The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 320

"Annie, you need to come home!" That was what Cody said the moment Annie picked up the phone. Her heart leaped with worry. "Brother, is it about the Adams Group..."

"No way. We saved the Adams Group!" Cody cut off Annie's words. "The doctor said you're all better now. So, if you're better, come back home!"

"But I..." Annie glanced at the scars on her neck, arms, and even her face, feeling wronged. "Brother, it's all Noelle's fault. She's so mean..."

"Enough!" Cody's voice was sharp and stern as he stopped her. "Are you still blaming Noelle? I found out the truth. You were the one who was jealous and tried to hurt her. Annie, you're not a kid anymore. You need to think before you act."

"Brother..."

"Let's talk when you're home!" Cody hung up, leaving Annie biting her lip and glaring at her phone in anger.

When Annie got home, she saw her parents and brother waiting. As soon as her mom saw her, she rushed to help her. "My poor girl. I can't believe what Charles did..."

"You want to know why Charles is after you? He wasn't, but you put yourself in his sights," Cody said as he handed Annie some papers he had gotten from Ronald. "And your 'good friend' Winter? Take a good look at who you're hanging out with."

Annie was speechless, taking the papers with a mix of confusion and suspicion. "What's this?"

"Just read it. You said you wanted to teach Noelle a lesson. Why? What did she ever do to you? According to this, you're always causing her trouble. And who ends up winning each time? You claim you didn't tell them to let those snakes loose, so why did they do it? Noelle was lucky she didn't get bitten too badly. If she had, you wouldn't be here chatting with me now."
