Chapter 645
Annabelle had no idea Natalie would be so perceptive. Indeed,
wealthy men never fell for dumb, naïve girls. That only happened in
novels.
“Calling the police would be more helpful,” Natalie reminded once
more.
Annabelle inhaled deeply and said, “Whether you believe it or not, I am immersed in regret right now.”
She’d messed with someone she shouldn’t have and made a horrible mistake. If she hadn’t schemed against him, she might’ve had a successful career in the Hughes Group. Mason wouldn’t have sought her out either.
“Regret does not reverse what has happened,” Natalie stated
emotionlessly. She got out of bed with her phone in hand.
Suddenly, she felt like she couldn’t breathe. As she drew the curtains and was about to open the windows, she saw Jeremy. He’d come
home.
Annabelle probably realized that she wouldn’t achieve her goals no matter what she said. Thus, she hung up.
Natalie hadn’t turned on the lights upon getting out of bed.
When Jeremy looked up at her dark room, Natalie took a step back out of reflex.
The curtains were partially drawn. Perhaps Jeremy had seen her already.
Due to the darkness, she couldn’t discern Jeremy’s expression.
Not before long, she heard Jeremy coming upstairs.

His footsteps paused in front of her room. He’d clearly stopped for a few seconds before walking back into the master bedroom.
At that moment, Natalie was overwhelmed with the impulse to tell Jeremy that a divorce was the best thing they could give each other. They should set each other free.
However, she stopped after merely one step forward. She’d rather
wait.
Perhaps things might get better.
Gardner Group had been extremely busy for the past few days. Everyone was swamped. Skylar had been working overtime for two days in a row. She only came home around 9:00 pm.
Joe had picked her up last night.
He’d gone on an impromptu business trip and would only return two days later, so she worked another hour. When she said goodbye to Caleb in the parking lot, it was already 10:00 pm.
Her car was the only one left in the gigantic parking lot.
Skylar massaged her sore neck. After drinking a few gulps of water, she started the car.
A black figure appeared before her just as she was about to step on the gas.
Skylar raised her leg and looked in front of her.
It was a tall man. He seemed rather familiar. Skylar confirmed who he was quickly.
