Chapter 575 Scheme

The sharp dagger cut through the air, aiming straight at Gwendolyn’s face.

However, just as the blade was about to make contact with Gwendolyn’s skin, she forcefully grasped Annie’s wrist.

Annie stared at Gwendolyn’s hands, which were supposed to be bound behind her back, in slight shock. “How is it possible that you’re not tied up?”

When she pressed Gwendolyn’s thumb against the document earlier, she had checked and ensured the ropes were tight.

Gwendolyn spread her hand and showed Annie the small blade in her left palm.

Clarity washed over Annie instantaneously. “Sienna was indeed putting up an act with you. You’re so cunning, Gwendolyn.”

Gwendolyn snorted, swiftly disarming Annie, and gripped the latter’s throat. She raised her right hand and swung it at Annie’s delicate face, slapping her mercilessly.

Having been slapped the second time on the same side of her face, Annie screamed in pain, “Let go of me, Gwendolyn Harris!”

“Who are you to call me by my name?” Gwendolyn looked at her coldly. “You’d never know who has the upper hand until the very last moment.”

After saying that, Gwendolyn slapped Annie again twice with all her might.

The corner of Annie’s lips cracked and bled, causing her to look miserable.

Panicking, she turned to the door and yelled like a crazy person, “Help! Someone, help! Paul!”

However, no matter how hard she tried calling for help, there was not a single sound outside.

Gwendolyn regarded Annie with a mocking expression. “Paul has toyed with so many girls. Even though you’re his latest favorite, how much do you really matter to him? You’ll find out soon.”

Following that, Gwendolyn made her move again, effortlessly pinning Annie’s hands behind her back and swiftly tying Annie up with the rope Annie used to bind her. She then viciously yanked at Annie’s hair, forcing Annie to get on her feet.
