Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 172

On the way back in her car, beside herself with anger, Anna called her mother and said in annoyance, "Mom, I want you to tell Dad to stop collaborating with that Constellation Tech! They're in cahoots with that skank!"

Taken aback, Anna's mother replied, "Anna, what are you talking about?"

Anna looked extremely irked. "Aren't we collaborating with that sh*t of a company? We should tell them off! Get them away from us, as far as possible!"

On the other end of the line, Anna's father took over the call. "Anna, what did you just say? Which company are you talking about?"

"Constellation Tech. That rubbish of a man is clinging onto us since he knows that he can't climb the ladder himself. I must teach that rubbish a lesson." Anna sneered.

Anna's father frowned as he knew his daughter's temper. With a thump of his heart, he asked, "Anna, what did you do? Who did you meet from Constellation Tech?"

"Eli… something? I don't know myself. I just know that rubbish isn't worth it for me to remember his name."

His frown grew deeper. "Elijah Parker?"

An unperturbed Anna replied, "Sounds like him. He looks like a decent man, but unfortunately, his eyes are just decorations since he chose to defend that skank."

At that, Anna's father choked on his breath. "Anna Pearson! What have you done?! Quickly apologize to President Parker! We might still be able to salvage our deal!"

Anna immediately raised her voice. "What for?! Why should I apologize to that nobody?! Why do you have to care about some business deal? Dropping that company won't have any effect on us, but he would be filled with regret when he loses the Pearson Group as his backer."

Anna's father shouted in anger, "The Pearson Group is a different matter! What does it have to do with you?!"
