Chapter 307
Anna grabbed his glass and said, “Leon, you should stop drinking. And we should leave now.”
Then Anna went to the reception, take out her card and tried to pay the bill. But Leon stopped her.
He handed the waiter his credit card and said, “II pay it! I can’t let you buy me dinner.”
Anna smiled, resigned, and asked the waiter to take him into the car and drive him back to the hotel.
When she looked in the rearview mirror, Anna noticed Leon, who was in the back seat. His face was flushed from the alcohol, and he was mumbling something.
Anna shook her head, asking, “You haven’t had much to drink, have you? Why are you so drunk?”
Leon clung to his hug pillow before saying, “Chris, | promise you. I’m never going to drink again.”
Hearing that, Anna sighed.
Several minutes later, she told the bellhop to take Leon upstairs after she pulled up in front of the hotel. She then took the room key from his jacket pocket and pushed open the door.
Having made sure that the waiter laid Leon down on the bed, Anna switched on the lights and then shut the curtains.
After that, Anna turned on the air conditioner and poured another glass of water for him, which she placed by his bedside.

She was aware that many celebrities rose to prominence through 307 He Lied Y chances. She thought Leon’s story was very sad, almost as if fate deliberately played a joke on them.
On the other hand, Anna believed that he wasn’t lying because no one would make up such a ridiculous story to gain sympathy from others. Anna stood at the curb to call a cab after leaving the hotel. While she was still immersed in Leon’s sad story, she saw Wayne standing across the street
Because it was so dark, Anna thought she had got the wrong person. She could see, however, that Wayne was still wearing the black coat she had given him earlier in the day.
Wayne had just gotten out of a taxi. And Anna started to dash to the crosswalk and attempted to speak with him.
Just as Anna was about to cross the street, the traffic light turned red. While she was standing still and waiting, she called Wayne.
At that precise moment, Anna noticed another woman walking out of the same cab. They then proceeded to walk shoulder to shoulder toward the mall.
Although Anna was far away, she could see Wayne take his cell phone from his pocket. And she could see the woman next to him staring at his phone screen.
As soon as she got through to Wayne, Anna asked a bit anxiously, “ Where are you, Wayne?”
“’m working overtime at the company. What’s wrong, Anna?”
Anna tightened her grip on the phone and said, “Really? But how come I can hear car horns?”
“Well, I’m downstairs buying dinner,” Wayne replied.
“You haven’t eaten yet? How about | come to get you? It’s late; you 307 He Lied a should stop working.” Anna pinched her thighs, trying to devise an excuse for Wayne.
However, she really couldn’t think of any.
Instead, Wayne replied, “No, thanks. Anna, don’t wait up for me. I’ll be back later tonight. Bye.”
Wayne then hung up the phone as if he didn’t want to talk to her anymore.
At the same time, Anna gripped the phone tightly and turned to face the man and woman across the street. She didn’t like to think of the worst-case scenario, but Wayne was obviously lying to her.
And she could tell that he was trying to conceal something.
Passers-by began to cross the street once the light turned green. Anna dashed through the crowd, and then ran after them into the mall.
Anna had no idea where to go after walking into the mall. She stood in the doorway, looking at the elevators, flustered and confused, unsure of what she was supposed to do.
As the cell phone in her pocket was vibrating and that people around her were staring at him, she answered the phone as soon as she saw it was Peace calling.
“Anna, where are you? Are you in Birmingham?” Peace asked with concern.
Anna frowned, and then still looked around, trying to find Wayne.
“Yes.”
Peace said anxiously, “Well, I need to tell you something. Karl said that Wayne has found Matthew’s mother.”
Anna’s eyes widened in surprise, and she asked aloud, “What? How?
What are you talking about?” 307 He Lied a
Peace said, “Easy, Anna. | don’t believe what Karl said either, because Matthew is your child. Well, Karl just told me that Wayne found Matthew’s birth mother and met with her. He said that the woman took the initiative to meet Wayne.”
Anna frowned and said, “That can’t be true! She must be a liar!”
Peace was silent for a moment before saying, “So, have you ever thought of what if she isn’t a liar? Are you certain that the man back then was Wayne? Honey, you can’t tell if the man is him just by his necklace. Besides, he claimed to have misplaced the necklace for a long time and had no idea when he did.”
Anna stood in the noisy crowd and found Peace’s words very confusing. She said, “No, let me think about it! I’m pretty sure Matthew is my kid.”
Anna was certain Matthew was her child because the jewelry store clerk said the necklace belonged to Wayne. And Wayne did get a surrogate to have his child
Anna wasn’t sure if Wayne had ever lost the necklace, and there wasn’t enough evidence to prove he was the man.
As Anna panicked, Peace asked, “Don’t worry, honey. Did you and Matthew ever take a paternity test?”
“Oh, yes, I’ve done it before,” Anna said as she gradually calmed down.
It was done in secretly by Charlotte, not by her. That report confirmed that Wayne was Tammy’s father. However, Anna had just forgotten about it out of panic,
Peace said anxiously, “Oh my goodness, that woman is a liar! Anna, you must be more cautious these days. It always struck me as odd, and Karl explained that Wayne had his assistant investigate Matthew’s mother, 307 He Lied
and it turned out that there was something wrong with that.”
“What? What’s the problem?”
“That’s the point of the problem because Karl won’t talk to me about what happened afterward. He said he was afraid it would ruin your relationship with Wayne.”
Anna froze, and then a shiver ran down her spine.
She thought that because Wayne discovered something was wrong with that incident, he knew it wasn’t the surrogate mother who gave birth to Matthew. And, just as Wayne was about to discover the truth, this woman appeared out of nowhere.
Anna had the impression that an invisible hand was pushing them, making everything go wrong
Moreover, she felt as if God was just joking with her.
