Chapter 379 Ethan Beat Up Connor Again
The Cunningham family.
"Annabelle, the media recently caught Daniel entering a hotel with another woman. You should pay attention to this. Although it hasn't caused major trouble yet, it's still not a good look," Nolan said, looking a bit angry after seeing the news.
"Daniel was just socializing with a friend," Annabelle explained to Daniel.
Even if she didn't particularly like Daniel, she had to protect him in public.
After all, they were from the same family.
"Annabelle, remember, you are the daughter of the Cunningham family. You are destined to live a comfortable life. With Daniel and me around, we won't let you suffer, but your reputation is the most important thing, understand?" Nolan didn't demand much from Annabelle's career, just to protect her reputation.
"Have you heard anything, Nolan?" Annabelle was a bit anxious.
Nolan suddenly brought up these things today...
"As for the incident with Jasmine hitting you, don't dwell on it too much. Were you drinking that day? You suddenly hugged Ethan. As his wife, it's understandable that she would be upset if she was drunk. You were at fault first," Nolan said, reviewing the surveillance footage. "If Ethan decides to release the video, how do you think the public will react?"
Annabelle felt a bit guilty. She knew she had been impulsive that day, and there was surveillance footage. "Nolan, I know I was wrong."
"Especially in matters of relationships, you are already married. If a scandal breaks out, it will not only tarnish the reputation of the Cunningham family who may not care about these things, but also the Douglas family, your in-laws, they definitely care," Nolan sighed, "In the end, you will be the one at a loss."
As a brother, he genuinely wanted to advise Annabelle.
Annabelle nodded. "Nolan, I understand."
Nolan nodded. "You can discuss Alex's investment. It's going very well. Mom has convinced Willian, who has agreed to transfer the shares to you. They are meeting tomorrow at noon to sign the contract."
Annabelle was thrilled and looked at Nolan in surprise. "Really?"
But she felt she might be getting too excited, and her emotions were suppressed. "I thought Dad wouldn't want to give up the shares."
"He doesn't have a choice," Nolan said coldly,
"Also, at the socialite banquet tomorrow night, you should meet the eldest daughter of Everglow Innovations Hawthorne. We has an important collaboration with them, so it's good to make early contact," Nolan advised Annabelle to interact with outstanding individuals.
Annabelle nodded. "Okay, Nolan, you can rest assured."
"Good, go ahead."
Annabelle was happy and called Sophia as soon as she left the office. "I heard that Willian has agreed to give me the shares?"
"Yes, I had to talk a lot," Sophia was also happy, seemingly awaiting the final victory.
"Don't forget, once you have the shares, you need to transfer them to me as soon as possible," Sophia reminded Annabelle,
"Don't worry; I won't lose sight of the big picture over minor issues. I will naturally transfer them to you," Annabelle said with a meaningful smile,
She would give, but not all.
Annabelle was no fool.
Sophia wouldn't be so heartless, either.
After all, if Sophia's identity were exposed, it wouldn't be good for anyone.
Just as she hung up, Connor called.
Feeling good, Annabelle was a bit arrogant. When Connor contacted her at this time, it was natural that he wanted to indulge a bit.
"Annabelle, do you have time tonight?" Connor's voice was indifferent.
Annabelle's mind abruptly flashed to Everglow Innovations. Connor was from there too!
Smirking, Annabelle felt like even God was on her side.
Therefore, she had to win over Connor.
"I may not have time for an appointment with others, but it's different when it comes to you.. " Annabelle smiled.
"To avoid being seen, enter the hotel after midnight. I've already sent the room key to you. Remember not to be followed. I'll be waiting for you in the room," Connor reminded Annabelle repeatedly.
"Connor, do you really care so much about your reputation? I care more about my own reputation than you do." Annabelle laughed.
Of course, Annabelle would be cautious in everything.
"I really made the right choice with you," Connor said meaningfully, "Tonight, there will be a surprise."
Annabelle was already starting to feel excited, eager to know what surprise Connor had in store.
Connor Mental Hospital.
Ethan had arrived, and this time, he meant business.
Connor had figured out that Annabelle was plotting against the Wilson family, engaging in a public relations battle. Ethan would definitely suspect that Connor had informed Annabelle whose mind couldn't have come up with these schemes.
"Connor, let's fight," Ethan threw his coat on the sofa, closed the door, and punched Connor without a word.
The purpose of fighting Connor was to keep him from speaking.
"You know how much the public opinion affects Jasmine. It could cost her life if things get serious, yet you still let Annabelle and the Wilson family scheme against Jasmine!" Ethan's eyes were bloodshot as he punched Connor in the face.
Connor sighed, "Can you stop hitting my face?"
"You deserve it!" Ethan pinned Connor to the ground and continued to strike.
This time, Connor grabbed Ethan's wrist. "Isn't Jasmine no longer afraid now?"
"That's because I protected her well!" Ethan warned Connor sternly. "I don't care what game you're playing or where I've offended you, but if you lay a hand on Jasmine again, I won't spare you!"
Connor lay on the ground, wiping the blood from his mouth. "Do you want me to stop? Give Jasmine back to me."
"Say that again!" Ethan grabbed Connor by the collar.
"I knew Jasmine even before you did! I was the one who stayed by her side during those five years in prison!" Connor shouted at Ethan, pushing him away. "If it weren't for me, she would be dead! I gave Jasmine a new life!"
"Do you like Jasmine?" Ethan was even angrier and punched him again. "If you like her, why harm her?"
"I want Jasmine to know that without me, no one can protect her." Connor laughed somewhat maniacally.
Ethan just wanted to take Connor down now.
Outside the room, nurses and security guards rushed in, quickly separating Connor and Ethan.
If they continued fighting, it could turn into a homicide.
If something happened to Connor or Ethan, it would have a significant impact on Silverlight City.
"Connor, don't push me." Ethan picked up his coat and left.
Connor gestured to the people around him, saying that he was fine, and asked them to leave.
Sitting in a chair, Connor sighed and said nothing.
His phone rang, and he answered the call.
"Connor! Get back here!" It was Brian, his father.
Clearly, before Ethan came to beat him up, he had already gone to the Hawthornes to complain.
"Dad, I have something tonight. I'll be back tomorrow," Connor said.
"Tomorrow morning, I must see you!" Brian was very angry.
"Okay, Dad, don't be angry. Don't listen to Ethan's nonsense." Connor sounded a bit guilty.
"Do you even know what's going on?" Brian was extremely displeased and hung up directly.
Connor smiled, rubbed his forehead, and put down his phone.
Perhaps more than anyone else, Connor hoped that Jasmine could have a fresh start.
