:
The smell of disinfectant and the plain blue blanket told her she was in a hospital.

Her last memory was of a tall figure breaking down the door and lifting her from the floor.
It was…
Jonathan.
Anneliese sat up quickly and looked herself over.
She was wearing a loose hospital gown. Her waist and stomach ached, but there was nothing unusual between her legs.
She let out a sigh of relief just as the door opened.
Clutching the blanket, she looked up nervously. It was Jessica.
“Annie, you’re awake! Do you feel any discomfort?”
Jessica walked over, and Anneliese grabbed her hand.
“I’m fine. My neck just hurts a little. I don’t even know where I hit it. Who brought me here? And who changed my
clothes?”
“You don’t remember anything? Don’t worry, that b*stard didn’t get the chance to do anything. Mr. Fullbuster rushed in and saved you. He brought you here, and the nurse should have been the one who changed your clothes.”
Mr. Fullbuster?
So, it really was him.
The image of the man breaking in flashed through her mind again, and she let out a breath. “Are you sure it was the nurse?”
“Uh, I’m not completely sure. I stayed at the hotel to deal with the video, so I got there later.”
Talking about it made Jessica a little guilty.
It was all because Zane had stalled her.
She knew he wasn’t really an escort. He was clearly rich, just trying to get back the money she

“Do you know how rich people keep their money? By only taking in, never giving out.”
She had never seen such a shameless lawyer. He would’ve been better off as an escort than pretending to be a lawyer.
“The video.”
Anneliese’s voice tightened, and Jessica quickly tried to calm her.
“I destroyed everything. I cut the card into pieces, smashed the camera, and that b*stard Jameson is basically half crippled now. Don’t worry.”
Anneliese exhaled and stayed quiet for a while.
But Jessica misunderstood and added quickly, “Don’t worry, I checked. There aren’t any marks or hickeys on you. Mr. Fullbuster didn’t do anything. Honestly, I even wonder if something’s wrong with him. Leaving such a gorgeous woman like you alone after you were drugged–if it’s not that he can’t, maybe it’s his orientation…”
“I wasn’t worried!” Anneliese cut her off before she went further. “I just think this whole thing isn’t that simple.”
“You think someone told Jameson to do it?”
Jessica caught on right away.
Anneliese nodded. “How did Jameson and Jacques know so fast that I broke up with Zacharias?”
At first, she thought it was because Zacharias‘ affair had already spread around their circle, which made Jacques and Jameson show up again.
But now she realized both of them appeared only after she officially filed for divorce.
She didn’t even need to think too hard to know there was someone behind it.
Melody was ruthless.
“So, you already know who’s behind it.”
At that moment, a deep, steady voice spoke,
Anneliese looked over and saw Jonathan walking in.
