Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 495

Ann paced back and forth in the room. Her gaze fell on the roses that the assistant had just sent in. The blue roses still had dew on them. She lifted her hand and picked up the phone to call Zayn.

The speed at which Zayn answered the phone was as slow as ever. He always had an endless list of things to do.

Ann was always understanding. After all, he was the founder of an empire. Moreover, she would prefer to leave an understanding impression on the man.

However, this wait today was clearly making Ann a little anxious. A familiar raspy, dry ache came from her throat. It was a familiar and frightening feeling that she got when she was anxious, worried, and extremely scared.

Finally, the call was connected.

The man's usual cold voice came through, "Hello."

Ann suppressed the anxiety in her heart. Her slightly hoarse voice had its usual charm. "Zayn, are you busy?"

"Yeah." He was really too blunt.

Ann pretended to be at a loss and her voice was a little weak as she said, "What are you doing? My company's situation is critical. I don't know where the news came from that there are problems with our new product. Zayn, what should I do?"

"I've heard." Zayn's voice was flat. "Don't worry, I'll get Quentin to go over and help you, but I think your focus now should be on the stock that's about to hit the limit down. Now the situation of S.P. Corporation is precarious. The loss of public trust is something you won’t want to see."

Zayn took a sip of water and looked out the window. His eyes were cold as he continued, "I suggest for you to first check if your staff leaked anything out. After all, this matter affects your company the most compared to the whole market. It could be malicious competition from rivals."

He rarely spoke so much with Ann and his voice was so compelling that Ann could not help but follow his train of thoughts. She found that Zayn's inference was very reasonable.

However, despite this, she asked probingly, "Zayn, do you really think it might be malicious competition from rivals?"

This coincided with her thoughts.

Zayn just said, "Mm. This is most probable."

With such a frank attitude and objective words to help her come up with solutions, Ann felt that her suspicions of Zayn were unjustified.

She always had some doubts about Zayn because he was too unenthusiastic about her. Only when the two communicated across the phone could she feel a little bit of desire from Zayn.

Ann thought that all men were attracted to her and that no one could resist her appeal. Although they were about to get engaged, Zayn was still not very warm to her.

This made her want to take the initiative to seduce Zayn.

To be honest, she did not care about the company. It was just a tool that she bought with her money, but this tool was still useful for the time being, so it could not break yet.

Ann pretended to be soft and whined to Zayn. He just comforted her a little and hung up the phone. Just then, Ann’s secretary knocked on the door and said that Quentin had arrived.

S.P. Corporation's crisis had nothing to do with Lindsey, who just watched the drama unfold while she prepared for Zayn and Ann's engagement ceremony a week later.

Even if S.P. Corporation went bankrupt, it would not change the fact that Zayn and Ann were together. Lindsey was putting herself in a more positive frame of mind, even more so after what happened last time. She knew that she could not back down because she was not alone and had a child to take care of.

"How about this?" Yvette picked up a lilac backless dress and held it to Lindsey's body.

These were the new arrivals from all the major brands. Knowing that Lindsey was going to attend Zayn and Ann's engagement ceremony, Shaun directly ordered a batch of dresses and called Yvette along to pick them out with Lindsey.

Lindsey looked a little embarrassed when she saw Yvette again, but Yvette looked like she did not take it to heart and was frank.

She even took the opportunity when Shaun was not paying attention to ask Lindsey in a whisper, "Lindsey, why did you play along with him to do such a stupid thing?"

Lindsey could not say that she was not aware of it beforehand either, so she just smiled and winced. She pointed to Dezi and said, "You see, my son is almost six years old now, but my brother is three years older than me and he’s still single. Yvette, how can I not help him?"

Yvette was always not very confident in Shaun’s feelings, so she was still torn and awkward. However, she knew that some things should be kept in the past and there was no need to dwell on those unhappy memories.

When Yvette heard Lindsey’s joking tone, she no longer had any worries.

The two ladies looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
