The Amazing Strike Back: Mommy Wants To Revenge!-Chapter 370: One Day I’ll Make You Pay

Anna Thornton has been so busy with her consecutive public appearances lately, she’s like a spinning top moving at high speed—tired beyond measure once she stops.

So she fell asleep within minutes of sitting in the car.

Conrad Sterling took off his suit jacket and gently covered her with it.

Throughout the journey, President Sterling and Ethan remained in silent companionship, allowing her to sleep peacefully.

Anna Thornton slept soundly enough until she sensed someone picking her up.

The person holding her was gentle and steady.

"Conrad Sterling, are you awake?" Anna Thornton asked him directly.

"Yes."

"If you’re awake, then let go of me quickly!"

Conrad Sterling never celebrated his birthday because it was not a good day for him, often shrouded in misfortune.

For more than twenty years, even Aunt Murray hardly mentioned it to him. As his only relative, she merely sent him a text message each time.

As a child, Conrad Sterling was as irritable as he is now; anyone who mentioned his birthday provoked his anger.

As a result, he never tasted birthday cake or made birthday wishes.

But this year, he wanted a gift!

Anna Thornton was definitely not going to give him a gift.

The reason Conrad Sterling didn’t approach Anna Thornton before was because he still felt guilty towards her.

When the Thornton Family experienced upheaval, Conrad Sterling stood by idly, thus altering the entire trajectory of Anna Thornton’s life, which she was unable to accept upon knowing the truth.

However, having passed so much time, Conrad Sterling’s patience and restraint as a man had worn thin.

He admitted that seeing her with Finn Grant filled him with uncontrollable jealousy.

Instead of the indifference and neglect of recent days, Conrad Sterling would rather she hate him!

It was certainly better than worrying about having no place in her heart.

And that spot would eventually be taken by other men!

The next day—

Anna Thornton came out of the bathroom in Conrad Sterling’s room after a shower.

She put on the new clothes already prepared for her at the bedside.

She wasn’t making any accusations, but coldly asked Conrad Sterling: "Do you know the fate of the jerk in the current film I’m shooting?"

"?" Conrad Sterling usually didn’t watch dramas or read novels.

"Just you wait!"

Anyway, Anna Thornton left these words long drawn out.

Just wait, Conrad Sterling!

Dare to bully people like this, someday I’m going to make sure you can’t even rest in peace!

...

Anna Thornton finally filmed her first scene opposite the male lead since joining the crew.

Finn Grant turned out to be very resilient; he had just found out last night about Anna Thornton living with Conrad Sterling. He had already adjusted his mindset, completely unaffected during filming.

Director Nash specifically arranged for Finn Grant’s first scene to be led by Anna Thornton.

Anna Thornton’s acting was recognized by Director Nash, and at the same time, she differed from Zoe Bowen.

Though Zoe Bowen’s acting was good, her style was aggressive.

She performed for herself without considering whether her co-actor could keep up with her.

Anna Thornton, on the other hand, was an engaging actor who not only got into character herself but could also draw her co-actors into the scene.

Unless absolutely necessary, she would not make her co-actor feel pressured, even if they were new to acting.

This was probably because today’s scene depicted Concubine Jean’s entrance into the palace, and the Emperor’s love at first sight for her, which Finn Grant naturally portrayed.

Anyway, the way he looked at Anna Thornton met the mark.

It was enough to portray a scheming, powerful emperor who, after long periods in solitude, developed a strong interest in a young girl—this was Finn Grant himself, wasn’t it?

Anna Thornton felt Finn Grant’s interest in her stemmed from his loneliness, having seen too few women.

After reshooting a scene due to angle issues, Finn Grant specifically came to show off in front of Anna Thornton.

"Did you see just now? My agile facial expressions, these captivating eyes that speak volumes—President Sterling could never possess them in his lifetime. What’s the point of living with such a block of wood?"

What Finn Grant said was true.

Actually, Director Nash later analyzed that someone like Finn Grant, with an outgoing personality, might be naturally suited for acting.

If Young Master Grant didn’t have a family business to inherit, he certainly wouldn’t starve.

With his looks and talent, he would definitely carve out his own space in the entertainment industry.

But Conrad Sterling was different; his nature was reserved and restrained, only capable of portraying an emotionless block of wood.

No, not a block of wood!

Thinking of her experiences last night and the slight soreness in her waist, Anna Thornton felt that person was indeed an emotionless machine.

However, as Finn Grant casually mentioned living together, Anna Thornton immediately looked around warily.

With so many people in the crew, she had been betrayed once already, and with her current fame, she constantly felt someone was waiting for her to make a mistake, watching from the shadows.

"Young Master Grant, don’t speak nonsense. I’m not with Conrad Sterling."

"Then what are you?" Finn Grant asked.

Seeing the light of hope rekindle in Finn Grant’s eyes, Anna Thornton hesitated and pondered.

If she said she was married and registered with Conrad Sterling, could Finn Grant handle that?

If he threw a fit in the crew and went ballistic, causing a delay in filming that the director couldn’t fund, would that be her fault?

"Forget it, I’ve thought it through! You being with Conrad Sterling doesn’t matter. Women, after all, must first meet a few scumbags before they find their true love—fate doesn’t come quickly. When you eventually come to your senses and come to my side, I’ll always welcome you!"

He was open-minded!

And quite generous!

Finn Grant entering acting was already a rarity, and the position of the four big families in Aethelgard continually led many women in the crew to seek opportunities to get close to Finn Grant today.

Yet, Finn Grant showed no kindness to any woman other than Anna Thornton.

Even his own sister—pamper her, definitely, and give her money. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

But asking him to be patient? Perhaps in another lifetime.

Conversely, he could recite cheesy lines for Anna Thornton and act for her.

Anna Thornton couldn’t understand what he was up to?

Was he just eager to trick a woman and have her bear his child?

Anna Thornton had asked Finn Grant this question before, since she had never given him a chance—there was no need for Finn Grant to hang on this particular tree.

Nevertheless, Finn Grant’s answer was that he was willing to hang on the same tree as Conrad Sterling.

Anna Thornton: "..."

She suspected that this brother might not have fully understood his own orientation yet.

His persistent pursuit seemed more about vying with Conrad Sterling for a woman—it didn’t matter how she heard it, Anna Thornton felt Finn Grant’s interest in Conrad Sterling was greater than his interest in her!
