The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 651Zachary said slowly, "You could try."

"Fine," Steven replied stonily and hung up. He knew calling Annalise was redundant because she had blocked his number long ago. As such, he dialed Zane's number instead.

When Zane saw Steven's name on the caller ID, he asked oddly, "Why are you calling me at this hour?"

"Could you pass the phone to Annalise? I need to speak with her. It's about Zachary," Steven said courteously.

Zane glanced at me. I took a deep breath but did not refuse to speak with Steven. Taking the phone from Zane, I coldly asked, "What is it? Get to the point."

"Do you have any idea what Zachary did today, Annalise?" Steven demanded angrily.

"No," I answered indifferently.

I could tell he was suppressing his rage as he bit out, "Go on the internet and see for yourself! I'll bring Zachary over to the Huxham residence later. You'd better get the facts straight before you decide whose side you're on!"

He didn't bother waiting for my response before hanging up.
