss Chaney, why
are you here at this hour?” Today, Gary had a busy day because of Ann. He was completely exhausted.
He didn’t expect that Ann would be here to get some information.
