Chapter 465


    It was a weekend, and Skr and Joe had some free time.


    Sitting back on the bed, Skr thoughtfully asked, “You’ve known Annie for a long


    time. You surely must have some insight into her. Do you think she’s the type to


    quickly move on after being rejected?”


    She disliked Annie, but she believed that people could change. She didn’t want to


    hurt Steven.


    Joe raised an eyebrow. “Why the sudden interest in Annie?”


    Skr yfully nudged him with a smile. “Just tell me.”


    Joe’s gaze deepened as he looked at her. After a moment, he said, “Annie uses any means


    necessary to achieve her goals. If she’s fixated on something, she won’t give up easily. Basically,


    unless someone has significant power or status, she won’t lose


    interest quickly.”


    The smile on Skr’s face faded. Joe’s description perfectly matched her impression


    of Annie.


    It wasn’t that Steven wasn’t aplished. He was at the top of his field. For Annie, however, it was


    more than just a person’s capabilities; it was also about family background. Otherwise, Annie


    wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to drive a wedge


    between Skr and Joe.


    “There’s something you should know,” Skr began. “Steven recently started dating someone.


    Yesterday, he brought her home, and guess who it was? Annie. I have a feeling she got close to


    Steven quickly and started a rtionship with him to use him

    for something.”


    Joe’s expression darkened as he listened.


    “She’s be Steven’s girlfriend?”


    Skr nodded.


    Joe scoffed. “Is this her roundabout way of achieving her goals? I’ll have Paul look


    into it.”

    Skr was convinced Annie was trying to eyes


    be deceiving Steven,” she said.


    narrowed. “If that’s the case, she should Se Steven to achieve her goals. Her


    “I underestimated her,” Joe admitted, his voice icy. Many people had approached


    him with hidden agendas, and Annie was just one of them.


    Within a few hours, Paul reported back to Annie’s current situation. The TV station manager had


    heard rumors that the Silver family had offended the Martin family.


    As a consequence, they had begun to suppress Annie’s career. It wasn’t tant; they simply found


    a convenient excuse to cancel her show. The program’s ratings were average, and the quality of


    her guests had declined recently. Therefore, the


    cancetion wouldn’t raise many eyebrows.


    The previous day, at Yancey Residence, Annie had imed to be working on a new show, but it


    was a lie. The station hadn’t assigned her a new project, and she was on


    a break.


    As for her rtionship with Steven, it seemed like a coincidence. There wasn’t any clear evidence


    of maniption. It just appeared their rtionship had progressed


    quickly.


    Paul concluded, “Ms. Sullivan, is it possible that Annie genuinely likes Steven? He’s been doing


    exceptionally well. I’ve heard that foreignpanies are offering him lucrative deals.”


    Steven was very handsome. He was someone who could easily capture a woman’s


    heart.


    Skr was silent for a few minutes. “I hope she truly likes Steven.”


    They couldn’t jump to conclusions. They would have to wait and see.


    Joe could sense Skr’s concern. “If she has any ulterior motives, as long as she’s in Jipsburg,


    she’ll face consequences for her actions.”


    If Annie were targeting Skr, he would ensure she paid the price for harming Skr.

    The next day, as soon as Skr arrived at work, Alexander called her into his office.


    “I’ve returned the items to my friend,” he began. “He confirmed they were purchased abroad, along


    with two other things. I didn’t bring them back, but I took some photos for you to see.”
