BXBX NOVEL Chapter 275 - 275 The Fun is Just Beginning.
“Chloe will be given a new identity and would start life afresh in a country far from Amzone city,” Anna replied reassuringly.
Although Leon had been initially making plans to set Chloe free for his own ulterior motive, Anna coming to him with certain needed information had just made things a lot easier.
He chuckled inwardly when Anna talked about relocating Chloe to a distant country. If only she knew his plans for her husband, she wouldn’t have come down to his office in the disgusting pretense of remorse.
However, for the fun of it, he decided to indulge her in some amusing questions.
“What makes you think that your crazy daughter would not return to Amzone city to claim what rightfully belongs to her? Or do you intend on relocating her to the moon?”
Leon’s new set of questions filled Anna with hopes and boldness. The fact that he was already considering some of the challenges that will be faced if Chloe were to be released, was a good sign that he was willing to help her.
“As I said earlier, she will be relocated to a distant country where she will only have access to limited resources. She will have no choice but to work for a living. She would no longer bear the name Chloe Robinson because her father has stripped her of all her entitlement. He believes she’s dead to him and all his wealth would go to my adopted son.”
“Is that so?” The corner of Leon’s lips curled into an evil smirk as he imagined Albert’s downfall when he turns his believed dead daughter against him.
.....
“Yes, my heart will finally be at peace knowing that she’s free from pain and suffering. All I want is for her to start afresh and led a humble life. So, are you going to help me with both rescuing her and relocating her? I don’t want this rescue mission to be traced back to me otherwise my husband will have my head on a silver platter. I’ll pay handsomely for it.” Anna asked pleadingly.
“No problem, I will rescue her, but I won’t be needing a dime from you. Also my methods are not to be questioned. All you have to do is drop the information about her location on my table and I will take it from there.”
“Oh my goodness!” Anna shot up from her seat in excitement. She quickly ransacked her bag and brought out a piece of folded paper.
“Everything you need to know about the psychiatric hospital location is on this piece of paper.”
“Good!” Leon picked up the folded piece of paper and went through it, before putting it inside a file.
“Are you sure you don’t want any financial commitment?”
Even though Anna was boosting with money that wasn’t entirely hers, she knew it would be difficult to pay Leon if he asked for an outrageous sum. It won’t take her husband anything to trail her transaction and find out that he has been betrayed by her.
“Yes, consider this a favor for being a good friend to my mum in the past. However, there is a condition...” Leon drawled while holding Anna’s intense gaze. “... You’re never to call, visit me or ask me anything about Chloe’s new location. I will make it look like she was killed in an assault so that your husband wouldn’t bother snooping around. I will also let her know about your intentions to give her a fresh start and she will contact you if she feels like it.”
“That’s perfect by me,” Anna beamed and stretched out her hand for a handshake. “Thank you so much, Leon.”
“Have a nice day, Mrs. Robinson.” Leon’s eyes darted toward the door while ignoring her outstretched arm.
Slowly and shamefully bringing down her hand, Anna picked up her handbag and briskly left Leon’s office.
Immediately after Anna left, Leon tapped on a button on his laptop and his discussion with Anna started replaying from the beginning.
“The fun is just beginning,” he smirked devilishly and made some brief calls.

A few minutes before 2:00 PM, Lily walked into the APB fashion company, dress in disguise like an middle-class customer looking for something special.
As instructed by Tom, she gave the fake name of Dora at the front desk office and requested that she would like to see the chief operating officer by the name of Denise Walter.
“We have been expecting you, madam Dora,” a female receptionist smiled. “Please, take the elevator to the second floor and go towards your left. I will quickly inform Miss Walter’s secretary that you’re on your way up.
“Thank you!” Lily smiled at the receptionist’s high level of professionalism, before leaving for Denise’s office.
When Lily got to the second floor as directed, she turned to the left wing and strolled towards another young lady who was smiling while welcoming her.
“Madam, Dora, Miss Walter will see you now.” Denise’s secretary led her smartly towards Denise’s door and opened it for her.
“Wow!” Lily unconsciously exclaimed loud. “Is this what it feels like to have lots of money? How would all these employees addressing me as madam react when they find out that I’m a common secretary?”
“Don’t just stand there talking to yourself, please come forward?” Ella’s unique and enchanting voice cut into Lily’s temporal trance, bringing her back to reality.
“Yikes! Did I just fool myself before the wife of the great Leon Treshvire?” Lily’s face gradually turned red from embarrassment. Before her, sat two beautiful ladies. One was obviously the enchanting wife of her boss and the other was most likely Mr. Tom’s fiancee.
“Good afternoon, Mrs. Treshvire and Miss Walter.” Lily carefully approached Ella and Denise, who were both seated side-by-side on a double couch. “I’m sorry for my improper behavior.”
“Calm down, Lily,” Ella chuckled sweetly. “You don’t need to apologize about anything. No harm was done.”
“Thank you, ma’am!” Lily smiled politely. From the corner of her eyes, she observed Denise scrutinizing her intensely like a watchful eagle.
“Why don’t you take a seat and join in the snack fun before we go down to business.” Ella gestured to an opposite single couch.
Lily cautiously took her seat and stared briefly at the assorted yummy snacks on the round table before her. Her posture was a bit stiff as she tried not to look into Ella of Denise’s eyes that were focused on her.
“Thank you, ma’am, for the kind gesture but I’m afraid I’ll have to decline because I’ve eaten something a while ago.”
“This is not food but snacks.” Denise finally spoke up in a friendly tone. “You don’t have to be scared of either of us because we don’t bite.”
Lily slowly looked up and met their welcoming gaze and this made her smile broadly. At the same time, this made her wonder why her boss would ever think of messing around with another lady when he had a beautiful and angelic lady as his wife.
