When His Perfect Mask Shattered I Awoke (Anneliese) novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Countdown in the Sky

His name was Miles Warren. He wasn’t really a lawyer–he was one of Jessica’s business partners. He’d even pretended to be a network technician that day.

Anneliese gave him a thumbs–up.

Under her dazzling gaze, Miles‘ ears turned a little racd. He coughed lightly.

“You think she’ll actually agree to this?”

Anneliese’s lips curved faintly, her tone certain. “She will.”

Melody wasn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. After getting a proper scare, she was probably panicking over the thought of her son walking away with nothing or having half his assets taken.

Moreover, Melody had never liked her as a daughter–in–law. She always believed her son deserved someone better. A real high–society heiress. The kind worth billions. So, giving Anneliese 500 million? Melody could live with that.

Zacharias had betrayed her–Anneliese was determined to let him taste what it felt like to be stabbed in the back by someone he trusted most.

Seeing how confident she was, Miles raised his brows in amusement.

“Well then, cheers to your freedom, Annie.”

Anneliese’s smile widened. She raised her hand and gave him a high–five.

Just then, the elevator doors opened onto the first floor. As they stepped out, they almost bumped into Jonathan and a large group trailing behind him.

This time, it wasn’t just two people following him–there were several more.

Anneliese immediately noticed one man carrying a Nexa drone, another holding a laptop, and two doctors in white coats. One of the doctors was carrying a blood transport cooler.

The group moved quickly, tension thick in the air. People in the lobby instinctively stepped aside to let them through.

Anneliese also moved to one side, her eyes briefly locking with Jonathan’s.

His sharp, cool gaze slid past her without pause as he entered the elevator, the others close behind.

“What’s going on? That guy up front gives off serious boss energy… Annie?”

Miles called her back to reality. She blinked and followed him outside.

They were almost to the parking lot when a wave of reporters came running in the opposite direction, heading toward the hospital’s inpatient wing.

“Can we confirm the drone is going to launch from the inpatient wing?”

“Get the livestream ready–we’re already trending. We need to break this story first!”

“Has anyone been assigned to interview Mr. Fullbuster yet?”

Anneliese stopped in her tracks and turned toward the inpatient building. She pulled out her phone and opened the trending topics.
