Chapter 566
It was Jeremy calling Skylar.
Skylar didn’t answer his call right away. She wondered why Jeremy was calling her. She then thought the reason was likely related to Natalie.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she answered, “Mr. Hughes.”
“I know you work with Mr. Gardner Senior and have helped Mr. Doherty Senior. I need your assistance with something.” Jeremy’s voice was serious.
Skylar suddenly realized something. “Mr. Hughes, please be direct.”
Since Jeremy mentioned Alexander and Frank, it wasn’t about asking her to convince Natalie. Jeremy’s phone call made her remember something she had overlooked recently.
“I have some items here that seem out of place. Should I send them over for you to see, or would you prefer I send you some photos?” Jeremy asked.
Without hesitation, Skylar replied, “Please send me the photos first.
Jeremy didn’t have Skylar’s WhatsApp, so he first added her
contact. Then, he sent her the photos.
There were seven or eight items in total. She had seen two or three of them before.
Someone had previously asked Skylar about these items, but she had turned down those orders. One of the items was a bracelet she had seen Anabelle wearing.

Skylar’s gaze turned serious as she immediately called Jeremy back. “These items belong to Annabelle, don’t they?”
Though her tone was questioning, Skylar’s statement was certain.
Jeremy didn’t hide anything. “Yes, these items belong to her.”
Skylar was quick to explain, “You guessed correctly. These items are problematic. You can’t resist the temptation because those items could confuse your mind.
“If
your willpower isn’t strong enough, even the slightest wavering will lead to their influence. In other words, it’s not Annabelle as a person who is tempting you, but these items themselves,” Skylar explained.
Jeremy’s expression changed. Thankfully, the phone call
prevented Skylar from seeing his sudden shift in demeanor. “So,
it’s true!”
Annabelle was really something. She had used these peculiar
items on him.
“These items are designed to confuse the mind and make it easy to lose rational control. They are similar to a type of drug currently popular in Murida that causes hallucinations. But Mr. Hughes, your willpower was compromised, which is why you were influenced by these negative items,” Skylar said gravely.
Although Jeremy felt wronged by how Annabelle had used these items to sway his will, it also highlighted something crucial. It indicated that his feelings for Natalie were not as strong as they once were during the period he was tempted.
Skylar wanted to remind Jeremy not to place all the blame on others. It wouldn’t be fair to Natalie otherwise.
Jeremy remained silent for a full minute before responding heavily, “I don’t intend to make excuses. I’m the one who made mistakes, but divorce is not an option. I won’t let go and will make it up to her.
Hearing Jeremy’s firm tone, Skylar frowned.
“Thank you for the information.” Jeremy ended the call. Then, he immediately called Tristan. “Bring Annabelle back.”
