Ann nodded docilely, held out her small hand and pulled him up.
They could feel each other's body heat. All of a sudden, the air seemed to grow hot and heavy.
After she supported him to the bed, he pointed to the wardrobe: "Fetch some clothes and help me put them on."
Why?! Did he have no hand?
Ann was screaming inside, but in the reality, she nodded like a lamb and fetched him his clothes.
"Put them on me."
She tilted her head, and started putting his pants on his head.
Well, she was mentally challenged, wasn't she? Who could blame her?
Roy's face darkened.
The pants wouldn't fit through his head, but Ann was still trying to force it on.
"Hubby, why does the clothes not fit?" She looked genuinely perplexed.
"How did you put on your clothes?" Roy asked.
Oops. Clever man.
"The nurses taught Anny how to put them on. But they didn't teach Anny how to put hubby's clothes on..."
Roy threw the pants aside, and grabbed her hand, teaching her how to put his shirt on.
Feel his skin against her fingertips, Ann went pink.
Oh god somebody help her!
After a lot of struggle, the shirt was finally on him. And now...the pants.
Ann couldn't let this set a bad example. She lied on the bed: "Anny is tired. Daddy says Anny can eat and sleep, and Anny won't have to do chores after marrying hubby. Anny's arms are tired."
"You Reeds are daydreaming!" Judy's angry voice sounded from the door.
Roy quickly put on his pants and warned Judy: "You should have knocked."
"I'm sorry Mr Roy. This won't happen again. I went to see Master Lewis, and he says he'll come here tomorrow, and deal with the Reeds himself. And you, Ann Reed, gather your stuff and come out with me." Judy gripped Ann's wrist.
"Where are you taking Anny?" She looked like a startled deer.
"Back where you came from."
She wanted her to go back to the Reeds? Now look who was daydreaming. There was no way she was going back. She had somewhere she needed to be this afternoon.
Ann hid behind Roy and threw her arms around his waist: "Anny wants to stay with hubby. Anny don't want to go. They'll lock me in the hospital. Anny wants to stay."
"Now you know who to go to? But I'll tell you what, there's no way Mr Roy will marry a fool like you!" Judy gripped her hand and began to pull her out.
"Anny wants to stay. Hubby! Hubby!" Ann started crying like a child.
Tears poured from her eyes, and her thin form starting trembling with the sobs.
Roy pulled her into his arms, and stroked her hair: "Judy, let her stay. If the Reeds are coming tomorrow, we can deal with this face to face. I'm heading out now. Just leave her be."
"But Mr Roy..."
"I said leave her alone." Roy's voice was gentle but firm.
Judy glared at Ann before saying: "I got it young master. Then we'll wait for the Reeds to fetch her."
Roy cupper Ann's face, wiping her tears: "Be a good girl and wait for me, okay? I'll protect you. Whoever wants to take you away, they'll have me to answer to. You just beat them until I come back, okay?"
Ann nodded vigorously and tightened her arms around his waist: "Hubby is the best. Anny likes hubby."
She finally got him on her side...whew! That was a relief.
After Roy left, Judy looked at her with narrowed eyes.
Ann thought she was going to yell, but Judy smiled at her: "Ann, there are many pretty flowers in the garden. Would you like to see them?"
Ann was just worried about how to sneak out. Now the opportunity was handed to her on a silver platter. Wasn't that nice?
She went downstairs, clapping her hands.
She saw a butterfly in the garden and immediately went after it.
Ann knew Judy was watching her from upstairs, so she had to be careful.
"Judy, what if she gets lost somewhere?" Maid molly asked, a little worried.
"Then it won't be our problem. She's the mistress of this house, and we're merely servants. We can't exactly lock her up, can we? We're busy doing chores, and if she sneaked out while we were not looking, it wouldn't be our mistake. When Mr Roy comes back and learns about this, he'll do what he should do." Judy said meaningfully.
"But what if something happens to her?"
"Like I said, we've been busy, and we don't know where she is. Now, get to work. If someone goes to Mr Roy and tells on me, she'll have me to answer to." With this, Judy left.
Molly had no way but to comply.
Ann followed the butterfly to the back gate of the garden.
Five minutes later, a black SUV pulled in.
Ann got in.
"Miss Reed." A woman handed her a black suit.
Ann changed into the suit and asked: "How's it going with Eva Reed?"
"Everything is going down as we planned. She's at HY Club right now, and having...intercourse."
The woman paused a moment before continuing: "We've blocked the doors. One word from you, and she can't get away."
"Let her go."
"But Miss Reed..."
"What I want is the club, not Eva Reed. Do you have the contract with you?" Ann asked.
"Yes, madam."
Ann smiled and handed her a document: "Lily, see if she'll take the bait."
Lily furrowed her brows: "Miss Reed, I can get the Reed family for you in a month, if you want. I don't understand why we're taking such a detour."
"There's no fun if it happens too fast. The point is to take it slow. What I want is not just to deprive them of wealth, I want to make them kneel before me and repent. I want to crush their pride and make their life a living hell. This is not the end; it's just the beginning." Ann said with a smile.
"You're right, Miss Reed. And this is the pill you asked. Everything is going well for now. But I think you'll need to finish the final touch." Saying this, Lily handed her a pill.
The car pulled in at HY Club. Ann went straight into the owner's office.
The owner of the club stared at the cheque handed to him, and swallowed his saliva: "Miss Reed, this is much more than we agreed on."
"Mr Wood, I'll get straight to the point. The extra is for the surveillance tapes of every Reed in this club." Ann said with a dangerous smile.
"Miss Reed, what I'm running is a club, not a..."
Ann cut him off: "Mr Wood, your club has been doing pretty well. Are you really selling it because of the price I offered? I've heard a lot about what's been going on here below the surface. Are you sure you want me to expose it to the public?"
