Built His Empire Then Watched It Burn When He Cheated novel Chapter 616

Anneliese nodded without saying much.

She had met Steven before. Last time, Steven and Gianna's mother, Wendy, had even saved her. She also liked Ellie a lot. Even India, who could have been considered a love rival, had never given her a bad feeling.

Her overall impression of the Malone family was still good.

Only Gianna stood out. Her personality and the way she handled things were nothing like her mother or brother. Anneliese found her truly annoying.

"If anything happens to Jess' baby, I'll make her pay for it," Anneliese said. A cold look flashed in her eyes.

Jonathan lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Yeah. I'll help you."

"You're the best," Anneliese said. She lifted her head and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Just as their eyes met, a familiar and angry voice suddenly sounded from not far to their side.

"What are you two doing?"

The moment Anneliese heard that voice, her whole body stiffened. Her scalp went numb.

Jonathan felt her tense up and pulled her closer to himself without thinking.

Anneliese suddenly pushed him away. She stood up fast and turned her head. She saw Nishay standing not far away while still wearing a hospital gown.

Anneliese's face turned white. "Grand… Grandma… Why are you here?"

They were in the emergency area of the obstetrics department.

Earlier, Jonathan had chosen a restaurant near the hospital only because it was convenient for Anneliese to go back and forth. He had asked Zane to book it near the hospital where Nishay was staying.

No one expected Jessica to suddenly get into trouble. She had been sent to the nearest hospital, which happened to be this one. She had run right into Nishay.

When Nishay walked over, Jonathan also stood up. He moved slightly in front of Anneliese without thinking. He stood in a position where he could pull her behind him at any moment. His attitude stayed polite.

"Grandma."

Nishay's eyes swept over the two of them. This time, she didn't react as strongly as before.

In the end, her eyes settled on Anneliese's stomach. Her voice shook. "Anne, are you pregnant with his baby?"

Anneliese froze for a second. She stayed speechless.

When Nishay saw that Anneliese didn't deny it at all, her vision went dark. Her body swayed.

She looked at Anneliese with deep disappointment. Anneliese felt her breathing slow for a moment.

Jonathan couldn't stand seeing her scolded like this in public.

He spoke in a low voice. "I was the one bothering her the whole time…"

"Be quiet!" Nishay snapped. She grabbed Anneliese's hand. "You're coming with me."

Anneliese didn't move. "Grandma, something happened to Jess. She's still in the emergency room. Can you go back to your room first? I promise that once Jess is okay, I'll come and explain everything to you."

Nishay frowned. When she heard that Jessica was the one in trouble, she didn't insist on dragging Anneliese away. She let go of her hand.

Her face stayed dark. "Remember what you just said."

She turned and walked toward the elevator. Jonathan glanced at Zion beside him. Zion hurried to follow her.

Once Nishay left, Anneliese's shoulders slumped.

Now Nishay knew that they had not broken up at all. Anneliese didn't even know how angry she would be this time.
