Flash Marriage: Pampered by Mr.Bigshot-Chapter 448 - 447: Boss, I’m in Trouble!
"PFFT—"
Owen Lewis spat out his wine. Luckily, he had turned his head just in time, or that mouthful would have doused Maxwell Peary’s face.
Maxwell Peary nonchalantly looked at Owen Lewis, whose face was red from choking.
"You just wasted hundreds of thousands of mine."
The half-glass of wine he had dropped moments ago, plus this mouthful he had just spat out, definitely exceeded hundreds of thousands in value.
Lewis was taken aback, a look of shock on his face.
"Boss, you’re being too unkind, charging me for this little bit of wine."
Maxwell Peary turned to look at him.
"When did I ever say I wouldn’t charge you? Remember to transfer it to my card."
Upon hearing this, Owen Lewis’s expression turned bitter, his face changing instantly.
"Boss—"
Lewis dragged out the mournful cry, just short of shedding actual tears.
"I’m ruined!"
Maxwell Peary took two steps back, his face etched with disgust.
"Annie Davidson took all the personal savings from my card! I’m penniless now, Boss! You have to take me in and stand up for me!"
Lewis reached out, intending to shake Maxwell Peary’s shoulders, but Maxwell cleverly sidestepped him.
"When you proposed to Annie, didn’t you say she would manage the money?"
He remembered it quite clearly. So how had it turned into her stealing his money now?
Lewis was taken aback. Alright, he had indeed said something like that. But... but things were different now; this was a special situation. It was clear Annie just wanted to take his money, not him.
"Boss, do you know where Annie is now?" Lewis asked.
Maxwell Peary shot him a look.
"No idea."
Alright, he should find his own wife himself.
"Lewis, what happened between you and Annie?"
How could they have been so lovey-dovey during the video conference earlier, only for things to turn out like this when he got back? Annie even said she wasn’t planning to register the marriage anymore and was talking about breaking up. Although she had a bit of a temper, she wasn’t someone who would act so recklessly.
"What else could it be? We were discussing children, and she said I was only marrying her to have kids."
When Maxwell Peary first heard it, it did seem like Annie was being a bit... unreasonable.
"You should quickly familiarize yourself with the duties of a Special Assistant. As for the arms dealing, I’ll keep an eye on it myself. When Alan Morgan returns, you can go back to your post."
When work was mentioned, the playful look vanished from Owen Lewis’s face, and he nodded seriously.
Nearby, in the Presidential Suite of the Royal Dynasty Hotel, renowned for its luxurious decor, Annie Davidson emerged from her shower. Dressed in a bathrobe, she was wiping water droplets from her hair.
Her laptop sat on the gilded desk.
"DING!"
Annie paused toweling her hair, walked over, and saw numerous windows open on her laptop. The most prominent was a small pop-up window indicating: Transaction Successful.
She clicked "Confirm" on each one. In the short time it took her to shower, all of Owen Lewis’s properties, land, and businesses had been transferred into her name.
"Owen Lewis, go find someone else to bear your children now that you’re penniless!"
Muttering this under her breath, Annie snapped the laptop shut.
Ignoring her damp hair, she lay down on the luxurious bed and gradually drifted off to sleep.
After leaving the CEO Office, Owen Lewis was about to head to the Secretary Department to introduce himself when he started receiving various messages.
That Annie... she’s truly ruthless. Her hacking skills are becoming more and more sophisticated; she even managed to hack into and transfer out all his assets! He finally understood why Maxwell Peary valued her computer skills so much.
