My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2838 - 2848: You Still Have One More Chance

What I'm telling you is the absolute truth; he really did find someone to impersonate the one by his side. It's not just me who knows this, but a considerable number of people within the Parker Group are also aware.

"What? Are you so consumed by anger and desperation that you're resorting to accusations? Did your plan to seduce him tonight fall through? Has Frank Parker shown absolutely zero interest in you? Annie Lawrence, I've already warned you that he's no ordinary man who can be easily swayed."

"If you believe he's a common man and that you can effortlessly make him fall for you, then you are gravely mistaken."

Annie's face drained of color, fury coursing through her as she felt utterly humiliated. Gritting her teeth, she finally spoke, "Didn't you say I resemble Joanna Lawrence more than the woman currently by his side? If he could keep that woman near him, then why did he show no reaction whatsoever when he saw me?"

"He showed no reaction to you at all?" David Benington echoed, feigning surprise.

"Not only did he not react, but he explicitly stated his lack of interest and even had me removed from his private room." Annie deliberately omitted the detail of being forcibly removed by Frank Parker himself, deeming it too shameful to mention.

"Could it be that he's actually not interested in Joanna Lawrence? Perhaps we've been mistaken all along? If not, then why would he be indifferent to me?"

"Impossible," David Benington declared with unshakeable conviction. "He cannot possibly be uninterested in Joanna Lawrence. If he were, he would never have gone out of his way to assist her repeatedly, nor would he have sought out a substitute, and most certainly, he wouldn't have severed ties with Ashton Heath because of her."

"Then why did he claim he wasn't interested in me? And I could sense it, David, he truly seemed indifferent, not merely acting." Annie's lower lip trembled slightly.

David Benington remained silent for a long moment.

"I don't have an answer for that either. But are you merely going to give up like this?"

"Never," Annie retorted instantly. "That's precisely why I called you. David, you must assist me. Do you believe his lack of interest is due to the fact that he already has a stand-in by his side?"

"What sort of woman is this stand-in he's chosen? Could she be some sort of sorceress who has completely bewitched Frank Parker?"

"David, please tell me. Is the substitute he found a siren?"

"What's the hurry?" After Annie's persistent urging, David Benington finally responded, his voice laced with a casual tone. "The substitute is a young woman from a university. I've seen her once; she appears as an innocent girl, quite naive about the ways of the world. Frank treats her well, but it's absolutely out of the question for him to be enchanted by such a young, inexperienced girl."

"As for why he showed no interest in you, that's something you'll need to figure out for yourself."

Annie was taken aback for a moment before exclaiming indignantly, "David, what exactly are you implying?"

"Didn't you confidently assure me earlier that you would undoubtedly win him over tonight? Annie, as I've told you before, Frank Parker is not an ordinary man. If you intend to use your usual seductive tactics on him, I strongly advise you to save your efforts."

"Consider this carefully; you still have one final opportunity. If Frank Parker remains utterly uninterested in your appearance, then undergoing surgery for it would have been a complete waste. Our arrangement will conclude at that point." With his statement delivered, David disconnected the call.

Annie stood on the deserted roadside, her hand clutching her phone tightly.

No.

She absolutely refused to let this face be altered for nothing.
