Chapter 490
Suddenly, Annabel paused… Thuck!
She knelt on the floor. “Mr. Bailey, I want to live – I don’t want to die yet. I’ve only reconciled with my parents for five years, and I’m their only daughter. I can’t die…” Anthony spun when he heard the sound of something falling, and he saw her small figure kneeling on the ground. He reached out to pull her up.
“McKenzie drugged you?”
Yes… Earlier today. She gave me your address and helped me get into Violet Villa. She said nobody would be able to make a cure for this drug, and I’ll have to take an antidote every month. If I told you about it, the worst thing you could do is to kill her while I’ll have to suffer every month…” fretted the anxious Annabel, much like a meek little sheep. 2
Anthony frowned. His eyes darkened. Not only did McKenzie plot against Charmine, but she even went after Annabel as well? “Head home for now,” said Anthony in his low voice. “I’ll fix this.” “Alright, thank you. Thank you so much!” Annabel.bowed politely and turned to leave. Anthony looked at her leaving figure with a heavy and perplexed gaze. That woman had endured so much pain, and without him knowing it, he was the cause of it all… “Watch her from the shadows, Luke,” Anthony instructed Luke, “and investigate her case swiftly.” “Yes, Sir!” Luke nodded. Concurrently, in the villa… After Anthony and Annabel had left for the rockery pond, Chris pulled Charmine to the window and gave her high-tech earbuds. “Mommy, put these on. These can collect nearby sounds so that you can listen to their conversation.”
“No, Momo, you can’t do this. This is an invasion of privacy,” rejected Charmine ;
However, Chris insisted that she take the earbuds, “Daddy is my father, my family; I have the right to know about everything! Mommy is his wife, so you have the right to know about him and other women. This isn’t an invasion of privacy-we only want to know him better. Only through understanding him better can we become closer and live happily as a family!” assured Chris with a serious look as he put the earbuds into Charmine’s ears. 2
Charmine wanted to reject, but Chris held onto her hands and gave her no chance to remove them. 1
With that, she had no choice but to listen to the conversation between Anthony and Annabel… However, Chris heard something he should not have heard. Instantly, he let go of Charmine’s hands and hastily spoke, “Mommy, take off the earbuds. We can’t invade others’ privacy!”
Things would turn bad if Mommy heard what they were talking about! However, Charmine already heard what Chris heard. She heard everything as clear as day.
Instantly, her eyes darkened and felt as though her heart was strangled tightly by an invisible hand. She felt hurt, in pain.
This weak and gentle young lady was the person Anthony slept with back then? That she was Chris’ mother?
