When His Perfect Mask Shattered I Awoke (Anneliese) novel Chapter 433

“Mr. Fullbuster, do you want me to help you pick out a gift for Mrs. Fullbuster?”

Jonathan looked up. “Do I need to get her a gift?”

Before Zion could reply, he figured it out himself.

Of course he needed to. Things with Anneliese had taken a real turn for the better. He definitely needed to mark the occasion.

Anneliese finished two sets of lab tests, and it was almost time for dinner.

She organized her data and then finally reached for her phone.

There were a few new messages on WhatsApp, and also two missed calls from unknown numbers.

Anneliese ignored the missed calls, opened WhatsApp, and saw Jonathan had messaged her. Just seeing his name there made her eyes light up a little.

But before she could even open his message, another call came in from an unfamiliar number.

Anneliese answered. “Hello?”

A middle–aged man’s voice came through, oddly familiar.

“Ms. Claude, I’m Mrs. Fullbuster’s butler. Mrs. Fullbuster would like to have a word with you. I hope you’re available now?”

Mrs. Fullbuster?

Anneliese paused for a second before realizing this must be Jonathan’s mother–her mother- in–law, at least in name.

Then she figured out why the voice seemed so familiar. That tone, that air of superiority, it could only be the same guy who’d cornered her in the hospital parking lot before, demanding she go with him.

Anneliese frowned slightly. “Sorry, I don’t think I can make it right now…”

She knew nothing about Jonathan’s mother, and she obviously wasn’t looking for a friendly

chat.

She really had no interest in putting herself through anything uncomfortable.

There was a short pause on the line, then a woman’s voice came on. It was pleasant enough, but with a sharp, commanding edge.

“So what? I can’t even get you to come over, is that it?”

There was no mistaking it. This had to be Jonathan’s mother, Elizabeth.

Anneliese took a deep breath, managing a smile. “Mrs. Fullbuster, I think you’ve got it wrong, I

She didn’t even get to finish before the woman cut her off, dropped an address, and hung up.

Anneliese was left holding her abruptly disconnected phone, looking a little helpless.

She packed up quickly and left the lab.

Luckily, the café Elizabeth had picked wasn’t far. Twenty minutes later, Anneliese arrived and was led to the door of a private room.

A butler in a suit and glasses stood waiting outside. When he saw the bouquet in Anneliese’s hands, he looked her over, then gave a fake smile.

“Ms. Claude, we meet again. I still haven’t forgotten that exhaust air you gave me last time.”

Beneath that polite facade, Anneliese could see right through his contempt and hostility.

She also knew his attitude was just a mirror of Elizabeth’s.

She smiled faintly. “You like the smell of car exhaust, huh? Guess you’ve got a pretty unique

taste.”

The butler clearly hadn’t expected her to talk back. The fake smile vanished from his face.

“Mrs. Fullbuster is inside. Go on in.”

He was itching to see if she’d keep her attitude once she went inside.

He stepped aside and motioned for her to enter.

But Anneliese didn’t move. She just stared at him.

“Open the door for me.”

I can’t believe this woman with no background and a failed first marriage is actually ordering me around!

The butler could barely contain his irritation, his expression turning ugly.

He stood his ground, but Anneliese wasn’t about to back down. After all, it was Elizabeth who wanted to see her, not the other way around.

Honestly, if this butler pushes his luck any further, it’d be perfect. Then I wouldn’t even have to look for an excuse. I could just leave right now.

Too bad, he wasn’t that clueless. In the end, he gave in.

He gave a cold laugh and pulled the door open for Anneliese, announcing loudly,

“Ms. Anneliese, I’ve opened the door for you. Please, don’t keep Mrs. Fullbuster waiting.”

Just a moment ago, he’d been calling her Ms. Claude. Now suddenly she was Ms. Anneliese.

Clearly, this wasn’t meant for Anneliese. He was saying it for Elizabeth to hear.

Elizabeth didn’t approve of Anneliese, so hearing the butler call her that would be especially grating.

This butler really had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Anneliese even wondered if she’d somehow crossed him before.

She just shot him a look and stepped into the room.

The space wasn’t big, but it was elegant and cozy. Elizabeth sat on the couch by the window. Today, she wore a fitted black skirt suit that was elegant and gave her a powerful, icy air.

Her long hair was loosely pinned up with an emerald–studded magnolia hairpin, and she wore matching earrings.
