The Amazing Strike Back: Mommy Wants To Revenge!-Chapter 151: Anna, What Am I Going to Do With You
The scene inside the hospital roomโ
Kevin Jacobs didnโt expect that just after being away for a short while, heโd return to see his artist barely clothed, looking as if heโd just survived a โcalamityโ. ๐ฏ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ต.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
The patient gown specially for Florian Hollis was thrown on the ground, including the pants and... more intimate clothing.
Now he was wrapped in a blanket, and Kevin Jacobs took off his own garish pink suit jacket to drape over him, but Florian dodged it disdainfully, causing the jacket to slip off and reveal the young manโs slender, elongated frame and the white skin on his shoulders.
"Be good, Florian, quickly put on your clothes so this wicked woman doesnโt take further advantage of you," Kevin Jacobs said sorrowfully while holding him.
Labelled as a โwicked womanโ, Anna Thornton: "emmmm..."
Anna Thornton glanced at Florian and noticed the kid had used lipstick to draw kiss marks all over himself, mimicking the shape of lips. Not only on his face and shoulders, but also in some rather tricky places she had seen earlier, which made her shudder slightly.
This mischievous kid, was it necessary to play this big?
Especially with Kevin Jacobs looking guilty and repentant, as if thinking, โItโs all my fault for not protecting you, allowing you to be ravaged by others.โ
"Florian, Iโm so sorry for you! I didnโt expect this to happen just after being away for a little while."
Kevin Jacobs wrapped Florian tightly in the blanket โto guard from wolvesโ, comforting Florian while also drafting an email to report to President Sterling.
He didnโt have direct contact with President Sterling; it was only yesterday while revising the script that he got the contact email.
In order to clarify the situation from start to finish, Kevin Jacobs crafted a lengthy essay of over five thousand words.
Uh, although he actually doesnโt understand the specific ins and outs.
All he knew was that when he returned, he saw Florian covered in what looked like lipstick marks from forced kisses, looking weak, helpless, and pitiful,
and then he saw Anna Thornton coming out of the restroom.
Anna Thornton never had a good reputation regarding her private life, and since she had just returned from abroad, she was inevitably open.
Moreover, the shade of her lipstick matched the marks on Florianโs body!
She might have been coveting Florian for a long time, and today she finally found the chance while the agent was away... then this female hooligan couldnโt control her beastly urges, and with Florianโs injured foot, he couldnโt resist... thus, she had her way!
Seeing Kevin Jacobs writing his grievance email with tears and emotion, Anna Thornton had reason to believe he had mentally penned a melodramatic novel.
At the end of the email, to substantiate his claims, Kevin Jacobs even attached two evidence photos.
In the photos, Florianโs fragrant shoulder was slightly exposed, his head held low, his face full of kiss marks, clearly looking like an innocent flower bruised by harsh treatment.
The other photo was of Anna Thornton photographed by Kevin Jacobs with a flash. Anna Thornton blocked her eyes with her hand, making it impossible to see her specific expression, but combined with her ducking her head, an apt subtitle like โThe perpetrator is now very remorsefulโ could easily be added.
At the time Conrad Sterling received this email, he was just about to negotiate cooperation with an important client.
In the few minutes before arriving at the business location, the man opened the email in the car.
Wondering why Florianโs agent had business with him?
However, upon opening it, he found the content was entirely accusing Anna Thornton, saying she bullied Florian while the agent was away.
Anna Thornton bullying Florian? Thatโs too ridiculous.
As he continued to read the email, Kevin Jacobsโ implication of โbullyingโ meant Anna Thornton had forcibly engaged in relations with Florian.
So ridiculous that Conrad Sterlingโs brows knitted into a โๅทโ character!
"President Sterling, is something wrong?" Ethan noticed his unsettling expression through the rearview mirror.
"Nothing, keep driving."
"Oh."
Conrad Sterling set his phone down, closing his eyes to rest.
Originally intending to put the matter behind, he found it wasnโt so easily dismissed, prompting him to open his eyes again.
"Ethan, make a U-turn up ahead."
"But President Sterling, your meeting with the client is about to start."
"Postpone it, just say something came up, heading to the hospital."
Meanwhile, at the hospitalโ
Anna Thorntonโs phone rang, it was Conrad Sterling calling.
Before she could decide whether to answer, Kevin Jacobs had already made the decision for her, snatching the phone away.
Seeing the caller ID labeled โBig Pig Hoofโ, Kevin Jacobs directly hung up the call: "No matter who he is, you canโt communicate with the outside world now, not even your agent. And donโt think of running, our Florian has just come of age and suffered such a trauma, you must give an explanation. Or wait for President Sterling to come and do justice!"
Alright, Anna Thornton could only wait for Conrad Sterling to arrive.
To preserve the crime scene, Kevin Jacobs kept an eye on both the victim and the perpetrator, ensuring they stayed put.
Anna Thornton and Florian exchanged glances, silently asking: "Should we keep this going?"
"Of course, until President Sterling arrives, donโt you want to see his reaction?" Florian responded in kind.
"But your agentโs reaction is driving him mad!"
"Ignore him, the more exaggerated he is, the more real it seems."
Anna Thornton suddenly understood a bit why Kevin Jacobs was so neurotic.
Running into an artist as playful as Florian Hollis, itโs really not easy to work with!
Later when Conrad Sterling arrived, he saw the โoriginalโ scene in the hospital room and started rubbing his temples.
"President Sterling, youโre finally here!" Kevin Jacobs quickly stood up to welcome him, "Youโre just in time, look at this big issue with our Florian... How will he face anyone in the future?"
"Uh... itโs not like he canโt face anyone. I wasnโt planning on hanging myself or anything." Florian couldnโt help but interject, "After all, with Miss Anna... I actually did it willingly, finally shedding that virgin label!"
Upon hearing this, Conrad Sterling shot him a glance.
Ethan, following behind President Sterling, was more shocked, doubting his own sanity.
What on earth is going on now?
Could it be... President Sterling got cuckolded?
Did Miss Thornton switch targets so quickly, snatching up the most popular national heartthrob?
Ethan really didnโt know whether he should praise Miss Thorntonโs boldness from a fanโs perspective.
Or if he should sympathize with him from the perspective of President Sterlingโs assistant.
"President Sterling, Florian just turned an adult. He knows nothing and was easily deceived by an emotionally experienced woman. You must help us get justice."
Probably only Kevin Jacobs was genuinely upset there.
At the same time, he felt wronged. Since Florian is a celebrity, they couldnโt call the police for such matters, fearing the scandal. No one besides President Sterling could know.
He could only treat Conrad Sterling as the โLord Bowenโ of justice, pouring out his grievances.
Conrad Sterling couldnโt be bothered to listen to the whole thing, directly pulling Anna Thornton up and taking her away.
"Hey, President Sterling, where are you two going? I meant... handle it internally!"
"Please make sure it doesnโt negatively impact Florian."
...
Conrad Sterling led Anna Thornton to the underground parking lot, then told Ethan to go: "Go back yourself!"
Ethan, worried, couldnโt help but remind him: "Uh... President Sterling, please remember to stay calm, give Miss Thornton a chance to explain..."
But before he finished, Conrad shot him a stern look, as if asking who was the boss here?
Ethan wisely shut up immediately, retreated with his tail between his legs but looked back frequently as he left.
He noticed that even as he walked away, President Sterling and Miss Thornton didnโt seem like they were about to get in the car.
Conrad Sterling leaned against the car door, one leg slightly bent, propped a hand on the car top, and lit a cigarette.
His gaze, through the smoke, was unrestrained as he looked at Anna Thornton.
Actually, Conrad Sterling didnโt believe that email from Kevin Jacobs.
He wasnโt as easy to fool as Kevin Jacobs and Ethan.
Yet, despite not believing, he still came!
Even putting aside important business for her!
Yesterday too, Conrad Sterling found himself willing to set aside the most crucial work to pick up Anna Thornton.
Indeed, what mattered most to him was work, not Marilyn Ford.
Realizing how much he was starting to care about Anna Thornton, Conrad Sterling initially planned to keep his distance for a few days to calm down.
But unexpectedly, this woman just wouldnโt give him a momentโs peace.
"Anna Thornton, what am I supposed to do with you?" Conrad suddenly asked.
Anna Thornton knew this question wasnโt actually meant for her, so she didnโt respond.
At this moment, Anna Thornton was rather well-behaved, for once not saying anything more to disturb him, just standing by as Conrad smoked the cigarette.
Suddenly, Conradโs phone rang, indicating a new video message.
Feeling vexed, he casually opened it, only to hear a series of โuh-huhโs coming from it.
Anna Thornton glanced at him in surprise, and Conrad himself was also stunned for a moment.
The video was sent by Ethan Hawthorne; he didnโt expect Ethan to provide him with such content.
But upon closer inspection, the video wasnโt some famous action movie star; the male lead was Ethan Hawthorne himself...
Previously, at Alice Club, didnโt they make a bet?
The last one to have their female companion picked up had to settle the bill and stream a โtrainingโ video...
That day, Conrad had snatched Anna Thornton from Finn Grant, initially thinking Finn would be the last.
But after they left, Finn forcibly took over Ethan Hawthorneโs companion.
So in the end, it was Ethan who was last!
Fearless, Ethan Hawthorne actually recorded an X-rated โtrainingโ video and sent it around, but Conrad felt it was an eyesore.
Especially when Anna Thorntonโs curious gaze darted over, Conrad quickly deleted the video, not allowing her to see other menโs disturbing scenes, and tossed the phone onto the front seat through the open car window.
