His Hybrid Mate

Chapter 86

　　Marcus' words surprised Annette.

　　Didn't he tell her to stay away from Connor?

　　"I heard that Kyle set up a scoring system to target you. Tell Connor about it, and Connor will deal with him."

　　"I won't tell Connor about what happened to you today. And you don't tell him what Kyle has done to me." Annette's expression was a little serious.

　　Marcus said unhappily, "You still have feelings for Kyle?"

　　"No. Not at all. I just don't want to waste time and energy on someone who has nothing to do with me."

　　Marcus thought for a moment and said, "Fair enough. Let's keep each other's secrets in front of Connor."

　　Annette smiled and nodded.

　　She walked to the roadside and hailed a taxi.

　　Marcus was still standing at the roadside. Annette got into the car and asked him, "Don't you want to get in?"

　　Marcus held the car door and hesitated for a moment. "Luna, I'm sorry for what I did a few days ago. I won't do that again."

　　Annette was stunned for a moment. Before she could say anything, Marcus closed the car door and turned to leave.

　　She returned to school. Just as she entered the office, Sara said to her, "Annette, Kyle just asked for you."

　　Annette went to Kyle's office. She knocked on the door and then entered.

　　Kyle looked at her with a hint of regret in his eyes. He asked, "Why didn't you tell me that the kid is Alpha Connor's younger brother?"

　　Annette said, "Is it important who he is?"

　　"If you told me, I wouldn't have mistaken that he was your..."

　　Annette tilted her head and smiled, "I don't care about what you think. In any case, you will always believe in what you want to believe. Lena's miscarriage was an example, and so was my relationship with Connor. In your eyes, your opinion is more convincing. Even if I explained, you would not believe me. When you saw me walking side by side with another man, you would still think that I had slept with him. Kyle, I don't understand. Why are you looking at me with such a regretful expression? Do you want me to forgive you even if you misunderstood me? This way, will you feel better? I'm sorry. I'll let you down. If you have nothing to say, I'll go now. By the way, you can deduct my points. I'm fine with it."

　　Annette opened the door and left.

　　In the afternoon, it was almost time to get off work, and her phone rang.

　　It was a call from Jessica. Annette hung up the phone directly.

　　However, Jessica didn't give up. She called again and again. So Annette switched off her phone.

　　Annette walked out of school and saw Jessica's red sports car at the gate.

　　Jessica got out of the car. She took off her sunglasses and swayed to Annett, smiling brightly.

　　"Ann, my dear, do you know how long I have been waiting for you?"

　　Annette gritted her teeth and asked, "What are you trying to do now?"

　　"I'd like to have a cup of coffee with you."

　　"I don't want to drink coffee with you."

　　"You can ask Alpha Connor out. As long as he arrives, you can leave."

　　Annette's eyes were slightly cold. She said, "Jessica, shame on you. You try to pursue a man in such a way. Don't you think you are disgusting?"

　　"Is it disgusting? Don't you know pestering is also an efficient way?"

　　Annette walked past her and was about to leave.

　　Jessica was calm. She tapped her arm with her fingers and said, "If you don't do it, I will come every day until you agree. Do you want to see me every day? Or do you want me to tell everyone that you are Mr. Fisher's illegitimate daughter?"

　　Annette snorted and stopped. She walked in front of Jessica and stared straight into Jessica's eyes.

　　The disgust in her eyes had turned into indifference. She said, "Feel free to tell everyone about it. If everyone knows that I am Mr. Fisher's illegitimate daughter, I will have the right to fight for the property of the Fisher Group, right?"

　　"Dream on!"

　　"He is now the major shareholder of the Fisher Group, and I am his daughter."

　　Jessica was angry, and her face was getting ferocious.

　　Annette smiled disdainfully. She glanced at Jessica and turned to leave.

　　To deal with shameless people, she could only be more shameless than them.

　　Annette returned home. She was about to go into the kitchen when Connor called.

　　"I'm going to a banquet tonight. I can't go to your place for dinner."

　　Annette felt a little disappointed.

　　However, she said calmly, "Got it. I'll eat alone."

　　Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Connor added, "Do you want to attend the banquet with me?"

　　"No," Annette said, "I don't like that kind of occasion."

　　"Well, I'll go to you tomorrow night."

　　After hanging up the phone, Annette thought about it and picked up her bag to eat outside.

　　After dinner, Annette returned home. She took a shower and then lay on the bed. She turned on her phone and browsed the website.

　　The headlines suddenly appeared in her eyes.

　　The picture of Connor and the famous actress, Daphne, holding hands and attending the charity banquet, was exposed.

　　In the picture, Connor and Daphne were sitting close and whispering to each other.

　　Annette felt that it was an eyesore.

　　The media took the opportunity to make a big fuss. They released the news of Daphne and Connor going on a vacation in Hawaii a few months ago.

　　After reading the news, Annette patted her chest. She turned off the phone and was ready to sleep.

　　However, she kept turning over and thinking wildly.

　　She thought of how Connor had been sweet to her these days.

　　And the scene of him being with another woman today.

　　Annette covered her head with a blanket.

　　It would be good if Connor could shift his gaze away from her to another woman.

　　She sighed and closed her eyes.

　　At around ten o'clock, she heard someone opening the door.

　　Annette was still awake. She felt nervous and sat up immediately.

　　She got out of bed in the dark and walked to the corner to get the dumbbell she occasionally used.

　　Before she could open the door, someone opened it from outside.

　　Annette tiptoed to the back of the door.

　　At that moment, a figure flashed in.

　　He was tall, and if Annette fought him head-on, she wouldn't get a chance to win.

　　She raised the dumbbell and smashed it down.

　　Seeing that no one was on the bed, the man turned around.

　　He noticed the dumbbell and quickly dodged it.

　　Though he was fast, he failed to avoid it.

　　The dumbbell hit his shoulder heavily.
