Chapter 534 Her And Her Three Husbands
As soon as Anna got off work in the evening, she noticed Peace’s car in front of the hospital. They then headed to Lemon’s office.
The fashion show was about to begin, so Andrew stayed late at the office with a group of designers. Surprised to see Anna, he asked, “What are you doing here, Anna? Are you here to see if we’re slacking off? “
Anna was too preoccupied with her job, so she rarely came into the office and never attended their Christmas parties. The staff was all terrified to see Anna arrive at such a late hour.
“| bought some snacks for everyone. Come on, take a break. Will you help me share these with everyone?” Anna handed Andrew’s assistant the food she had brought.
“Thank you very much, Mrs. Wright,” said Andrew’s assistant. She had recently graduated from college, so she was ecstatic about everything at work.
“What brings you here, Peace?” Andrew asked, his gaze drawn to Peace behind Anna.
Peace felt awkward when she saw Andrew. She was embarrassed, not because they had dated back in the day, but because Karl was constantly getting her in trouble and making her feel embarrassed.
Anna understood why they were silent. She said, “Peace has something he wants to talk to you about, Andrew. It’s about Daydream.”
Andrew solemnly nodded and said, “Sure. Let’s go to my office.”
Andrew’s office was large, with a massive stacked desk full of design 533 Her And Her Three Husbands

As soon as Anna got off work in the evening, she noticed Peace’s car in front of the hospital. They then headed to Lemon’s office.
The fashion show was about to begin, so Andrew stayed late at the office with a group of designers. Surprised to see Anna, he asked, “What are you doing here, Anna? Are you here to see if we’re slacking off? “

“Thank you very much, Mrs. Wright,” said Andrew’s assistant. She had recently graduated from college, so she was ecstatic about everything at work.
“What brings you here, Peace?” Andrew asked, his gaze drawn to Peace behind Anna.
Peace felt awkward when she saw Andrew. She was embarrassed, not because they had dated back in the day, but because Karl was constantly getting her in trouble and making her feel embarrassed.
Anna understood why they were silent. She said, “Peace has something he wants to talk to you about, Andrew. It’s about Daydream.”
Andrew solemnly nodded and said, “Sure. Let’s go to my office.”
Andrew’s office was large, with a massive stacked desk full of design 533 Her And Her Three Husbands drawings. The table made the rest of the furniture appear small.
“Please take a seat,” Andrew said as he began to pour them tea.
Peace was impatient, so she said right away, “Karl has invested in Beatrice’s company! I’ve heard that this company has been expanding rapidly recently. If your two companies do become competitors, please do your best to outperform them. | couldn’t care less what my husband thinks.”
Anna patted Peace’s shoulder and said, “Okay, Peace, relax. Andrew, do you remember that | asked you to check Beatrice’s background information? What did you find out about her? | thought it was strange when | saw her at Jasper’s wedding. What is she trying to do?”
Anna didn’t believe it was a coincidence. She thought, There must be a reason why Beatrice showed up at Jasper’s wedding! | think that she is declaring war on me. She even pretended to be surprised when she saw Wayne.
Pulling, a file from his drawer, Andrew handed it to Anna. “I’ve actually heard about this woman before. Well, | actually don’t see anything wrong with Karl purchasing a stake in Daydream.”
Peace leaned on Anna’s shoulder as she opened the file. Then she asked in surprise, “She has been married more than once?”
Through the files, they knew that Beatrice was fifteen years old when her family filed for bankruptcy. She was in high school in the United States at the time and was staying at a married couple’s home. Later, the man divorced his wife and married Beatrice. As a result, she was granted a green card.
Two years later, Beatrice divorced him. She then became a real estate agent and married one of her clients. A year later, however, she divorced again. Her second ex-husband gave her a large portion of the money anda 533 Her And Her Three Husbands di small clothing store. That was Beatrice’s first introduction to the fashion industry.
“I’ve heard of this man!” Peace said, pointing to the name of Beatrice’s third husband. She paused for a while, then exclaimed, “Isn’t he a famous director?”
“Beatrice met a famous Fleosil film director on a flight to Chicago after being introduced to the clothing industry, and she quickly became his assistant. Six months later, they got married and later had a son. Almost no one knew she had been married to this director, and | had to go to great lengths to learn the details. She and this director were also not together for long, but she received a fair share of his property after their divorce. Daydream must have meant nothing to her because she was extremely wealthy.” Andrew said.
“In that case, Karl won’t be taking any risks,” Anna said.
Andrew nodded. “That’s right. I’m curious about why Beatrice chose Karl when there were so many people interested in investing in Daydream.”
Anna frowned and began to think about it as well. Beatrice became extremely wealthy after these divorces. So, even if she needed money, she wouldn’t have chosen Karl, an idle rich guy. I’m sure that Beatrice didn’t choose him for his money.
Peace slammed the folder shut and tossed it on the coffee table. She said, “That’s because the two of them had an affair before. Carl didn’t get her before, so he’s been regretting it. | m sure he was the one who offered to cooperate!”
Anna said, shaking her head, “Don’t be ridiculous! Karl isn’t that type of person.”
“Perhaps she did it to get at Lemon. It’s part of her business 533 Her And Her Three Husbands strategy.”
Hearing that, Anna became worried about the situation. “Do you mean she might use Karl against Lemon, Andrew?”
“If he betrays us,” Peace declared, “I’ll divorce him.”
“Stop overthinking! It might not be that complicated. You can have a good talk with Karl when you get home. Don’t forget to tell him to always keep his guard up. I’m not mad at him. But I’m afraid Beatrice will ask him to do something that will harm Lemon later. I’m hoping he’ll be more cautious in the future,” Anna said.
Karl was already in, so convincing him to leave now would be nearly impossible. Anna felt it was best to warn him about the dangers he was about to face first.
Peace was not entirely irrational, so she calmed down after thinking it through. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on him,” she said, nodding. “That woman is smarter than | thought.”
Anna nodded. “By the way, how’s our show going?” she asked Andrew after seeing the drawings on the table. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“Almost done. Actually, there’s something | need to talk to you about. We’re having difficulty finding models. Mona suggested a great idea, but I’m not sure if you’d agree or not.”
“What idea?”
“We’ve designed a lot of clothes for adolescent girls. However, we are having difficulty finding suitable models. Could you please ask Tammy to model for us?”
Anna froze in shock. “Tammy? Can she work as a model?”
“| believe she can. She could outperform many models if she were professionally trained. But I’m worried that you and Wayne won’t like this 533 Her And Her Three Husbands idea.”
Peace said, “| think it’s an excellent opportunity! You think Tammy is a troublemaker, don’t you? You can make Tammy work for you! That way, she’ll know how hard it is to work.”
“Sounds good to me.”
Peace remained concerned after leaving the office. Next to her, Anna asked, “Are you still thinking about it? Didn’t Andrew tell you not to dwell on it too much?”
“Yeah. But Andrew also advised me to keep an eye on Karl.”
“Don’t you realize he’s just joking with you? In fact, Karl doesn’t have to face any risk at all. Even if there is a risk, Beatrice, as the largest shareholder, would bear most of the blame. So you don’t need to worry about it, Peace.”
“But | don’t think Andrew sounded like he was joking right now. So what if Karl did indeed reveal Lemon’s secrets? He’s always been untrustworthy.” With a frown, Peace said.
“No way! | don’t even know Lemon’s secrets, so how could Karl possibly know about them?”
In awe, Peace asked, “You have no idea about that? But | think Andrew sounded serious.”
Anna was speechless, so she decided to send Peace home right away.
She asked, “So? Do you want to ask him about that now? Stop thinking about it! I’ll take you home right now.”
Andrew’s analysis was far too rational and objective. In fact, there was a good chance that Karl would do something to hurt Lemon without even realizing it. He might not only reveal trade secrets, but he might cause Lemon to lose network resources. 533 Her And Her Three Husbands i
Anna knew a smart businessman like Beatrice would definitely let her company benefit from all of Karl’s client resources. Lemon made a lot of efforts to obtain these customer resources. Anna, on the other hand, believed Karl would do nothing. Beatrice was the only one she had to keep an eye on. Peace
was prone to overthinking, so Anna thought it would be best not to tell her the worst-case scenario. After all, Andrew’s words were still a little ambiguous.
When Anna arrived at Peace’s door, she noticed someone standing there. He moved his body from time to time to keep warm. “That’s your husband,” Anna reminded Peace as she pulled over to the side of the road.
Peace rolled her eyes as she saw Karl through the car window. She said, “I’m not going back home. Take me back to your house, please.”
“That won’t be a problem, but | think you should tell him about it.”
“| don’t want to talk to him! Just take me to your place,” Peace said obstinately.
Karl approached the two women while they were talking. Because he was so cold, he walked like a robot.
Anna sighed., “Okay. I’ll go talk to him.”
Then Anna stepped out of the car. She was startled when she realized Karl’s face had turned pale because of the cold. “How long have you been standing here?” she asked, surprised.
“Almost the entire afternoon,” Karl sniffed.
“Where’s your housekeeper? No one is willing to open the door for you?” Anna looked around the house, surprised. Despite what Peace said, Anna was confident their housekeeper would open the door for Karl.
Karl said, shaking his head, “I’m fine. Is my wife here?”
