Dear 10
Anika clicked on the news alert,and the first news that popped into her sight was the press conference held by the Conan Group. It announced that Joshua had successfully acquired the Carey Group. From now on, the Carey Group no longer existed in this world.
The news displayed a picture of Joshua.
His profile was attractive, and he looked spirited.
There were many comments below the picture.
"Joshua is so hot! He's young, but he's already the president of a large group."
"It's a pity he's married. His wife is Ms.Carey,right?"
"Their marriage is just business!Don't you remember the news three years ago?When the got married, Joshua left the bride behind..."
There were many comments like that.
The internet never forgets.
Anika had almost forgotten about Joshua's storming off and leaving her behind three
years ago.
She scrolled through the comments.
In these three years, she had known that the Carey Group would fall.
Still, she was surprised.
Because she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Joshua's life seemed to be partially smooth lately.

Valentin smiled and said, "Three years ago, the Carey family tricked you into marrying that
girl, and now they finally get what they deserve."
Then he changed the subject and asked Joshua, who was working, Joshua,has she come
to beg you these days?"Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Joshua's hand holding the pen paused.
For some reason, people around him kept mentioning Anika these days.
Why couldn't he get rid of her even though they were getting a divorce? "No."
Joshua replied briefly and coldly.
Valentin was surprised. With what was happening to the Carey family, how did Anika
manage to stay calm?
Valentin said, "Did she really come around?
"I hear that Mireya and Eli are looking for her everywhere, but no one knows where she's
hiding."
Valentin kept chattering.
Joshua frowned and became irritable.
"Get out!"
Valentin was stupefied for a moment.
Finally, he realized that Joshua was angry, so he quickly left the office without the courage to make a sound After Valentin left, Joshua involuntarily picked up his phone. There were still no messages or calls from Anika!
She didn't reach out to him.
Outside the office, Valentin was worried. As a normal man, he noticed that something was
off about Joshua.
was mentioned.
Valentin made a call to his assistant, Jaxon Brody."Have
"Yes,she's at an inn in Westriver."
you found Anika?"
Valentin asked Jaxon to send him the address and drove there himself.
Because of Anika, Joshua and Violet were apart for three years. Even though she finally.
agreed to a divorce, she shouldn't get away with it so easily.
It was drizzling outside.
After finishing her work as a volunteer, Anika went to the hospital to pick up her medication and then walked toward the hotel, holding an umbrella There were few pedestrians on the road. Valentin was driving when he spotted Anika's thin figure.
What a coincidence. He intentionally sped up past Anika.
Water splashed all over her.
Anika looked over with dull eyes.
Valentin met her gaze in the rearview mirror and felt a chill down his spine for some
reason.
Anika recognized Valentin's car, an extravagant dark gray Bugatti..
She silently averted her gaze, pretending not to have seen him.
However, Valentin hadn't done with her yet. He slowed down, following her closely."Hey,when
did you grow a temper? Are you not going to greet me anymore?
"Did you forget how you tried to please me like a puppy in the past?"
Anika listened to his insults without any emotional fluctuations.
She had tried her best to get along with all the people around Joshua,including his friend, Valentin.
Back then, she didn't know how much Valentin hated her,so she was nice to him.
She thought Joshua's family and friends would accept her sooner or later.
It turned out that she had been too naive.
At a party, Valentin bluntly told Anika that he was Violet's friend.
To help Violet,he didn't care about his image as a young gentleman from an upper-class
family and called her a shameless bitch
What was worse, he threw her into the pool, leaving her there to die.
Since then, Anika had avoided him.
Receiving no response from Anika, Valentin pulled over,got out of the car, and walked up to
her. He grabbed her arm hard.
With a serious face, he said, "What scheme are you trying to pull this time?"
Anika's arm hurt, and she looked up at him."I don't know what you're talking about."
She tried to break free, but Valentin let go and pushed her away.
"Don't touch me with your dirty hands!"
Anika stumbled back and fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Valentin stood there, somewhat incredulous.
When did this girl learn how to stage an accident?
He'd only given her a gentle push. How the hell did she fall?
Some people around looked over, and Valentin felt embarrassed and got back in his
car.Before leaving, he warned her.
"Anika,don't think that just because you're disabled, you can bully Valentin. She's not like you. She's finally come this far, so you'd better not get between her and Joshua."
After driving away, he informed the Carey family of Anika's current location.
Anika scraped her hands and knees when she landed on the ground. She was in so much
pain that she couldn't get up.
She didn't understand why Valentin couldn't distinguish right from wrong.
She still remembered she'd risked her life to pull him out of a car that was about to
explode four years ago.
His body and face were covered in blood, and he couldn't see anything. Still he said
gently, Thank you.I will repay you."
Was this his way of repaying her?
Anika never expected any repayment from him, but she didn't expect him to hurt her.
Some passersby helped Anika up.
"Who was that?Do you want us to call the police?"
Anika's ears were buzzing, and she couldn't hear what they were saying.
She thought they were asking if she needed to go to the hospital, so she shook her head.
"No, I'm fine. I'm fine. Thank you."
She bowed to them deeply and limped away
The passersby watched her leave and felt sorry for her.
Even if Anika had heard what they asked, she would have declined.
Because the Arellano family was no less influential than the Conan family. Their medical
industry covered the whole world.
If Valentin hadn't enjoyed working for Joshua so much and had no interest in medicine,he
could have taken over their family business long ago.
Anika couldn't afford to offend someone like him.
After returning to the hotel,Anika took a shower and applied medication to her injuries.
Anika lay down in a daze.
After today's fall,she became more determined to leave Joshua.
She woke up the next day.
It was already dawn.
When Anika got up and walked to the living room, she saw Mireya sitting on the sofa
"You finally got up. You're really a hard girl to find."
Mireya's tone dripped sarcasm, and the glint in Anika's eyes disappeared.
"Mom..."
Mireya looked at Anika's ghastly pale face but showed no concern.
She walked up to Anika and gave Anika a hard slap on the right cheek.
