Chapter 531
Had Skylar noticed the black magic when she observed the porcelain pieces? If Skylar had picked up on it and if Jeremy found out…
Terror seized Annabelle as she thought about the potential links between each possibility.
No, that was impossible. Skylar was extremely young. How would she know so much? The person who helped her had been at least 80 years old. He’d promised her no one would pick up on his black magic anymore.
Annabelle couldn’t suppress her panic as her mind raced.
Jeremy’s expression remained stiff as he scanned Annabelle from head to toe. The faint fragrance that had shaken his determination seemed to have dissipated. It had deprived him of logic, and he had been overcome with the
desire to bed her.
He seemed to remember this fragrance when he’d first lost control of himself and slept with Annabelle. Was it His imagination? Was he trying to find.
excuses for his infidelity?
Jeremy’s expression became even icier. He walked away without saying a

Annabelle trembled slightly. She desperately tried to stop shaking. Jeremy would probably never spare her a glance ever again.

“Was this a newly developed drug?” guessed Joe with his last remnants of

The door was pushed open. A tall figure strode in.
Annie immediately glanced over.
Joe was headed toward the bathroom as though driven by instinct. As he was about to get there, he suddenly noticed her.
