Chapter 261
Christopher thought, “As far as I’m concerned, Annabelle holds no personal grudges against Mr. Hatfield. The whip
left in Annabelle’s place clearly indicates that they had investigated her past. Given Mr. Hatfield’s status, he
wouldn’t have to make it so obvious. For him to do such a thing, it must have something to do with that person
backing him up. That whip is a warning.”
After Wesley left, Christopher made a phone call to Annabelle.
The call took a while to get connected and was finally answered by the other party.
Annabelle’s voice sounded like she was in a hurry.
It was noisy, with loud music blasting in the background.
Christopher asked casually. “Are you still outside?”
Annabelle hummed in response and walked to a place that was quieter than before. “What’s the matter?”
Although Christopher had yet to say anything, Annabelle knew him well enough to understand that he wouldn’t call
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther at such a late hour if it wasn’t for something important.
Moreover, Christopher had obviously been his distance ever since he got together with Yuliana.
Christopher asked, “Do you still keep in contact with Harry?”
“What’s wrong?” Annabelle paused. Then, she chuckled. “I don’t think it has anything to do with you. if I keep in
touch with him or not.”
“It is indeed none of my business.” Christopher felt his throat was a little dry, so he took a sip of his wine and
continued, “But then, I want to remind you of something. Don’t play with fire, or you might get burned in the end.”
Annabelle was quiet for a couple of seconds. “What do
you mean?”
Although Christopher had given her kind reminders before, he had never said warned her so solemnly.
She wondered, “Playing with fire?”
When Annabelle was pondering his words, she heard Christopher’s indifferent voice again, asking over the phone,
“Do you know who sent that person to break into your house that night?”
Hearing that, she was stunned, but she soon understood what Christopher meant.
In fact, she had also hired someone to investigate this, but she had yet to get any updates from them.
Annabelle frowned. An innocent face appeared in her mind. “Was it Harry’s fiancée?”
She had seen Harry’s fiancée before. His fiancée was pretty and looked obedient.
Annabelle would even categorize Harry’s fiancée as the same kind of person as Yuliana.
However, Yuliana was different. She was prettier, and her unworldly temperament felt more innate than Harry’s
fiancée.
However, Annabelle knew better than to judge a book by its cover.
It was even more applicable to the circle of wealthy people. They might present themselves glamorously, but they
often had the most dirt to hide from the public.
Christopher laughed and said, “Unlike Yuliana, you can’t step all over her.”
“What’s wrong? Are you trying to defend your wife?” Annabelle sneered. “Don’t forget. If it weren’t for me. Yuliana
might still be married to Harry.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnnabelle’s smile instantly faded after she said that.
In fact, her argument was invalid. Given Harry’s character, he would have surely divorced Yuliana even without
Annabelle’s interference.
After all, Harry could never have gotten with the daughter from the Lynch family if he had not divorced Yuliana.
Annabelle shamelessly claimed credit for it herself.
Christopher kept the same expression and did not respond to what Annabelle said.
They were both silent for a few seconds.
Annabelle came back to her senses and said. “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
“Annabelle, don’t be reckless and do something that you will regret in the future.”
After that, Christopher ended the call.
Annabelle stood outside for a while. She thought of what Christopher had said to her before ending the call and
sneered. Then, she turned around and walked inside the bar, heading straight to her booth. Yvette was talking to a
young man at that time.
Upon seeing her, Yvette asked, “Where did you go?”
Annabelle said nothing and took a sip of the wine in her glass.
Sensing that Annabelle was upset, Yvette sent the young man away and sat next to Annabelle, asking. “Did anyone
upset you?”
