My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2835: 2486zhang

Moreover, Frank Parker had been exceptionally kind to that stand-in.

If Frank hadn't fallen for the little slut Joanna Lawrence, why would he have kept her by his side as a replacement?

Yet, if Frank Parker truly liked that particular woman, then why wasn't he showing any interest in her?

Where had she gone wrong?

Just as Annie Lawrence found herself lost in doubt, questioning Frank Parker's true feelings, she heard his voice, laced with coldness, "Who gave you permission to see me? What do you think you are? Get out of here."

Annie's head snapped up in utter shock.

Her eyes widened, disbelief etched on her face, impossible to accept what she had just heard.

Frank Parker… had told her to leave?

For a fleeting moment, she questioned if her ears had deceived her.

So, she couldn't help but inquire, "Mr. Parker, did you just…? Are you mistaken about me? You are my boss, and I merely wished to offer my greetings."

"Get out." Not a flicker of warmth could be found in Frank Parker's eyes; his gaze was frigidly cold, his voice seeming to be encased in a layer of ice. "I have no interest in vulgar women like you. Leave this instant and stop being an eyesore."

This time, Annie heard him unmistakably.

She stared at Frank Parker, a mixture of shock and disbelief blanketing her features.

He had truly ordered her to depart.

And furthermore, he had called her disgustingly vulgar and declared his disinterest.

Annie simply could not fathom that Frank Parker would treat her in such a manner.

Not only was there no interest as she had so fondly imagined, but she even detected a hint of revulsion in his eyes.

Circumstances were far from unfolding as smoothly as she had envisioned.

Indeed, they had veered drastically beyond her expectations.

The original Annie Lawrence, who had been so certain of winning over Frank Parker tonight, began to feel a surge of panic.

How could things have possibly devolved like this…

She was bewildered as to why the situation had taken such a turn.

Could it be that her initial assumption was incorrect, and Frank Parker wasn't actually interested in that particular woman?

Were all those scandalous rumors from the past simply fabrications?

Wouldn't that render all her carefully laid plans for this evening utterly futile?

Annie's face suddenly drained of all color, becoming noticeably pale.

If Frank Parker truly held no interest in Joanna Lawrence.

Then, not only would her plans for tonight crumble like dust.

But all her meticulously crafted schemes spanning over a year would also be reduced to nothing.

She had undergone plastic surgery, altering her appearance to resemble Joanna Lawrence. She had then arranged for David Benington to sign her with the Talent Agency of the Parker Group, all to get closer to Frank Parker. Her objective was to find a way to attach herself to the young master, hoping to achieve her desires through him.

Her subsequent target was none other than Ashton Heath.

She had executed every step of her plan flawlessly.

Furthermore, she had unwavering faith that her scheme would never falter.

She had returned with the absolute confidence of inevitable victory.

However, if she had gambled with the wrong chips from the very beginning, what leverage could she possibly possess to secure a win?

"Mr. Parker, I, I…," As Annie met Frank Parker's cold, narrowed gaze, a shiver ran down her spine, and the palpable fear in her heart was undeniable, clearly reflected in her eyes.

She gazed fearfully at the distinguished and influential man before her, yet she found herself incapable of departing just yet.

She refused to accept this outcome.

She couldn't bring herself to believe she had been mistaken.

Frank Parker had even severed his long-standing brotherhood with Ashton Heath solely for the sake of that particular woman.

How could it be possible that he wasn't interested in her?

She refused to believe it. She absolutely had to ask one more time.

She couldn't simply concede defeat and depart so readily.

"Mr. Parker, drinking alone must be quite tedious, wouldn't you agree? May I perhaps join you for a drink?"
