Chapter 481


    Annabelle had underestimated Jeremy’s ruthlessness.


    With Jeremy’swork, he’d have no problems finding her a skilled doctor. The other doctors might


    not have dared operate on her, but the doctor Jeremy found would have no such qualms.


    Jeremy red at Annabelle and said, “He’s not destined for me.”


    His children could only be from Natalie.


    Annabelle was terrified by the spark of cruelty in Jeremy’s eyes. She


    pressed, “Mr. Hughes, can’t you consider my suggestion? I can leave


    this country with the baby. Wouldn’t that be enough?”


    Was he just as cruel to Natalie?


    No. Annabelle had seen him calling and texting Natalie. He’d given all


    his gentleness to Natalie. He would never let her see the cruel side of


    him.


    Jeremy said coldly, “Someone will pick you up tomorrow morning.”


    Annabelle could only watch Jeremy leave.


    She saw two people downstairs. They were Jeremy’s bodyguards. They often attended important


    events with him.


    He’d sent bodyguards over. Was he scared that she’d leave tonight?


    Annabelle nced at her phone. Natalie hadn’t replied.


    She used another ount to request to follow Natalie. She sent a


    direct message saying, “Don’t you want to know what’s my


    rtionship with Jeremy?”


    After Jeremy got into the car, he instructed his bodyguards, “Stay here


    to watch her tonight. I hope there won’t be any mishaps.”


    “Yes, Mr. Hughes.”


    On the way back home, Jeremy called Natalie. However, no one


    picked up. He called her two more times, yet she still didn’t respond.


    Was she busy?


    Jeremy threw his phone aside and massaged his temples. He regretted allowing Natalie to work.


    That Austin…


    He called a private investigator and asked, “How’s the investigation going?”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “Mr. Hughes, I’ve finished the investigation. Austin is just a regr person. His parents died early


    on, and he has never been to university. This greatly affected his career in the beginning. However,


    he has won countless awards because of his excellent acting skills.


    “He’s got a great reputation in the entertainment industry. All the directors he’d worked with before


    tended to invite him to coborate again, some of them multiple times. I’ve tried digging up dirt on


    him for multiple days but found nothing.


    “He’s never had a girlfriend before, nor did he receive help from powerful people. He’s the rare kind


    of actor who has got to where he is today by himself. As to his life, it’s a simple one. When he’s not


    acting, he travels and partakes in some extreme sports.”


    Chapter 481.


    He’d hired a private investigator, yet all he found out about Austin was


    positive.


    Austin was too clean. Ufortably so.


    As Jeremy was about to arrive home, he called Natalie again. No one picked up.


    Natalie only called back after Jeremy took a shower.


    “Honey, I’d identally put my phone on silent and was busy just now. It’s noisy on set and I wasn’t


    paying attention to my phone. I’ll be done in around half an hour.”


    Jeremy’s uneasiness calmed after hearing Natalie’s words. He said, Alright, I’ll be waiting for you at


    home.”


    “Yep! Wait for me. In the afternoon, I saw the chain bakery that you adore on the way to work. I’ll


    buy you the bread that you like so much, Isaid Natalie. Upon seeing the bakery, her mind jumped to


    Jeremy


    immediately.


    He said gently, “Yes, of course I will.”


    Natalie hung up cheerily. Her grin hadn’t even faded when she saw the requests on Instagram.
