CHAPTER 132

"Miss Acevedo, you're being dramatic," Anabel chuckled. "I'm a law-abiding citizen. I wouldn't do something like that."

Instead of looking relieved, Madalyn pressed on with her questions. "You mean ruin my looks? Lock me up? Hire someone to take nude photos of me? Or leave me disabled?"

Anabel laughed lightly. "Miss Acevedo, your imagination is quite vivid. But it's not vivid enough." She sipped her coffee slowly. "For example, you might imagine that Alexander loves you so much that the Moran and Powell families wouldn't dare to touch you, but they could go after the people around you. Of course, you could choose to live a solitary life, having nothing but Alexander. No family, no relatives, no friends, no colleagues, no servants, and so on. You can also picture everyone around you scheming against you, ensuring you never find peace, and so on."
