The Amazing Strike Back: Mommy Wants To Revenge!-Chapter 369: What a Miserable Man

Anna Thornton wasn’t even driving, why should she go to the station with these two men for a lecture?

However, the traffic police’s reason was that she knew they were drunk driving and didn’t stop them.

Anna: "..."

She wanted to stop them, but did she have the chance?

If she had even a little chance, Anna would have jumped out of the car and run far away from them.

Finn Grant was already crazy enough, but when Conrad Sterling went crazy, it was even scarier!

What on earth had Anna done in a past life to meet both of them at the same time...?

"Officer, given their status, do you think I could have stopped them if I wanted to?" Anna asked.

Undeniably, she had a point.

But the traffic officer wasn’t going to let her go just because she was a helpless beauty.

After all, the cop was nervous too!

If he let Anna go, how would he face the two big shots, Conrad Sterling and Finn Grant, alone?

He had handled several cases of rich kids drunk driving and speeding at night before, and they were never easy.

Especially when dealing with these two?

However, since being brought to the station, Conrad Sterling and Finn Grant hadn’t said or done much.

Especially Finn Grant, who had directly fallen asleep on the sofa.

Probably the speeding had spun him out.

As for President Sterling, Conrad Sterling had been cold-faced ever since he was brought to the station.

The officer didn’t dare say anything harsh in front of him, leaving Anna as the only target for their education.

"Do you know how dangerous drunk driving is?"

"Many traffic accidents over the years have been caused by delays in intervention from people like you."

"Careless driving brings tears to your loved ones!"

Anna: "..."

What had she done wrong? Filming during the day was exhausting enough, and now she had to listen to this?

Anna turned to Conrad Sterling, trying to divert the traffic officer’s attention: "Conrad, say something, how long are you planning to stay here?"

"It’s my birthday today!"

Anna: "???"

"And you wouldn’t even celebrate with me!" President Sterling lamented.

"..."

She recalled that Conrad Sterling was supposed to be a heavy drinker.

Why was it that after the alcohol test, he seemed possessed?

Being brought to the station, he didn’t even call Ethan to come over to handle things so they could go home earlier.

He just kept harping on that one phrase, over and over. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Anna couldn’t help but reach out to wave in front of Conrad Sterling, testing whether his soul had returned.

But her hand was caught by Conrad, pressed onto his leg.

President Sterling glanced at his watch; the time was past midnight: "You missed my birthday to have dinner with another man!"

Anna: "..."

What was so great about birthdays anyway? For him to keep complaining like this.

After reaching adulthood, everyone was busy with life, how many people still took birthdays seriously?

Anna remembered she didn’t even celebrate hers last year because she was too busy filming.

The only comfort was receiving a birthday card made by Mary and Pop together.

But did Conrad have to be like this?

The crux was that after he repeated it several times, even the traffic officer eyed Anna with blame: "You’re definitely in the wrong here!"

Anna: "???"

This is absurd!

Conrad Sterling is playing the victim here! Can anyone stop him?

Furthermore, Anna never agreed to come back to celebrate his birthday dinner!

Their relationship was still at a freezing point; Anna hadn’t gotten to the bottom of the Thornton Family incident back then, on what grounds should she celebrate his birthday?

Just because he gets upset and drives into other people?

...

Finn Grant finally woke up!

After some discussion, their punishment was decided, not enough to simply deduct points for such a severe drunk driving and speeding incident, so each was fined two thousand, and their licenses were revoked.

Regarding compensation, both had a certain degree of loss. Actually, Conrad Sterling’s loss was greater than Finn Grant’s because his car was more expensive, but Finn Grant graciously decided not to pursue it.

Having tossed around for half the night, he had slept enough.

After waking up, Finn Grant squeezed next to Anna to sit, Anna eyed him sideways: "Young Master Grant, did you sleep comfortably here?"

"Yes, I almost don’t want to go home." Finn Grant yawned, expressing, "After all, with you here, even the air is sweet!"

Anna: "..." It starts again, doesn’t it?

"People can’t live without oxygen, but I can. Do you know why?" Finn Grant continued to ask Anna.

"Why?"

"Because I’ve got you, you little rascal!"

"Pfft..."

Anna Thornton didn’t want to laugh, clearly upset this evening.

But she couldn’t hold it in, and goosebumps covered her skin.

How many awkward and cringe-worthy jokes has Finn Grant been reading recently?

And he’s so proud, raising his eyebrows at Conrad Sterling over Anna Thornoton’s head: "Don’t you understand what we’re talking about?"

"..." As an old-timer who’s still on 2G internet, Conrad Sterling really didn’t comprehend the point of Finn Grant’s illogical words.

What an idiot!

"This is called ’cheesy pick-up lines,’ very popular among us young people recently. Forget it, you won’t get it even if I explain!" Finn Grant was rather smug about it.

He knows such illogical words make him sound like a fool, but it perfectly hits Anna Thornton’s funny bone.

As long as it makes her happy, he’s happy to say them.

Faced with Conrad Sterling’s disdainful look, Finn Grant didn’t mind.

In any case, after falling for Anna Thornton, Finn Grant realized that his true nature is that of a lovesick fool.

Not wanting to bicker with him, Conrad Sterling stood up coldly, straightened his suit, buttoned his shirt to the very top button, and finally returned to his elegant and imposing persona, unlike the nagging chatterbox before.

"Is it done?" Conrad Sterling asked.

Though he was the one getting punished, the traffic cop suddenly felt like a subordinate in the face of his imposing aura, nodding nervously: "Yes, President Sterling, it’s all sorted."

Conrad Sterling swiftly paid the fine, with Finn Grant following suit.

The suspension of their driver’s licenses was quite nerve-wracking for the traffic cop.

There were rumors that Young Master Grant had a bad temper, so the cop was jittery fearing he might lash out unexpectedly.

But Finn Grant seemed to be in a great mood tonight. The fine was a small matter for him. As for the license... seeing Conrad get caught was enough to make him happy!

Not just happy, but absolutely thrilled!

To the older generation, Conrad Sterling seemed terrifyingly self-disciplined, like a money-making machine without feelings.

Such a person appears invincible, with even the elders of the Grant Family reminding Finn repeatedly to be careful around Conrad, and to avoid offending him.

But Finn Grant refuses to buy into this nonsense!

Why should the old man, who had been through wars and trials, have such little confidence in his grandson?

To Finn Grant, Conrad Sterling was a formidable opponent, but not someone to fear.

See, wasn’t it easy for him to rile Conrad up to the point of losing control and getting angry?

Now, Finn Grant felt a sense of schadenfreude, even daring to tease Conrad with an invitation: "Let’s take the driving test together next time we get the chance!"

Conrad couldn’t be bothered with him, and seeing Ethan’s car approaching, he said to Anna Thornton, "Let’s go home!"

Wait a minute! Something seemed off!

Seeing Anna Thornton following behind Conrad, Finn Grant hurried after her: "Anna, let me give you a ride."

"You’re not going in the same direction!" Conrad cut in before Anna Thornton could answer.

"Hey, I’m in a good mood tonight, with plenty of time and energy, so I’m willing to take a detour, okay?" Finn Grant rolled his eyes at Conrad, and turning to Anna Thornton, said, "No matter how far, I’ll take you!"

"To the Sterling Residence, you will?"

"The Sterling..."

Finn almost couldn’t finish his sentence!

His tongue stumbled briefly before realizing what Conrad meant, incredulously asking Anna Thornton: "Why are you living at the Sterling Residence?"

"She’s been living with me at the Sterling Residence for a while now, didn’t you know?"

"..." This time Finn Grant was at a loss for words.

How could he possibly know?

The whole matter, including getting their marriage certificate, was something Conrad had initially made Anna Thornton promise to keep secret.

And up until now, Anna Thornton had been keeping her word and stayed tight-lipped, while some people couldn’t help but spill the beans themselves.

Was Conrad not satisfied with the chaos tonight?

Anna Thornton was tired of the bickering. She didn’t want to deal with either man and just wanted to go to bed; she had a shoot the next morning.

She yawned, and Ethan tactfully opened the car door, letting Anna Thornton get in first.

Just a moment ago, Finn Grant thought he’d gained the upper hand.

He had practiced his acting skills and learned cheesy pick-up lines, all to get more time with Anna Thornton.

But Conrad Sterling didn’t have to do anything; he just dropped a truth bomb, giving Finn Grant a fatal blow.

A bolt out of the blue shattered the slight superiority Finn had managed to build!

Who said Conrad Sterling wasn’t intimidating?

It seems the saying "heeding advice from the wise prevents suffering from foolishness" holds some truth.

Conrad Sterling’s terrifying aspect was his keen perception, swift actions, and forward-thinking.

This advantage isn’t only evident in the business world but also in matters of the heart.

Finn Grant thought he was at most just a step ahead, but who knew Conrad had moved in with Anna Thornton long ago... long ago... lived together...!

Or even go further back, Conrad set his sights on Anna Thornton four years ago and seized the opportunity. They even have children now, two of them!

How can anyone compete with that? There’s no comparison!

Finn Grant stood confused and disheveled in the late-night wind, summarized by just five words—what a tragic guy!
