Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 450

450 Everything at Once

In angry strides, the man approached Anna.

"You're not from around here, are you?" Anna asked. Anna realized something was wrong even though the man only said one word and was doing his best to hide his accent. He didn’t sound like a Birmingham native.

The man had no idea Anna would ask such a question. He froze, unsure how to respond. But Anna had already deduced the answer from his brief pause. She ignored the question with a smile. She said, "You're probably here because you were laid off a while ago. So, are you a previous employee or a family member of a previous employee?"

The man had prepared a brief speech to take the initiative in this negotiation. But he didn't expect Anna to realize the whole situation after asking two questions. He was frozen, unsure what to say. After hesitating for a while, he finally replied, "I'm Rosa's husband.”

"Rosa?" Anna asked, then nodded. She had previously read all the information on the fired employees in this incident and remembered this woman. "Of course, | remember her because she was the first to pull out the scissors and threaten to kill me.” Anna said hostilely.

When she noticed the man was scared, she said thoughtfully, "Rosa and the other workers were fired for breaking the company's rules and causing trouble. All of these decisions were made in full compliance with the company system, so you should have no concerns about this. As far as | know, the troublemakers have just been released from detention, correct?"

"Making a scene? We are good people who quit our jobs after learning that Lemon would treat us well. But we didn't anticipate you being so ruthless as to use toxic fabrics. You want to pass the buck and get rid of people now that the employees are sick. Let me tell you, that's not gonna happen!" The man then threw a pile of paper heavily at Anna

Anna looked through the paper and found that they were cases. She checked the date of the diagnosis and discovered that it was precisely two days before she fired the group of workers. She had a feeling that things were spiraling out of control.

Isabella noticed Anna was panicking and stood on her tiptoes to read the diagnoses. She became enraged when she saw the word "leukemia." Then Isabella snatched the case and smacked the man across the face.

"It couldn't possibly be a coincidence! Turns out you have this trick up your sleeve! Jerk!" She snarled. Isabella rushed over and attempted to hit him as she said this.

The man seemed to anticipate Isabella's reaction. He laughed and said, "Ha! We knew you would deny it. But they were all diagnosed with leukemia less than a month after starting work here. I now have the diagnoses of a dozen other employees. Ms. Wright, you're going to jai”

After that, the man gave a sinister smile. He didn't care what Anna would do to him. This would be even more convincing if the incident of Lemon's boss beating the victim made headlines.

"Oh, no!"

Anna was very calm, but Julia couldn't stop Isabella anymore. She had no choice but stood there and watch as the young girl smashed the bagin her hand at him.

The packed crowd became more agitated after Isabella did so. They had been waiting for the right moment. And they took advantage of the oa a ee situation.

Someone in the crowd threw a wooden sign in his hand at Anna. The wooden sign brushed against her shoulder with a loud clang and collided with the ground behind her.

Before the second one hit Anna in the head, she felt someone behind her pull her backward. She turned around, and the girl in the white dress appeared behind her.

"Isabella!"

It was too late by the time Anna tried to push Isabella away. Anna's brain went blank in that instant. A wooden sign hit Isabella's body heavily and made a dull sound, causing many chips were floating in the air.

Anna closed her eyes, not daring to look at the scene in front of her. Despite hearing the sound, Isabella did not experience the anticipated pain. She began to regret what she had just done and sweat all over.

She looked around at her surroundings. It was narrow and cramped, dimly lit, and filled with smoke from the open kitchen. Anna had no idea why Ryan had chosen this place.

"The tempura here is fantastic." Ryan explained it briefly."! watched the surveillance video you sent me and printed off some suspicious images," he said, pulling a stack of papers from his briefcase

"What exactly is going on?" Anna flipped through the stack of photos but found nothing suspicious.

Later, Anna realized that some of the images were not from the surveillance footage she had found. She became more serious as she a ee realized things were not so simple.

Ryan showed her some of these photos and told her, "This is a video screenshot of the woman pushing Mona down the stairs. I found something in this picture. Take a look here, Anna.”

Anna looked at the third image Ryan pointed to. She couldn't tell Which part of the image it was because it was zoomed in.

"This is the back of this woman's hand. We refined the image after zooming in on it. Look at that tattoo." Ryan pointed to another picture that had a plant with two leaves and a curved moon in the middle. The woman had that tattoo.

"It's only a tattoo. What does that imply?" Anna didn't quite get it.

Ryan elaborated, "A year ago, the Irish police cracked a big drug trafficking case. The gang used religion to recruit people for drug trafficking, p**********n, and gambling. They called their so-called religion Crescentism, and this pattern is their symbol.”

Anna asked in surprise, "So, you mean this woman is a member of their gang? And she's Irish?”
