Chapter 1128

Annie nearly choked on the coffee she was drinking. “Cough, cough! Are you saying your girlfriend is

Miss Xante?”

Sunny nodded. “That’s right.”

Annie’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground. ‘The two of them couldn’t be any more different, so how did

they end up together?’

“Does that mean…you’re going to be the trophy husband in the future?” muttered Annie.

“Oh my god, Annie. You should get your brain checked,” said Sunny unhappily. “She’s going to marry

into my family, not the other way round. If anything, she’s going to be the trophy wife.”

Annie took another sip of her coffee. “Is there a difference? But I must say, I’m impressed you’ve

managed to snag Miss Xante. After all, she’s a workaholic known to shun any advances from other

men.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Sunny’s eyes lit up. “Really? Is that really true?”

Annie nodded. “Yeah! There were a few good-looking project partners who tried to court Miss Xante,

but she turned them all down in the end. They’d send her flowers and buy her bags, but she’d either

return the gifts or throw them away. As a matter of fact, some of my colleagues were starting to wonder

if she doesn’t like guys.”

Sunny was very happy to hear that. Frankly, he was a little bummed out by how he and Xante started.

He kept wondering if Xante treated other men the same way she treated him, so when Annie told him

Xante usually shunned other men, he immediately felt relieved.

‘So she’s not as wild as she makes herself out to be!’ he told himself.

At that moment, the elevator door dinged open, and Edmund walked out with two burly bodyguards.

Their target? Sunny Rivera.

“Wha… What are you doing here, Edmund?” cried Sunny with shock.

“Mister Lucas asked me to escort you home.”

“Lucas did? How does he know I’m here?” asked Sunny nervously.

“I told him,” said Xante indifferently as she walked out of Aaron’s office.

“You… You called my brother?” said Sunny in shock.

Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. “Yes. I wouldn’t have to do that if you had just gone home

as I told you to.”

Sunny was hurt by the betrayal. “How dare you! I just wanted to have lunch with you, yet you snitched

on me to my brother? You know I fear him the most! How could you…”

Xante felt a little guilty when she saw how hurt he was.

Edmund put a hand on Sunny, who tried to break free from the bodyguards. “Let’s go home, Mister

Sunny.”

“No!” exploded Sunny. “I’m not going home! Let go of me!”

Edmund sighed helplessly. He then gestured for the two burly bodyguards to escort Sunny out. After

that, he gave Xante a curt nod before following the three of them to the elevator.

Xante sighed with relief, but it was not even one second later when she frowned.

“Why the sad face? Does it hurt you to see him being hauled back like that?” asked Aaron, who was

leaning casually against the doorway.

Xante turned around and glared at him. “P*ss off!”

Aaron smiled and shrugged. He then looked at Annie, who was visibly in shock.
