Chapter 17 Orphanage . The next day , before dawn , he drove to the orphanage . The director of the orphanage saw him and didn't seem surprised . Edward became even more certain of his suspicions . He strode over , his tone urgent , " Tell me where Anna is , and I can give you 4,000,000 . " The director didn't even lift his eyelids . " I don't know where Anna went , but two months ago , she did come to see me . " " What did she say to you ? " Edward asked anxiously . " She said she regretted it . She regretted being adopted by the Copeland family , and she regretted being with you . " " I can't give you the answer you want . Even if I knew , I wouldn't tell you . " After being thrown out , Edward's mind echoed with the words she had just said , his brain completely blank . Anastasia said ... she regretted it ... regretted being with him . He took a deep breath , struggling to suppress his turbulent emotions , and called his assistant . " Quick , check the orphanage's surveillance and transaction records from the past few months for me . " He hadn't expected that this investigation would actually yield something . Every month , a large sum of money from overseas was transferred to the orphanage's account . Hearing this , Edward could barely contain his inner joy .

But after learning the general location , he immediately booked a flight to Switzerland overnight . But before leaving , there was one last thing he had to do . Edward appeared at the airport with a group of people . When he saw the woman with her face covered , only her eyes showing , he waved his hand lightly . In an inconspicuous corner , several men in suits covered her mouth and nose , dragging her away . When Priscilla woke up , the first thing she saw was Edward's calm , emotionless eyes . Scenes of past torment flashed before her eyes , making her tremble uncontrollably . She pounded on the door desperately , " Help ! Help ! Someone is trying to kill me ! " Edward sat on the sofa , swirling his wine glass , as if admiring a dying prey . Seeing no one respond to her , Priscilla broke down . She knelt before him , clutching his pant leg and pleading hoarsely , " Eddie , I did all this because I loved you too much . I just wanted you to be mine alone . For the sake of me being your first love , please let me go . " Her hair was disheveled , and she had long lost her former radiance , leaving only a face that still faintly resembled her old self . Edward squatted in front of her , pried her hands off his pant leg one by one . " Break her arms and legs , and send her to Mexico . " His voice was cold , devoid of any emotion . Priscilla knew exactly what that meant . She screamed in despair , unprecedented fear filling her eyes , but in the end , her voice grew weaker and weaker . She suddenly looked up at him , a trace of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth . " Do you think Anastasia left all because of me ? You always blame me , but it takes two to tango , Edward . Do you really think you did nothing wrong ? " " It was you , your favoritism , that gave me the courage to go against her . " " It was you who drove her away .
