After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 203

Emma then broke into a triumphant smile.

“You did a background check on me?” I asked.

My anger suddenly surged after hearing her words. Other than that reason, there was no other explanation for why she was so clear about my family matters.

“I merely wanted to know you a bit better. I didn't investigate you on purpose.”

In contrast to my cold gaze, there was no reaction from her. Instead, she was a little happy seeing that I was angry.

It wasn't on purpose? Hah! Who'd believe that?

“What exactly do you want?”

I looked at her coldly as I tried to hold back my anger. In the past, at the very most, I did not like her. However, at that moment, I hated her.

Who the h*ll did she think she is to do a background check on me?

As her expression turned cold, she finally came clean about her purpose. “My plan is simple. I want you to leave Michael. After all, I am his girlfriend, and you... are nothing.”

“And if I don't agree?”

In reality, I had long guessed that she wanted me to leave him. Originally, I did not intend to break their relationship and would obediently go when he asked to end our relationship. However, I was annoyed that she had poked her nose into my private matters. As a result, I decided then that I would not let go of Michael that easily.

“If you agree, I'll give you a huge sum of money so that your entire family won't have any worries in the future. You're a smart woman, Ms. Garcia. I think you know how to decide.”

Her expression was not one of anger. She held a blank check in her hand, then handed it to me. As usual, her gaze was still full of contempt.

I looked at the blank check in her hands. It was indeed a very attractive offer. Moreover, I was short on money right then. If I took it and casually asked for a few million, it probably would not be a problem for her. In addition, I would not need to work so hard in the future.

However, I was not that cheap. Although I liked money and knew its importance, I was annoyed by her disrespect toward me.

Therefore, with a cold expression, I took the blank check over.

Most likely thinking that I had accepted her condition, she smiled triumphantly. However, my next move had her dumbfounded.

Without hesitation, I tore it up and threw it out of the car.

“Anna, what do you mean by this!”

Her beautiful face was distorted in anger as her gaze filled with fury.

“Don't you understand what I mean? If you don't, I'll tell you bluntly. I don't care about your stupid money!”

Here she was, thinking to use the money to make me leave Michael and forget the fact that she had investigated me. However, I had always been someone who held grudges, so I would never forget how she humiliated me today.

She replied, “Don't you need money? I heard that you're short of funds right now, so you can stop pretending.”

She was furious on the inside but was still pretending to be calm on the surface. I had to give it to her, though—her acting skills were top-notch.

“Hah! Why do I need to do that? Do you think I'll care for your stupid money? Anyway, aren't you very clear about my relationship with Michael? Isn't he much richer than you? If I want money, he'll give me much more than you'll ever give!”

She merely wanted to show off her superiority and that she was richer than me. Not only that, but I knew she also wanted to tell me that we were on totally different levels.

“You!”

However, she could not say anything else to refute me and merely glared at me with a furious gaze. She looked as though she wanted to tear me apart right then and there.

“Don't make me force you, Anna. Do you think I'll worry just because you brought Michael up? Don't forget. To Michael, you're just an embarrassment. Do you think you can beat me?”

She looked at me in disdain, making no secret of the irony and contempt in her tone. It turned out that she had already thoroughly investigated the relationship between Michael and me.

What she said really made me feel a little uncomfortable. Despite that, I did not show it in front of her.

“Since you think I'm no match for you, why'd you look for me again and again? Was it because you think that I'm a threat to you? And you're worried?”
