Chapter 480
Alexander didn’t have a good impression of Annabelle. He could tell that Annabelle had used the porcelain to accomplish her goals. It explained why she was so determined to get it fixed and why she was
willing to fork out a formidable amount of money for it. She wanted
to use it again.
How could he abet Annabelle’s evil plans?
“No one in my team can help you,” stated Alexander coldly.
His assistant said to Annabelle, “Ms. Green, let me show you out.”
Annabelle angrily clenched her jaw as she stared at Alexander. He
was cl
chasing her out. Not only did he have an odd disposition, but so did everyone else on his team. After all, they’d refused her
generous offer.
In the end, she left in disappointment.
Just as Annabelle left, Alexander called and said, “Use Annabelle as
the starting point for your investigation.”
Annabelle drove back home after leaving. A stack of medical reports. lay in her car, and uneasiness clogged her throat.
She’d guessed early on that Jeremy would have her abort the baby. However, she hadn’t expected how firm he was on the topic.
Ever since her porcelain vase shattered, she could feel him drawing away from her.

Annabelle would do everything to keep the child and make Jeremy
stay with her.
After she got home, she pulled out her phone and searched for
Natalie’s contact information. However, she had gotten blocked, and
her message couldn’t get through.
The last message in their chat was from Natalie. She’d threatened to
block Annabelle within the next ten minutes.
Initially, Annabelle had thought that Natalie’s curiosity would prevail.
Although she’d insisted that she’d block her, Annabelle believed that it was just an empty threat. Natalie wouldn’t do it for real. She hadn’t
expected Natalie to follow through.
She sent a friend request to Natalie using another account, along with
a direct message.
“Don’t you want to know Jeremy’s secret?”
After sending it, she received no response from Natalie for a long
time.
“Does your lack of curiosity stem from your confidence that Jeremy would never cheat on you? Aren’t you a little too confident, Natalie? What’s so special about you that makes Jeremy save himself for you? Just because of the fact that the both of you were childhood friends? I’ve never heard a success story from any couple of this
nature.
“Just you wait. Once my belly grows, you can watch as your husband becomes the father of my child! We’ll see how confident you are then!”
Jealousy enveloped Annabelle.

An hour later, Jeremy arrived. The second he walked in, he said emotionlessly, “Give me the reports.”
Annabelle passed him the reports with teary eyes while pleading, “Mr. Hughes, perhaps we are destined to keep the baby. After all, it’s a life. too. The one both of us made, no less. I never thought that we would
have children.
“I will still keep to the promises I made. I won’t bother you nor let the child disrupt your life. Please let me give birth to it. I promise I won’t let anyone know that it’s yours, alright?”
Her every word radiated desperation. However, Jeremy’s expression only turned colder by the minute. He looked through the medical reports. He even read the doctor’s advice.
“I’ve arranged for you to be taken for a re–examination to ensure that the baby will be aborted without causing harm to you,” said Jeremy.
Considering Annabelle’s condition, a regular obstetrics hospital might not have been able to guarantee that the operation would go smoothly. However, he knew doctors who could.
The color drained from Annabelle’s face. She asked, “Do you have to do that? The baby is a life too!”
She clasped her hands over her abdomen while cold sweat beaded
her forehead.
