Chapter 4
Isabelle said in a cold voice, “Care about her? Do it in your next life! I came over this time just to see when you guys are getting divorced. I just want Annette to be my daughter-in-law!”
After saying that, she pushed Annette to Chaiden’s side. She then looked at the two like appreciating a painting.
“Look at both of you, Chaiden. What a perfect match!”
Annette's body was already pressed against Chaiden's chest at this moment.
“Mom, what are you talking about? Annette has a husband.”
Chaiden’s mouth was refusing. But his body couldn't help but tilt towards Annette's side. On the other side, Annette also just laughed softly. She also didn't say anything.
Looking at the three happy people in front of me, I couldn't stay any longer. “Chaiden, I'm a little tired now. You should stay with Annette and Mom here.”
I knew Chaiden must have long been immersed in Annette's tenderness. He didn't even look at me. He just answered with a double nod, which meant he agreed.
When I went upstairs and looked out from the balcony, Annette had already put her arm around Chaiden's arm.
My mother-in-law's sharp voice came in from outside, “My son, hurry up and get that woman out of the Wright Family. It’s bad luck to see her. You know that Annette's fiancé is also incompetent. See what time is suitable for the two of you to hurry up and get married.”
I listened carefully to my mother-in-law's words at this time. However, Chaiden looked at Annette with deep affection. But Annette's evasive look made Chaiden's eyes full of endless bitterness.
I didn't have the strength to look any further. I went back to bed and curled up under the covers and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dark. Dazedly, I heard Chaiden's familiar voice coming in from outside the door.
“Annette, do you know how happy I was when my mom pushed you to my side today? That was a scene I have dreamed of countless times. I am Chaiden Wright, I can get anything I want in my life, except you.”
Chaiden's voice was hoarse with the slightest hint of crying. I had never seen Chaiden so fragile like this.
I quietly got down from the bed and walked to the door to open a gap. Annette took Chaiden in her arms. She also gently stroked his back to comfort him softly.
“Chaiden, I also have a lot of helplessness. But I did not expect you to make such a big sacrifice for me. Chaiden, you have suffered.”
Hearing Annette say this, Chaiden suddenly kissed Annette's lips like a madman. On the other side, Annette was stunned for a moment. She then raised her head to respond fiercely.
After a period of entanglement, Chaiden murmured softly, “It's not hard, Annette. As long as you're happy and enjoy it, it doesn't feel hard for me to do anything. So you have to…”
Chaiden's words were not yet finished, but Annette pulled Chaiden’s shirt and kissed him passionately. I couldn't bear to watch it any longer. Then I closed the door to the room.
A few minutes later, I heard the door to the guest room being opened. The sound of a man and a woman having sex came out of that guest room.
My stomach began to churn uncontrollably. It was like there was a fire in my chest that had no place to go. I looked at the wall in front of me and hit my head hard.
After a moment of dizziness, I finally felt better. I turned around and looked at myself in the mirror. I then cried loudly at this time.
I just sat in the room in a daze until the early morning. Chaiden never came back to our room. Meanwhile, the guest room next door kept laughing.
When the sky gradually brightened up, the door of the room was pushed open from outside. The person who came in was not Chaiden, but Annette.
Annette looked at the disheveled me sitting on the floor. She then laughed loudly and pointed at the tip of my nose.
She said in a stern voice, “I know Maverick loved you so much, Aurelie. So what do you think? I hooked my finger and he got into my bed. What if Chaiden married you, but in your home at the same time, he slept with me?”
Chapter 5
Annette looked at me indifferently. “Aurelie Solstice, I used to hate it when I saw you being so high and mighty. Now it's great, you've become a slut scorned by ten thousand people!”
I just silenced. I didn’t say anything to her at this moment.
“Do you know that when Chaiden found someone to scourge you, he knew that you were pregnant ah? But what can he do? He still didn't show any mercy, right? He was accompanying me on the golf course when you were bleeding underneath. You have to know that the shot I hit was really good. Your screams were hovering over the golf course, so melodious.”
Annette's words made me stiffen in place as if I had been struck by lightning. It turned out that Chaiden knew that I was pregnant. I still couldn't believe my husband abused me for the sake of this evil woman. Even our child was not spared.
Annette kept pacing in front of me. She looked at me and saw that my face was full of the satisfaction of the villain.
I couldn't hold back any longer. I stepped forward and grabbed Annette's neck.
But my body hadn't recovered yet. It made my strength too weak. I couldn't do anything to her.
She opened her voice and cried out for help, “Chaiden, come and save me now. Aurelie has gone crazy. Chaiden, help me.”
Chaiden pushed the bedroom door hard from the outside. He then pushed me to the ground
He then grabbed Annette and asked in a soft voice, “Annette, what's going on? Why are you arguing?”
Annette looked at Chaiden who was in front of her for that moment. She then burst into tears.
“Chaiden, I told you before I came here that I wanted to help Aurelie with her psychological counselling from a professional point of view. This way is to ask her to retell what happened, but I didn't expect that she would actually want to strangle me to death…”
Annette cried out as she spoke. Chaiden turned to look at me with ice-coldness under his eyes.
“Chaiden, please listen to me first.”
“Shut up, Aurelie Solstice! I don't understand why you have such a big prejudice against Annette. Annette kindly came to comfort you with good intentions. But what are you doing? Killing someone? I'm so ashamed to have a wife like you, Aurelie. It’s so disgusting!”
After saying that, he picked up Annette and turned around to leave. Before leaving, Annette looked at me and revealed a victorious smile. Her clothes were soaked with tears.
I looked around the home that I had set up with my own hands and Chaiden's little by little. I then looked at myself in the mirror. I laughed out loud for that moment. It turned out that everything was fake.
Since they want to destroy me, I won't let them get away with it and have a good time.
Thinking of this, I took out my cell phone. I dialled the phone number that I knew a long time ago. Unfortunately, it hadn't been dialled for years.
***
After Chaiden left the room, he felt a little regret for what he had said. He felt that what he said to me was a bit too harsh. Because it seemed that Annette did not seem to have any problems.
As soon as she left the house, Annette yelled that she wanted to go to the mall to look at the limited edition bag. Chaiden had a moment of hesitation. But when he thought of my good behaviour on weekdays, he gradually put down his heart.
When he arrived at the mall, he took advantage of Annette’s attention to call Albert. He ordered Albert to go home and help himself to look at the state of Aurelie.
After hanging up the phone, Chaiden was completely at peace. He knew that Aurelie's matter could be handled by Albert alone.
Chaiden was very worried all day. All day long, he brought Annette to the mall. They were like a couple in their honeymoon period.
They spent the whole day in the shopping mall. When the sky darkened, Annette finally yelled that she was tired and wanted to go back.
After returning to the car, Chaiden breathed a sigh of relief. He then wanted to check his phone. When he picked up his cell phone, he found his notifications filled with a hundred missed calls. All from Albert.
Chaiden's heart sank at that moment. He then called back while starting the car.
The phone was answered right after it rang. Albert on the other end of the line was extremely panicked.
Albert explained, “Chaiden, it's not good. Aurelie has disappeared now. The hundreds of millions of liquid funds in the group's account have disappeared. I don't know where the reporters got the information. They are all blocking the entrance of the group right now, Chaiden.”
