The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Zane replied instantly, "Just tell her that maybe Annalise doesn't talk badly about others behind their backs like she does."

Casper thought for a moment, copied the message, and changed a few words before sending it to Jessica.

Jessica remained silent for a long time. Just when Casper thought she wouldn't respond, her enthusiastic response was contrary to his expectations.

"Let's not mention anything else. Annalise must have felt extremely embarrassed just now, right?"

Casper scrolled through their chat history. He had always initiated conversations with Jessica. If he said something wrong, she would get upset and ignore him. Never before had she taken the initiative to chat with him like today. Suddenly, Casper felt like a clown-it was ridiculous and laughable.

Jessica continued texting. "If the same situation happened to me, I would definitely handle it well. I wouldn't lose control like Annalise and make you feel embarrassed."

Her words felt like a sharp knife stabbing Casper's heart; his feelings for Jessica were a joke. Though he felt a heaviness in his heart, he maintained a calm facade and replied, "She handled it well."

Although Casper hadn't interacted much with Annalise, he knew she was capable. She should be able to handle problems easily.

Casper continued, "And today's incident has caused quite a stir; you can check online."

Jessica quickly opened her phone and, upon checking, found that even more people were criticizing her online. She became even angrier.

...

Chloe was so foolish!

Jessica wanted Chloe to drag

Annalise down, making Annalise lose control and embarrass herself But instead, Chloe had made it

known that Jessica was the

mistress! Wasn't Chloe intentionally making her life difficult?

Jessica tried to calm herself down

and then messaged Casper, pretending to be pitiful. "Her ex-mother-in-law went to the company, and instead of

confronting her, Annalise turned the topic to me. Does she really dislike me that much?"

Jessica feigned ignorance and asked, "Why do you think she has such malice toward me?"

Casper replied almost instantly, "You should be asking yourself that question. Think about what you've done to her, and you might have the answer." Jessica was speechless. She wanted to retort, but after typing for a while, she silently deleted her response.

Jessica suddenly felt that what Casper said made a lot of sense.

...

Meanwhile, Chloe sat in the police station, patiently listening to the officers' advice, appearing compliant. However, she was still dissatisfied internally.

Annalise's marriage to her son made her her daughter-in-law. So what if they were divorced? Why did that matter? Chloe could still control Annalise if she wanted to. The police asked, "Do you understand your mistake?"

Chloe quickly replied, "I understand."

Although her situation was serious,

it wasn't severe enough fornovelbin

detention. After seeing her compliant attitude, the police suggested, "Why don't you call someone to pick you up?"

After some thought, Chloe decided to contact Steven.
