His Hybrid Mate

Chapter 187

　　At noon, Annette went to the cafeteria with Sara.

　　Before she finished her lunch, Catherine called her.

　　She picked up the phone and said, "Catherine."

　　"Annette, can you talk now?"

　　Annette looked at Sara and smiled. She nodded and said, "Yes. What's the matter?"

　　"I just want to ask, is there any conflict between you and our president's sister?"

　　Annette asked in confusion, "You mean Jessica?"

　　"Yes."

　　Annette did not answer Catherine's question. Instead, she asked, "Did something happen?"

　　"This morning, Jessica came to me. The topics she talked about were all related to you. She asked me what my relationship was with you, and I said that I was your friend. She said that she knew about the conflict between us in the Norman Group. It seems that she has investigated us and is trying to sow discord between us."

　　Annette's eyes darkened a little.

　　She thought, 'I met Catherine yesterday, and Jessica went to Catherine the next day.

　　Did Jessica have someone stalk me?'

　　"What else did she say?"

　　"She asked me if I wanted to take revenge. She could help me. I said I didn't need her help because it was all in the past. However, she seemed to be unwilling to give up and even made an appointment with me to go shopping on Saturday. Of course, I refused. I was worried that she would use me to target you."

　　"Catherine, thank you for telling me these."

　　"That's alright. I always feel that I owe you. I'm glad that I can help."

　　Annette smiled, "If you help me, aren't you afraid of losing your job?"

　　"I am indeed a little worried. But with the current situation of the Fisher Group, maybe it will be my turn to be fired soon. Instead of being worried all the time, it is better to be quick."

　　Annette nodded. "Let me know if Jessica makes things difficult for you. I'll ask Connor to help you find another job."

　　Catherine was touched and said, "Thank you, Annette."

　　"You are welcome."

　　After hanging up the phone, Annette called Connor.

　　Picking up the phone, Connor said in a good mood, "You took the initiative to call me. I guess you won't ask me out for a meal. What's the matter?"

　　Annette asked in an unfriendly tone, "Let me ask you, when are you going to marry Jessica?"

　　"Who am I going to marry?"

　　Annette said unhappily, "The Fisher Group has been spreading the rumor that Jessica will marry you soon, but you don't stand out to clarify it. Aren't you going to marry her?"

　　Connor laughed. "You are right. It is my fault. I will clarify it now."

　　"Does it have anything to do with me?"

　　With that, Annette hung up angrily.

　　Connor listened to the busy tone from the other side of the line, and the corner of his lips curled into a smile.

　　"Hari, get the financial reporters to me in the afternoon."

　　Hari was stunned for a moment. Then, he quickly said, "Yes. I'm on it."

　　Hari was puzzled and thought, 'The financial reporters have been here countless times, but Alpha Connor refused to accept an interview. What's going on?'

　　He could not think it through.

　　In the school cafeteria, seeing Annette hang up the phone, Sara could not help but sigh, "You are such a badass!"

　　Annette smiled embarrassedly. "Come on."

　　"You are. To be honest, I was afraid of Mr. Norman when I saw him, but you can talk to him with such an attitude. Don't you think you are a badass?"

　　Annette hesitated and asked, "Does he look that scary?"

　　Sara gestured at her face a few times and said, "He is not scary but indifferent. In short, he is not the type that people are willing to approach."

　　Annette covered her mouth and snickered.

　　It was almost time to get off work in the afternoon. Annette was planning to go to the classroom to take a look. If there was nothing else, she would get off work early.

　　Alanna, who was sitting opposite Annette, suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! Annette."

　　Annette looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong, Alanna?"

　　Sara also looked at Alanna. "Alanna, what happened? You scared me."

　　Alanna took off her earphones and turned to Annette. "There is big news."

　　She turned up the volume of the video and then walked to Annette and Sara.

　　"I can't describe my feelings. Watch it yourself."

　　Annette and Sara turned their gaze to Alanna's phone.

　　In the video, Connor was interviewed by a reporter.

　　The reporter first asked some questions about Connor's personal affairs and the management of the company.

　　When the interview was about to end, the reporter asked, "Mr. Norman, I would like to ask a question on behalf of the young ladies."

　　Connor nodded and said, "Please."

　　"What kind of girl do you like the most?"

　　Connor said without thinking, "I like my wife the most."

　　The reporter was stunned. It was shocking news!

　　"Mr. Norman, are you married?"

　　Connor smiled meaningfully and said, "My wife wants to keep our marriage a secret, so I won't answer your question. In addition, I want to make it clear that my wife is not surnamed Fisher. OK, today's interview will end here."

　　Annette stared at the screen, and her face darkened.

　　She cursed in her heart, 'Connor is just a bastard! He said that he would not answer the question, yet he announced to the world that he is married!'

　　"Annette, you are so tight-lipped. How can you even hide it from us?" Alanna said as she held Annette's hand.

　　Annette was embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I don't want to disclose it for the time being. I didn't expect it."

　　Alanna was more excited than Annette. She said, "I don't care. You have to treat us to a big meal. We should celebrate. Don't you think so, Sara?"

　　Sara tried to hold back her smile. "You had a meal with Mr. Norman last time. When you came to work the next day, you complained that you had indigestion. Did you forget it?"

　　Alanna was embarrassed. She quickly said, "I've never eaten such expensive food before. That's understandable."

　　Sara chuckled. "Me too."

　　Suddenly, Annette's phone rang.

　　She frowned when she saw the caller ID. She stood up and went out of the office.

　　She walked to a corner with no one around and picked up her phone.

　　"Are you married to Alpha Connor?" Jessica asked anxiously.

　　Annette raised her eyebrows and said, "It's none of your business."

　　"Annette, you are the daughter of a home wrecker. You are not qualified to marry Alpha Connor!"

　　Annette smiled disdainfully. "It's not up to you whether I am qualified or not. Jessica, do you think that you can change your life just by spreading rumors about you and Connor? I've told you countless times that Connor will never like you."

　　"Just wait and see. I won't let you have a good time."

　　Jessica hung up the phone after she finished her words.

　　Annette walked to the window and sighed softly.

　　She believed that even if Connor announced their marriage, he would have a way to hide her well.

　　Therefore, she had never expected that she would be exposed by the reporters.

　　Moreover, it was in such a short time.
