In the afternoon, all the flights were grounded due to the rainstorm Later, Wayne learned that the airport would be closed in the following two days.
Therefore, he had to stay in the Maldives with Matthew for two more days. And it was already three days later when they arrived home.
At Kingsford Neighborhood.
In the villa, Wayne stood at the door of Anna‘s room and looked at the empty room silently with a frown.
“Mr. Wright, Miss Gabriel came back two days ago and took all her belongings away. She said that she had found a new place to live,” Henry said.
“What else did she say?” Wayne asked.
“She said that she lived here for more than a month and should pay the rent. Then she left five thousand dollars here.”
Henry showed the paper bag in his hand to Wayne and said, “I didn‘t tell her your bank account when she offered to pay the rent. Then on the second day, she brought this bag of cash.”
At the sight of the paper bag, Wayne‘s face darkened. Does she want to make a clean break with me so much? At this time, Matthew pulled the hem of his clothes, looking aggrieved and flustered.
Wayne said impatiently, “Didn‘t you see the room has been empty? She has left. It‘s no use pulling my clothes.“, “.
Hearing that, Matthew pouted and then burst into tears.
Seeing this, Henry and the maids were at a loss. They took turns to comfort him but it was in vain.
Wayne was both angry and distressed. He raised her voice and said, “Is she so good? She‘s not your mother. Why do you like her so much?”
Matthew kept sobbing and couldn’t utter a word.
Henry quickly asked the maids to take Matthew back to his room and then he persuaded Wayne, “Mr. Wright, don‘t be angry. When Miss Gabriel came back, I could see that something was weighing on her mind. I don‘t know what happened to her. Didn‘t she enjoy herself when she was in the Maldives?”
At the mention of this, Wayne frowned more tightly and thought. There was nothing wrong with her when she was in the Maldives except for the day before she came back. She looked fine on the beach in the afternoon but looked absent–minded at dinner. Scott said that she had something to deal with at home. Did anything happen to her family?
“Henry, where does the president of Gabriel Group Frank live?” Henry was stunned for a second and then answered at once, “He seems to live at Lotus

Community.”
In a luxuriously decorated house that was worth more than ten million dollars, a maid put down a cup of coffee on the table and said indifferently, “Miss Anna, have some coffee.”
When she was about to walk away with the tray, Anna stopped her and asked with a frown. “Why hasn‘t my uncle come back yet?”
The maid gave her a lukewarm look and said, “Mr. Miller is very busy. He usually deals with the cases in the Court at this time of day and doesn‘t have time to come back.”
Anna reminded her, “Today is Sunday.”
“So what? He always has social engagements on Sundays. Miss Anna, you can wait as long as you want. Maybe Mr. Miller will come back for dinner today,” the maid said and walked away without looking at Anna.
Anna took a deep breath with mixed feelings.
She was only five years old when her grandfather died.
When she went back to the Gabriel family, her aunt–in–law sent all her belongings to the Gabriel‘s House without hesitation, wishing that they would never contact each other again.
It was the first time that Anna had been here since she left this place many years ago.
If it weren‘t for the custody of her children, she wouldn‘t have come back to ask for the heritage left by her mother.
After a long time, there was a rustling sound from the second floor, and someone came downstairs.
Anna looked in the direction of the stairs and felt nervous. After a few seconds, the sound of footsteps stopped.
In the middle of the stairs, Anna‘s aunt–in–law, who was in her fifties and a little chubby, looked down at her with her sharp eyes full of indifference.
With a mean look, she said with sarcasm, “Oh, I was wondering who‘s so annoying and disturbed me. It turns out to be you. You haven‘t been back for almost twenty years. I have thought that I would never have the chance to see you.”
Anna clenched her fists nervously and said in a hoarse voice, “Auntie Selina, sorry to disturb you. I didn‘t know you were at home.”
Anna had been here for more than half an hour, and the maids went upstairs from time to time.
If it weren‘t for that she insisted on staying here and waiting for her uncle, her aunt–in–law wouldn‘t have come downstairs to see her.
“I’m napping just now. The maid went upstairs and woke me up. I hate to be disturbed when sleeping.” Selina said with a displeased look.
Feeling embarrassed, Anna didn‘t know what to say.
Selina was born in a family of diplomats and was powerful in the political circle of the capital.
In the past, her family provided much help for Anna‘s uncle in his career, so she always condescended to Anna‘s uncle.

Anna had been afraid of Selina since she was a child. Although she had grown up, she was still nervous when facing Selina,
“Have a seat” Selima went downstairs and sat down in front of her with an indifferent expression, she came straight to the point and said, “What do you come here for?”
Anna hesitated for a moment and said, “I‘d beller wait for my uncle to come back and talk to him.”
“Are you sure? Then you may wait in vain. I don‘t know when he will come back. Maybe he won‘t come back today.” Selina said.
Hearing this, Anna clenched the comer of her clothes, thought for a moment, and said, “I came here to take back the legacy that my mother left to me. I don‘t want anything else but that house.”
“No wonder you suddenly came back. It turns out that you‘re here for money,“ Selina said with a sneer.
Then she snorted and continued, “Your mother left the Gabriel family without a penny and died after she gave birth to you. Who told you that she left a legacy to you?”
When Anna heard this, her face turned pale and she said hesitantly, “Grandpa told me about that. Although I was young before, Grandpa had told me about it many times, so… I remember clearly about what my mother has left to me.”
Back then, although Anna‘s mother didn‘t take away anything when she left the Gabriel family, she still had a lot of assets under her name and part of them were given by Anna‘s grandparents
“Really? I‘ve never heard about it. When you left here, you were only five years old. How is it possible that you still remember it clearly? Besides, Frank borrowed a lot of money from your grandfather before when his company had a cash flow problem. And your mother also gave him almost all her money to help him run his newly started company. How is it possible that your mother left any legacy to you? Stop daydreaming!” Selina said coldly.

Anna‘s face turned ghastly pale. She bit her lower lip hard and gritted her teeth, trying to hold back her anger.
After a few seconds, she clenched her fists and said, “Auntie Selina, if my memory serves me right, Grandpa told me that the house was in my name. I don‘t have the property ownership certificate now. But if you don‘t believe me, we can go to the Administration of Housing to check it out.”
As soon as Anna finished her words, Selina‘s face changed and she said snappishly, “What do you mean? You mean I‘ve pocketed your property? Since you also don‘t believe me, you can go
to the Court and sue me. Let‘s see if your uncle will file a case for you!”
Anna‘s heart sank when she heard this.
Her uncle was the president of the Court of Birmingham. Even if she wanted to sue Selina, her uncle wouldn‘t help her.
