Chapter 42 Fragile Trust
However, Betty seemed to be determined not to let her see Nikki, so Ann waited outside persistently.
It was early in the morning, and Ann was still squatting beside the door, with her mind somewhat
clouded.
Her phone started ringing. Ann answered the phone immediately at the sight of Karl's number.
"Karl..."
Karl questioned, "Why are you still out? Are you at Phillip's place tonight? Ah, I see. You really have
two faces. You told me that you were innocent and then you ran to see another man at once!"
Ann felt increasingly downhearted at the sound of Karl's insult.
But for Nikki's sake, she still tried to cheer up to explain.
"Karl, I'm at your mum's place. I want to see Nikki. Let's talk about these face to face, okay?"
Karl seemed to be drunk and did not hear Ann's words.
"Tell me. How did you hook up with Phillip? Or have you been fooling me around all these years?"
Karl said sarcastically, "I've taken you as my goddess, yet you turned to other men behind my back. I
became the one who takes care of all these for you ... Ann, you're such a bitch!"
Ann turned pale at Karl's words.
She felt numb and freezing cold. She could not believe that the man she had always trusted would say
this.
She felt extremely dizzy and said to Karl in a weak voice with the last glimmer of hope.
"Karl, I'll come home now. Let's talk this over, face to face."
She still remembered that Karl had accompanied her through the darkest period of her five years
abroad.
He told her that everything in the past was not her fault, but the world's fault.
He also said that no matter what happened, he would trust her and stay by her side.
Originally, she had planned to bring up Nikki all by herself. It was Karl's care that had encouraged her
to start over.
But now, it seemed that everything was just a dream.
When she hurried back home, she did not see Karl. The furnishings in the room were a little messy.
Apparently, Karl had come back and left after discovering that she was not there.
Dispirited, she was about to go downstairs to the office to look for him, but she ran into the last person
she wanted to see at this time.
...
Jenny seemed to be waiting for her, and she raised her eyebrows and walked forward when she saw
Ann's pale and tired face.
"Ann, you looked really pale."
Ann did not have the mood to argue with Jenny at this time. She remained grim and was about to
leave, but Jenny blocked her way.
Jenny got closer to see Ann's haggard face and smiled impudently.
"Are you quarreling with my brother-in-law-to-be? It makes sense. Everyone would be angry if he knew
that his fiancée was cheating on him with another man more than once, wouldn't he?"
Stimulated by these words, Ann looked at Jenny and slightly narrowed her eyes.
"Did you take those photos?"
Jenny and Sansa lived in the same neighborhood as her. They had always been jealous of her. What
they did was entirely expected.
Jenny covered her mouth while smiling. "I've kindly reminded you before, but you took no notice. Now,
this is just a small lesson. If you don't want to lose all you have, you'd better obediently hand over all
the money your father left you!"
Jenny stopped smiling and became somewhat fierce when she was saying the last sentence.
In face of Jenny's threat, Ann was not so scared.
She just felt sorry for herself.
Not only Betty, but Karl would rather believe in Jenny than her. Karl didn't even know Jenny that well. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
