His Hybrid Mate

Chapter 191

　　At the same time, the outside world was not peaceful.

　　When Austin returned, he came to the Norman Group immediately.

　　He wanted to see Connor.

　　Connor's secretary ushered Austin upstairs and left him there alone.

　　More than two hours later, Connor walked out of the meeting room and came to the reception room.

　　He sat opposite Austin, and his lips curled into a cold smile.

　　Austin clenched his fists. "Connor, as Annette's brother, I request you to return Annette to the Black Thorn Pack immediately."

　　"Annette's brother? You?"

　　Connor looked at Austin mockingly. "Austin, do you think that no one knows your secret?"

　　Austin was stunned for a moment.

　　Soon, he said in a deep voice, "What do you know?"

　　"The members of the Black Thorn Pack all curse Annette as a bastard, and they don't know that you are the real bastard. Do you have the right to call yourself Annette's brother?"

　　Austin felt that he almost couldn't breathe at that moment.

　　Connor stared at Austin as if he was the victor.

　　"Austin, I know what you think when you get close to Annette in her brother's name. Annette doesn't know it, but it doesn't mean I don't know either. I can tell you frankly. You will never get Annette in your life."

　　Austin slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Connor.

　　There seemed to be strong killing intent in their eyes.

　　Connor sneered. "The Black Thorn Pack were indeed powerful in the past. Unfortunately, its former Alpha did not give birth to a useful daughter. In your generation, the Black Thorn Pack can no longer be my match. It is time to repay the debt that your vicious mother owes. I will let you watch how the business empire of the Black Thorn Pack collapses and how the woman you love lives a happy life with me. I will make you remember for a lifetime that you are a loser."

　　"Connor, don't go too far!"

　　Connor snorted. "So what? Can you stop me?"

　　Austin gritted his teeth in anger.

　　Connor knew Annette well.

　　He was like a ruler, calculating and controlling everything behind the curtain.

　　In front of him, Austin seemed to have no chance of winning.

　　Austin was unconvinced.

　　He cast a cold look at Connor. He then stood up and left without looking back.

　　He believed that he could think of a way to deal with Connor.

　　Connor was in a good mood as he watched Austin leave.

　　He got up and returned to his office to call Annette.

　　Annette was reading a book at home.

　　"I asked Dwayne to tell you not to read the news. Did you do it?"

　　Annette said, "I am an adult. I understand that you don't want me to get mad. I appreciate it, but I'm not stupid."

　　"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Connor was in a good mood.

　　Annette asked, "Do you want to eat with me?"

　　Connor raised his wrist to look at the watch. He said, "In another forty minutes, I will appear in front of you. You can start looking forward to it now."

　　Annette was speechless. Connor was more and more fond of flirting with her.

　　After hanging up the phone, she subconsciously checked the time on the phone. It was half past ten.

　　At eleven o'clock, she stood up and tidied up her messy hair in front of the mirror.

　　In the past, she didn't care about these details at all.

　　But now, because of Connor, she paid more attention to her appearance.

　　Suddenly, Annette's phone rang again.

　　She thought it was Connor calling again, yet it was a call from Catherine.

　　She picked up the phone and asked, "Catherine, what's the matter?"

　　"Annette, bad news. Jessica just held a press conference. At first, she asked someone to take me there and wanted me to slander you in public and prove that you are a cheap woman. Other than me, she also bribed Thea. I didn't agree with Jessica, and she asked her men to keep an eye on me and stop me from going out. She took Thea away. I don't know what she talked to Thea about. Thea hasn't been working recently, so I am afraid that she will probably take Jessica's money and say something bad about you. What should we do?"

　　Annette took a deep breath and comforted Catherine calmly, "Catherine, thank you for being on my side. I will make it up to you."

　　"It's not time for that. Hurry up and think of a way. Public opinion has been against you in the past few days."

　　"I understand. Thank you."

　　When Annette hung up the phone, a piece of news popped up.

　　She clicked it and found that it was a video of Jessica at a press conference.

　　In the video, Jessica sat in front of the camera with a pale face. Her eyes were red and swollen as if she had been crying.

　　She held the microphone and said in a choked voice, "I don't want to reiterate my relationship. I feel tired of my life. Not long ago, I was diagnosed with depression. I need a quiet and peaceful life. So, I hope that you will stop pestering me. I can't give you any answers."

　　As soon as Jessica finished her words, Annette heard a familiar voice in the crowd.

　　It was Thea.

　　"Ms. Fisher, I support you. The woman who snatched your beloved man away once made me lose my job, so I know very well that she is a bitch. A kind person like you will be no match for her. But you must stay strong."

　　A reporter took the opportunity to ask Thea, "Miss, why do you support Ms. Fisher?"

　　"I just think that Ms. Fisher is pitiful, so I want to speak up for her. Ms. Fisher, we support you. The woman who stepped into your relationship will pay for what she did."

　　Annette suddenly laughed out loud.

　　She thought, 'Does Thea think that she can mess with me like that?'

　　Just as she was about to quit the video, she saw a funny scene.

　　Because of Thea's support, Jessica stood up with her hands on the table.

　　Jessica nodded at Thea to thank her and then passed out.

　　The scene was a mess for a while, and the video ended.

　　Annette rubbed her forehead and found it funny.

　　Jessica and the others did not mention Annette's name from beginning to end, yet all the contradictions were directed at her.

　　Annette was not worried about it.

　　Anyway, her reputation was bad. Could it become worse?

　　A few minutes after she finished watching the video, Connor opened the door and entered the bedroom.

　　"What's wrong?"

　　Annette turned on the video and handed the phone to him. She also told him what Catherine had said just now.

　　"The people of the Black Thorn Pack are capable of anything."

　　Annette pulled Connor's sleeve and pretended to be pitiful. "Mr. Norman, I can't stand it. Can I borrow Hari for a while?"

　　Connor smiled at her lovingly. He said, "Call me hubby."

　　Annette pushed away his hand that was about to touch her head. She said snappily, "Connor, it was you who provoked her."

　　Connor poked her forehead and said resignedly, "Don't be jealous. I don't like that kind of woman. What do you want Hari to do for you?"

　　Annette said, "It's simple. Since Jessica bribed someone to discredit me, she must leave evidence. As long as we find the evidence that she bribed Thea, we can prove their true faces."

　　"Smart move. To prove our innocence, we can take the initiative to show the evidence that we are not the people in the video. Then, we can use the evidence that Hari found to teach them a lesson."
