Chapter 316 Annabelle Sows Discord Between Nolan and Jasmine.

The hotel.

Mitchell drove to pick them up.

Getting out of the car, Mitchell skillfully helped Ethan and Jasmine out of the car. "Ethan, Jasmine, please get in."

Jasmine wanted to laugh but held it back.

Ethan looked nonchalant, considering Mitchell had scammed him in more than one car, so it didn't matter that he was a driver for his wife.

Annabelle had a dark expression the whole time, looking very unpleasant.

"Daniel, you're quite a man. What are you doing? Taking a shortcut for Jasmine? Trying to hand Mr. Everhart's investment project over to Jasmine, showcasing your ex-boyfriend's abilities?" Annabelle turned around with a grim face, looking at Daniel standing beside her.

Daniel didn't even bother to respond to Annabelle.

"Daniel! We're all having dinner. Where did you go?" Angered by the thought that Daniel might not come back after leaving the banquet hall, Annabelle waited until Mrs. Everhart left before returning.

Clearly, Daniel wanted to avoid competing with Jasmine.

"Daniel!" Seeing Daniel's silence, Annabelle became even more furious.

She disregarded her ladylike image and angrily approached Daniel, grabbing his arm. "Say something! Aren't you afraid I'll tell your mom?"

Daniel frowned, shaking off Annabelle's arm. "Look at yourself now, acting like a jealous woman. It's not because of me, but Ethan!"

Annabelle, visibly upset, called Carmen in anger. "Mom, it's Annabelle."

"How did the dinner with the Everhart family go today?" Carmen asked.

"You'd better ask your good son. For the sake of Jasmine, he didn't show up the whole time, hiding in the bathroom. What a man." Annabelle's voice was low as she hung up.

She couldn't handle Daniel, but Carmen could.

Let Carmen discipline her son properly!

On the way back, Mitchell drove them through the outskirts of the city.

The scenery along the road was beautiful, and Jasmine looked out the window, her gaze wandering.

"Every day from now on, I'll be there to see the sights with you." Ethan held Jasmine's hand. He felt that she was still a bit thin, so he intended to persist in supplementing her nutrition.

Jasmine turned to look at Ethan, her eyes bright and nodded. "Okay."

Looking at Jasmine through the rearview mirror, Mitchell said, "Ethan, you really know how to show the sweetness of your marriage."

"Do you feel it now?" Ethan reached out to pull Jasmine into his arms, deliberately provoking her.

Mitchell snorted, "You can be smug here, but Mr. Everhart and William get along well. Mrs. Everhart and Coco have been friends for years. Once Annabelle goes back to cry a little, Coco will definitely protect her daughter."

Mitchell turned back and smiled at Ethan as if to say’I'm loyal enough, right? Let your wife take care of you.’

Ethan coughed and looked at Jasmine. "It doesn't matter. Even if I have nothing, I still have my wife."

Mitchell gritted his teeth, wanting to stop the car and throw Ethan out.

It was his inaugural recognition of Ethan's adeptness at displaying vulnerability.

Jasmine was a bit worried. "Mitchell is right. We should stay cautious until the contract for cooperation is signed."

Leaning on Ethan's shoulder, Jasmine thought for a moment. "Tomorrow, I'll personally visit the Cunningham family and pay a visit to Coco."

Coco publicly gave her that set of jewelry at the celebration. Aside from the publicity from the Cunningham Group, she must still like her.

"Take the little guy and Justin with you. Coco likes children." Ethan nodded, feeling anxious.

Was he conspiring with Mitchell against his wife?

Edward called Ethan today, saying Coco wanted to see Jasmine and Justin greatly, but they couldn't meet alone, so Ethan had to figure something out.

That necessitates Jasmine personally calling upon Coco for a 'favor.'

With a suitable excuse, Ethan sent Jasmine and Justin to Coco.

"Okay." Jasmine nodded.

The Cunningham family.

Annabelle returned to the Cunningham family overnight, clearly seeking help from Coco.

Mrs. Everhart and Coco were good friends, and she had fought for Coco's opportunity to attend this dinner.

Tonight, Mr. Everhart was more interested in Ethan.

Annabelle would definitely not let Ethan and Jasmine succeed. As a daughter, she would make Coco feel guilty and affectionate, helping her secure the investment project of the Everhart family.

"Mom, why are you still up so late?"

Returning home, Coco was still sitting on the sofa, her eyes slightly red.

Wiping away her tears, Coco casually slid her phone down, revealing a childhood photo of Annabelle. "Mom is looking at your childhood photos, feeling so fond."

Annabelle's heart stirred, feeling a sudden warmth. How felicitous it would be if Coco truly were her mother.

"Mom, don't cry, I'm back." Annabelle stepped forward, embracing Coco.

"Yes, you're back. I finally found you," Coco said meaningfully.

"Mom, today Daniel and I had dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Everhart, discussing a project," Annabelle said softly, trying to steer the conversation.

To her surprise, Coco huffed in anger. "Tell Daniel to treat you well, don't focus all his thoughts on work every day. You've just gotten married, you're both young, now is the time to build your relationship, go travel, see the world."

Coco asked Annabelle and Daniel to go out.

Annabelle shook her head. "Mom, it's my own busy work. I think it's more important to focus on one's career when you're young."

"Nonsense." Coco pretended to be stern. "I'm a good example. If I hadn't been so focused on my career and neglected my family, how could I have let Sophia take advantage of me?"

Annabelle's heart skipped a beat, and she felt she had touched on a sensitive point for Coco, so she quickly spoke up. "Mom, you're right."

"You've been tried. Go rest in your room. I'm getting old; sitting for a while tires me out." Coco got up and returned to her room.

Annabelle tried to speak several times but couldn't bring herself to say it.

After a moment of hesitation, she decided to bring it up tomorrow.

"Edward." As Coco went back to her room, Annabelle ran into Edward on the way upstairs.

Edward glanced at Annabelle, smiling faintly. "It's late. Why aren't you with your husband? Why did you run back to your mother's house? Did the people from the Douglas family treat you badly?"

Annabelle looked aggrieved, blushing and lowering her eyes, thinking it would be good if Edward could support her.

"Daniel has someone in his heart..." Annabelle said.

Edward frowned, looking angry. "Daniel? He's lucky to marry you. Does he still yearn for other women? What does he think of our Cunningham's Family?"

"He can't forget his first love. His ex-girlfriend is Jasmine, who is Nolan's assistant." Annabelle said softly.

She wanted to sow discord to make Edward go after Jasmine.

"Jasmine? The assistant of Nolan?" Edward asked.

Annabelle nodded.

Upstairs, Nolan happened to come out of his room, and now he was all ears at the mention of Jasmine's name. "What's wrong with Jasmine?"

"Daniel likes your assistant Jasmine." Edward leaned against the railing, teasingly looking at Nolan, wanting to see his reaction.

Nolan, seeing Annabelle's eyes red from crying, angrily spoke up,"Does Daniel believe that the Cunningham's family has become extinct?
"I heard from a few friends who knew Jasmine before that Jasmine can't forget Daniel and has been secretly trying to get close to him. I don't know if it's true." Annabelle wistfully dabbed at her tears.
