Chapter 4. Woman, Have You No Shame?!

Annetta’s flattery had evidently affected him deeply.

Caleb had never expected Annetta to say such a thing.

He had no feelings for Annetta, but the woman who had always chased after him was now praising another guy right before his eyes.

Caleb was furious. “I’m mediocre? I’m not even as good as Ethan’s hair?” He scoffed as he said, “Just look at your own ugly face. Do you think that Ethan actually likes you?! You stupid woman! He’s just messing with you! Only a fool like you would think it is true love!”

“I’m willing to let him mess with me. After all, he is Young Master Ethan of the Harris family in Toronto,” Annetta replied with a smile.

“As for you…”

Annetta sized him up, her eyes filled with contempt as she articulated each word clearly, “You are nothing.”

“You!” Caleb was so enraged that his finger, which was pointing at Annetta, shook. “Woman, have you no shame?!”

Annetta’s smile disappeared immediately at Caleb’s words. She glared at him coldly. Considering the filthy things they had done to her in her previous life, he dared to talk to her about being shameless?

Annetta’s red lips curled slightly, and she suddenly beckoned to him with her finger.

Caleb was stunned by Annetta’s watery and beautiful eyes. It was the first time in more than a decade that he had noticed the stunning eyes this woman possessed. He couldn’t resist coming nearer for a closer look.

Annetta suddenly grabbed his shirt and pulled him in front of her.

Caleb narrowed his eyes, confused at the particularly ambiguous distance between them.

Was she trying to play hard-to-get?

Annetta’s nails gently slid across Caleb’s neck, Adam’s apple, collarbone, gradually moving downwards.

Her beautiful eyes were close, and her breath wandered in his ear as if she were kissing him. It made his heart itch uncontrollably.

The woman exuded a faint fragrance, which was very seductive. Caleb was enchanted for the time being. He looked as she got closer to his lips, slowly, gradually leaning over, about to kiss him…

Amidst his trance, he suddenly saw Annetta’s hand turn red and asked, “Where did the blood come from…?”

“Why, it’s yours!” The woman said cheekily.

Caleb’s eyes widened, and then he felt a sharp pain in his neck. He covered his neck with his hand and looked at his palm. He saw the blood on his palm and was scared out of his wits. This woman had cut his neck with a piece of the shattered vase!

Annetta’s clear and bright eyes were as cold as night. She was smiling, but there was no humour in her smile. Instead, it made her ugly face more gloomy and terrifying.

Caleb only felt his anger rising and was about to swear at her. But at this moment, the woman was staring at him like a poisonous python staring at its prey. It made him unconsciously feel cold and stiff.

How could this be possible? How could this woman make him tremble with fear? No! There must be some mistake!

“Annetta White, you!” Caleb flew into a rage because of his embarrassment upon coming to his senses. Annetta’s grip on his collar was so strong that he could not break free.

Annetta carefully revelled in all the expressions on Caleb’s face—bewilderment, shock, shame, fury, hatred and fear, before releasing him with a wicked smile.

Caleb, who had been struggling to break free, was caught off guard. He took a few steps back and crashed backwards onto the ground.

“Caleb Taylor, didn’t you come to apologize to me? Do you want to know what you need to do to earn my forgiveness?”

Annetta looked at the wretched Caleb arrogantly.

The woman who used to bow to his every whim and fancy had transformed into someone else entirely within a short period. She was the one in control now and glared at him as if she was a queen regarding her subject. Caleb was stunned and subconsciously blurted out, “What do you want?”

Annetta stared into his eyes and said, “Kneel before me, and maybe I’ll forgive you.”

Caleb immediately opened his eyes wide. He was furious. Covering his bleeding neck, he got up from the ground and pointed at Annetta in resentment. “In your dreams, Ugly!”

He wanted to scold her, but when he thought of how this woman had become so strange overnight, Caleb broke out in a cold sweat.

She had almost cut his carotid artery. “Damn,” Caleb cursed in his heart when he remembered the days where she had been his ‘lapdog.’ “Was this woman a pervert?”

Caleb’s mind was in chaos. When he came to his senses, he realised that his back was drenched in sweat. In the end, he could only brush his sleeves and leave in a huff.

Annetta’s eyes were as deep and cold as the sea as she looked at the man’s retreating figure. She thought to herself, “So you don’t want to kneel before me? Fine! One day, I’ll make you lose your reputation and everything you have. I’ll make you pay a hundred times more than what you put me through in my last life!”

Caleb angrily rushed towards the door. In his rage, he didn’t see the man standing there.

“Young Master Ethan, should I go after him?” Howard asked Ethan. After all, barging into the Harris family was a very serious offence.

The man’s face was cold and grim. His eyes were as dark as night, but he did not say a word. No one could decipher his thoughts.

Just then, Annetta’s voice came from inside the bedroom. “Who’s there?”

Howard was stunned when he saw Young Master Ethan walking in.

He knew that Annetta always came first in Young Master Ethan’s eyes no matter what.

Annetta had praised Ethan in front of Caleb, but in reality, she was terrified when she saw him. In her previous life, her meeting with Caleb had been the last straw for Ethan. He had imprisoned her in the Harris family dungeon for a month and had tortured her brutally, making her life a living hell.

In this life, she had asked Caleb to meet in the bedroom for one purpose only—to tell Ethan that she would never have any delusions about a scumbag like Caleb Taylor even if they met in the bedroom.

She had blacklisted this douche the moment he had broken her legs.

However, Ethan’s character was unpredictable. Annetta did not have any confidence that the trajectory of her current life would change just because she had started to do things differently.

With this in mind, she made the first move, “Ethan… I let Caleb in just now because he claimed that he wanted to apologize for his actions. I never thought that he would have such an attitude about it. This man is really scum!”

She said in a very aggrieved way, with tears in her eyes, looking weak, helpless and pitiful. As if the person who had just cut Caleb’s throat and scared him away had not been her.

Annetta was met with silence after she had finished speaking.

Howard was completely speechless. He had seen the blood on Caleb’s neck.

Most importantly, this woman had caused that!

He looked at Annetta and felt that there was something different about her.

In the past, she had always fondly called that wild man ‘Caleb, Caleb.’ She used to despise Young Master Ethan to the core of her being. Now she was as fragile as a bunny in front of him? And even called him by his first name?
