Chapter 1981: It's all because of that little bitch, Joanna Lawrence

"Let Mr. Wiggins know that we'll have to reschedule when I'm free. I'll treat him to dinner next time."

"I have an urgent matter to attend to, and I need to leave immediately."

Annie's face changed: "Mr. Marshal, what's so urgent that you need to leave right away? You've already made plans with Mr. Wiggins, and he's waiting for you."

"Baby, I truly have an important matter to attend to. Be good, I'll make it up to you next time."

After saying this, the old man turned around as if he was afraid that Annie would continue to pester him and quickly walked away.

He didn't give Annie any time to react.

By the time Annie realized what had happened, the old man was already far away.

Annie stood there, looking extremely uneasy as she realized what had just taken place.

At this moment, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was Peter Wiggins calling, she nervously gripped her phone tightly.

The phone rang for a while before she answered with an uneasy expression.
