CHAPTER 1626: CHAPTER 1626: THE VICTIM

Riley Thompson never expected that she would be outmaneuvered by Annie Anne.

Her expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.

Seeing Riley’s reaction, Annie merely lifted the corner of her mouth and said:

"So, for our mutual benefit and as an exchange, how about I delete the recording, and you give me the USB drive you have?"

To be honest, Annie Anne actually had many ways to deal with Riley Thompson.

But to Annie Anne now, whatever Riley planned to do, whatever scheme she had, she really wasn’t interested.

Some recent events had already made Annie’s mind very troubled, so she was trying her best to avoid any more trouble.

However, facing Annie’s proposal, Riley Thompson did not take any action, instead, she squeezed the USB drive in her hand tightly.

Her gaze was somewhat complex, making it impossible to see what she was thinking at that moment.

"What, are you dead set on scheming against me?" Annie Anne slightly raised her brows, her scrutinizing gaze falling on Riley’s face.

"Besides, I can’t quite figure out, what benefits does this bring you?"

After hearing Annie’s words, Riley’s eyes finally showed a hint of struggle, then she shifted her gaze as if she had decided something in her heart.

Riley took a step forward, approached Annie Anne, and handed the USB drive over.

"I want to watch you delete the recording."

Annie Anne didn’t have any objections, and just as she picked up her phone to delete the recording, Riley suddenly grabbed Annie Anne’s wrist with force.

Not expecting Riley to make such a move, Annie was startled, and she wanted to struggle, but when she looked up, she met Riley’s smiling gaze.

Her hand was like a clamp, gripping Annie Anne’s wrist so tightly that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free.

Then, Riley tilted her head, and whispered slowly in Annie’s ear:

"Annie Anne, since I want to scheme against you, then I’ve certainly made all the preparations."

Riley’s words set off alarms in Annie Anne’s mind, and the next second she saw Riley raise her hand and knock Annie’s phone away.

Then, Riley let out an exaggerated scream, using her grip on Annie’s wrist to fall straight backward.

To Annie Anne, such an accusation trick seemed full of holes, and just as Riley had said, she had made all the preparations.

As Riley fell backward, footsteps were heard approaching from outside.

When people entered the dressing room, they only saw Annie Anne seemingly push Riley, making her fall heavily to the ground.

The bottles and jars on the makeup table also fell due to Annie Anne’s actions, painfully hitting Riley, with many glass items shattering and cutting Riley, making her moan in pain.

"Oh my god! Call an ambulance!"

"What’s going on here?"

Quite a few people rushed into the room, and a chorus of chaotic voices filled the space.

Everyone gathered around Riley, and their strange looks were directed at Annie Anne.

At this moment, Riley added fuel to the fire from the side.

"I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to bring up that matter..."

Her expression was pitiful, clearly positioning herself as the victim.
