Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Annabelle Ainsworth, Vivian Yates
Chase Lynch said nonchalantly, "Annabelle Ainsworth isn’t coming back. As for you... Leona Grant fired you. I’ve arranged a cover story for you to go study abroad in Kaltland. You can also say you’re getting over a broken heart. Don’t worry about the rest; no one will suspect anything. When the time is right, you can get plastic surgery to change your face back."
Vivian Yates looked at him in surprise. "What do you mean she’s not coming back?"
Chase Lynch said apathetically, "She’s dead."
"Dead?"
"She was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago. She died two or three months ago."
Vivian Yates suddenly understood why the Anson Family had been so good to her. So that was it—Annabelle Ainsworth had been sick the whole time. No wonder they’d doted on her like the apple of their eye.
Chase Lynch then added, his face devoid of expression, "You’d better not screw this up for me again. Don’t stop taking the vocal cord medication or any of the other potions. If you fail this time, I’ll make your death very rhythmic!"
Annabelle Ainsworth was the eldest daughter of the Anson Family. Her mother was Annabelle Linton’s aunt and also William Chapman’s older sister.
She and Annabelle Linton looked alike, had similar personalities, and even nearly identical figures. Growing up, they were often mistaken for twins.
Later, when Annabelle Ainsworth was in her second year of middle school, she saw Leona Grant playing basketball and fell head over heels for her.
But to avoid affecting her relationship with Annabelle Linton, she went abroad.
But she never forgot Leona Grant. For the past few years, she had been battling cancer. Six months ago, her condition worsened, and she lost all hope.
She hadn’t told her parents or anyone else about her treatment. After three more months, however, her doctor told her in no uncertain terms that there was no hope left. She only had a month.
Annabelle Ainsworth was heartbroken. She decided not to tell her parents and to die alone in secret.
Before she died, she wanted to see the woman she had loved for so many years one last time.
Two or three months ago, during the time when Aaron Wyatt was being held captive by Leona Grant.
The woman Leona Grant met in the bar, the one staring at her adoringly, was the real Annabelle Ainsworth.
Annabelle Ainsworth died that very night.
She was a truly kind girl, much like the Annabelle Linton from a previous life—quiet and gentle. She was simply ill-fated, afflicted with an incurable disease.
Although Leona Grant rejected her that night, she still died content.
Because the woman she had loved for so many years had held her, been close to her, and even said she wanted to be with her forever—even though it was all a lie...
But she was still happy, because it was what she had always dreamed of. Also, she could tell from Leona’s tone that she had fallen in love with her cousin.
Her cousin’s dream had finally come true, and she was happy for her...
Later, after she died, Chase Lynch and his people found her body.
And so, the current Annabelle Ainsworth is just Vivian Yates in disguise. freewebnøvel.coɱ
The Annabelle Ainsworth from the previous blind date was also Vivian Yates.
This also explains why there seemed to be two different versions of Annabelle Ainsworth with different personalities.
Chase Lynch’s reason for having Vivian Yates impersonate Annabelle Ainsworth was simply to create a copy of Annabelle Linton, because Leona Grant had fallen in love with Annabelle Linton.
Romantic entanglements will eventually destroy a powerful woman.
If they wanted to control Leona Grant, they needed a puppet. Vivian Yates was that puppet.
The reason for controlling Leona Grant... She had something they wanted...
Hearing this, Vivian Yates’s pupils contracted. freёwebnovel.com
She had long known they weren’t simple people, nor were they good people. She had only agreed to work with them in a fit of pique.
But now, she was gradually starting to feel uneasy.
She was beginning to realize she had thrown herself into a pit of fire...
