Built His Empire Then Watched It Burn When He Cheated novel Chapter 786

Pepper had pictured many possible reactions from Anneliese.

This was not one of them.

A chill of panic crept up her spine, and the uneasy feeling in her chest grew heavier.

The next moment, Anneliese took out her phone and tapped the screen a few times.

Soon, a sharp woman's voice echoed through the living room.

"Ms. Sweeting, with the Fullbuster family's name and standards, someone like you will never be accepted into the family.

"As for Zane, he's had girlfriends before. Maybe not as many as two a year, but you're definitely not the only one.

"With his background, status, and ability, it's normal for young women to throw themselves at him. His family doesn't usually interfere with his relationships either. We even remind him to treat the girls he dates properly.

"That only means he can spoil them a little while they're together. He knows very well where the line is.

"That's why I've never worried about him. Most of his past relationships ended within half a year, and each girl walked away with a generous breakup settlement.

"Zane has always had decent taste. The girls before you all knew their limits and behaved sensibly. This time, it seems he chose badly."

After a short pause, the same voice continued coldly, "Leave within three days. I'll have someone keep an eye on you."

The voice was unmistakably Pepper's.

It was exactly what she had told Jessica that day when she barged into Jessica's hospital room and pretended to be Mary.

Jessica had recorded the whole conversation. After Anneliese found out, she asked Jessica to send the audio to her.

Since Jessica did not want Zane to know she was pregnant yet, Anneliese had trimmed the recording in advance.

Anything related to the pregnancy had been removed.

Anyway, Pepper and Gianna did not want Zane to find out either. They would not dare bring that part up.

The moment the recording ended, everyone in the room looked at Pepper.

Adrian's face was instantly transformed by shock, disappointment, and disgust, as if a years-long trust had suddenly been shattered before his eyes.

Pepper's head buzzed. Her lips trembled, but she still forced herself to deny it.

"How could there be a recording? It must be fake. Someone must have made it beforehand. I never said those things! Adrian, you have to believe me. Ms. Claude, you dare send it for inspection? That recording was clearly cut and edited!"

Pepper knew better than anyone what she had said that day.

D*mn it! This girl is ruthless.

She's trying to drag both the Fullbusters and the Shaymans into this.

The trouble with the Fullbusters hasn't even been settled yet.

If the Shaymans get involved too...
