My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2873 - 2892: So, Mrs. Rose Lawrence has admitted it?
Previously on My Secret Billionaire Husband...
With a cold gaze fixed upon Joanna Lawrence, her voice dripped with icy malice. "Joanna, how did you discover my residence? What business do you have here?"
Joanna regarded her with a composed air. "It appears my suspicions were correct."
Utterly perplexed, Annie’s rage intensified, her eyes narrowing as she pressed, "Correct about what? You’ve evaded my question. How do you know where I live? Did you investigate me?"
Instead of responding, Joanna’s gaze shifted to Rose Liall, who stood beside Annie.
A faint smirk played on Joanna’s lips as she addressed Rose. "Mrs. Rose, it has been a considerable time."
This greeting caused a sudden shift in Rose’s demeanor.
Concurrently, Annie’s expression also transformed.
Rose’s eyes, a mixture of fury and apprehension, flickered towards Joanna. Addressing her with palpable agitation, Rose stated, "Joanna, I am no longer affiliated with the Lawrence family. You stripped Annie and me of everything. Have you come to inflict more suffering upon us?"
"So, you readily admit it, Mrs. Rose?" Joanna questioned the agitated mother and daughter, her expression unwavering.
Rose frowned deeply. "Admit what? What precisely have I confessed to?"
Joanna offered a subtle smirk before turning her attention back to Annie. "Admitting that the woman accompanying you is indeed your daughter, Annie Lawrence."
The declaration struck Rose and Annie like a thunderbolt, their countenances altering instantly.
A wave of panic began to wash over their features.
"What preposterous claims are you making?" Rose vehemently denied any admission, her tone a blend of indignation and disarray. "What have I admitted? It’s all in your imagination. I have not confirmed anything."
"Joanna, please state your intentions plainly. There is no need for oblique remarks. Are your eyes deceiving you? Do you not recognize Annie?"
Despite her shock and burgeoning fear, Annie swiftly regained her composure. Addressing Joanna with icy detachment, she declared, "Joanna, are you experiencing visual impairment? Take a proper look at me. My name is Omega Huntley, not Annie Lawrence."
Joanna remained imperturbly calm. Her eyes locked with Annie’s, which betrayed clear guilt and panic. She stated evenly, "Annie Lawrence, I must concede, your facial reconstruction surgery was remarkably effective. There is not a single trace of your former visage on your current face."
"However, this does not grant you the ability to conceal your true identity indefinitely."
"Had I not uncovered your genuine identity, do you truly believe I would have sought you out here?"
Upon hearing Joanna reveal her true identity, Annie experienced a fleeting moment of alarm.
Yet, she quickly recalled that her current facial features bore no resemblance to her appearance in the past, making it improbable for Joanna to recognize her.
Consequently, she rapidly regained her composure.
Annie reasoned that as long as she maintained her denial and insisted on her present identity, Joanna would lack any concrete evidence to prove she was Annie Lawrence.
However, what completely blindsided her was this...
Joanna asserted that she had already uncovered her true identity.
For a brief instant, Annie found herself unable to ascertain whether Joanna was speaking the truth or merely attempting a bold bluff.
After scrutinizing Joanna’s face for several seconds, she ultimately concluded that Joanna was attempting to deceive her.
"What do you mean by concealing my true identity? What successful facial reconstruction surgery are you referring to?"
"Joanna Lawrence, why are you so fixated on forcing me to admit I am Annie Lawrence? What is your ultimate objective?"
