A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Anna pursed her lips: "Thank you."

She originally thought that even after escaping the control of that demon Whitehorn, she would never be able to have a new life.

but……

Luke gave her a new life.

That milky-white medicinal bath.

After Anna went with Earl that day, when she heard Earl make her lie in a bathtub filled with medicinal soup, she wondered if Luke was planning to discard her after she had served her purpose.

She even resigned herself to her fate at that time.

But when she took a nap and broke through the milky white ice that had formed on the surface of her medicinal bath, she saw Anna smiling and handing her a mirror.

Anna was shocked when she looked in the mirror and saw that although her breasts had not yet fully recovered, the damage had visibly subsided, and she was once again experiencing smooth, white breasts.

Later, when he was on business trips, Earl would prepare such a medicinal bath for her every night.

After a month of medicinal baths, Anna stood naked in the mirror of her room yesterday. Looking at her body, now smooth, white, and even spotless, she was so excited that she squatted down, hugged her knees, and cried bitterly.

Looking at the gratitude in Anna's eyes, Lu Ke smiled and said, "I accept your thanks. Please sit down!"

Anna nodded.

In the living room.

Luke and Anna sat facing each other.

Earl went out to return from leave, and while she was at it, she planned to visit various departments and let them know that she was back and that no one dared to bully her boss.

Luke handed the bourbon he had poured to Anna.

"Give."

"Thank you."

Luke, holding his wine glass, looked at Anna.

Happy new year! Cheers!

"cheers."

Luke downed his drink in one gulp, then poured bourbon into Anna's glass and asked, "What are your plans now?"

Upon hearing this, Anna looked at Luke and a seemingly happy smile appeared on her face: "I plan to go to Quantico."

Luke was not surprised by Anna's answer.

after all……

Anna's boyfriend lives in Quantico.

To be precise, it was at the Quantico military base.

"What was his name again?"

"Duke."

"The Duke."

Luke snapped his fingers and nodded: "SEAL Team Six, I remember now. But you've been gone for so long, he won't suspect anything, will he?"

Anna shook her head and said, "Duke went overseas on a mission six months ago."

When talking about Duke...

Anna's smile was genuine.

Because this boyfriend was someone she wanted to date herself, unlike the others whose relationships were arranged for her by Whitehouse.

Luke saw the smile on Anna's face, got up, walked to his desk, and took out his checkbook from the drawer.

Crash.

After writing down the amount and signing his name, Lu Ke tore off the check, walked back to the sofa, and handed the check to Anna: "A freshman gift."

Anna took the check, looked at the amount on it, paused slightly, and then looked at Luke.

“Lucy, this is too much, and I also have some savings.”

"I will stick to my decision."

Luke looked at Anna with a serious expression and said, "If you weren't the one in charge this time, I believe that taking over Old Dog's businesses would not have been so smooth and pleasant."

This is the truth.

Because it was Anna, he was able to take over all of Whitehouse's assets within a month and successfully gain control.

If it were someone else, without a doubt, the final result might be the same, but the process would definitely be much longer.

Anna looked at the check in her hand, opened her mouth, and said, "Then... I'll accept it?"

Lu Ke smiled and said, "Take it. Although you did not accept my cooperation invitation, I still consider you my partner."

Upon hearing this, Anna looked at Luke and gave a wry smile.

"Feel sorry."

"Need not."

Luke waved his hand and laughed, "You have the right to choose your life, and I respect that. What time is your flight?"

Anna put away the check and glanced at the time on her wristwatch.

"The plane leaves at one o'clock."

"Ok."

Lu Ke checked the time; it was already 10 a.m. He stood up and hugged Anna, who had also stood up, again: "Then next time I come over, I'll treat you to a meal."

Anna smiled and said, "Thank you again, really, Luke, thank you."

Lu Ke smiled.

"I send you."

"Do not……"

"I insist!"

Lu Ke said this, but instead of taking Anna downstairs, he took her to the elevator and watched her walk into it.

The elevator is closed.

Lu Ke saw off yet another "retiring" employee, sighed, turned around, and returned to his office.

Earl was already waiting at the office door.

"Chief, Anna definitely doesn't need it..."

"Need not!"

Lu Ke laughed and said, "She's actually quite unfortunate, having suffered so much. But after all the hardships, things are finally looking up. She wants to retire, so let her retire."

Earl nodded. "Understood."

……

Chapter 304: One Billion In, Eight Billion Out (Third Update!)

As Lu Ke spoke, he pushed open the office door and returned to his office.

He understood Earl's concerns.

After all, no matter how Anna behaves or what she says, one thing will never change.

That is, she is Daniel Whitehorn's daughter.

Luke chopped up Whitehouse.

and so……

According to federal tradition, Anna shouldn't have stayed behind. Even if she didn't, she should have been kept under close surveillance.

Luke felt it was unnecessary.

Anna is a smart woman.

From the very beginning, she found a reason to convince Lu Ke not to kill her, to handing over all the matters and extricating herself from the situation in time.

Anna demonstrated the qualities that an intelligent person should have.

Assess the situation and know when to retire gracefully.

If Luke hadn't wanted to let Anna leave, he wouldn't have written that check.

same.

The invoice he just gave Anna was meant to reassure her, and at the same time, it was a way of telling her something.

Between you and me, the money is exchanged, and from now on, we part ways peacefully, each to our own happiness.

Luke poured himself a glass of wine, turned around and handed it to Earl who was standing behind him. After sitting back on the sofa, he shook his head and said, "Actually, I still owe Anna something."

Earl looked at Luke with curiosity.

Luke shook his head: "Anna's brother."

Anna has a younger brother.

The biological kind.

Just as his bet with Whitehorn was about to begin, after Anna and Jia Ying had been taken away by Madam Viper, Anna told Luke about it through Madam Viper.

Whitehall seems to have tricked her brother into going somewhere unknown, perhaps with her, or perhaps not.

But Anna hoped that Luke would let her foolish brother off the hook.

Her brother was simply misled by Whitehead's theories of the Third Reich.

Luke agreed at the time.

But he never expected that Whitehorn, that old dog, would lock him inside an underwater base on the seabed.

In that situation, Luke's attacks would be difficult to target, and his survival would depend entirely on luck.
