Chapter 1462: Chapter 1462: Why Did You Lie to Me?
At that moment, a hand suddenly grasped Annie Anne’s wrist.
Then, with a forceful twist of the fingers, Annie Anne was pulled entirely in another direction.
This action was too abrupt, catching both Campbell Prickly and Annie Anne off guard.
Originally, Campbell Prickly was holding a bracelet, and he didn’t control his strength when Annie was pulled away. Though the bracelet was successfully removed, he clearly heard Annie Anne gasp in pain.
He couldn’t help but furrow his brow, casting his gaze towards Annie Anne.
Annie Anne stumbled and nearly lost her balance, but in the next second, she was in an embrace.
The familiar scent of absinthe enveloped her, but her cheek was pressed against a cold button.
Feeling the grip on her waist tighten, Annie Anne slightly lifted her head, only to see Campbell Prickly’s sharp jaw and tightly pursed lips.
The stinging pain in her wrist drew her attention even more; she looked at the large patch of reddened skin on her wrist and tightened her fingertips.
Annie Anne then placed her hand on Oliver Hudson’s chest, intending to push him away, but Oliver Hudson did not give her the opportunity.
Oliver Hudson raised his eyes to look at Campbell Prickly before him, a dark glint flickering in his eyes.
But Campbell Prickly didn’t cast even a single glance at Oliver Hudson. He looked at the bracelet in his palm and immediately raised his head with some concern, inquiring Annie Anne.
"Were you hurt?"
"I’m fine."
Campbell Prickly’s gentle voice magically dissipated the trace of annoyance rising in Annie Anne’s heart. Annie Anne shook her head and continued speaking:
"I’m sorry for causing trouble, thank you for bringing me back today."
"No need to thank me, it was just a small effort." Campbell Prickly waved his hand, continuing to chat with Annie Anne as if no one else was around, unnoticed by Oliver Hudson whose expression grew increasingly grim.
"This gentleman must be the famous actor, Campbell Prickly."
Finally, Oliver Hudson spoke, his lips parting slightly, his deep voice slowly seeping through his teeth.
He reached out to wrap his arm around Annie Anne’s waist, as if declaring his own claim.
"Mr. Hudson, I’ve heard great things about you."
Campbell Prickly’s smile didn’t falter at all. His features were elegantly gentle, especially when he smiled, making people instinctively want to draw closer.
"It seems that Mr. Prickly is quite familiar with my girlfriend."
Oliver Hudson slightly raised his chin, his gaze lightly sweeping over, naturally noticing the jade bracelet in Campbell Prickly’s hand.
"Of course, and I am very grateful to Miss Anne for helping me out so much today."
With that, Campbell Prickly nodded towards Annie Anne.
"It’s late now, so I’ll take my leave."
"Alright, see you tomorrow." Whether intentional or inadvertent, Annie Anne even raised her hand to say goodbye to Campbell Prickly.
Even when Campbell Prickly drove away, Annie Anne’s gaze remained unwilling to shift from that direction.
It wasn’t until words sounded in her ear that Annie Anne came to her senses.
"Why did you lie to me?" Oliver Hudson stared at Annie Anne’s cheeks.
Earlier today when Oliver Hudson contacted Annie Anne, she told him she was filming, but now it seemed that was not the case.
