Chapter 2 Her Uncle Called

As she met Julian’s earnest gaze, Annalise almost agreed to his suggestion.

However, she immediately regained her senses and rejected coldly, “I’m sorry, but I’m not interested.”

She would think of a way to get back the inheritance left for her by her mother, which her uncle, Kent Barton, had seized from her.

When the elevator reached the first floor, she pushed Julian’s hand aside.

However, he moved quicker than she expected, quickly pulling Annalise and trapping her against the elevator’s wall again. Then, he reached out his hand and pressed the button for the twentieth floor.

The elevator went up slowly again.

Annalise was infuriated as she cursed inwardly, “This bastard. You asked for it, so don’t blame me for what happens next!”

She was just looking for an outlet to vent her anger.

Twisting her neck left and right, she released popping sounds from her neck joint and raised her knee abruptly.

However, the image of him hunching over in pain upon impact did not greet her eyes.

Instead, Julian swiftly dodged Annalise’s attack.

Annalise’s eyes instantly turned serious, and she immediately elbowed Julian’s chest.

“Ugh!” he grunted painfully, as he did not manage to avoid the blow this time.

Bam!

Annalise showed no mercy as she struck him on the chest with her other elbow.

“Ouch!” Julian groaned, clutching his chest.

Annalise warned, “Be more polite when you treat women in the future. I was pretty lenient on you this time. Next time, you won’t be so lucky if you meet someone who has a bad temper.”

“Hey, you should consider my suggestion! We will help each other out for just three months. Besides, since I obviously won’t be able to win against you in a fight, you won’t have to worry about me taking advantage of you either,” Julian said, still clutching his chest.

“Huh! This woman’s more interesting than my report showed,” he thought.

Just then, Annalise frowned as she recalled what Abigail had said to Benjamin earlier. “What if she found out that everything you’d done for her was actually to help me get the shares her mother left her?” Abigail had asked Benjamin.

Then, the words Benjamin had spoken to Annalise flashed across her mind as well. “Annalise, your family has a marriage contract with the son of the Parks family of Jadeborough. If Abigail does not marry him, then you will have to…”

There was no way Annalise would marry a fifty-two-year-old man. However, Benjamin had a point. Moonlight Group, which was left for her by her mother, was now managed by her uncle, Kent. Thus, Annalise had limited
