CEO's Revengeful Queen novel Chapter 9

Howard shuddered when he thought of her soft voice.

But even so, the woman's provoking behaviour had crossed a line. Howard did not think that Young Master Ethan would let her off lightly!

The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The air seemed to freeze, making people feel stifled. 

Annetta's scalp turned numb. She subconsciously straightened her back and raised her eyes to look at the man.

In this life, she still could not figure out the man's secret thoughts. She worried that her coquetry would be useless against him and, just like in her previous life, he would lock her up again.

The man's eyes had been fixed on her since he entered the door. His eyes were like deep pools of still water, making it impossible to see through them.

It was precisely this that made Annetta unable to grasp how he felt towards this matter. 

After a while, the man pursed his lips and took a big step towards Annetta.

Bending down, he grabbed Annetta's chin with one hand. The familiar yet fearful aura of the man was overwhelming. Annetta was scared out of her wits.

Fear made her instinctively want to resist. But she knew that if she made any move, he would exert much more force on her. 

Annetta's chin hurt so much she felt that it was in danger of being crushed by him.

She sat stiffly in the wheelchair, not daring to move.

Even though she had been continuously brainwashing herself, Annetta miserably discovered that she still had a deep-rooted fear towards the man.

As a result, she did not see the man's deep eyes, the red at the tip of his ears, and Adam's apple rolling up and down.

Annetta could not read the man's thoughts. She only heard him mutter, "Take her there," to Howard, before he turned around and left.

Annetta looked at Ethan leave in disbelief. Did this mean that she...had gotten away with it?

In the past, she always assumed that Ethan had nothing but a morbid possessiveness towards her. However, there seemed to be something that she had overlooked.

For example, in her previous life, Caleb had not cared when she had fractured her arm after falling off a horse. Ethan, on the other hand, had personally taken care of her for a month.

Now, he was the only one who had noticed her injury and had even carefully treated it for her.
