Chapter 480


    Alexander didn’t have a good impression of Annabelle. He could tell that Annabelle had used the


    porcin to aplish her goals. It exined why she was so determined to get it fixed and why


    she was


    willing to fork out a formidable amount of money for it. She wanted


    to use it again.


    How could he abet Annabelle’s evil ns?


    “No one in my team can help you,” stated Alexander coldly.


    His assistant said to Annabelle, “Ms. Green, let me show you out.”


    Annabelle angrily clenched her jaw as she stared at Alexander. He


    was cl


    chasing her out. Not only did he have an odd disposition, but so did everyone else on his team. After


    all, they’d refused her


    generous offer.


    In the end, she left in disappointment.


    Just as Annabelle left, Alexander called and said, “Use Annabelle as


    the starting point for your investigation.”


    Annabelle drove back home after leaving. A stack of medical reports.y in her car, and uneasiness


    clogged her throat.


    She’d guessed early on that Jeremy would have her abort the baby. However, she hadn’t expected


    how firm he was on the topic.


    Ever since her porcin vase shattered, she could feel him drawing away from her.

    Annabelle would do everything to keep the child and make Jeremy


    stay with her.


    After she got home, she pulled out her phone and searched for


    Natalie’s contact information. However, she had gotten blocked, and


    her message couldn’t get through.


    Thest message in their chat was from Natalie. She’d threatened to


    block Annabelle within the next ten minutes.


    Initially, Annabelle had thought that Natalie’s curiosity would prevail.


    Although she’d insisted that she’d block her, Annabelle believed that it was just an empty threat.


    Natalie wouldn’t do it for real. She hadn’t


    expected Natalie to follow through.


    She sent a friend request to Natalie using another ount, along with


    a direct message.


    “Don’t you want to know Jeremy’s secret?”


    After sending it, she received no response from Natalie for a long


    time.


    “Does yourck of curiosity stem from your confidence that Jeremy would never cheat on you?


    Aren’t you a little too confident, Natalie? What’s so special about you that makes Jeremy save


    himself for you? Just because of the fact that the both of you were childhood friends? I’ve never


    heard a sess story from any couple of this


    nature.


    “Just you wait. Once my belly grows, you can watch as your husband bes the father of my


    child! We’ll see how confident you are then!”


    Jealousy enveloped Annabelle.


    An hourter, Jeremy arrived. The second he walked in, he said emotionlessly, “Give me the


    reports.”


    Annabelle passed him the reports with teary eyes while pleading, “Mr. Hughes, perhaps we are


    destined to keep the baby. After all, it’s a life. too. The one both of us made, no less. I never thought


    that we would Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    have children.


    “I will still keep to the promises I made. I won’t bother you nor let the child disrupt your life. Please


    let me give birth to it. I promise I won’t let anyone know that it’s yours, alright?”


    Her every word radiated desperation. However, Jeremy’s expression only turned colder by the


    minute. He looked through the medical reports. He even read the doctor’s advice.


    “I’ve arranged for you to be taken for a re–examination to ensure that the baby will be aborted


    without causing harm to you,” said Jeremy.


    Considering Annabelle’s condition, a regr obstetrics hospital might not have been able to


    guarantee that the operation would go smoothly. However, he knew doctors who could.


    The color drained from Annabelle’s face. She asked, “Do you have to do that? The baby is a life


    too!”


    She sped her hands over her abdomen while cold sweat beaded


    her forehead.
