CEO's Revengeful Queen novel Chapter 22

"My wife and I were about to go abroad for vacation. Miss White called unexpectedly and asked for a favour, so we came straight from the airport to fulfil her request. Now that we've done that, we will be heading back to the airport now." 

He turned to Annetta and said, "Miss White, here is the gown you asked for."

He took the gown from the man in black and personally handed it to her.

"Thank you, Uncle Foster," Annetta replied with a smile.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

None of them, Lorin included, expected the prominent Lance Foster to come from the airport to personally deliver a gown to Annetta just because of her one phone call. Not only that, he regarded her, who was young enough to be his granddaughter, with great respect. 

This Powell's granddaughter, Annetta White, who was she exactly? 

Lance did not say anything more. After delivering the package and greeting Annetta, he left with his wife and men. 

After they had left, Kevin ran over and addressed the question on everyone's minds, "Annetta, what's going on between you and President Foster? Why are both of them so respectful towards you?"

Annetta smiled and said, "I saved them once. President Foster and his wife encountered some thugs while they were travelling, and I happened to pass by." 

Annetta said this understatedly as if it wasn't an important matter at all.

Both Lorin and Kevin were stunned. Annetta had always been delicate and weak. How could she possibly had rescued the powerful Fosters, who never went anywhere without their bodyguards?

Annetta did not elaborate. She turned to Francine and said with a faint smile, "You'll be disappointed to hear that I am his saviour, not his lover like you assumed." 

Francine was taken aback for a while, then smiled fawningly and said, "Look at the way you said it, dear. I believed what the White family said. I didn't know that they were jealous of you and even spread rumours that you had an illicit relationship with Mr. Foster. I'll teach the Whites a lesson the next time I see them!"

......

Annetta did not reply. Not that she did not want to bicker with Francine, she just wanted nothing else to damper her grandfather’s spirits on his birthday. After all, compared to her previous life where he had suffered a heart attack because of Hunk, her grandfather was currently alive and well, which was already a matter for rejoicing. 

As for the White family and Francine, she had plenty of time to deal with them later.

On the other side of the story, Hunk and his family were in a sorry state. 

On the way home, Hunk erupted into a rage. Being utterly humiliated at that party was something he could not bear for someone like him who valued dignity above all else.

Cicely and Carla, who had been gleefully making troubles at the Powell's just now, were now as silent as two quails. None of them dared to make any sound. 

Back at their house, Greer, their maid asked, "Mr. White, Madam, and Miss, why are you back so early?"

It was better if she had not asked anything. Hunk kicked over the coffee table in the living room in response. 

Carla felt extremely aggrieved upon seeing Hunk go upstairs and her mother crying in fear. 

Maliciousness flashed in her eyes. 

She opened her Messenger and looked for her chat history with Caleb. He had sent her a screenshot of the love message Annetta sent to him when she had confessed to him! 

Carla quickly posted it on Facebook with the caption: "My sister's love message to Caleb is so touching. She really loves him so much!" 

There were three screenshots of Annetta and Caleb's chat history below, along with a love poem she wrote to him.
