Chapter 201 NDA
1082words
Everyone knew Noah had been lenient because of his wife. They should all be grateful for Anna; otherwise, two guards would have been drowning in the water right now.
When Noah claimed he had never killed anyone before, he meant with his own hands. He always ordered their deaths and punishments.
The four of them boarded the speedboat and made their way to the deck. Cara, who had been waiting on the deck, smiled the moment she saw them arrive. She had arrived a while ago with Beth and the Declans but had insisted on staying on the deck until she saw Noah. She wanted to see him one more time before she went home.
Seeing Anna with him, Cara frowned. She had forgotten her plans didn't work last night, and Anna was still in his life. Cara had never hated anyone the way she hated Anna Sui. She would have to find another means of getting her out of Noah's life forever.
"And here comes the witch," Beth muttered as they both stared at Anna. Of course, Cara wouldn't be standing alone without her friend Beth. They were always together.
As Cara stared at the couple, an idea popped into her head, and she smiled. The Declans hated media presence in their lives and family and would do anything to eradicate it. They hadn't been okay with Noah marrying a known person, but since he never involved her life in theirs, they didn't see a need to worry anymore. However, Cara saw an opportunity to exploit this and cause trouble for Anna. If she could engineer a scandal that dragged Anna and, by extension, the Declan family into the media spotlight, the family might force Noah to distance himself from her.
All she had to do was take the perfect picture when no one was watching. Setting Anna up had been an issue since three other strangers had that in mind. She was yet to find out who they were; that's why she stole the CCTV footage, making it seem as if the cameras had been turned off.
Both she and Beth forced Chalamet to deny them having any footage of what had happened. Chalamet had no choice but to lie to his cousin. He knew Noah will never forgive them.
"Noah." Beth rushed to her brother's side with a bright smile, but he didn't return it. Noah was quite stunned at her jovial attitude. They weren't this close for her to be all smiley with him. "What is it, Beth?" he asked, ignoring Cara, who hadn't stopped smiling dreamily at him.
Cara's gaze didn't go unnoticed by Anna, who narrowed her eyes at the girl eyeing her husband. She didn't like the way Cara was staring at Noah as if he were hers.
"Mum left us because we were a little too late to the deck. Can we ride with you?" Beth smiled.
Noah glanced at Anna, "Paul will take you home. I have somewhere important to be."
"They can ride with us," Anna interjected, turning to her husband with a smile. "You won't let your sister ride with your assistant, would you? She's family." Anna held Noah's hand firmly as she stared at Cara.
Everyone tend to forget Anna is no longer the quiet girl who let people step on her. She was the same Anna who had shamelessly chased Mack around for years, earning insults and notoriety. She never let any woman get close to Mack while they were together until Nari had destroyed her career.
People hadn't forgotten the notorious Anna Sui. That notoriety had been one of the reasons for her fame back then. The heiress of the Sui family chasing after the young billionaire and entertainment guru, Mack Yong.
To some, they were the perfect couple, while to others, she was a desperate spoiled brat. This was why no one believed they had broken up when she announced it.
"Are you sure?" Noah asked, wanting to be certain.
"Yes, I'm sure," Anna replied confidently, squeezing his hand reassuringly. As they moved forward, the chauffeur drove the limo Noah had asked for earlier. "Lola, please come with us," Anna said to her manager, who quickly nodded.
As they all stepped inside the car, Lola did too, seating in a corner. Noah's limo was big enough to carry ten passengers, so everyone sat comfortably. Anna didn't stop kissing and arranging his clothes as she stared at Cara, and the man beside her loved every action she took.
Maybe he should get close to more women to make her act this way forever, Noah thought and chuckled inwardly.
"Is this your friend Elizabeth?" Anna asked harmlessly, but Beth ignored her. The Anna she had met that day, who treated her like a maid, was totally different from the Anna who was always with her brother. To her, Anna was a two-faced bitch who needed to leave her family.
She's not even up to their level to be married to Noah, Beth thought bitterly.
Cara wanting to insert herself in, decided to play along with Anna's facade. "Yes, I'm her friend. We've known each other since kindergarten.
Anna smiled, her gaze steady. "It's nice to meet you, Beth. I hope we can get along well." Cara just gave a tight-lipped smile. If only Anna knew what she had in mind against her.
Cara wasn't bad looking herself, thought Anna as she stared at her. That's why she had been jealous when the girl stared at Noah. She knew Noah would never cheat on her, but she didn't appreciate the way other women stared at him. He is hers alone.
Anna had no idea both girls were infact older than her, yet she treated them like she was the older one. Noah just smiled, wondering what she would do if he told her they are both older than she is.
"Since you're going to be a part of the family for a really long time and you know my line of work." Anna started. "I thought it would be good if you signed an NDA."
"What?" Beth finally spoke.
