After marrying my boss (Anna)
Chapter 469

Chapter 469

I refused to cower before Lincoln.

“Anna, don't you think that you have gone overboard? You weren't like this in the past.” Lincoln lookedat me coldly as fury continued to blaze in his eyes. My attitude had infuriated him further.

“Previously, I was too ignorant. However, after experiencing so many things, I am no longer the samewoman from a year ago. How would I dare to stand here and speak to you if I were still the same?” Ismirked mockingly.

Everyone said that I had changed a lot and had become heartless. However, if I did not change andremained the same as a year ago, I would have no power to oppose Lincoln.

“I will never allow you to remain with Michael. It is your fault that my wife is still unconscious even now.You have to pay for what you did to her. I have already shown you mercy by not having the policearrest you. How dare you do this to me?” Lincoln's tone was full of threat. He implied that if I refused toleave Michael of my own volition, he would not let me go as before.

I was a little worried, to be honest. However, I would never leave Michael, no matter what Lincoln said.

“Since you could let me off previously, why can't you show a little more kindness and let me remain withMichael. It is not only for my sake by also for Michael's happiness. Can't you try to forgive me? I knowyou hate me for what happened to Mrs. Shaw, but now that things have come to this, I can only do mybest to make amends,” I said.

I tried to persuade Lincoln. Despite my previous threats, I still wished to resolve this matter peacefully. Idid not want Michael to be sad.

“You think you can convince me to let you and Michael stay together? I'll have you know. No matterhow much you implore me, I would never allow it. Here is five million. You should take the money, leavehere, and don't ever come back,” Lincoln replied coldly and placed a cheque on the table.

I looked at the cheque on the table and furrowed my brow. Does he seriously think that I would leaveMichael for money?

I was already furious, and this indignity fanned my anger even more. He was humiliating me with sucha paltry cheque.

I chuckled coldly and looked straight at his face before saying, “Only five million? Mr. Shaw, don't youthink it is too little? I can easily replace a job with at least a million annual salary. What makes you think Iwould leave Michael for just five million? You have severely underestimated me.”I refused to cower before Lincoln.

“Anna, don't you think that you have gone overboard? You weren't like this in the past.” Lincoln lookedat me coldly as fury continued to blaze in his eyes. My attitude had infuriated him further.

Lincoln glared at me immediately. His gaze burned with anger as he said, “You think the money is toolittle?”

I saw that he was trying to force back his anger, but the rage was evident in his tone.

At this moment, I did not say anything but looked at him impassively. My heart boiled with fury.

“How much do you want? You can name a price for me. As long as you are willing to leave Michael andyour price is within a reasonable range, I will grant it,” Lincoln continued after I remained silent for sometime. His expression relaxed considerably. He must have thought that he could pay me to leaveMichael.

“It's priceless! My love for Michael is priceless. I will never leave him no matter how much money youoffer. Money is not what I want. Instead, all I want is Michael and Amaury!” I declared firmly.

I was not lacking in money. Furthermore, I could go to a company and replace a job to provide for myself.Therefore, money could not tempt me.

“Why won't you leave Michael?” Lincoln shouted.

He had exhausted his patience and was shaking with fury.

“I've told you my stance clear enough. I will never leave Michael, no matter what. If you disagree withthat, feel free to try anything. Michael and I shall prove how much we love each other,” I replied calmly.

I did not wish to continue the conversation with Lincoln. Therefore, I immediately turned around toleave.

Lincoln would only keep telling me to leave Michael. Therefore, we had nothing else to say to eachother.

“You!” Lincoln seemed to have more to say, but I did not bother to stop. I had no interest in listening tohim anymore.

I felt even more anxious after I left the Shaw residence. Although I pretended to be calm before Lincoln,no one would want anyone to damage their love life.

I received another message from Lincoln after I reached Birchwood. He hoped that I would consider hisoffer carefully and call him once I chose to accept.

I deleted the message immediately after reading it. At the same time, I began to feel a little worried.

Michael returned to Birchwood soon after I finished cooking dinner. Then, both of us sat opposite eachother to have our meal. I hesitated whether to tell him about my meeting with Lincoln today.

Michael had enough things troubling him. If I told him that, it would only make him even morefrustrated.

After hesitating for a long while, I decided not to tell him about it. Furthermore, Lincoln had not doneanything yet.

However, Michael could see that something was off about me. He frowned as he looked at me withconcern and asked, “You seem troubled today. Is something wrong?”

I turned to him and was still hesitant about telling him.

In the end, I decided to tell him the truth because Michael would know if I lied. “Your father asked tomeet me today.”

He frowned upon hearing my answer, and his expression darkened.

“Is he trying to make you leave me?” His tone sounded calm, but I could tell that he was angry.

Since I could guess what Lincoln wanted, it was not surprising that Michael knew too. Therefore, Ilooked straight into Michael's eyes and answered calmly, “Yes, I didn't agree to his request. I firmlyrefused his offer.”

“Do not worry no matter what he said. You should disregard it completely as if you never heard him. Noone can ever take you from my side!” Michael's expression hardened, and he looked at me with eyesfull of determination.

I looked into Michael's eyes and said firmly, “Yes, no one and nothing could make me leave you.”

“Let's eat. I will help you to resolve this issue. Also, I will ask the nanny to bring Amaury to see youtomorrow,” Michael said calmly before switching to another topic.

My mood instantly improved when I heard that I would be seeing Amaury tomorrow. As long as I couldsee Amaury, nothing else would bother me.

Furthermore, I believe that no one could separate me from Michael anymore.
