Chapter 325 Annabelle is Trying to Cause Trouble Again
Nolan’sbrow furrowed. "Retaliation?"
Annabelle nodded. "In any case, you should be careful. She approached Daniel a few days ago, seeking reconciliation, claiming that the Douglas family has disowned Ethan and is now worthless."
Nolan looked at Jasmine with suspicion. She actually uttered such words.
"I've always considered her a good friend and never doubted her. But this time, she's gone too far. Look at the messages she sent to Daniel; they were all about money. I'm her friend, and I'm married to Daniel. How could she do this?" Annabelle handed her phone to Nolan, showing him several Facebook screenshots, of which the profile picture was the same as Jasmine's, even though their Facebook names were identical.
Looking at the screenshots, Nolan felt angry. "I've always said that Jasmine is opportunistic. She's a smart woman who knows who can benefit her."
"Nolan, don't tell anyone about this for now. Jasmine is still my friend. Let's give her a chance to change," Annabelle sighed.
Nolan frowned. "You're too kind."
Annabelle's eyes reddened. "I just feel sorry for Ethan. I used to like him so much, but Jasmine deceived him and humiliated me in public."
"Ethan is not worthy of you ," Nolan said, feeling angry whenever Ethan was mentioned. He thought Ethan was just a troublemaker.
"Nolan, I only have you now," Annabelle choked up.
"Don't cry. Since you're back, I'll protect you. Jasmine is just a woman driven by self-interest. She won't pose any threat to you. I'll keep an eye on her for you,"Nolan reassured Annabelle.
Annabelle smiled, and she nodded in agreement.
Fortunately, Nolan was on the same page as her.
She gradually made Nolan misunderstand Jasmine and drove her out of the Cunningham Group, she would no longer be afraid.
Annabelle looked at Ethan with cold eyes and thought, 'You are truly an uncouth individual.'
"Let's have lunch here. The housekeeper is on leave. Where's the new housekeeper you hired? Why hasn't she arrived yet?" Edgar, who had just returned from his workout, asked.
Nolan glanced at the time. "She should be here soon."
Seeing Jasmine, Edgar smiled, rushing over. "Jasmine, you're here!"
Ethan unceremoniously raised his hand to stop Edgar. "Calm down."
Edgar snorted. "Why are you everywhere? Can you not come here?"
"No," Ethan provocatively replied.
"Jasmine, what do you like him? Forget him. Marry me. I'll give you whatever you want," Edgar persisted in proposing to Jasmine.
"You can give up on that idea," Ethan and Edward said in unison.
Edgar lay on the sofa, feeling resentful, ignoring everyone.
Jasmine chuckled, setting next to Ethan.
Edgar felt even more upset seeing them deliberately showing affection.
"Mr. Nolan, I'm sorry I'm late. There was traffic, and the bus was slow," Luna, who had gone to buy fresh ingredients early in the morning, rushed in with a bunch of things, quickly apologizing. "I'm sorry, Mr. Nolan."
Nolan waved his hand. "It's okay. Go and cook."
Luna passed through the living room and gave Jasmine a meaningful look.
Jasmine remained unfazed. Luna has some connections.
Next, let's see how Luna gradually exposed Sophia's true colors. These things couldn’t be completed on time.
They had to take it slow.
Someone like Sophia, who had endured so much for years to retaliate against the Cunningham family, must have a more sophisticated plan. They absolutely couldn’t alert her.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you shall not be defeated.
Luna had already become Jasmine's informant, so at least Sophia could be mentally prepared before Luna did anything.
This would make it much easier to deal with Sophia later on.
"Nolan, how do you know Luna?" Edgar noticed that Luna was here to cook and asked as he got up.
"She's an intern who recently joined the company. Her cooking is pretty good," Nolan commented.
"How do you know that ?" Edgar stared.
Nolan snorted. " She brought me breakfast a few times for turning my favor . It would be a waste to throw it away, so I took a few bites."
Edgar filled with shock.. "Nolan, you never eat food made by others. There's something with you."
"I think there's something wrong with your head. Get lost," Nolan retorted.
Edgar snorted. "I knew it. You definitely have othermotives for Luna."
"Stop talking nonsense, you idiot," Nolan told Edgar to get lost.
He was well aware that Luna was deliberately getting close to him. Since she was doing so, he would play along, giving her the impression that he trusted her. He wanted to see what her next move would be.
Moreover, Nolan had already hired a private investigator to look into Luna, only to find some connection between she and Sophia.
Nolan looked at Luna, who was cooking, with cold eyes, tapping his fingers on the table.
Sophia had become bold enough to plant people around him .
"Mom, Nolan is about to start a relationship," Edgar, always one to stir up trouble, ran to tell Coco.
"And Nolan's way of showing affection is to make the other person suffer, making she buy groceries and cook, even on their days off," Edgar reported. Coco sighed.
"Forgive Nolan. He almost suffocated when he was born, which affected his brain and emotional intelligence." Coco replied.
Edgar laughed smugly. "Mom, you're right."
In Betty's residence.
She and Richard had been busy all night, and both woke up the next day.
At the moment, they had solidified their couple’s relationship
"Richard spent the night in boss's room and didn't come out!"
"Big news, big news!"
Outside, the security team gathered together, each one excited. "It had to be our Richard!"
"It's already 10.00a.m.,, and the boss is still in bed, and Richard too. How intense was last night's battle?"
As they chatted excitedly, Richard, in his robe, coughed, running his hand through his hair. "Ryder, go buy me some clothes."
Ryder smiled cunningly, teasing, "Richard, is it really that intense? Did you tear all your clothes? Are you and the boss not hiding anymore? Are you two just satisfying your physical needs, or are you in love?"
Others also perked up and listened, excitedly stomping their feet.
Richard's ears turned red. How was he supposed to explain this?
"Are you all so free?" Betty, in slippers and pajamas, also walked out, hugged Richard from behind, and shook the ring on her hand. "See? We're married."
Ryder thought Betty was joking, but since they were both wearing couple rings, they must be in a relationship.
"Richard! Don't forget your roots!" After saying that, several people ran off.
Richard sighed helplessly.
Betty smiled and hugged Richard tightly. "I love you."
Richard turned around and rubbed Betty's waist. He said, "You deserve it."
He had gotten up at 6.00 a.m.,to go for a run, but Betty tore his shirt and pants, making him exercise in bed.
Richard's phone rang, and he answered it. It was the hospital’s call.
"Hello, is this Aurora's family? sheis very agitated, and we can't calm her down. Can you come and see her?"
