Chapter 272: I Am Mr. Anderson

The news that Mrs. Anderson gave birth to twins quickly spread through the media.

But people were more curious about why Mr. Anderson had never appeared in the hospital.

For a time, there were all kinds of rumors about Mr. Anderson.

Many media had their own speculation.

The news that Bruce was killed in South Africa and was never been heard hit the headline.

The date for the wedding of Julian and Margaret was set and the situation became stable. But now the stable situation was broken.

Orlenna just got two grandsons. She should be happy. However, she was mad at the rumors about the Anderson Group instead.

She had thought that the marriage between the Anderson family and the Jorgansen family could stabilize the situation.

However, she did not expect that the media began to make wild guesses just because Bruce didn’t appear in the hospital.

The Anderson Group couldn’t get rid of all the rumors and the netizens all focused on the Anderson Group.

Now the Anderson Group was at the center of the dispute and more rumors would come out only because of a slight movement.

Although Mr. Anderson was missing, the Anderson Group could continue to operate normally. But the shareholders, who only focused on the benefits, would soon react because of the rumors.

Although the foundation of the Anderson Group was not hurt now, it was in big trouble.

“How annoying the media are!”

Orlenna was so angry that she almost threw the teacup.

Margaret said, “When Bruce was in charge of the company, they dared not to write such reports. Now he was missing, so they thought that no one could do anything to them. And if we fight against the media now, they will make up more rumors.”

To put it bluntly, the media were clear that the Anderson family could not do anything to them now, so they became unruly and reported whatever they wanted.

And the business and political opponents of the Anderson Group took the chance to fight back in secret.

Even if they could not defeat the Anderson Group, they could still weaken it. Orlenna snorted, “When the situation was better, I will take revenge on them.”

“Is the company in big trouble now?”

Margaret frowned. She was not worried that the Anderson Group would go bankrupt, but if the Anderson family declined, life would be hard for her.

Orlenna was stingy to her. If the Anderson family lost business, Margaret would get much less pocket money.

At the thought that she would get less money, Margaret found it necessary to save money.

“You don’t need to worry about the company. You just need to take good care of Hilla and her children and wait for your wedding. I will be grateful if you don’t cause any trouble for me!”

Hearing this, Margaret was reluctant. “I will take good care of Hilla and her children. But why should I wait to get married? Julian is not an Emperor. Why should I prepare in advance?”

Margaret was unwilling and scornful. She was angry at the thought of marrying.

Margaret was at a suitable age and she would get married sooner or later. So, she didn’t refuse the arranged marriage. But she was just unhappy to marry Julian.

“Don’t worry. An Emperor wouldn’t be silly enough to marry you.”

Orlenna scolded Margaret. Margaret didn’t refuse to get married, but she complained a lot when she was asked to marry Julian.

But the Anderson family needed the support of the Jorgansen family.

They thought that Bruce’s missing would hit the headline, but they didn’t expect that someone would suspect that the children were not Bruce’s.

Some people even suspected that Hilla had an affair and was discovered by Bruce.

So she tried to kill Bruce when he was on a business trip.

Although they were rumors, they were widespread online.

So when Hilla proposed to hold a press conference, Orlenna was worried, “It seems that we are too kind to the media, so they dare report the rumors.”

Orlenna held Hilla’s hand and comforted her gently, “Hilla, don’t worry about what others think of you. I know who you are and the babies are my grandsons. I’m always here with you.”

Hilla had just had a cesarean. She was too weak to walk out of her ward. How could she attend the press conference?

However, Hilla insisted. She held Orlenna’s hand and said seriously, “The Anderson family helped me and offered me a peaceful life when I was homeless. Now the Anderson family needs me. I have to fight for the Anderson family as a family member.

“I don’t do it for the company or for you but for my children and myself. Or I will be homeless again.”

In the past, it was the Anderson family and Bruce who protected her. Now she could also protect the Anderson family for Bruce.

“Okay. I will attend the press conference with you.”

Orlenna and Hilla held each other’s hands tightly.

Margaret and Halle were behind the scenes during the press conference.

Seeing Hilla being questioned by reporters, Margaret was furious, “The reporters are going too far. Hilla has just given birth. How can they treat her like this?”

Hilla had delicate makeup. She sat straight, stared at every reporter who asked questions, and answered the questions seriously.

Her lips were red but her hands behind the desk were pale.

Halle knew the pain after having a cesarean. Hilla’s pale face was covered up by the heavy makeup.

Only Halle knew how Hilla felt.

When Hilla stood up, the reporters all went after her.

“Can you tell me about Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Anderson?”

“Why didn’t Mr. Anderson accompany you when you gave birth? Is it true that the children aren’t his?”

“It is said that Mr. Anderson was killed in South Africa. But the Anderson Group didn’t make any announcement. Is it to stabilize the company?”

“Mrs. Anderson, please say something!”

When all the microphones and spotlights were in front of Hilla, she was dizzy and couldn’t see the people clearly. But she still stood straight.

She trembled because of the pain from her lower abdomen.

However, Hilla kept smiling. She looked sharply around at everyone and said, “I only hope that everyone can congratulate Bruce and me on getting two healthy and cute babies. As for the rest, I’m afraid I’m not at liberty to say.”

…

At the press conference.

The reporters watched Hilla slowly stand up and leave.

Her word “I’m not at liberty to say.” still haunted them.

And her look stunned them.

The reporters never expected Hilla to be so intimidating. When they came to themselves, Hilla was backstage. They wanted to catch up, but were stopped by the bodyguards.

Orlenna, who was still on the stage and was impatient, said indifferently, “Hilla just gave birth. I don’t think you would come after Hilla, who needs to rest now.

“As the person in charge of the Anderson family, I, Bruce’s mother, am more qualified to answer your questions. So you can ask me.”

Orlenna’s words attracted the attention of the reporters.

They rushed towards Orlenna.

Halle, who was backstage, stepped forward and held Hilla with her arms.

When Halle touched Hilla’s wrist, she found that there was cold sweat all over Hilla’s body.

No matter how capable Hilla was, the wound from the cesarean hurt a lot, not to mention that Hilla gave birth to twins. She was very weak now.

“Are you okay, Hilla?”

Margaret was worried. She saw how the reporters treated Hilla.

They just ignored that Hilla had just given birth.

Their questions were sharp and annoying. If she were Hilla, she would hit these reporters.

As soon as Hilla went down the stage, she was no longer intimidating and leaned in Halle’s arms. She said weakly, “Take me home!”

The lower half of her body was already numb from the pain. If not for Halle supporting her, Hilla would have fainted.

Halle looked serious, but she didn’t say anything. She just took Hilla away.

…

In a small apartment in Deep City.

Lori was watching TV and could not help but said, “How can these reporters bully a woman?

“How pitiful Mrs. Anderson is!

“I just started to work for the Anderson Group. And now Mr. Anderson disappeared. I don’t know if he can come back. Will the Anderson Group go bankrupt?

“No wonder that the Anderson Group lowered their recruitment standards. I just thought that I was lucky. But now, I’m afraid that I have to look for another job soon.

“I hope that Mr. Anderson can come back alive. Then I won’t lose my job.”

Although she was only an intern assistant and had worked for the company for a few days, Lori was satisfied with the working environment.

Lori was an orphan and she went to college with other’s funding. Although she had a lot of work experience during college, it was still hard for her to work for the Anderson Group.

If it wasn’t for Rigel’s help, she couldn’t work for the Anderson Group.

Lori looked at the young and beautiful woman on TV. It was said that she had just given birth to twins. But she looked only a few years older than Lori.

Lori sympathized with Hilla, who was bullied by the reporters.

“If I lose my job, then I won’t…”

Lori turned around and saw that the man had sat up. She forgot what she was going to say.

Lori was a little surprised and said, “You wake up.”

Then she felt that there was something wrong.

She saved the man but she did not know where he came from and if he could understand what she said. She saw that the man was watching TV. He looked cold and serious.

Lori thought that he seemed completely different from the man she saved in the woods in South Africa.

In the past, he just closed his eyes and slept. Lori had never felt that he would have such a strong aura.

He just sat on the bed, cold and calm. He did not speak, but the atmosphere in the small room became intense.

Lori uttered some English words.

“I … You… You are… You…”

Lori was not good at English and the man was staring at her. She was so anxious and scared that she forgot how to introduce herself.

On the television, Hilla hurriedly finished speaking and left. Bruce followed her closely.

Although Hilla’s makeup was heavy and delicate, Bruce could see that she was

thinner and pale. Her eyes didn’t shine as before.

Her belly…

Bruce’s eyes darkened. He missed it! He woke up too late!

It was reported on TV that Mrs. Anderson had just given birth to twins.

He had two sons!

Bruce shifted his gaze and looked at Lori, who was anxious.

He said, “You work for the Anderson Group!”

Although Bruce was in a coma these days and he couldn’t remember clearly what had happened, but he remembered everything he had heard.

Lori brought him back from Africa. She saved Bruce.

Lori looked at Bruce. She was nervous and said, “Yes.”

“Who is in charge of the branch? Give me your phone!”

Bruce’s voice haunted in the small room and Lori calmed down.

It turned out that he was not a foreigner. He could understand Lori.

Lori was anxious when she heard that he wanted to find the person in charge of the company. Is it because he heard her words about losing her job and wanted to complain to her manager?

“I saved you and brought you all the way back from South Africa. In order to take you back on the plane of our medical team, Rigel stayed alone in South Africa. How can you tell it to my manager as soon as you wake up?”

If she knew that Bruce would do so, she might leave him on the edge of the forest.

Bruce listened to Lori and frowned impatiently. If it wasn’t because he had just woken up and was too weak, he would have gotten up and left.

He said coldly, “I am Mr. Anderson!”

Lori was shocked. She held the TV remoter more tightly and said in disbelief, “You are Mr. Anderson, who has been missing for a few months?”

So, he was Lori’s boss.

Why did she get her boss home?
