Built His Empire Then Watched It Burn When He Cheated novel Chapter 578

Zion knew Elizabeth had angered Jonathan because of his connection to Anneliese.

Jonathan's voice was cold. "It better not be him."

He was almost certain Zacharias was involved.

Otherwise, how could it be a coincidence that Zacharias ran into Anneliese at the hospital, mistakenly thought she was pregnant, and Grandma became agitated right after?

The threat in Jonathan's voice made Zion worry for Zacharias' safety.

…

That day, Nishay didn't eat at all.

By evening, a nurse brought out the untouched tray again. Anneliese took it and knocked before entering the room.

Nishay lay in bed, eyes closed under her blanket.

Anneliese set down the tray and spoke softly. "Grandma, I've already broken up with him. Please get up and eat."

She'd pleaded with her grandmother at noon but got no response.

Jessica had tried too, but nothing worked.

Now, hearing that Anneliese had broken up, Nishay finally opened her eyes.

"Really?"

Anneliese nodded.

Nishay moved, and Anneliese felt a small relief.

She quickly helped her sit up. Once seated, Nishay reached out. "Give me your phone."

Anneliese froze. She hesitated at her grandmother's pale face but handed over the phone. "Are you calling someone?"

Nishay stared at the phone. "Unlock it."

Anneliese unlocked her phone and handed it over. Nishay opened the contacts. The first was Jonathan, saved as 'Hubby.'

Her gaze lingered on the name, her expression darkening.

Nishay's fingers shook as she tried to block Jonathan, her intention clear.

Under Nishay's gaze, Anneliese blocked Jonathan's contacts. Only then did Grandma eat a little and agree to rest and return to the hospital in the morning.

Anneliese left the room, exhausted.

Jessica walked with her to the master bedroom. "Are you really breaking up with Mr. Fullbuster?"

Anneliese collapsed on the bed, not wanting to move.

Seeing her like this, Jessica sighed. "Don't be too pessimistic. Your grandmother isn't unreasonable. Give her time—she'll come around."

She gently patted Anneliese's shoulder.

Anneliese opened her eyes. "But what if she never does?"

Her grandmother had always been stubborn. After losing Anneliese's foster parents, she'd never let go—how could she suddenly change now?

Jessica's brow furrowed, then she rested her hand on her stomach, eyes lighting up.

"Then, hurry and give Mr. Fullbuster a baby! Once there's a baby, your grandmother won't be able to break you up." She grinned. "Or just tell her you're already pregnant…"

Anneliese rubbed her face. "Don't push it. What if she can't handle the shock?"
