Chapter 270
Ann frowned and looked at Steve. His warning words echoed in her ears. She understood that in a rich family, the daughter-in-
law could not make any mistakes, let alone lose face for the family. In front of outsiders, wives were all decent. At home, they
must be virtuous and have to behave themselves for their husband and mother-in-law. Ann was waiting to marry Frank with great
expectations, but she did not expect such a result. She had always known Frank’s thoughts. Regardless of whether he would
marry and have children in the future, he would definitely not marry her. Ann was just an orphan. Life would not give her
everything she wanted because of her weakness, her forbearance, and catering. Nobody would care about her thoughts and
hardships. People would only care about whether she was capable and successful. They will not be worried about her unhappy
emotions. Ann said calmly, “I know. You don’t have to worry. I will do as you said and wait to marry you.” Without love, money
was the best comfort for her. Ann had lived in a wealthy family for so many years, and she knew clearly that there were too many
places where money protected dignity. Steve finally put on a faint smile. “Ann, we are neighbors. I know you are clever and
sensible. Since we have grown up together, I have to pay for your first time. I know you are not happy, but I am not willing, either.
“However, we can’t be indifferent to the pressure from our parents. As long as you help the Gita Group, you will always be the
wife of the president of Gita Group.” Steve suddenly thought it through. Even if he did not marry Ann, he would marry a girl from
another rich family. Marrying someone he was familiar with was much better than marrying someone he was not familiar with.
Moreover, he could control Ann. If he had an affair outside, Ann would not dare to say anything. Steve was not a person who
would give up the entire forest for a single tree. Furthermore, he would not be like Frank, foolishly waiting for someone who
would never return home. Ann smiled at him. “Steve, remember your promise to me today. The hostess of the Gita Group can
only be me.” Ann held the phone in her hand and smiled strangely. From beginning to end, she could not get rid of the temptation
of money. She had once sincerely worked hard for love. She had paid, but she did not get a response. There was a good saying,
“If someone overestimated himself and always tried to pluck stars with his bare hands, he would only hurt himself in the end.”
Steve suddenly said, “In a while, your parents and your two brothers will go to my house for a meal. We will get engaged first. As
for the wedding date, since we have been busy recently, I will let my mother choose an auspicious day later.” “Alright.” Ann
nodded. It was a foregone conclusion. No matter how hard she tried, she could not change it. Those who were not loved would
always be in an uproar. And those who were loved would always be in preference. Ann slowly closed her eyes. As long as Jodie
did not come back, the Chaney family would always be her support. Judith returned home and saw Lucas still reading at home.
She put the computer on the table, turned it on, and changed her shoes. Lucas glanced at Judith’s computer. “Mom, do you have
work to do?” “Yes! Lucas, someone has touched my computer. I am afraid that something might happen, so I have to come back
to work overtime to deal with it.” Judith looked at Lucas’s puzzled face and smiled. When she was with Lucas, she would tell him
everything without feeling awkward. “Has the computer been touched?”
