''Tell me, why does bad luck always follow anytime I meet with them? There is never a good day for me since the day I met with them. I am always trying my best to stay away from them but they just won't leave me alone''
''Are you talking about my family?'' Lin Shen walked over and asked.
Ana stopped crying and turned to look at him. She hadn't seen him earlier on. When she saw him, a sudden wave of anger rose within her. Without thinking twice, Ana turned around and her eyes landed on a half-filled coffee cup on the next table. She picked it up and was about to throw the content at him but Lin Shen seemed to have seen through her act and held her hand.
''After insulting my family, you now want to ruin my outfit with coffee? I didn't know Miss Lee was such an unruly woman?''
Ana chuckled and placed the cup down. When Lin Shen lowered his guard, she lifted her hand and slapped him.
Ana's body shook as she asked after slapping Lin Shen. ''What about me? What about me? You and your entire family ruined my life and as if that wasn't enough, you just ruined my career. A career I spent my whole life creating. Just because of you and your brother, I was kicked aside like I am nothing''
''What nonsense are you talking about?''
''Good going, Yu Lin Shen. Good going. You are going to act like you don't know what I'm talking about, right? Let me say this, Yu Lin Shen, I hate you. I hate you and your entire family. If any of you come close to me, I will kill you'' Ana said and turned, walking out of the café. She got into her car and sped off.
''Ana…'' Jessy stopped at the door when she saw the car speeding off. She turned and looked at Lin Shen.
''What? Are you also going to blame me? I don't even know what she is talking about''
''Yu Lin Shen, all this time you've been blaming Ana for betraying your brother and cancelling the engagement right?''
''Isn't that the truth?''
''Whether it is the truth or not. It is not in my place to say but I will just say this. You are only looking at everything from your side and what you heard. Go back and ask your brother well. Ask him if Ana was really the one who called the shots in the cancellation of the marriage. You owe Ana an apology'' Jessy said and walked to the counter.
''What do you mean?''
''I am not saying more than this. Go and ask Yu Shiao the rest. Also, I hope I don't see you in my café again''
Lin Shen looked at Jessy and walked out of the café. He got into his car and drove away.

Yu Entertainment Agency.
CEO's Office.
''So, where is Ana now? I get it. Thanks for informing me'' Shiao hung up and picked his tablet from the side. He went into his email and looked at the photos that were sent to him. These were the same photos that Andrew showed to Ana at the office.
The door opened and Lin Shen walked in and asked, ''elder brother, do you know what happened to Ana?''
Shiao looked at Lin Shen and asked, ''did you speak with Ana?''
''I met her by chance and she said our family ruined her life and career. What did she mean by that?''
''This is what happened'' Shiao turned the tablet, showing Lin Shen the picture of Ana bumping into him at the zoo.
''This… this was an accident''
''You said you were attacked by a crazy puppy when I asked you''
''I said that because I didn't want you misunderstanding our relationship. But what has this got to do with her family?''
''Ana was sacked from the company this morning because of this photo but I suspect a foul play somewhere. Ana was in line for the position of the Director in the company. Of course the Lee family wouldn't give such a position to an illegitimate daughter while their son is there. They just play, used and dumped her''
''What? How did you know about this?''
''Why are you looking at me as if I did something wrong?''
''Shiao, I heard something today. Someone asked me to find out if Ana is really responsible for calling off the engagement''
''You only call my name when it's something serious. Did Ana tell you that?''
''She hates me. Her friend Jessy told me that''
''Lin Shen, I told you to stay out of my and Ana's matter. I don't want to talk about it''
''You don't want to talk about it?'' Lin Shen looked at him and asked, ''I am really doubting everything you said before, elder brother''
''Lin Shen, about my affairs with Ana. I already told you to stay away. Also, don't you think finding out who did this is more important? This person obviously wants to make it look as if our family is bullying Ana''
''I will find out who did this myself''
''There is no need for that. I know who did it already. I just want you to have a chat with her since she did it because of you''
''What?'' Lin Shen let out a sarcastic chuckle.
''Daisy He. She is the one behind these photos. I believe it is because of you, if I am not wrong. If you want to clear your name, you should meet with her first. As for the rest, I will handle them''
Lin Shen looked at Shiao and turned, leaving the office. Shiao let out a deep breath of relief. Lin Shen could be stubborn when it comes to finding out the truth of matters.
The truth of his breakup with Ana was something he wanted to protect for the rest of his life.
''Nobody can find out the truth, this is for the best for you especially, Ana'' Shiao muttered.
