Chapter 488 Come To My Villa Tonight
Colton shook his head, too. At the moment, there was no lead to follow up on. Nicole lowered her eyes without
speaking. As things currently stood, they had no choice but to wait for the driver to speak up.
Anna’s head ached as she thought about these things. Moreover, her anesthetic had worn off by now. Besides her
headache, she was also suffering from sore feet, which made her feel especially uncomfortable. She waved her
hand, saying, “This is too complicated, so I’m not gonna think about it. Colton, help me look into it. If it wasn’t
intentional, then forget about it.”
Colton nodded before helping move Anna up.
Anna’s car accident instantly put the Gardners on edge once again. Wanting to check on her condition, Lydia visited
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe Gardner Residence several times, only to be thrown out by the Gardners, who said that even though Anna
survived the car accident, she needed a good rest without being disturbed. Lydia couldn’t do anything about it, but
there was no news from Colton about the wedding being canceled, so she assumed that nothing had gone wrong
on Anna’s side.

Douglas had been feeling inexplicably restless lately. He didn’t know why, but it was perhaps because of Whitney.
Now her pitiful face appeared in his mind whenever he closed his eyes.
He loosened his collar, but just as he wanted to go out to get some fresh air, he heard his assistant lecturing the
new secretary. “Don’t you know that Mr. Lane never attends dinner parties? Turn down these social engagements
right away.”
More From The Web
Douglas paused in his tracks. Turning to look at them, he suddenly asked, “Is there a dinner party tonight?”
After hearing his words, his assistant immediately replied with a nod, “Yes, there is, Mr. Lane. But you said before
that you wouldn’t attend these social engagements, so I’ll turn it down for you.”
“No, you don’t have to. I’ll attend the dinner party tonight,” Douglas replied.
A hint of surprise flickered across the assistant’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it and replied respectfully with a
nod, “Yes, I got it.” Everyone knew that Douglas didn’t like to engage in social activities, and yet he said he was
going to attend tonight’s dinner party. It was as if the sun had risen in the west today—unbelievable.
After getting drunk from drinking a lot of wine, Douglas phoned Whitney. Even though he never saved her number
on his phone, he was able to tap it out on the phone’s screen as if he had eyes in his fingers. “Come to my villa
tonight,” he ordered before hanging up at once.
She clutched her phone with a baffled expression. However, she had no other choice. Since their previous
conversation, Douglas had indeed withdrawn his appeal against her family. For the time being, her family wasn’t in
danger, but she had to pay off her brother Michael’s debts by herself.
At the moment, she had no choice but to do her best to please Douglas. Otherwise, if he got displeased and made
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏman appeal again, her family would have to face the disaster once more.
At the moment, the Campbell Family were still dominating the furniture manufacturing industry. However, Michael
had taken over the family business in recent years. Thanks to that dumb*ss’ incompetence, the Campbell Family’
family business had suffered a drastic decline with no signs of improvement since his takeover.
Although Jonathan had resumed control of the family business afterward, the company had suffered heavy losses
under Michael’s management and had only been able to break even over the past few years. As a result, the
Campbell Family’ position as the industry leader had become just a name.
Whitney entered the villa, which looked the same as before. However, the small figurine next to the television was
gone, and the trash can was empty.
A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes; little did she think that Douglas would actually throw the figurine
away. At the same time, though, she was somewhat nervous deep down.
Three days had passed since she last met Douglas here. And today, he called her all of a sudden, asking her to
come here as if he wanted to do something. He had merely told her to come here, but she smelled something fishy
in his words.
