Traitor Husband? My Reborn Bullet Found Him... Again! - Chapter 100: Chapter 100

Hendrick had his arm around Annie, and her belly was already quite big.
So their love was still as strong as ever. Somehow, still causing a pang of pain in my heart.
Just as Hendrick was about to reach for my hand, a hiking pole struck his hand, knocking it away.
I had never seen anyone dare to treat Hendrick with such disrespect.
"Mr. Morrison, Liliann is now my fiancée. Please keep your dirty hands to yourself."
Jasper wrapped his arm around my waist. Even though we both looked like a mess, like wild animals fresh from the forest. He carried this natural pride that made him stand tall in the manor, mud and all.
Annie walked up to Hendrick, her lips pursed, and said apologetically, "Babe, don't be like this. It's our fault for wronging Madam Liliann. Liliann, I didn't know he had done such terrible things to you that day. I'm sorry."
She hugged her large belly and bowed to me, but Hendrick showed no sympathy.
I couldn't help but wonder what had happened between them. Normally, with Annie pregnant, he should be more caring, and he should be pointing his finger at me, scolding me for being ungrateful, and making me kneel to apologize to her.
"Forget it, it's all in the past."
I didn't want to deal with the two of them, but as soon as I took a step, my foot slipped, and I found myself in Jasper's embrace.
"Jasper, what are you doing? Put me down!"
At this moment, he was backlit by the sun, and the distinct line of his jaw slightly glowed, mesmerizing me.
"Don't move, you stupid woman!"
Of course, I shouldn't have expected anything from him.
After carrying me back to his bedroom, servants immediately brought me dresses from the brands I used to wear in America.
"You investigated me?"
He casually undressed, and the bony frame I had seen before had now grown muscles.
"Do you think just anyone can be my fiancée? I had your information on my phone the moment you took me to the hospital."
"By the way, Liliann, you're really quite useless, losing to that kind of woman. Today, I'll teach you how to deal with scumbag guy and shameless bitch."
This person is a bit hard for me to figure out.
In the evening, the family banquet was attended by all the guests, and even Hendrick had to put on a smile to dine with the oil tycoon's family.
"Franz's Manor is truly exquisite. I'm really impressed today. Let me toast to Mr. Franz."
Hendrick downed the drink, but Jasper's father didn't even bother to lower his eyelids, instead calling out my name.
"Liliann, I apologize for the inconvenience of accompanying my rascal son on the adventure. He's always been lacking in propriety, please bear with him."
The number three Forbes billionaire, that Mr. Franz, was toasting me.
My hand trembled, almost spilling the wine glass.
"Mr. Franz, you're too kind."
"And I have another announcement to make today. I was going to wait a bit longer, but to avoid any misunderstandings, from now on, Liliann will be my son's fiancée. You all keep an eye on the Hill family's business, don't let any short-sighted fools bully them."
The crowd echoed in agreement, and the international e-commerce tycoon even cheerfully raised his glass to toast me.
"Miss Hill, please take good care of us in the future."
The wife of the financial mogul held my hand warmly.
Hendrick witnessed all of this, his wine glass almost crushed in his hand.
"Mr. Franz may have misunderstood. Liliann is MY wife, she can't be your daughter-in-law."
He stood up and confronted Jasper's father, but still didn't get so much as a glance, and the guests present all acted as if they hadn't heard his words, continuing to toast and drink.
Annie sat aside, looking dejected and lost in thought.
"EX-wife, thank you very much. Besides, I heard Mr. Morrison had a thing with some college girl, went as far as bringing her whole family into the company. But a few months later? Boom. Company crashes. Someone runs off with the money. Embezzlement and fleeing... is that true?"
Embezzlement and fleeing?
I looked questioningly at Annie, and saw her lips turn pale, her head lowering even further.
So it was because of this incident that a rift had formed in their relationship.
"Jasper! I said Liliann is my wife, so she is! Liliann, you tell him, is it him or me?"
I stared blankly at Hendrick, unable to understand the emotion behind his words.
"You've been following me since middle school. If you come back to me, I'll get rid of Annie and the baby she's carrying."
"And I'll tell you, the one surnamed Chen won't live long. Even the top medical team can't save him. If you marry him, you'll only be a widow!"
"Outrageous!"
Mr. Franz shattered his wine glass, angrily pointing at Hendrick.
"Do you know what you're saying!"
The commotion had disrupted the Franz family. Their business empire was likely doomed.
Just as I was about to respond, my hand was suddenly pulled by someone, and he stood up before me.
"Who says I won't live long? This is the latest medical report. I'm sorry, my terminal illness has been cured by my babe."
ALS can be cured?
I looked questioningly at his father, and saw the same shock in his eyes.
"What are you saying, son? What are you saying?"
"Quick! Let me see the inspection report!"
The report did indeed state the word "cured", but I was still full of doubts.
Is it... the snake venom?
But how did he know he would be bitten by a snake, and even had the butler prepare the antiserum in advance?
So this guy was trying to find a cure in the primeval forest, but if the snake venom really worked, how could the international medical team not know about it, unless there were some side effects.
I looked at Jasper, seeing him radiant, his striped suit jacket slightly open at the collar, exuding a wild, sexy aura.
"So I ask Mr. Morrison, what can you compete with me with? The pain you've given Lilian, she'll never forgive you in this lifetime."
Just as I was curious about what else he was going to say, this guy suddenly knelt on one knee, pulling out a ten-carat diamond ring to propose to me.
"I know you don't have feelings for me yet, but I promise you, marry me, and the Franz and Hill families will never be separated. My father can sign the agreement right now, giving you half the shares of our family. All other vows are just nonsense, I only know that interests are the most reliable."
At this moment, I admit I was tempted, not by Jasper himself, but by the interests he mentioned.
"Liliann! I am the one you love the most, don't agree to him!"
This was the first time I saw panic in Hendrick's eyes, but everything was too late.
I reached out my hand and nodded with a smile.
"I accept, Jasper."
In just one night, I went from a nobody to landing on the Forbes Top 10 list, while the Morrison family crumbled to pieces.
I even gave Hendrick a free return ticket to America.
From that moment on, love no longer troubled me.
I had my own grand path to follow.
