Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 22 Give Me 1.5 Billion Dollars

Upon listening to Kent’s analysis, Abigail narrowed her eyes. “All right. Let’s do this!”

She thought, “There’s no way I’m going to pick Benjamin. Besides, Julian and Alexander are on par with each other since they each have their respective supporters. To increase Alexander’s chances of winning, all I need to do is to oppress Annalise continuously. If everything goes well, I’ll become the lady of the Parks family in Jadeborough!”

With that in mind, she replied to Alexander’s message: “But, how about the wedding proposal? Is there not going to be one?”

Alexander texted back: “Just wait. You’ll get a surprise tomorrow!”

Abigail responded: “Okay! Love you!”

Upstairs, Annalise received a call from an unknown number after her shower.

“Hello? Who is this?” Annalise spoke into the phone while applying lotion to her body.

It was not unusual for her to answer calls from strangers because she was working on several business projects and had to deal with many people whom she might not know personally.

Upon hearing that, the person on the other end of the line said with disgust, “It’s me, Tony.”

Annalise knitted her brows. She continued massaging her body with lotion and said in a calm voice, “How can I help you?”

She thought, “Julian was right. Tony has approached me. Thank goodness Julian warned me about Tony. At least now I know how I should handle him.”

Abigail was ready to give it to Tony should he go overboard.

Tony said, “Meet me at Palm Rock Cafe tomorrow at noon.”

“I’m not available tomorrow. Sorry!” Annalise turned him down.

A vortex of anger swirled inside Tony. “Julian and you are now married, and I’m Julian’s dad. Can’t I ask you a few questions?”

“All right,” Annalise agreed reluctantly.
