Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 277

Even if he dodged it that time, what about next time?

Who knew what else they would be facing in the future?

Joyce thought that Yuliana should know better than to be like her. The former had been married to Kendrick for

almost ten years, but she still did not know what her husband was thinking. It was only recently that she found out

that Kendrick was hiding so much from her.

In fact, when Christopher came back that night, Yuliana already had some speculations. If he was hurt accidentally,

he would not need to make up an excuse and lie to her.

She knew that Christopher did not tell her the truth because he did not want her to worry.

Therefore, even if Yuliana knew about the truth from Joyce, she did not mention it to Christopher. Nonetheless,

when Christopher came home slightly late sometimes, she would call him from time to time, asking him when he

would come home because she wanted to make sure that he was safe.

At the beginning of August, it rained for several days, and the weather finally cooled down.

Annabelle was going to hold an art exhibition at the end of August. Recently, she had been so busy that she had no

time or intention to focus on something else. However, she still knew about what happened in the Solace family.

When Solace Corporation announced to the public about the car accident Kendrick was involved in abroad, and that

Christopher would be the Acting Chairman, Yvette called her immediately to inquire about the situation.

No one would believe that she did not know anything about that.

However, Annabelle was stunned for a while after knowing the news of Kendrick’s accident. After talking to Yvette

on the phone, she called Joyce and asked about Kendrick’s condition.

During her stay in the Solace residence over the years, although she was not close to Kendrick, the latter treated

her politely. Because of Christopher and Yuliana, she was a little dissatisfied with Kendrick. Despite that, she had

been treating him as her elder brother for so many years.

However, Joyce obviously did not want to say anything more. Her statement was consistent with that of Solace

Corporation. She only told Annabelle that Kendrick had a car accident and was now being treated in Nardor.

Annabelle was not a fool. Naturally, she could understand the hidden meaning, so she did not probe further.

Unexpectedly, after Solace Corporation released those two pieces of news to the public, some people in the

financial circle started to gossip about Solace Corporation, and finally, the public opinion turned to Christopher,

Yuliana, and Annabelle. People were always attracted to scandals that happened in rich families.

As public opinion began to spread virally, it went out of control, especially those that targeted Yuliana. The netizens

found out about where Yuliana worked and reported it to the school and the Education Bureau.

Annabelle felt that Yuliana was wronged. Annabelle knew that those people seemed to be targeting Yuliana, but in

fact, they were targeting Christopher. They wanted to slander Christopher’s reputation and make him unable to

take the position of Chairman of Solace Corporation.

She thought about clarifying for Yuliana for the sake of the Solace family, but she was afraid that she would add fuel

to the fire. Therefore, she communicated with. Layla and Joyce beforehand. The two felt that the most important

thing at that critical time was to cool the matter down. If she responded to that matter again, it would only lead

public opinion to a higher level, and maybe it would be more difficult to solve in the end.

As such, it was better to do nothing and say nothing. The public’s attention was time-bound. As long as the heat

passed, no one would pay attention to that matter

anymore.

Unexpectedly, it took nearly half a month to let the matter pass.

Annabelle had not been out for a week in a row. That day, Yvette invited her to go to the beauty salon for facial and

body care.

She did not get up until noon. After she ordered some takeout, put on her makeup slowly, and changed her clothes,

she drove to the beauty salon. It was three o’clock in the afternoon. Yvette was already waiting for her in the VIP

lounge.

When the latter saw her coming, she could not help complaining sarcastically, “You’re so punctual!”

They were supposed to meet at half past two, and Annabelle was half an hour late.

In order to wait for Annabelle so that they could do it together, Yvette had no choice but to give up the scheduled

slot to others and delay theirs.

Annabelle did not sleep until it was almost dawn. If she had not made an appointment with Yvette, she would not

have wanted to go out. She would just sleep until evening. It was hard enough for her to get there before three

o’clock. At that time, she did not look very energetic.

Sitting down in the chair, she had to fight against the urge to doze off.

She yawned and replied, “You should be grateful that I agreed to go out with you.”

Looking at her, Yvette knew that she must have stayed up late again last night. Her dark circles could not even be

concealed under her makeup. It was fortunate that she looked pretty regardless.

She complained, “Can’t you sleep early at night? Let me tell you. Don’t stay up late just because you’re still young

now. In two more years, your skin will become sagging and swollen, looking sallow. You’ll regret it by that time.”

Hearing that, Annabelle was shocked. She subconsciously touched her face and frowned. “I’ll let the beautician do

some treatments later.”

Of course, she knew about the theories, but she could not help it.

While they were talking, the manager of the beauty salon led the two distinguished guests into the lounge.

Annabelle subconsciously raised her head and looked at the person behind the manager for a moment. The person

was talking to the manager. When she noticed that someone was also in the VIP lounge, she looked over and met

Annabelle’s gaze.

They looked at each other. Annabelle twitched the corner of her lips, averted her gaze, and continued to talk to

Yvette.

The manager took them to have a seat, and the staff brought in two cups of coffee. The manager handed the

coffee to the women and smiled respectfully. “Ms. Lynch, Ms. Pope, please have a rest in the VIP lounge first. I’ll

arrange it for you immediately.”

Scarlett smiled and nodded. “Okay, thank you.”

The manager replied politely, “Don’t bother. It’s our job.” Then, he went out of the VIP lounge and left his staff to

serve the guests there. The coffee and desserts served were all exquisite.

Yvette and Annabelle looked at each other and smiled mockingly. “It seems that there is a different kind of

treatment among the VIP members!”

They were not treated like that when they arrived just now.

Hearing that, the staff of the beauty salon looked embarrassed and hurriedly asked, “I’m sorry. Do you need

anything else?”

Ms. Lynch and Ms. Pope mentioned by the manager earlier looked in their direction immediately.

Yvette just said it casually. She did not really want to make a fuss, as she knew very well that the beauty salon was a

top-notch beauty salon in Juxshire. It was obvious that people who were welcomed respectfully by the manager in

person did not come from families with simple backgrounds.

They could not afford to mess with certain groups of people.

She shot a sidelong glance at the staff. Just when she was about to say, “Forget it,” Annabelle suddenly smiled and

said, “Whatever you serve them, give it to us too.” Hearing that, the staff’s expression was frozen, and they looked

embarrassed.

Serving them the same coffee was not an issue, but the dessert was specially prepared for Scarlett as she ordered

before she came. There was only one serving. An ordinary VIP member generally did not have that kind of

treatment. All the desserts they served were the same.

Scarlett smiled and said, “Ms. Johnson, if you don’t mind, I’ll give this to you. Don’t put the staff in a difficult

situation.”
