The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 553 Troublemaker 

Gwendolyn scoffed at Annie while reading her intentions.

Yet, the latter showed no response, as though she was utterly clueless. “What are you talking about, Ms. Harris? Secretly plotting against you? Is that what you’re planning to do to me?”

“I didn’t say that, but let me make it clear-I’m someone who holds grudges and doesn’t like being taken advantage of. If anyone tries to mess with me, I’ll return the favor tenfold. I’m sure many other people in the corporate world are as petty as I am. So, Ms. Annie, if you ever get knocked out and kidnapped while walking outside on the streets, you must’ve crossed someone in the first place.”

Annie appeared frightened as her eyes reddened in a flash.

“Don’t scare me like that, Ms. Harris. I’ve never had any experience doing such things. Besides, I haven’t crossed anyone. The only person I can think of is…”

She trailed off while falling deep into thought before quickly fixating her gaze back on Gwendolyn.

“If you’re here all of a sudden just to talk about getting robbed of your project, you can leave-because as long as you’re the director of Antea Group, I’m going to snatch every project it gets its hands on.”

Annie’s eyes grew even redder as tears swirled within them. “Why are you doing this to me, Ms. Harris? What did I ever do to get on your bad side?”

Gwendolyn leaned back into her office chair casually. “If you want peace between us, answer my questions.”

Annie nodded earnestly. “Okay, please do. I’ll tell you everything I know.”

A look of scorn flashed in Gwendolyn’s eyes as she began, “Are you really Annie Steinfeld?”

Annie appeared puzzled. “Of course. I’m Annic in the flesh.”
