CHAPTER 56: ANNA’S TREACHEROUS PLAN

The parents looked at their daughter with surprise and astoundment.

Could that really happen?

They couldn't help but be tempted.

Mr. Hilary was someone who put importance on benefits more than anything else.

He didn't care how the plans were executed as long as the benefits could be reaped in full.

Her daughter had never disappointed her from day one. In fact, both his daughters were perfect and never ceased to amaze him.

His son, though, was useless and couldn't be relied on. Thankfully, he had a backup plan just in case things go awry in the future.

He had been the proudest when Selena married Logan. His family rose to power and people started to look at him with reverence. After all, it was his daughter who managed to steal Logan's heart.

It was unfortunate that Selena died six to seven years ago. Ever since her death, although Logan still supported the family, it wasn't as great as it used to be before. The difference could be felt.

That was why he didn't stop when his wife started pushing Anna towards Logan. There was no way that such a man would remain single forever. One day, he was going to find a wife and it would be better if that other half came from his family.

There was nothing wrong.

Unfortunately, that plan didn't work, and Logan married a woman from god knows where. Until now, no one had managed to dig out the identity of the mysterious wife. The Meyers were hiding her pretty well.

Despite knowing the hospital where the Meyers were being seen visiting lately, the person couldn't be identified.

If only his wife didn't interfere, then maybe his daughter might have a chance. That's why he was angry. Thanks to his wife's outburst, the relationship between the two families was affected.

He wasn't like these two women, whose thoughts were filled with money and love. He was a businessman, and he knew that Logan was encouraging these other businessmen to deal with him. He just didn't understand what his family did to deserve the targeting.

Just because his daughter set his eyes on him could make him react like that. Was that even possible?

Thankfully, he had a clever daughter who once again brought another idea.

He didn't know if it would work, but all he could do now was listen to Anna. If there was anything that didn't seem perfect, as someone who had been in business for decades, he could perfect the plan. They were in this together.

They rise and fall together. He couldn't escape from that.

"Mom and Dad, right now, we don't know what the Meyers know. But from the reactions I have received from Alice, they should be aware of something a bit serious. However, they might not have evidence to prove it. As long as it remains that way, then we can continue to act innocent," Anna told her parents as she looked at them, her tone solemn.

At hearing that, the couple looked at each other in wonder. Which secret did they know in the first place? There were too many to count.

However, if it was the case that they don't have the evidence, then they might indeed be at an advantage.

"Then what do you plan to do?" Mr. Hilary asked her.

Anna smiled slyly as she tapped her fingers playfully and answered, "For now. It looks like they are venting their emotions just because they found out about the feelings I have for Logan. So, the best solution is for me to leave the country right now," determination written all over her face.

"What?" Madam Hilary exclaimed as she stood up, her voice a bit loud, expressing her shock at what she had just heard.

Anna felt her heart swelling seeing her mother's reaction. Although her mother tends to force her to do other things, one thing is for certain; she loves her, a lot. Her love was even greater than that of Selena, and she had always been proud of it.

The first thing her mother thought of when she got into trouble wasn't to berate her but to stand for her. Although that action landed her in hot soup, it still felt good being stood up for like that.

It was more so the case seeing her now, so she could only say to coax her, "Mother, I am not leaving forever. But there are a few things that I must do when I am there. We can't fight the Meyers head-on. We need to bring more trouble for them in the form of ...." At the same time revealed her plans.

It was only then that Madam Meyer finally calmed down and sat down to listen more to this amazing idea.

Even Mr. Hilary, listening to his daughter's plot, couldn't help but nod his head satisfactorily, finding that his daughter was resembling him more. Very shrewd and with a sharp mind.

Rather than fighting head-on a battle she couldn't win, it was better to back down, recuperate and, if possible, use other forces to defeat her enemies.

She could take down all the people in the battle without a sweat and even win at the end.

" ….. and we can achieve such an ending by sacrificing myself for a moment. Besides, without my presence here, I won't be included in the list of suspects if anything happens. Our family will be safe. Don't you think?" Anna asked at the end, after explaining her treacherous plan to her parents.

Madam Meyer's eyes were red and tears pooled in her eyes at the thought of the sacrifices her daughter was about to make for them.

On the other hand, Mr. Meyer was done doing the SWOT analysis of the whole plan. The strengths and opportunities of the plan outweighed the weaknesses and threats, so it was feasible.

In addition, if things really go according to plan, his family wouldn't need to spend a single cent on any resources.

What more could he ask for?
