Before the challenge match, she had gotten into a public dispute with Gianna outside the stadium. There had been plenty of reporters present at the time, and Pepper had been standing beside Gianna the entire time. If it was reported online, there had to be photos of her.
Anneliese searched online, but the results disappointed her.
There were no reports at all about her conflict with Gianna, and she knew that Adrian must be the one who suppressed the news.
It had to be said that Adrian was clearly very experienced at cleaning up Gianna's messes. Such an ugly scandal hadn't caused any stir online at all.
No wonder Gianna dared to keep stirring up trouble—someone was always there to back her up.
Seeing Anneliese was deep in thought with a frown, Jonathan asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Annelise shook her head. "It's hard to find online. I'll check Madam Chalmont's WhatsApp." As she spoke, she opened Wendy's WhatsApp moments.
Wendy didn't post often, so there weren't many photos. It didn't take long before Anneliese found one photo with Pepper in the background. It seemed to have been taken at Ellie's birthday.
Then, she saved the photo and immediately sent it to Jessica.
'Jessica, take a look at it. Is Mrs. Shayman the woman in the blue dress who came to your hospital room?'
Jessica might not have had her phone nearby since Anneliese waited for a long time without receiving a reply. Just as she was about to call, Jonathan reached over and took the phone from her hand.
Anneliese looked up in surprise, but Jonathan tossed the phone aside and grabbed her chin as he leaned in.
"Honey, don't you think you've been ignoring me for far too long?"
Hearing his words, Anneliese blinked and wondered if she had. However, when she met his gaze, which was clearly filled with dissatisfaction, her heart softened. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips.
She realized that Jonathan was becoming frighteningly good at getting under her skin.
Before the kiss could end, the phone that was being tossed aside rang.
