Anna Poole had faced numerous challenges from a young age. While attempting to address a crisis within her company alongside her trusted friend, Serene Cox, Anna was unknowingly drugged and sold to Mr. King. After Anna managed to injure Mr. King and escape, she found herself in the room of another man, Zach Howl, who was also under the influence of an aphrodisiac. This unexpected encounter led to a moment of intimacy between them. As soon as Anna came to her senses, she resolved to confront Serene and unintentionally overheard a sinister plot between Serene and the supposedly deceased Bryan Lane. Enraged, Anna confronted Serene, who retaliated by injuring her and accidentally starting a fire. In a life-threatening situation, Anna was rescued by Waver Taylor, who had recently returned to the country. Ten months later, Anna gave birth to twins, and one of them was taken away by the Browns. Together with a doctor, the Brown mother and daughter falsely claimed that the child had died due to suffocation.
