Chapter 452

Natalie had blocked the person before. Initially, she thought it was a prank, that the person wouldn't do anything further after being blocked. However, while reading the direct messages, the image of Jeremy in the hot spring sprang to mind. She believed the picture was completely fake, photoshopped.

Natalie took a deep breath to clear her head. She shouldn't be thinking about that. Ultimately, she decided to find out what the woman was up to. Nothing happened after she added her. Natalie pushed it aside, threw her phone in her bag, and hurried out to buy cakes before rushing home.

Meanwhile, Annabelle fretted over the bodyguards downstairs. She needed to delay them. The child in her womb had to be protected at all costs; it was her last bargaining chip. Otherwise, she would be done for tomorrow morning once Jeremy took her to the hospital. There would be no chance of keeping the baby. Annabelle took a shower and, upon exiting the bathroom, scrolled through her phone.

Natalie had accepted her request. It seemed Natalie didn't trust Jeremy as much as she'd thought; otherwise, she wouldn't have accepted Annabelle's request. Initially, Annabelle had planned to take things slowly. A greater blow would be dealt to Natalie once Annabelle's belly swelled in later stages of pregnancy. Then, Jeremy would have no choice but to divorce Natalie and marry her.

However, she'd acted too rashly, telling him about her pregnancy before he left Yley City. She hadn't managed to keep her composure. This might also be due to what the Amazon seller told her, which worried her: even if pregnant, she might not deliver successfully.

She'd consulted the person who'd helped her rise to her current position. He said the future was written in her fate, but there was only a 70 percent chance she'd successfully give birth. The remaining 30 percent would be decided by destiny. She'd jumped into action but hadn't expected Jeremy to be so ruthless. Without Natalie, Jeremy definitely wouldn't have been so cruel.

She walked to the window and glanced downstairs. She couldn't see the two bodyguards, but she knew they hadn't left. They were under Jeremy's orders. He wanted her to have an abortion to prevent future problems and to keep Natalie in the dark about the baby.

Chapter 482

Why could Natalie live so peacefully while she suffered so much? Annabelle reflected on her experiences, thinking about how Jeremy treated her like a toy and how all her efforts were about to be wasted. Her jealousy of Natalie only intensified.

She took some ultrasound pictures and sent them to Natalie with the caption: "Jeremy is the father of this child. Whenever he went on a business trip these past few months, he spent time with me. Every time, he was aggressive. I know you can't satisfy him. Don't interfere in my relationship, Natalie. The child and I are the most important people to Jeremy."

Annabelle curled up on the couch. She wouldn't sleep tonight; she wanted to wait for Natalie's response and watch her react. Perhaps Natalie would seek her out. If that happened, everything would be exposed, and Annabelle wouldn't need to continue hiding in the shadows.
