Chapter 863 The straw that broke her back
After the bedside lamp was off, and Mavis wasn't sleepy.
The desire to vent was overwhelmed.
She actually had a lot to say.
In the dark room, there was the least need for scruples, and people can infinitely tolerate the emotions
released by others.
"Rebecca, in fact, some time ago, Anthony was seriously injured in Mofleunia, and he was missing for
a while."
"What?! Missing?! What happened?"
Rebecca was shocked, because she didn't know about it at all.
If the enemies of the Callahan family knew that Anthony was missing, it would cause a lot of trouble.
She sat up directly from the bed, turned on the bedside lamp, and signaled Mavis to continue talking.
"He went to Mofleunia to deal with the matter of starting a new company. I wanted to give him a
surprise. Unexpectedly, he had an accident and was rescued by a girl, but..."
Mavis paused, then continued, "That girl looks a bit like Lyra."
Her voice trembled.
To tell the truth, she was afraid of that girl's existence.
These days, she often had the same dream.
It was the girl from the fishing village who suddenly appeared beside Anthony. Anthony chose to be
with her and broke off the engagement with her because of that girl.
She knew that in Anthony's position in power, he could marry any girl he liked.
Just because she was not the girl he liked, anyone can take her place.
Now, Rebecca finally knew the real reason for the conflict between the two of them.
No wonder.
However, Rebecca didn't pay attention to the fishing village girl Mavis mentioned at all.
She stretched out her hand and patted Mavis on the shoulder, reassuring, "Don't put so much pressure
on yourself. It is not so easy to enter our family, and I only recognize you as my sister-in-law."
"Mavis, my brother is not the kind of swinger. He meets all kinds of people outside, and there will be all
kinds of women who want to be with him, but you have to trust him a little more. You know what I
mean, right?"
She wanted to tell Mavis that with Anthony's status, there will never be fewer women around him, and
men will rarely not be tempted by them.
But the daughter-in-law of Callahan family cannot be changed.
"There are many people in this world who look similar, but they are not the one in their heart. My
brother must understand this truth, so you just need to be yourself."
Mavis recalled her words. A smile finally appeared on her face. She covered Rebecca with a quilt,
"Well, I see. Let's go to sleep."
When Mavis went to the company the next day, she was so radiant that even Zack found it strange.
Could it be that Anthony and his wife have reconciled?
However, such a thought stayed in Zack's mind for a moment, and he didn't dare to ask.
The intercom phone rang and Mavis answered.
"Mr. Callahan, what are your orders?"
"Bring in a cup of coffee."
After hanging up the phone, Mavis immediately made a cup of coffee according to his request and sent
it to the office.
Today, she was still wearing work clothes, but she was wearing a turquoise sweater under it.
Anthony's expression changed slightly when he saw what she was wearing today.
With a bang, the coffee cup accidentally fell on the table, and the coffee inside spilled out, soaking the
documents next to it.
Mavis didn't know why he reacted so strongly all of a sudden, so she quickly pulled out a tissue and
stepped forward to wipe the spilled coffee.
Most of the newly printed contract documents were soaked in coffee, and Mavis made a gesture to pick
up the documents and go out.
These were all important documents and there cannot be any mistakes.
But when she turned around, the man behind grabbed her wrist and said coldly, "Who asked you to
wear this color of clothes?"
Mavis paused, then turned to look at him feeling puzzled.
What was the meaning?
Can't she wear clothes of this color?
Seeing that she was silent, Anthony was almost furious, stepped forward and grabbed Mavis' neck,
and asked, "Who allowed you to wear clothes of this color?"
Lyra liked green clothes the most. When she was a child, he always saw her in this color.
Over time, he had become accustomed to associating green with Lyra, his childhood sweetheart of
more than ten years.
So Callahan Group had an unwritten rule that all female employees were not allowed to wear green
clothes.
Because of the special color, the employees all thought that the president had suffered some kind of
emotional injury. Maybe the president was dumped by a woman, and cuckolded, so they didn't dare to
ask more questions and could only obediently implement it.
Mavis joined the company late, so naturally she didn't know this rule.
He pinches her with great strength.
Mavis felt slowly out of breath.
She slapped the back of Anthony's hand hard, trying to get him to let go.
But at this moment Anthony was like a raging lion, with his eyes glaring.
The suffocation in her throat made Mavis feel that death was waving at her, and she closed her eyes
weakly, no longer resisting.
Seeing her flushed cheeks, Anthony let go of his hand abruptly, trembling uncontrollably.
After a while, he regained his usual calmness, "You are not allowed to wear clothes of this color in the
future."
After finally being able to breathe fresh air, Mavis panted heavily and coughed for a while. And the
feeling of suffocation was too unbearable.
There was a circle of pinch marks on her fair neck, and the circles of her eyes were slightly red.
Originally, she tried to understand him because of Rebecca's words.
But she found she was wrong.
Anthony was like a block of ice, and she can't melt it.
She stood up staggeringly, and asked with her red eyes, "Why can't I wear it? Why can't others do what
you don't allow others to do? Why do you pick on me every time? I have tolerated you enough!"
If not for loving him, why should she suffer this? Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Now even wearing clothes had to be constrained by him.
"Tolerate?"
Ah.
Anthony sneered.
"Which point is not wrong with you? Do you still need me to tell you?"
His voice was cold, which made Mavis feel even colder.
There was a severe tearing sensation in the heart, and the pain spread to all her limbs. Mavis couldn't
help covering her chest with her hands. She wanted to stand up, but she couldn't use any strength at
all.
She looked up at Anthony, but saw that he was still extremely indifferent.
He was such a man whom had been deeply loved by her and had been pursuing for five years.
Mavis suddenly felt that her love was a little ridiculous.
She forcefully raised her arm, supported the corner of the table, and said coldly, "Anthony, you
succeeded. You have already started to make me hate you."
With red eyes, she slammed the door and left the suffocating office.
With a bang, she slammed the door loudly.
Attracting all the people on this floor to look over, Mavis covered her face and trotted back to her table.
The turquoise sweater fell off while running, and Mavis didn't bother to pick it up.
During this period of time, she was too tired. She was tense all the time, and she didn't dare to let
others see her strangeness.
But the last straw that broke her back was Anthony.
