A Drunken Decision Cynthia Chapter 93
Chapter 93
When Annabelle received Madeline’s call, it was already two days later.
For the past two days, because of the Twitter incident, Annabelle did not dare to go out and stayed at home obediently. Fortunately, there were many people at home, so she did not feel bored.
When Annabelle saw the caller ID, she was indeed quite surprised. She thought that Madeline would never call her again.
However, after thinking about it, Annabelle thought of a reason. Perhaps Ashley had seen her Twitter post and was not happy. Madeline had called again to denounce her.
When the phone automatically hung up and rang again, Annabelle still picked up the call.
Unexpectedly, she did not hear the scolding from Madeline. Instead, Madeline’s tone was surprisingly calm on the phone.
Madeline asked Annabelle to come out and meet her. She said she had something to tell Annabelle.
Annabelle was surprised at first, but when she heard this, she suddenly remembered that Braxton had said the same thing to her the last time.
Annabelle no longer held any hope in her heart.
“Mom, I’m busy…”
“I know you’re not busy!” Madeline interrupted Annabelle quickly before Annabelle could find an excuse to refuse. “Since you have made up your mind to cut ties with us, it’s time to settle some matters, don’t you think? Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you. I know that you have backing from the Walker family. If you don’t want to come to our house, we can meet outside!”
When Annabelle heard this, she really wanted to retort. She was not heartless enough to disown her parents. They were the ones who did not want her anymore!
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she realized that the argument was pointless. In the end, address for Madeline to meet her tomorrow
Annabelle gave an
Annabelle gave Madeline the address of the coffee shop opposite Pearl Building. Annabelle thought that she could go out with
Lucas tomorrow.
Madeline was not very satisfied with the place Annabelle chose. However, she was afraid Annabelle would not be willing to meet her if she rejected. At this time, she did not know that the cafe Annabelle chose was opposite Pearl Group.
The next day, after the driver sent Madeline to the coffee shop, she realized it was near the Pearl Building.
Standing at the entrance of the coffee shop, Madeline looked at Pearl Building opposite her and almost couldn’t catch her
breath.
What did Annabelle mean? Was she constantly reminding her that she had someone backing her up?
Annabelle came to the Pearl Group with Lucas early in the morning. Because it was not the agreed time, she waited in Lucas’s
office.
Fortunately, there was a small lounge in Lucas’s office. She was still very sleepy, so she took another nap there.
It was almost the end of the year, and Lucas was very busy. Annabelle did not want to disturb his work.
Annabelle set the alarm and got up at 9:30 am to go to the coffee shop.
However, Lucas was worried about her going alone. In fact, he was very dissatisfied with Madeline contacting Annabelle without permission.
“I’ll send you there!” Lucas put down the document in his hand and said in a deep voice.
When Annabelle heard this, she immediately shook her head and refused. As she tidied up her messy hair, he said, “You don’t have to come with me. Keep doing your work. I don’t think I will talk to Madeline for long. I’ll be back in half an hour! If you’re worried about me, just give me a call in half an hour! If you come with me, Madeline probably won’t dare to talk to me!”

Lucas couldn’t help but snort. If Madeline were that timid, she wouldn’t have called Annabelle.
“I’ll pick you up in half an hour!” Lucas said. “I’ll get someone from the secretarial department to send you down!”
Annabelle was not very happy. She was not a child. Why would she need someone to escort her? They also had work to do!
However, Lucas did not listen to Annabelle at all. He led her out of the door and asked the secretarial department to find a slightly less busy person to accompany Annabelle downstairs.
This was not a bad thing. Immediately, someone raised her hand and recommended herself.
Lucas didn’t have time to choose either. He only reminded the secretary to send Annabelle to her seat personally.
The secretary raised her hand and promised she would complete the mission successfully. Only then did she take Annabelle.
from her boss with a smile.
Oh, Annabelle! You were the only person their boss placed at the top of his heart! They knew it clearly, so they had to protect her carefully.
Just like that, Madeline waited for Annabelle to arrive. Annabelle was supported by the secretary. She looked like the empresses on TV shows.
Moreover, when Annabelle sat down, the secretary looked at Madeline worriedly. Then, she approached Annabelle and reminded her in a voice that she thought was very soft, “When you’re done, send me a message. I’ll pick you up!” What was she supposed to mean? Was she afraid that Madeline would harm Annabelle?”
However, this was not the most infuriating thing. What Annabelle said next angered Madeline to death.
“No need, no need!” Annabelle felt that she had already troubled the secretary enough. She said embarrassedly, “Lucas said that he would pick me up in half an hour!”
“Oh, oh, I see. That’s good, that’s good!” The secretary quickly replied. She naturally did not dare to snatch the job from her boss. “Then you go ahead. I’ll go back to work first. If you need anything, send us a message!”
“Thank you!” Annabelle thanked the secretary with a smile. After watching the secretary leave, she turned back to look at Madeline, only to see Madeline glaring at her with a livid expression..
Annabelle did not speak a word.
She was shocked. She had no idea what was wrong with Madeline. Wasn’t she fine just now?
“Mom, you… what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Annabelle looked at Madeline and asked worriedly.
Madeline felt that Annabelle did it on purpose. She showed off in front of her and deliberately said something to scare her.
Then, Annabelle was still putting on airs and asking Madeline what was wrong. Was she feeling unwell? Of course she wasn’t feeling well. She felt uncomfortable everywhere.
At this moment, Annabelle also realized the problem. Her mother was angry.
Hence, she did not say anything and sat opposite Madeline obediently, waiting for her to speak.
Madeline took a deep breath. She heard Lucas would pick Anabelle up half an hour later. However, Madeline did not want to
see Lucas. Therefore, no matter how angry she was, she had to endure it and resolve the matter today.
“Here’s the thing. You’re already married. You seem to have already planned to cut ties with the Ross family…”
“I didn’t…” Annabelle frowned as she listened to Madeline.
However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Madeline.
“That’s not important!” Madeline said coldly. “That’s the truth. So, since you already want to cut ties with the Ross family, shouldn’t you return the Ross family’s shares?”
