My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2779: 2787: Does Frank Parker know me?

Yet, regardless of Omega Huntley's true nature or if he hid any malicious intentions or planned to hurt her, fretting excessively beforehand proved pointless.

The sole option left to her was tackling it directly upon arrival.

Annie Lawrence was savoring a meal at an upscale restaurant when she got David Benington’s call.

She had just enjoyed a succulent pan-fried steak and taken a sip of her red wine, replying in a seductive tone, “What’s there to be afraid of? The more people who criticize, the higher the popularity. Otherwise, how can I keep trending? If netizens love to scold, let them scold. It’s best if they scold until everyone knows about Omega Huntley, and that’s when I achieve my goal.”

“Didn’t you tell me that being infamous still means being famous? I remember Joanna Lawrence also used to be on the hot search every other day with negative news. Now, I’m just following her path.”

“Even before I came to this show, I knew that many people would criticize me. As long as I can stay on the hot search every day and become famous quickly, let them scold however they want.”

David Benington fell silent briefly on the line before responding with faint sarcasm, “Annie Lawrence, your toughness has grown considerably since before. In the old days, you'd have demanded I hire online trolls to polish your reputation.”

“That was the past.” Annie sipped her red wine again, eyes squinting slightly, “Now I’m different from before. And I told you, call me Omega Huntley, I’m Omega Huntley now!”

“Why bother pretending in front of me?” David Benington scoffed, “In public, of course, I’ll call you Omega Huntley, but in private, you’re still the Annie Lawrence I knew. I know what you’re worried about. I’m alone at home right now, and there’s nobody else around. What are you afraid of?”

His words made Annie abruptly uneasy.

Clinging to her former identity as Annie Lawrence had been idiotic.

To gain a fresh beginning, she transformed her looks and adopted a new name.

A dazzling new existence mirroring Joanna Lawrence’s glory.

She refused to hear even a whisper of her previous days.

That wretched David Benington insisted on thwarting her!

One day.

The instant she seized her desires, David Benington—that despicable scum—would face her wrath first!

She could never erase the memory of how this scum, David Benington, stole her child away.

Deep down, she loathed him just as fiercely now.

Still, his usefulness kept her leashed.

Until her ambitions bore fruit, striking at him remained impossible.

Even with hatred making her grind her teeth, endurance was her only choice for the moment.

“By the way, the reason I called you today is to tell you about something else.” Without letting her inquire, David went on, “Frank Parker knows about you now, and he specifically asked me what’s going on.”

Annie Lawrence froze in shock, swiftly concealing her animosity. The hand clutching her wine glass quivered sharply, sending the contents swirling perilously close to spilling.

Sitting up straight, she asked with a trace of thrill in her voice, “Frank Parker knows about me?”

“Yep, he knows about you.”

“Does he also know what I look like?”

“Yes.” David paused briefly before adding, “At first, he seemed very angry when he started, and I thought he was going to let us leave the Parker Group. However, after I told him that you and Joanna Lawrence look very similar,”
