Chapter 135 Preparing To Brainwash Annalise Barton,

It was noon. When Annalise Barton rushed to Room Number 1888 of the Duke Horington Mansion, Kent Barton was already there. Seeing that Annalise came alone, Kent was very pleased. He felt that Annalise was still quite sensible.

Thinking of his next goal, he immediately greeted Annalise with a smile. “Anna, you’re here. Have a seat, have a seat quickly!” He personally pulled out a chair from the dining table and poured a cup of tea for Annalise before pressing the service bell.

The waiter immediately came over. Kent instructed, “My niece is here. You can serve the dishes now.” He knew that Annalise lacked love in her heart. He had to play the family card well, so he kept talking about his niece.

“Uncle Kent, you can talk about my father now,” Annalise said. “Anna, this matter is rather complicated. Let’s talk while we eat. You’ve grown up now. Uncle won’t hide it from you I will tell you everything I know,” said Kent.

“Thank you!” Annalise thanked him. She was grateful that he could tell her about her father, but the shares were a separate issue. It was impossible to use this secret in exchange for her shares!

Annalise did want to know about her father, but this was not a bargaining chip. If Uncle Kent was willing to tell, he could tell. If he were unwilling to tell, she would not use anything in exchange for the information. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Silly girl. I’m your biological uncle. You don’t have to be polite with your uncle.” Kent was still smiling widely. There was also fatherly love in his smile, just like an uncle who doted on his niece.

Annalise thought to herself that if Kent had been pretending since the beginning when he brought her to live with the Barton family, she might really have believed him. However, it was useless now, no matter how well he pretended.

The waiter began to serve the dishes. Kent personally pushed all of Annalise’s favorite dishes to her and said with a smile, “Come, Anna. Eat while it’s hot. It’s autumn now, and the weather will turn cold quickly. It’ll rain in two days, and the temperature will drop by ten degrees.”

“Okay.” Annalise picked up her chopsticks and started eating. “Anna, did you and Julian arrive in the morning? Or did you arrive last night?” Kent did not mention anything about Annalise’s father.

“I arrived last night, Uncle Kent. You can tell me about my biological father now,” Annalise said. Kent forced a smile and picked up some food for Annalise. He said, “Your mother was 25 years old when she gave birth to you. It’s the most suitable age. Unfortunately, she and your father weren’t married.”

Annalise was initially very disgusted by the fact that Kent was putting food in her bowl. However, now that Kent was talking about serious matters, she could not care less about Kent. She asked, “What do you mean by not married? Are the two of them unmarried or does my biological father have a family?” She actually had many questions. The Barton family did not have any ancestral business and was considered a very ordinary family. How did her mother establish the Moonlight Group? What kind of emotional entanglement did her biological father have with her mother? Why weren’t they together?

Did her mother choose to leave her father and give birth to her alone, or was she betrayed by her father? Did her father know about Annalise’s existence? Unfortunately, that was many years ago, and she could not find any clues.

Kent said, “I don’t know who your father is. I only remember that your mother suddenly came back pregnant and said that she wanted to take me to start a business. Anna, don’t just talk. Hurry up and

eat. The dishes are getting cold.” “Okay.” Annalise replied. Kent said with concern, “Eat more. You’ve lost weight.”

He wanted to pick up some food for Annalise again, but when he sensed that Annalise felt a little disgusted by his act, he retracted his chopsticks. He cursed and swore in his heart. She was just a bumpkin who grew up in the countryside. She was lucky enough to marry Julian Parks. Now, she was acting like a princess.

Come to think of it, it was rather amazing. Heather Barton had suddenly become rich after being away for a few years. Now, Annalise suddenly married a rich man. Indeed, women led a much, much easier life than men.

If a man wanted to accomplish any achievement in his career, it would be difficult for him to make a name for himself if his parents did not have a financial foundation or connections with influential people. Women were different. As long as they had good-looking faces, they could find a rich man to marry and soar into the sky. “Please continue,” Annalise said.

Kent continued, “I was very shocked at that time. Your mother took out 450 thousand seed capital to set up the company. At that time, it was not called a corporation. It was called ‘Horington Moonlight Industrial Limited Company. Your mother was pregnant, and it was inconvenient, so I was the one who did the registration and administrative procedures.

“After we set up the company, I was afraid that your mother would be tired, so I told her to rest while I managed the business. We started out in the pharmaceutical business… Anna, don’t just listen. Eat your food.”

“Okay,” Annalise replied. She guessed that it was probably true that her mother had brought money back to start a business. As for Kent running the business, she did not believe it.

With Kent Barton’s self-seeking, profit-driven nature, if he was really the one running the business, he would have asked for shares long ago. Why would her mother make the decisions alone? However, Annalise did not expose him. In any case, she would listen first.

Kent continued, “Back then, your mother had a friend in the traditional medicine hospital who happened to have some status. He was in charge of purchasing, and our business slowly expanded. Later, we also established our own pharmaceutical factory. After we grew bigger step by step, we changed into a corporation.

“After you were born, you looked especially obedient and cute. I’ve also asked your mother who your father is.” Kent paused. Annalise asked, “What did my mother say?” Kent urged Annalise to eat again. “Okay,” Annalise said.

A glint flashed across Kent’s eyes, and he started to make up stories. “She told me not to ask at first. When she saw that I was genuinely concerned about her, she told me that she was duped and betrayed.” Annalise subconsciously narrowed her eyes.

Mom was duped and betrayed? Initially, that was what she thought. She felt that if a woman left a man with a big belly, she was most likely duped and betrayed. However, now that Kent said this, she didn’t believe it anymore. Instead, she wondered if there was some other unknown factor. “What happened next?” Annalise asked.

Kent sighed and said, “Your mother told me that that man loved her very much at first and treated her especially well. He protected her in various ways and gave her all kinds of pleasant surprises to create romance. That man was also very noble and handsome. It could be said that he had no flaws. Your mother threw herself into that romantic relationship like a moth attracted to a flame…”

He deliberately made Heather Barton’s situation out to be as similar as possible to Annalise’s current situation so that he could pave the way for himself to brainwash Annalise later.

“Sigh…” He let out another long sigh and said, “I didn’t expect that he still let your mother down in the end. Your mother was so desperate back then. She was pregnant, but she couldn’t bear to abort you. After all, you were already five months old in your mother’s tummy when she was betrayed.” Kent didn’t believe Annalise wouldn’t feel anything when he made that man out to be such a scumbag and Heather Barton to be such a pitiful victim.
