My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2806 - 2815: Negative Impression Points Directly

"Enough, enough, no more words from any of you. Omega, Porter's got a valid point. Life in this world is tough for everyone, and we've all endured our own struggles to reach this point. We're certain the fire wasn't deliberate, so you bear no blame. Thankfully, no real harm came of it—just a close call."

"Porter." Edward shot a glance at Porter, his gaze carrying a touch of gentle urging. "No need for more from you either. I trust this incident will make Omega far more vigilant moving forward. Plus, cooking skill or not, her heart was in the right place."

"This issue ends here—no further discussion."

"The room assignments were due for a change regardless, and I was planning to announce it. With everyone gathered, I'll share it now. The Program Group has chosen to divide male and female guests. Kelvin's already settled in his new space. Pack your things and relocate shortly."

Porter stood there in shock: "Dividing males from females? No more cohabitation?"

"Correct, the Program Group notified us moments ago." Edward gave a nod.

At this point, Porter harbored zero fondness for Annie Lawrence.

Far from fondness, his view of her had plunged into the negatives.

Naturally, continuing to share a home with Annie was the last thing he desired.

Thus, hearing Edward declare the split of male and female guests filled Porter with secret joy.

Fearing he'd misheard and built up false expectations, he double-checked.

Once confirmed no mistake, Porter eagerly agreed, "Fine, I'll grab my bags immediately."

"Hold off a moment. The kitchen..." Edward intended to note the kitchen remained uncleaned, with lingering smoke in the air, suggesting a brief wait.

Yet Porter appeared eager to go.

He spun around and departed: "No problem, the smoke's mostly gone now, all good. Packing won't take long for me."

His haste screamed a burning wish to part from Annie.

Trailing him, Annie's expression grew rigid, her teeth sinking deep into her lower lip, etching clear impressions.

Porter...

Silently, she ground her teeth, inwardly damning him.

Someday, you'll rue every bit of today's treatment.

"I'll head off to pack my stuff too," Sorensen declared upon seeing Porter exit. "Not much to gather, so it'll be fast. But who's taking the kids after the guest separation?"

"Female guests will have them temporarily," Edward answered. "Changes are coming later. I'll update you once details arrive."

"Got it," Sorensen acknowledged with a nod. "Packing now then. Marco, stick with Mom for a bit, alright?"

The young guests had joined them outside too.

Sorensen clasped Marco’s hand.

Marco nodded wisely, replying in his innocent tone, "OK."

Sorensen tousled his hair, passed him to Mandy with a few instructions, then went to gather his belongings.

"Annie, time to pack your things," Edward told her directly. "Your room's off-limits currently, so switch to a different one."

"Sure, Edward, packing now."

Annie puzzled over the abrupt male-female guest split.

She'd reviewed prior episodes before joining the show.

Those had males and females residing together.

What prompted the separation this time?
