Chapter 468

“Mr. Shaw,” I greeted indifferently without a hint of emotion in my tone.

No one is a saint. I believe no woman could treat him as a family after all he had done.

Lincoln did not beat the bush but asked directly, “Ms. Garcia, do you have time? Can I talk to you?”

“Sure,” I answered.

In actuality, I had guessed what he wanted to say. Moreover, I wanted to speak to him and reveal mystance. Otherwise, I felt that he would not give up.

Lincoln did not ask to meet outside this time. Instead, I was to meet him at the Shaw residence. Theplace felt familiar yet somehow alien to me.

In actuality, I did not wish to go there at all. However, when I thought about Amaury living there, I couldnot resist wanting to see him. Therefore, I agreed to meet Lincoln there.

Half an hour later, I drove the car to the Shaw residence. Lincoln might have instructed the securitybeforehand, so they did not stop me but let my car enter straightaway.

Lincoln was already sitting in the living room when I walked in. He had a stern expression on.

“Mr. Shaw,” I greeted him flatly and took a seat opposite him. I was no longer the same woman aswhen I lived here. Therefore, I would never be intimidated by anyone.

“You're here.” Lincoln glanced at me impassively and spoke in an emotionless tone.

Seeing that he was not going to continue, I took the initiative to break the silence. Therefore, I lookedsquarely at him and asked, “Mr. Shaw, you said you have something to tell me. What is it?”

Lincoln's gaze landed on my face. He looked straight into my eyes and asked solemnly, “I know thematter between you and Michael. Are both of you together again?”

“Yes, we have reconciled.” I met his gaze calmly. There was nothing to hide. It was pointless hiding myrelationship with Michael from him.

Lincoln was surprised that I answered him without hesitation, causing his expression to grow sterner.

“Anna, you know how I feel about this. Previously, I thought both of you would break up permanently. Idid not expect both of you to come together again within such a short time,” Lincoln said with a tightfrown. Complex thoughts warred in his eyes as he looked at me.“Mr. Shaw,” I greeted indifferently without a hint of emotion in my tone.

Within a few days of my return to this country, Lincoln had asked to meet. At the time, an awkwardmood hung between us. He had wanted to meet me to replace out my stance.

“At the time, I did not know you were the sole mastermind behind our divorce and that Michael knewnothing about it. If I had known, I would not have left him. I firmly believe that Michael and I could haveremained together and found happiness,” I replied.

I still bore hatred for Lincoln whenever I thought he arranged for Michael and me to divorce. He hadcaused a year of severe misunderstanding between Michael and me. I would not have been able toremain as calm as I was if he wasn't Michael's father.

Lincoln was stunned upon hearing me. It turned out he did not know I found out about the matter.However, despite knowing that I had discovered his deception, there was not a hint of remorse on hisface. Instead, his gaze turned even colder than before.

“You're right. I did cause you and Michael to divorce a year ago. I can never allow you and Michael toremain together no matter what. Josephine is still bedridden in the hospital. How can I let a person whoharmed my wife remain in the Shaw family?” Lincoln glared at me even more ferociously when hementioned Josephine.

“I can understand your hatred for me over that matter. However, how can you carry out such adespicable plan against me? I admit I was the one who caused Mrs. Shaw to be in her currentcondition, but it was unintentional. Yet, your hatred for me ruined my family's lives. Don't you feel anyguilt for your actions?” I scolded.

I had no idea how much Lincoln cared for Josephine that he would treat me with such cruelty. After all,he had hurt not only me but Amaury and Michael. The latter two were his son and grandson!

“I didn't invite you here to argue who is right. You must have guessed what I wanted to say. After all,you are an intelligent person.” Lincoln did not intend to continue from what I said. He glanced at meimpassively, but I felt a sense of threat.

I met his gaze. Naturally, I knew why he wanted to see me today. It was to get me to stay away fromMichael. I wouldn't have come here if I didn't know what he was thinking.

“I know what you want to say, and I can provide you with an answer now. No matter what you say, I willnever break up with Michael. If you insist on separating us, you will lose your son and grandson!” I

warned him.

Previously, I would never dare to threaten Lincoln with such words. However, he was an unusuallystubborn man. If I did not speak to him firmly, I believe he would continue to try to separate Michael andme.

Today, Michael promised me that we would stay together no matter what happened. We would neverallow anything to separate us from each other again. I also promised him the same. Therefore, Ineeded to fulfill my vow and never leave him.

“Are you telling me that you won't stay away from Michael? Are you determined to be with him?”Lincoln's expression darkened, and he was burning with fury. Even his tone sounded threatening.

“Yes, it does not matter what you say or do. Nothing will change my mind. Mr. Shaw, if you don't wantto ruin your relationship with Michael, don't stop us from being together. Otherwise, you will lose him,” Isaid.

Today, Michael's attitude convinced me that even if his relationship with Lincoln turned sour, he wouldinsist on remaining with me. That was also why I dared to speak so boldly with Lincoln.

Lincoln stood up from fury immediately after I had spoken. He glared at me with eyes blazing with rage.“Anna, how dare you threaten me? Do you think Michael would abandon me, his father, for someonelike you? Don't you think you have overestimated your importance to him?”

“That is only your assumption, but it is false in reality. Have you forgotten Amaury? As Amaury's father,do you think Michael wishes to see his child motherless?” I replied.
