Chapter 530
A chill ran down Annie’s spine as she stared at the card in her hands. She asked, “Is everything
good to go?”
Grayson replied softly, “I’ve made the necessary arrangements. It’s up to you now. Don’t disappoint
all of us, Annie.”
Her face paled. Anxiety clogged her throat. However, when she thought of their predicament, she
could only nod and say, “Alright.”
Then, she left the hall with the card.
It was 10:00 pm. The g would be ending in an hour’s time. Due to thete hour, many people
would be staying at the hotel that night.

Joe swirled his ss. The crimson liquid sparkled under the light. He had drunk almost four sses
of red wine out of boredom. However, his frustration remained.
“Mr. Martin, I’ve booked your room for you. Here’s the key card,” said Paul.
Joe took the card from Paul and informed him, “I’m going up to rest.”
Joe wasn’t a stranger to leaving early. After all, he got bored easily at events, like these.
Paul had also booked a room for himself. Since Joe had left, he also went upstairs after a few more
sips of wine. These gs offered premium wine. He couldn’t bear to spend on these bottles of
champagne, so he would take advantage of the asion and have his share.
Suddenly, he stared into the distance. Hadn’t Natalie found out about Jeremy’s affair? He’d already
fired Annabelle, and they’d broken up. Why…
Annabelle stumbled into Jeremy’s arms. Perhaps Jeremy hadn’t reacted quickly enough to push her
away, but he allowed her to fall into his embrace.
Annabelle’s gorgeous face was covered with a dainty blush. Paul couldn’t hear their conversation
from where he was standing, and the music also hindered his hearing.
However, he had always been a gossiper
Annabelle’s schemes were ingenious. She could twist the situation to her advantage even after
Natalie found out that Jeremy had cheated.
Jeremy probably didn’t care about Natalie’s opinion anymore.
No matter how much Paul wanted to watch the show, he forced himself to turn away so Jeremy
wouldn’t think he was spying on them.
At the same time, Jeremy pushed Annabelle away. He seemed cold and unforgiving.
When Annabelle was shoved off him, surprise contorted her features. Yet, the smile from when
she’d fallen into Jeremy’s arms hadn’t faded either. She looked ridiculous as the two expressions
warred against each other.
“Mr. Hughes,” Annabelle protested weakly.
How could this be possible? When she approached him, his gaze had softened. He had been
entranced by her like before. Why was he behaving differently today?
Within a few seconds, Jeremy’s expression had changedpletely. He pushed her off him without
hesitation.
Jeremy clenched his jaw. He asked, “I see you haven’t given up on seducing me, eh?”
“No, I wasn’t trying to seduce you. I’d worn heels that were too high for me. I couldn’t find my footing
in them, so I identally fell into your arms. It’s my fault. I remember what you said to me thest
time we met.”
Annabelle immediately acted like a frightened doe. However, she was
genuinely terrified. Why had this method lost its effectiveness entirely? How could this be possible?
She did not understand. Was it because of the shattered porcin? The tactics she’d employed at
the beginning became useless when repeated.
“Which perfume do you use?” asked Jeremy. He looked down at her questioningly.
Annabelle was stunned by his question. Her heart pounded nervously as she replied, “I don’t use
perfume.”

Why was he asking this all of a sudden? Had he realized something? She ced her hand behind
her back diffidently.
Usually, people wouldn’t pick up on her methods as they no longer believed in ck magic. Yet,
Annabelle thought of Skr, who worked under Alexander. Even though she’d offered her billions in
hopes that she’d help restore her porcin, Skr refused to help her. She wouldn’t even take a
look at it.
