Chapter 172: Chapter 174: Does He Have Someone Else on the Outside?

Annie Lawrence was annoyed, and replied irritably, "He said he’s negotiating a very important contract and will come later."

"What?!" Rose Liall looked dissatisfied. "After something like this happened, he still has the mood to talk about some damn contract. Didn’t you tell him that we are in the hospital now?"

"I did."

Talking about this matter, Annie also felt uncomfortable: "He thinks the situation is not very serious."

Thinking of how the mysterious man stood up for Joanna Lawrence, and then thinking about David Benington’s not-so-caring attitude, Annie’s chest was full of fire.

She had thought that knowing she had been beaten, David would come over as soon as possible.

But he didn’t.

He just expressed some sympathy over the phone and got back to his business.

Even though Annie now has a new goal, David’s attitude still makes her feel bitter.

Because she remembered very clearly that one year Joanna had encountered a similar situation.

David was also talking business with someone at the time, but he quickly rushed to her side.

She saw it back then and couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous.

"His girlfriend and future mother-in-law were both beaten up and sent to the hospital, and he thinks it’s not serious?" Rose Liall was so angry that she almost jumped out of bed. "He’s really not taking us seriously. You said he cares about you and likes you, didn’t you? Now you’re pregnant with his child, and he’s treating you like this. How’s it going to work in the future!"

"Could it be..."

Rose Liall’s face changed suddenly, grabbing Annie’s hand, anxiously said, "Did he find someone else?"

Thinking that her daughter was pregnant and couldn’t satisfy David’s needs in that aspect.

David is the boss of Galaxy Agency, with countless beauties in his company.

There must be some sirens trying to seduce him, and now is the best time.

Thinking of this, Rose Liall’s face became even more unpleasant: "Annie, hurry up and call David to find out where he is. You go and check. I suspect he’s being held up by some siren."

"He’s so well off, there must be many sirens wanting to seduce him. You must be more careful and don’t give any chance."

Annie’s face changed, "Mom, David isn’t that kind of person."

Rose Liall scoffed, "Not many men are good, and few can refuse women who actively pursue them. If he wasn’t that kind of person, how could you have snatched him from Joanna?!"

Her words felt like a slap in Annie’s face.

It stung.

She yelled angrily, "Mom!"

It was only then that Rose Liall realized she had said the wrong thing and ended up scolding her daughter as well.

She quickly put on a smile and explained, "Ahem, Annie, I wasn’t talking about you, I was talking about those shameless sirens."

This sounded like she was only making things worse.

Annie stared coldly, and with a loud smack, slapped Steve’s face, venting all her anger on him: "Clumsy, can’t even handle such a simple task."

Steve trembled with fear and cried, "I’m sorry, Annie."

Steve’s eyebrows and eyes looked somewhat similar to Joanna’s.

The reason Annie chose Steve as her assistant was also because of this.

Whenever she was unhappy, she would vent her anger on Steve, bullying him as if bullying Joanna.

It made Annie feel a thrill of pleasure.
