Chapter 4: Meet With Caleb Taylor
Chapter 4: Meet With Caleb Taylor
"I heard that Mr Taylor had been admitted to the hospital. Rumour has it that he had drunk drugged
wine at the banquet yesterday. Miss, I'm sure Mr. Talylor didn't hit you on purpose..."
Bettina paid close attention to Annetta's expression as she spoke. Annetta, who had been wiping her
tears, suddenly looked up at her coldly, "Are you sure he drank drugged wine?"
She was not sure whether it was her own misperception, but Annetta's icy glare seemed to have seen
through her lie.
For a moment, she was stunned.
After that, she felt a chill on her face. Upon coming back to her senses, a gigantic face loomed in front
of her. It had terrifying bloodshot eyes, which glinted as if there was a knife hidden in them, and a smile
formed on the cracked lips.
Bettina screamed and fearfully took a step back.
When she had gotten over her shock, she realized that it was Annetta!
Annetta leaned back on the bed and looked at her with a faint smile.
The entire room was silent, and Bettina's heart pounded wildly.
However, the culprit sitting on the bed acted as if nothing had happened. She blinked her eyes and
asked, "What's wrong?"
"What, what were you doing just now?" Bettina felt resentful when she remembered how this idiot had
given her such a sudden scare.
"You didn't answer me, so I wanted to see if you were alright," Annetta said innocently. "I didn't scare
you, did I?"
How could Bettina admit that she had been terrified by this ugly monster? She hurriedly said, "No... You
couldn't have."
In her daze, Bettina saw that Annetta had already dried her tears. "So Caleb had been drugged. I knew
that he wouldn't do such a thing to me," Annetta said softly.
Bettina let out a sigh of relief. A second ago, she had felt as if the fool in front of her was different from
before. In reality, once an idiot, always an idiot!
Bettina immediately went along with the flow and said, "Of course he wouldn't. Mr. Taylor said that
there were people from the Harris family at the banquet he attended yesterday. He suspects that Young
Master Ethan's men tampered with his wine."
Bettina's words implied that Ethan was undoubtedly the one who had caused Caleb to run his car into
her.
In her previous life, she had believed Bettina's words and had forgiven Caleb.
Now that she thought about it, although Ethan had imprisoned and tortured her, he still did all these
things openly. He knew that she already regarded him as a monster, so why would he bother doing
something like this?
There was only one reason why Bettina would say such things. It was to make her relationship with
Ethan even worse.
In her previous life, Bettina had always pretended to be a good person. But in reality, she had secretly
tried to sow discord between Annetta and Ethan, making them incompatible.
Annetta did not say a word. Bettina leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Miss, let me tell you the
truth! Mr. Taylor is already aware of his mistake and is waiting at the door to apologize to you
personally."
Just like in her previous life, Bettina had already contacted Caleb. Every word she said had been to
tempt Annetta to meet with Caleb.
Annetta's lips flashed with a mocking smile, but she pretended to be surprised, "Really? Then let him in
quickly!" This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Bettina hesitated and said, "Miss, are you going to meet Mr. Taylor in the bedroom?"
"Why don't we meet him outside? But first, you will have to unchain me. Let me see what we can use to
break the chains!"
Annetta muttered, and then her eyes lit up.
She grabbed the blue and white porcelain bottle by the bedside, and before Bettina could stop her,
there was a loud 'clang!'
The vase smashed into the iron chain and shattered, cutting her fair skin and making her bleed.
