Chapter 495: Chapter 495: No One Can Force Me to Marry (1)
"How is this possible!"
Quinn Thorne rushed over and forcefully pushed the staff aside, "How could there be no marriage records! That’s impossible!"
Yet, no matter how many times he searched, there was nothing. The personal information page belonging to Anya Forrest was completely blank, with no marriage records.
"It seems that this time, Young Master Thorne will have to accept that he made a mistake. If that’s the case, then I’ll take my leave."
"No! You can’t leave!" Quinn suddenly rushed over and grabbed Anya by the wrist, shouting, "We can get married again! Yes! We can register our marriage now!" He yelled at the staff, "Immediately arrange for me and Anya to register our marriage!"
The civil affairs officer immediately intervened, "Young Master Thorne..."
"Anya, don’t worry, it will be fine soon," Quinn urged repeatedly, "Hurry up! You, move faster!"
Slap—
Anya raised her hand and slapped Quinn across the face, "Cooled down yet?"
"Anya..."
"We’ve only met for the second time, Young Master Thorne can call me Anya," she forcefully pulled her wrist free, "Also, I don’t want to marry you, and I absolutely won’t. Even though you, Quinn Thorne, are from a prestigious family with high status, you still have to obey the laws of Veridia. The law states that if I am unwilling, no one can force me to marry."
After Anya said that, she didn’t linger and turned to leave.
"Anya!"
Quinn shouted as he chased after her, but Anya’s footsteps did not pause, and he could only watch as she drove away.
...
The Hawthorne Group’s CEO’s office.
Bang—
Quinn forcefully slammed the office door open.
The executives who were reporting work were startled.
Elias Hawthorne saw Quinn’s state, furrowed his brows slightly, and instructed, "Just proceed according to what you just reported, then step out."
The executive acknowledged, glanced at the distraught Quinn, and quickly left.
"Boss..." Quinn rushed up to Elias, "Anya and I are not married!"
"Hmm." Elias swiftly signed his name at the bottom of the document, "That’s something everyone knows."
"No." Quinn snatched the document from Elias’s hand, "But seven years ago, I had already registered my marriage with Anya! But now, our marriage records are gone."
Elias was slightly surprised, "You registered your marriage with Anya."
"Yes." Quinn’s voice softened, "I wanted to marry her, wanted to be with her for life, and she felt the same. So we registered for marriage."
Elias didn’t know what to say, he rubbed his temples and looked at Quinn’s earnest expression, saying, "Let me take a look."
Elias pulled over his laptop, his fingers swiftly tapping the keyboard, inputting several commands for a cross-search.
Lines of characters rapidly danced across the screen.
Suddenly Elias’s expression sharpened.
This is...
Traces left by Wraith.
Quinn anxiously watched Elias, finally unable to hold back, "Boss, did you find anything?"
Elias concealed his emotions and said, "Not yet, too much time has passed, many traces have disappeared."
Quinn couldn’t hide his disappointment, "Boss, if even you can’t find it, what about my marriage with Anya?"
"What do you mean what about it? Isn’t she still fine and already in Southgate? As for your marriage—did you not reluctantly marry her seven years ago, do you still want to wrong her again after seven years?"
Quinn replied without hesitation, "Of course not, I want to give Anya the best things in this world!"
"If that’s the case, then there’s nothing else to investigate, what’s important is now."
Quinn became spirited again, "Right, you’re right. The most important thing is the present."
When Elias returned to The Prosperity Gardens Apartment, Raina North was in the study drafting a surgical plan.
Even though she felt fairly confident about this surgery, Raina was cautious and meticulous, given that it involved Old Master North.
