My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2869 - 2898: Just Abandon It Directly Then

"If I can’t live well, neither can she!"

"You’ve truly lost your mind. Who do you think you are? Do you believe she is someone you and I can provoke? Do you think harming her by having a journalist spout nonsense is possible? Can’t you see the direction of public opinion on the blog?"

"What if she is untouchable? Does that mean I should suffer silently under her oppression? It doesn’t matter who public opinion on the blog supports, as long as the people of the Heath family believe my words and see her as a loose woman, that’s good enough!" Annie Lawrence, driven mad by David Benington’s words, retorted furiously. "As long as the Heath family believes she had an affair with Frank Parker, they will surely compel Ashton Heath to divorce her."

"David, aren't you still desirous of that wretch? If she divorces Ashton, won't you have an opportunity? I have indirectly aided you. Instead of showing gratitude, you speak to me with such an attitude? I believe the one who is truly crazed is you!"

David Benington remained silent for a moment.

Believing he was persuaded, Annie couldn't help but sneer. "You are indeed still wishing for that wretched woman. But let me remind you, David, even if she divorces Ashton, she now holds the status of the White family's daughter. She might not even spare you a glance given your current standing, even as a divorced woman."

"Don't forget, Frank Parker also has his eyes on her. You are not the only man vying to take her. Compared to Mr. Parker, you simply stand no chance."

"Annie Lawrence, shut your mouth!" David became enraged by her words. "Mind your own affairs! You have already angered both the Heath and Parker families. Frank Parker will not let you off, nor will Joanna Lawrence and Ashton Heath."

"Furthermore, I called you to inform you that our collaboration has concluded. From this moment on, we will have no further connection. Do not bother me again!"

After speaking, David abruptly ended the call.

Listening to the dial tone from the disconnected call, Annie’s expression turned grim.

"David, you wretched man. Do you think that by declaring our collaboration is over, it will truly be over? Do you imagine you can clear your name with a single phone call? Keep dreaming!"

"If death is imminent, let us face it together!"

Following his call with Annie, David still harbored a sense of unease.

Annie was a talent he had personally signed.

She was also the individual he had meticulously planned to invest heavily in, aiming to establish her career.

Now, the very talent he signed had, in an interview, accused Frank Parker and Joanna of infidelity and had even exposed Frank's subsequent affair. Frank was bound to be furious and would certainly not let Annie off the hook easily.

If things went awry, he too might find himself implicated.

The thought of Frank's ruthless tactics sent a shiver down David's spine.

He had no desire to bear the consequences because of Annie.

After considerable thought, David concluded that immediate steps were necessary to ensure his own protection.

Annie was now of no use and had plunged him into considerable trouble.

Since she had become a disposable pawn, the time had come to completely cast her aside.

Parker Group.

David was escorted to Frank Parker's office.

Gazing up at the man seated before him, whose face was clouded with a grim expression and whose aura exuded menace, the chilling sensation of fear surged once more.

Taking a deep, steadying breath, he composed himself and offered a respectful greeting: "Mr. Parker."
