CEO's Revengeful Queen novel Chapter 49

He swallowed, smiled flatteringly and said, "I'm sorry, my dear Ethan, I was wrong. I was just curious why Givenchy, who has always been bad-tempered, would suddenly be so close to Annetta."

"Of course, it's because I'm charming, kind, and cute." Annetta retorted.

In her past life, Hugo had not done anything extreme to her even though he disliked her. At most, he would deprecate her every time they met.

In her previous life, she used to be so angered by his insults that she had almost passed out a few times. In this life, she wanted to have a comeback for everything he said. 

Hugo eyed her incredulously as he said, "Charming, kind and cute? You? Miss, I think you have some misperception about yourself." 

Annetta rolled her eyes at him. She had a sudden flash of inspiration and reached out to hold Ethan's hand. "Ethan, do you think I'm charming, kind and cute?" she asked in a soft, gentle voice. 

Givenchy retracted his tail and leaned against Chanel the moment she held Ethan's hand. He stared at them with his large, golden eyes.

Hugo acted as if he had seen a ghost. He glared at Annetta and held Ethan's hand. Had this woman who had always rebelled against Ethan taken the wrong medicine today? She had actually taken the initiative to hold Ethan's hand and even flirted with him?

Hugo could not believe his eyes. He pointed his trembling fingers at Annetta, as if she was a monster, "You, you, you..."

However, no one paid him any attention. When Ethan saw that she was intimately holding onto his hand, the coldness in his eyes seemed to melt away, and his tone became warm and gentle like never before, "You're cute."

"Hm?" Annetta said flirtingly, "Just cute? Not charming and kind too?"

"You're charming, kind and cute." The man answered without hesitation.

 He did not care that other people were watching their sweet talk.

This time, it wasn't just Hugo who couldn't stand their public display of affection; Howard couldn't either. He bent down and asked Ethan, "Young Master Ethan, what are we going to do about this group of people?"

The man seemed to be in a good mood, and his handsome eyebrows relaxed. "Dismissed," he said.

Howard was shocked. He did not expect that Young Master Ethan, who had been furious, would not hold these people accountable because of Annetta's words.

In the past, these wrongdoers would have gone home with at least a broken arm or leg. Howard was perplexed about how he felt about the situation.

The subordinates, who had been kneeling in the living room, trembling in fear of the two golden pythons, had not expected their master to let them go so easily. They were in a daze for a moment, as if they were living in a dream.

They snapped out of it when Howard said, "Your master has spoken. Why are all of you still kneeling here? Aren't you leaving?"

The group of people hurriedly stood up and fled outside. They almost ran over each other in their haste to get away from the pythons.

"Master, we will solve this hacker invasion incident as soon as possible. We have contacted the world's number one hacker, Hacker A, for help. They have already received their orders."

Annetta listened as Howard reported to Ethan. She had not expected this incident to be the job that she had received today. It seemed that it was a very tricky problem for those people. Otherwise, Ethan would not have been so furious.

She hadn't taken the order in her previous life, and Ethan had not been as kind as he was today either. None of the kneeling people had left this place unscathed.

In this life, her unintentional actions had brought about so much change.

Annetta suddenly remembered why she had come today.

Ethan had most likely not seen Carla's Instagram story. In her previous life, she had never considered assisting Uncle Kevin in his business because she had despised him. As a result, she never had the chance to interact with Leo. Therefore, there was no way they could have been photographed together.

So she wasn't sure if Ethan would fly into a rage once he found out, even though he had promised to trust her that day.

It had taken a lot of effort just to get a shred of his trust. If he had seen Carla's story, the sliver of trust he had in her would have been shattered in an instant. Annetta would never allow this to happen.

Thank God Ethan had not seen Carla's story. She needed to seize this chance and take the initiative to tell him about it before he found out.

She adjusted her facial expression and said, "Ethan, I have something to tell you."
