Chapter 547 Such A Coincidence

person in charge recently and finally succeeded in securing the contract. Not to mention, they backed out right

when they and Antea Group were about to sign the agreement.”

It was truly heartbreaking for Antea Group, as the collaboration they thought they could secure effortlessly was

intercepted at the last moment before the contract was signed.

Gwendolyn was pleased. “You did well. Tell me the details.”

Zion nodded respectfully and started recounting enthusiastically.

When he was done, he added, “That’s about it. You should’ve seen the look on Annie’s face when she walked out of

the conference room. Her eyes were red from rage, evidently unwilling to accept that outcome. You really did her

dirty this time.”

She snorted inwardly. It’s just one mere partnership. This is nothing. Since Annie’s backer is Paul, I’ll take down

Antea Group and leave her with no one to rely on.

After being set up to be involved in a car accident, secretly plotted against, and getting hit on the back of her head

with a stick, Gwendolyn wanted Annie and Paul to pay a dear price for all those incidents.

Intercepting the collaboration and letting their company suffer monetary losses were only the beginning of her

plan.

She also had to find out Annie’s identity.

Gwendolyn grew more excited the more she thought about it. “Well done securing this collaboration. You may go to

the finance department to claim the bonus you deserve.”

“Thank you, Ms. Harris.” Zion was unable to hide the joy in his eyes.

He quickly left the CEO’s office and headed to the finance department to redeem his remuneration.

Not long after his departure, Gwendolyn’s assistant knocked on the door and came in. “Ms. Harris, Antea Group’s

general manager has requested to make an appointment to meet with you in the next few days. Will you meet

her?”

Annie was overseas at present, miles away from the country. Gwendolyn figured the woman must be exasperated,

having to rush back overnight to deal with the mess after Zion snatched the collaboration that supposedly belonged

to Antea Group.

That was also why Annie was in such a hurry to meet with Gwendolyn.

Wearing a cold expression, Gwendolyn replied, “No. Tell her my schedule is fully booked for next week and let her

wait.”

“Understood, Ms. Harris.”

After her assistant left, Gwendolyn spent the afternoon working leisurely and comfortably in a good mood.

Elven, who had been investigating Annie’s parents’ detailed information for several days, finally made some

progress. He called and sent the information to Gwendolyn’s email.

She tapped on the keyboard with her slender fingers, accurately entering her email account password to check the

faxed document.

It turned out that Annie’s father was arrested due to an incident related to his company when Annie was in

herteens

The data showed that there was a spy in his company who committed financial fraud that led to a serious tax

evasion issue. Subsequently, the person responsible for the wrongdoing resigned and fled, so Annie’s father as the

legal representative of the company, had to shoulder the responsibility.

As for whether he was wrongly accused or not, the truth remained unclear.

After he was imprisoned, he went mad in less than half a year and was then transferred to a mental hospital. Two

months later, he took his own life.

Annie’s mother raised the young Annie on her own, working three jobs simultaneously to send her daughter to

study abroad.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly died of cerebral infarction in Annie’s second year of studying in Chanaca. making Annie

an orphan. Afterward, Annie completed her studies with her mother’s legacy and the subsidies from Ospea to low-

income families with single mothers.

Just before her graduation in her senior year, she participated in an outdoor school activity, which involved going to

the countryside to gain experience in farming that would earn her extra credits.

Annie took part on vacation.

in the activity without hesitation and somehow ran into Paul, who was visiting Châmara

Paul fell in love with her at first sight and practically supported her financially. During her internship period, he took

her back to Ospea and blatantly used his connection to secure her a position in Antea Group.

The frown on Gwendolyn’s face deepened as she read further. How could it be such a coincidence? Evelyn went

missing in the countryside, and Annie happened to meet Paul in the countryside too.

While pondering, she continued scrolling down with her mouse until she reached the last page.

A picture of Annie’s graduation photo was attached.

Her appearance was similar to how she looked not long ago. Her outward form didn’t change, and her countenance

was even still as innocent-looking as before.

Aside from the graduation photo, there was also a picture of Annie participating in a dance performance at the

academy.

Gwendolyn exported both images and quickly sent them to the company’s professional department for inspection.

Five minutes later, she got the results.

There were no traces of the pictures being photoshopped; they were indeed unaltered.

So, all the evidence seems to be fine. If this Annie wasn’t switched and was someone who grew up in Ospea, does

that mean I’ve been overthinking? Could all these truly just be coincidences?

Even so, Gwendolyn remained concerned and couldn’t shake off the sense of unease.

She had always found Annie extremely dangerous, so she had to get to the bottom of that matter.

However, she received only that much information and wouldn’t make any headway dwelling on it. Clear headed,

she decisively closed the webpage.

There’s no hurry. Someone is more anxious than me. Once Annie comes here in person, she can forget about

leaving Chanara anytime soon. Perhaps only by talking to her personally can I obtain the answers
