Chapter 207
A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 207 The mention of âBrother Huot caused Vincentâs bones to dissolve.
His Adamâs apple bobbed, and he was visibly affected by the word âbrotherâ.
Tears of crystal cascaded from the red eyes and tail, rippling deep and shallow into the lake of his heart.
In an instant, he forgot the last time she had abandoned him and fled.
âSister-in-law?â Vincent narrowed his eyes and used his calloused fingers to wipe away the tears on her face. âChloe gave it to you?â
Annie nodded vigorously, her nose tip rosy.
âWhere did you misplace it? Here?â
Annie nodded vigorously, her eyes still red âDonât worry, brother will help you.â
Vincent and Annie, hand-in-hand, slowly ascended the stage, in full view of the audience.
A dreamy, dark-red light trailed them, illuminating them like a renowned masterpiece.
Annie lowered her eyebrows timidly, yet she couldnât help but steal a covert glance at him.
Brother Huo may look a bit intimidating, but he is actually quite handsome.
The strong and noble face, the vision hunting, was unparalleled in the world.
Annie pursed her lips, her twinkling eyes outlining the handsome face between the manâs eyebrows. She lovingly painted the image of his face in her heart.
âStop the music!â
Vincent, standing in the DJ position, picked up the microphone and, in a single breath, uttered three words that immediately silenced the formerly boiling place.
Zoey and Skyler were happily playing until someone reminded them, upon which they both glanced at the screen.
In an instant, Zoey sprang up from the couch and let out an enraged scream!
Everyone shivered in fear, thinking she had been possessed.
Seeing Annie and Vincent standing side by side, with Young Master Anderson holding her hand as if no one else existed, Skylerâs anger was so intense that her chest felt like it was about to burst and her mind went blank!
He openly held her hand, gazing at her affectionately as if no one else existed in their world..
Might it be that he was expressing his love in front of everyone?!
Annie,, that little bitch!
If you dare to steal my people, I will ensure you die an ugly death!
âWhat in the world is happening?! How could my older brother be with that idiot? Explain!â
Zoey summoned her bodyguard and, with her crimson eyes, inquired, âDidnât I instruct you to monitor that knave? How could you permit her to encounter my brother?â
âSecond Miss, take a deep breath... I was watching her the entire time, but I didnât anticipate that the eldest young master would show up today. ACE is running around, and sheâs bound to encounter the eldest young master...â The bodyguard was flustered and mumbling.
âUseless!â
Having nowhere to vent her anger, Zoey kicked the bodyguardâs leg.
As a result of her overly large movements, her feet becoming unstable, and her subsequent scream, the bodyguard was fortunately unharmed as she fell to the ground.
Skyler and all the other scoundrels couldnât help but laugh.
On the other side.
Vincentâs long and loving gaze held a smile and he declared to all present, âIt seems like everyone is in a great mood tonight. Iâd like to play a game with all of you. What do you say?â
âMy sister misplaced her teddy bear here.â
As soon as he finished speaking, a picture of a teddy bear Annie had taken and stored on his phone appeared on the huge Screen behind him.
The audience was engaged in discussion.
âSister? Doesnât Anderson have a flesh-and-blood sister? Sheâs the apple of a renowned pianistâs eye. I donât recall it being this way.â
âSister can also mean âloverâ. You just referred to the old man as âlittle brother! Why are you still just distant relatives?â
âBut this young lady hasnât matured yet. Is she still a maiden? Oh my! She canât be grown up yet, can she?â
âYou know nothing. The bigwigs appreciate this type of meek, fragile, and bookish girl. She is genuine and authentic!â
Annie, her cheeks reddening with embarrassment, heard a few words of criticism vaguely and wanted to pull her hand out of Vincentâs palm.
Every time this occurred, all that came to her mind was fleeing, to get away.
The man clenched her sweaty little hands so tightly that, despite her efforts, she could not move.
âDoes anyone know where to find this teddy bear tonight? For the coming year, ACEâs consumption will be completely free of charge.â
Vincentâs golden voice reverberated, immediately eliciting a collective gasp from the audience!
A huge number flashed onto the big screen, and the countdown started.
âFive, four, three, two, one let the game commence!â
Vincentâs lips curled up at the corners, and he gave a wave of his hand.
Everyone quickly dispersed, spreading to every corner of ACE in an instant. From the stage, the sight was truly spectacular!
Annie blinked her deer-like eyes, clear as spring water, her mouth unable to close.
Vincent stared at her surprised profile, his eyes deepening with each passing moment.
âLetâs go to the private room with my brother and wait there. Your little bear will be located soon.â
Vincent escorted Annie to another secluded room.
The girls, all friends of Vincentâs from Medo, were drinking together in the private room.
When Annie saw the strange men and women embracing, her face flushed crimson like a ripe cherry. She hung her head so low that she felt like an ostrich, wanting to burrow into the ground. Vincent had to almost pull her in.
As soon as Vincent ushered her in, Young Master Karl started to whistle and jeer.
âGreetings, Sister-in-law! Youâre so young, yet youâve done an amazing job taking care of our Brother Huo. You have a bright future ahead of you!â
Annieâs little face kept turning white in panic.
âHiss... What are you barking for? This is...â
Just as Vincent was about to reveal Annie and Sawle Groupâs identity, he suddenly recalled Josephâs words and quickly changed his tone, âThis is my sister. Donât talk nonsense on my behalf!â
âOld Huo, Sister-in-lawâs teddy bear is really pricey. It must cost at least a few hundred thousand for ACEâs expenses in a year, right? Thatâs millions every day! Just to get a teddy bear for Sister-in-law? You could buy a ton with that money!â
They remained steadfast in their decision.
There were countless women around Mr. Anderson, but there was no second person who could make him treat her like this.
Their relationship was definitely not clean!
âMy sister likes that one,â Vincent said, rolling his eyes. âIt was given to her by my first love, and it has a special meaning. Do you know what a âloserâ is?â He felt that this group of âsecond-generation ancestorsâ were too crass.
âFirst love, huh? You mearr my sister-in-law?â Annie was taken aback.
âYes, I really liked your sister-in-law, Chloe,â Vincent said with a smile, admitting frankly, âSheâs my first love.â
He used to be enamored with Chloe. Despite being kicked to the point of being disfigured beyond recognition in the end, he felt it was a great honor to have loved such an extraordinary woman. Even in death, he would have to etch this memory into a tablet.
As a result, Annie seemed to erupt. âAh!â She exclaimed, âNo! No! You canât fancy Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law is Second Brotherâs. Nobody is allowed to rival my Second Brother!â
âA friendâs wife cannot be intimidated. You and my Second Brother are so kind. How could Brotherâs wife?â
you overlook my Second Annie had a righteous expression on her face as she clenched her fists tightly. âIf Second Brother knew youâd been unfaithful to him, how hurt would he be? If you try to take Sister-in-law away from me, I... Iâll never speak to you again!â
The little girl, unable to think of any way to threaten the man, found her words to be childish and laughable.
For a moment, the private room was silent, then it erupted into laughter!
Annie blushed instantly, her little feet becoming a jumble as she shyly tucked the corner of her garment.
Vincent, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, quickly suppressed his smile upon seeing her embarrassment and cast a cold.
gaze at everyone.
As if he had pressed the pause button, everyone held their breath and didnât dare to jest about âsister-in-lawâ.
âSister of vegetable flower, I didnât anticipate your principles to be so principled.â
Vincent bent slightly and reached out to caress the girlâs soft hair. Her eyes narrowed. âI can tell youâre sticking up younger brother. If I didnât know better, Iâd think you were jealous.â
âWhy should I be envious?â Annie asked seriously. âI wonât be jealous even if I eat dumplings.â
Vincent was left speechless.
He finally got it.
Sis and the vegetable flower were not from the same world, indeed.
Yet, his attention had been successfully drawn to her world.
for your The ACE, this glamorous group of men and women, were so busy searching for a toy bear for Annie that they were thrown into chaos.
The private room opened a glass door on one side, leading out to a large balcony.
Vincent was drinking with his friends inside while Annie stood alone on the balcony, her hands gripping the railing nervously, praying that her elder brother and sister would locate her beloved little bear.
âIâve got it! I found it!â
At that moment, a woman leapt onto the stage, brandishing a teddy bear aloft.
âWhere on earth did you find it!â
âIn the water tank used to flush toilet in the manâs lavatory!â
The men present subconsciously covered their crotches, âGoodness me, when women are ruthless, they are no longer to be reckoned with!â
Annie, with an enlightened look of a child, leapt up.
âOh, itâs much quicker than I anticipated. As expected, money and power are formidable. Even if they face adversity, they will remain jovial.â
Twisting his neck, Vincent walked onto the terrace, a cigarette between his thin red lips, the orange-red fire flickering. âIâll go get my teddy bear!â
Annie, feeling a little afraid of being alone with him, tried to turn away and slip away, only to be blocked by his tall and strong figure.
As the saying goes, there are only three things that are certain: death, taxes, and change.
After the car accident that night, he silently vowed that he would never let this little rabbit escape again!
âNo rush, your toy is damp. Iâll get the same sister from before to dry it off for you, and then give it back to you.â
Annie lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze with her âpeach blossom eyes,â which were trying to conceal a smile.. She meekly uttered, âThank you...thank you...â
âCongratulations to this young lady for winning first placel ACE is free from spending for a year â itâs all yours!â Yoona Smiled and took the bear from the womanâs hand.
The woman was ecstatic, eliciting envy from everyone.
One had to be aware that ACE was the priciest nightclub in all of Medo, and it was complimentary for a year!
Her mother was so moved that she was in tears.
Vincent squinted and motioned to Yoona with the cigarette in his hand.
Yoona understood and laughed heartily, âEveryone has put in a lot of effort to assist your sister in her search! Mr. Huo will cover tonightâs costs!â
