Remarriage Failed Again Today

Chapter 646: Chapter 656: Probing, Slipping Up (2)

Annabelle Linton had actually noticed this issue as well...

"Maybe it’s for some other reason?"

Ashley Grant nodded again and continued, "Okay, so he doesn’t come looking for her. Fine. Maybe she has some troubles she can’t talk about, things she’s not being truthful over. We can’t know for sure, can we?

But why did she make such a fuss about marrying my brother back then, only for it not to happen? We won’t get into the details—you know why. Since it didn’t happen, why does she have to come running to you?

Does she really have no other relatives? No. I’ve already looked into it. Heh. She has plenty of relatives and friends around here. So under these circumstances, why is she so desperate to squeeze her way in here? What are her real intentions, hm?

Even if she’s truly that naive, doesn’t she understand the first thing about avoiding suspicion? She clearly understands everything but insists on playing dumb. What’s her angle?"

Annabelle Linton’s frown deepened.

She understood everything Ashley Grant was saying. She found it strange too, but there was no proof or reason, was there?

"Sister-in-law, you might not have realized it. You’ve seen me targeting her nonstop, and I admit to that. But actually, I’m targeting her and testing her at the same time.

Think about it. Just how thick-skinned can she be? My brother and I both told her to leave, but she just won’t go. So is her target you, or is it my brother? From trying to marry my brother in the beginning to moving in here now, haven’t you been suspicious, Sister-in-law?"

Ashley Grant wasn’t some foolish shrew who attacked people based on a gut feeling.

Rushing in to scream and shout for no reason was something a thug would do. She, on the other hand, was the model of a fine, modern young woman!

With that, Ashley Grant looked at Annabelle Linton with satisfaction. "You’ve been suspicious. Deeply suspicious, in fact. You were just missing a reason, right?"

’Don’t be fooled by how cold my sister-in-law seems now; that kindness in her heart is still there.’

’If she weren’t suspicious of Annabelle Ainsworth, would she be this calm right now?’

"..."

’This girl is really something...’

Ashley Grant saw Annabelle Linton’s complicated expression, and her lips curled into an amused smile. "Sister-in-law, my current computer skills can smoke 75% of the world’s hackers, and my IQ is at least 30 points higher than the average person’s."

’...Right. I’d almost forgotten that talent like that runs in the family.’

’Mr. and Mrs. Grant gave birth to someone as brilliant as Leona Grant. So even if Ashley Grant didn’t inherit that same genius, being immersed in it from a young age would make her far from ordinary.’

Annabelle Linton closed her eyes, pinching the bridge of her nose as a headache began to form. "It seems we’ve run into an even bigger problem."

"Tch. Her little tricks are all aimed at either my brother or you. If you’re interested, play along with her. If you get bored, just tell her to get lost. Problem solved."

As she spoke, Ashley Grant turned the TV back on and started watching.

’Things were never that simple...’

Annabelle Linton had, of course, thought of all this. The only thing she couldn’t understand was the difference between the Annabelle Ainsworth of this life and the one from her past life.

They were like two completely different people.

On the TV, a scene was playing out where the female lead was misunderstood by the male lead, while a "white lotus" character put on an act.

Ashley Grant squinted, finding the scene hard to watch, and said with a tsk-tsk of disgust, "Celestia sure is a breeding ground for these ’white lotuses,’ huh? Look, we’ve got two right here in our own circle. First, there was Vivian Yates, and now we have Annabelle Ainsworth."

She glanced at the TV with an amused look and said, "I’ve discovered that all the ’white lotuses’ in this world have the same gimmick. They all play the same game: act pure, act innocent, act kind, but they’re just bitches in disguise. Hey, Sister-in-law, don’t take this the wrong way, but sometimes I see a shadow of Vivian Yates in Annabelle Ainsworth. Do you think I’m crazy?"
