Chapter 538 – A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Posted on March 12, 2025 by admin

Filed to story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Things were far more difficult than she had thought.

It was useless to talk about it now, it would only stimulate Bounty’s emotions.

“Oh,”

Bounty said with a laugh,”

Later, I opened his locked drawer. The drawer was full of portraits of Annabelle.”

“After all we shared together, he forgot about that and fell in love Annabelle.”

“At that time, the baby was gone, and I was in despair. I filed for a divorce. He was ashamed and signed the divorce agreement. Then he stayed away from Canada, I never want to see him again.”

Oriana quickly analysed the whole issue in her head, not letting go of any clues. Now, she still wanted to find Rory before she could conclude.

“Principal Bounty, if you trust me, let me investigate this matter.”.

“Oriana, after I said so much, do you still think that Annabelle is a good person? She…”

Oriana held onto Bounty’s cold hand. “Principal Bounty, if Aunty Annabelle is not a good person, then let me take this opportunity to reveal her true colors. Isn’t it better?”

Bounty was startled.

“If Aunty Annabelle is a good person, it means that there was another secret back then. Principal Bounty, don’t you want to find out the real murderer, do you want your baby to die in vain?”

Oriana asked, her beautiful voice was sonorous and powerful.

Bounty was stunned. After a long time, she looked tired, as if all her strength had been drained. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Oriana clenched Bounty’s hand. She always felt that there was something off about the incident. Since then, a lot of things have happened between Alpha and Annabelle. These events seem to be connected together. It seems that a long time ago, before anyone noticed, someone had already planted a seed of dispute in the Armstead family.

In other words, there was always a pair of eyes staring at the Armstead family in the dark. Who was that messenger, and what was his purpose?

Oriana felt suspicious. She seemed to have sensed something, but she was unable to firmly grasp it.

Oriana’s clear eyes slowly filled with a sharp light, and all of a sudden, she was radiant. She was never afraid of difficulties and dangers.

“Principal Bounty, I think you’re very tired. I’ll drive you home to rest. From today onwards, I’ll see you every day.”

Oriana felt that the messenger in the dark had opened a gap in Bounty’s heart. Everything started from Bounty, so she suspected that the messenger would still find Bounty.

Bounty nodded, “Okay, Oriana, it’s best for you to speak with me. By the way, Oriana, I have something to tell you!”

Oriana pursed her lips, and said “Go ahead, principal, I’m listening.”

“This matter is about Deacon, Oriana, you have to prepare yourself me ntally.”

As Oriana stared at Bounty’s solemn expression, she also restrained her smile. “Principal Bounty. what’s wrong with Mr. Armstead? Did something happen to him?”

Looking at Oriana’s nervous and concerned expression, Bounty suddenly felt angry. She always felt that Deacon was not worthy of such a good girl like Oriana.

“Oriana, nothing happened to Deacon. You don’t have to worry. He’s doing fine right now.”

Bounty handed her photo to Oriana, as she showed her the picture she had taken earlier.

Oriana immediately saw Deacon. He was holding a girl in his arms. The girl was wearing his suit and her face was buried in his arms. The two of them looked very close.

In the past few years, there had been a lot of scandalous rumors about Deacon. Different kind of women also hovered around him, but Deacon had always kept a safe distance from them. However, with this girl in his arms, it was different.

Oriana had the most sensitive sense. She could see at a glance how special the girl was to Deacon.

Who was the girl?

She remembered that Deacon had driven to pick her up, but he suddenly called to say that there was something wrong at the company.

Now that the truth came out, he did not go to the company at all, but was with a girl.

He actually lied.

It was the first time in so many years that Oriana had seen Deacon lie. He actually told her a lie because of a girl.

“Oriana, before I came, I saw Deacon outside express hotel. This girl’s name is Naomi and her family is very poor. She is already married, but her husband abuses her. I heard that in the express hotel, her husband specially took her to a room and whipped her. Later, i saw that Deacon had rushed over to save the girl like a hero. I watched him carry Naomi away,”

Bounty narrated her truth

Oriana was silent for a few seconds, then she said, “Principal Bounty, thank you for telling me this. I’ll send you home first. Then I’ll go to Deacon, and ask him about the Naomi girl”

Bounty looked at Orianas’s calm and intelligent appearance, she said, “Oriana, don’t be afraid. If Deacon really hurts you, you can kick him out of your life. There are many men who likes you. There are lining up for your attention.”

she reminded.

Oriana was amused, as she listened to Bounty.

Oriana took Bounty home, and then she went directly to Deacon’s villa.

The maid opened the villa’s door and Oriana walked in. At this moment, Peterson hurried over.

“Miss Hendrix, why are you here? Why didn’t you inform us that you were coming. I could have picked you up.”

Peterson said tensely.

Oriana smiled, “I just wanted to surface unannounced. I want to see if your master is picking up some chick on the roadside behind my back.”

Peterson felt guilty and his eyes flashed.

Oriana could see Peterson’s guilty expression, “Where’s Deacon? Upstairs?”

With that, she lifted her foot and was about to go upstairs to find Deacon.

“Miss Hendrix, “Peterson quickly blocked Oriana, “Miss Hendrix, why don’t you sit down first and I’ll report to master that you’re here.”

Oriana halted. She straightened her slender and beautiful back, and her bright eyes looked at Peterson, and she ordered, “Get out of the way!”

Peterson’s scalp went numb. Oriana was not an ordinary woman. She was a daughter of Visionary, and her courage was not inferior to her master. How could he dare to stop her?

Peterson obediently stepped aside.

“Master, what did I tell you? You’re playing with fire and setting yourself on fire, you’re done!”

Peterson cried inwardly.

Oriana went upstairs and pushed open the door of the guest room. There was a pungent smell of disinfectant in the room. There were many doctors and nurses in white coats. They were treating Naomi’s wounds.

Naomi changed into a white dress and laid timidly on the bed. When the disinfectant touched her wound, she sighed in pain. Her big eyes were red and she was really pitiful.

Deacon stood beside her, as he watched the doctor treat Naomi’s wound.

At this moment, the door was pushed open. Deacon turned his head and saw Oriana standing by the door.

“Oriana, why are you here?”

Deacon quickly walked over and held Oriana’s soft hand.

A smile appeared on Orianas’s beautiful face. She even winked at him, “I heard that you picked up a girl, so I came to take a look.”

Deacon raised his head, his sharp eyes brushed past Oriana, and landed on Peterson.

Peterson suddenly began sweating, as he swore inwardly that he had nothing to do with it.

Orianas’s bright eyes diverted from Deacon’s handsome face to Naomi’s face. She saw that Naomi also raised her big red eyes and now stared at her.

Oriana walked to the bedside. She looked down at Naomi, and then she smiled at Deacon, “Who is she, Mr. Armstead?”

Deacon felt that Oriana’s smile was particularly bright tonight. He held tighter to her hand, “Her name is Naomi.”

“Big Brother, I…”

Naomi. said softly and timidly.

Oriana interrupted her, “Big brother? Mr.Armstead, why am I not aware that Aunt Annabelle has a daughter?”

Deacon quickly pursed his thin lips. He stretched out his strong arms and wrapped his arms around Oriana’s slender waist.

“She’s Naomi, a girl that I ran over last night. So, I had brought her back.”

Since Oriana came in. She had not even spoken to Naomi. She was just talking to Deacon. Her aura of a righteous lady had crushed Naomi.

Naomi sat on the bed, her face pale and weak.

Peterson, who stood at the door couldn’t help but give Oriana a thumbs up. To him, Orianas’s presence was indeed different.

Oriana reached out and pushed Deacon away. She seemed to suddenly remember that there was someone else in the room called Naomi.

“Peterson, come over and get me a chair,”

Oriana said to Peterson.

“Alright, Miss Hendrix, Peterson quickly stepped forward and brought a chair.

“Miss Hendrix, please take a seat.”

Orianas sat close to the edge of the bed, and her bright eyes stared straight at Naomi.
