Filed to story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage
A man of his age was still so arrogant and jealous!
Rory had been taking care of Bounty in the ward for the past two days. Bounty was still in a coma and had still not woken up.
Annabelle came over to see Bounty. As soon as the door of the ward was opened, the two of them met. In the next second, Alpha arrived, and the situation was established.
Alpha obviously did not believe this explanation. His narrow and gloomy eyes fell on Annabelle’s face, “Why does such a coincidence always happen to you, Annabelle, why did you come to the hospital to see Bounty? Or, did you come to meet someone else?”
“Alpha, you’re unreasonable!”
Annabelle replied angrily.
“Annabelle, who did you come to see? Be clear!”
Alpha probed.
Rory looked at the two of them, then he said, “Guys…”
“Shut up!”
Alpha interrupted him.
“Don’t say anything!”
Annabelle also snapped at him.
Rory, who was yelled at by the two of them, was stunned.
Oriana let out a sigh. This was probably the love between Alpha and Annabelle. Whether it was painful, pessimistic, or sad, it was all theirs, and no third party could intervene.
Oriana stepped forward and said in a clear voice. “Aunty Annabelle, why are you here?”
Annabelle looked up and quickly saw Oriana. She immediately tried to withdraw her arm.
Alpha still refused to loosen his grip on her.
Annabelle raised her hand to brush the hair beside her cheeks and said to Alpha in a low voice, “Let go,the children are here!”
She and Alpha were no longer young, and they did not want to quarrel in front of the children.
Alpha looked at her uncomfortable expression, he did not force her any further, and he let go of his big hand.
“Oriana, I’m here to see Bounty.”
Oriana walked over and hugged Annabelle’s arm. “Aunty Annabelle, I’m also here to see Aunty Bounty.”
“Oriana, Bounty has been in a coma for a while. When will she wake up?”
Annabelle asked worriedly.
“I plan to take Aunt Bounty to Imperial City to treat her heart disease.”
Immediately Oriana’s words were heard, silence instantly clouded the hallway. Imperial City was a place full of past events and memories. No one wanted to touch the deep scars in their hearts.
At this moment, Oriana’s bright eyes landed on Alpha’s face, “Uncle Alpha, this trip to Imperial is not just for me, Aunt Annabelle, Aunty Bounty, Rory, and you too will come with me.”
Alpha’s expression was not good-looking. He glanced at Oriana, and asked, “Why do you want to take everyone to Imperial City?”
Oriana smiled, and said, “Uncle Alpha, you’ll know once we get there.”
Alpha pursed his lips, then he said without hesitation, “I won’t go, you guys can play on your own.”
With that, Alpha turned around and left, leaving no room for further negotiation. Annabelle grabbed Oriana and whispered, “Oriana, you must have reasons for every decision you make. I can go back to Imperial city with you, but Alpha, it would be a little difficult to convince him.”
Oriana flashed her bright eyes and smiled playfully, “I have to bring Uncle Alpha back this time. There are exceptions to everything, and there are exceptions to Uncle Alpha.”
Annabelle was curious, “What are the exceptions in Alpha’s life?”
Oriana smiled and said nothing. The exception in Alpha’s life was definitely Annabelle.
Oriana took Annabelle out of the hospital. Because they were heading back, they would definitely see Mrs. Samantha, so Oriana and Annabelle went to the auction house to buy some antiques as gift to
Mrs. Samantha.
The moment they arrived at the auction house, Oriana saw two people she knew. They were Eleanor and Franklin.
In the past two days, Eleanor and Franklin had flown directly from the slums to heaven. Today, they wore expensive clothes and jewelries.
Deacon gave them his bank card. The money in it could be swiped at will. Eleanor and Franklin had been running around for the past two days. They were thinking about how to spend money.
They had bought enough clothes and jewelry, but they had no idea that the rich would also come to the auction house to play, so they rushed to the biggest auction house to brag about their new found wealth.
They walked around proudly, as they silently informed those who cared to listen, that they were rich.
Eleanor and Franklin came to a luxurious room. The waiter brought them delicate snacks and drinks.
Franklin shouted, “Hello, who’s the owner of this auction house? Call him out, let him introduce us to some interesting things in the auction house. We want to buy them.”
Eleanor ate a piece of cake, and she couldn’t help but feel that the the auction house was really of high-quality. It was indeed top-notch. Even the cake was so delicious.
“What’s the most expensive thing here, we’ll just buy it!”
Eleanor added.
The auction house was filled with high-class and successful people, so this was the first time the waiter had seen Eleanor and Franklin.
“Sir, ma’am, our boss can’t come down, despite the numbers of goods that you want to purchase.”
“What?”
Franklin muttered in dissatisfaction.
“Look, we’re not short of money,”
Franklin patted the bank card in his pocket.
The waiter smiled, and said, “Sorry, our boss isn’t also short of money.”
Franklin couldn’t believe his ear. He wondered who owned the auction house.
The waiter said again, “Sir, ma’am, please rest for a while. The auction will commence later. When you see something you like, you can raise a sign and bid for it. The higher bidder wins.”
With that, the waiter left.
Eleanor and Franklin mumbled in dissatisfaction. At this moment, when they looked up, they saw Oriana and Annabelle.
Now that they saw Oriana, Eleanor and Franklin’s eyes lit up, “Yo, who is this? Isn’t this President Armstead’s ex lover, the woman who was just abandoned?”
Eleanor looked at Oriana’s beautiful little face with envy. Oriana’s face was much more beautiful than. her daughter’s. If her daughter was born this beautiful, how wonderful would it have been! Eleanor quickly said angrily, “Why did you come to this auction house to play? Do you have any money in your pocket? Your money was given to you by boss Armstead before. Now that Boss Armstead has abandoned you, he has naturally cut you off. My daughter is now president Armstead’s new love. She treats president Armstead very well, and president Armstead even gave us his card to spend as we like.”

Eleanor slapped the bank card on the coffee table in front of her and showed it to Oriana.
Annabelle frowned when she saw that Eleanor and Franklin were talking to Oriana.
“Oriana who are they, and what are they talking about? Why can’t I understand them?”
Her son had a new love, how did she not know that as a mother?
If her son had a new love, she would go to him and break his leg!
Oriana winked playfully at Annabelle, and then she whispered, “Aunty Annabelle, don’t pay attention to them, they are two lu natics.”
At this moment, Eleanor and Franklin looked at Annabelle, and then Eleanor said with hostility, “Who is she? judging from her appearance, she should also be a vixen.”
Oriana couldn’t believe her ears, the Scott’s hadn’t even given her time to introduce Deacon’s mother to them.
At this moment, a charming voice said, “Annabelle, Oriana, why are you all here?”
Oriana looked back and saw that it was Joyce.
“Mummy!”
Oriana quickly called out sweetly.
“Joyce, what are you doing at the auction? Do you want to buy something?”
Annabelle asked curiously.
She hadn’t seen Joyce recently. Joyce was busy with her career, she wanted to open a restaurant, hence the reason she was occupied.
“Shh,”
Joyce quickly placed her finger on her red lips and made a silent gesture, and then whispered mysteriously, “I’ve been looking for the secret of the arena. So, I came to buy it, so let’s be quiet, so that no one will rob me later.”
“The secrets of the arena? What is the secrets of the arena?”
Annabelle asked curiously.
“It’s… that kind of secret book…”
Joyce kept blinking, as she tried to make Annabelle understand.
