After Being Rejected, Owned by Two Heirs

Chapter 4: The Billionaire’s Hunt

The sound of running water filled the silent bathroom. Annabelle Queen stood beneath the stream of cold water, letting every drop soak her curvy body now covered in reddish marks. Anna scrubbed her skin harshly with soap over and over again, as if trying to erase the guilt and intimate memories of the stranger from last night that still felt painfully real.

However, the disgust toward her own mistake was soon replaced by a far more burning pain—the humiliation Daniel Moren had inflicted on her earlier in the living room.

"Do you think I can suddenly love a woman whose body alone makes me lose my appetite?"

Her husband’s words spun through Anna’s mind like blades slicing through her heart. Daniel had not only ignored her for five years, but he had also trampled on her dignity as a woman in front of her own mother-in-law. Just because Claire Stralla was slim and fashionable, Daniel viewed Anna as nothing more than a humiliating lump of flesh.

Anna gripped the glass divider of the bathroom. Her tears fell together with the shower water. She stared at her reflection in the mirror fogged by steam.

“You want to see me destroyed, Daniel?” Anna whispered, her voice trembling yet filled with deep determination. “Just wait and see. I will prove to you that I can be beautiful. I will have an ideal body far more attractive than your first love. And when that day comes... I swear you will be the one kneeling and begging for my love, and I will be the first person to spit in front of you!”

At the same time, on the top floor of the Wright Holdings building, the atmosphere inside the room felt extremely oppressive. Ken Alexander Wright stood with his back facing his desk, staring at the Manhattan skyline beyond the massive glass walls.

The office door was knocked on hurriedly. His personal assistant, Ben, entered slightly out of breath while carrying a thick document folder.

“Mr. Wright, I have obtained all the information regarding the woman who was with you last night,” Ben said formally as he handed over the folder.

Ken turned quickly, snatched the folder, and immediately opened it. His sharp eyes instantly locked onto a photograph of a curvy woman with a sweet and sincere smile.

“Annabelle Queen. Twenty-five years old,” Ben began reading the summary. “According to civil records, her status is still single. However, there is something strange, Sir. She is currently living at the main residence of the Moren family—the owners of Moren Enterprises.”

Ken frowned, his eyes narrowing dangerously. “Her status is single, but she lives at the Moren residence? What connection does this woman have with that family?”

“The information there is extremely confidential, Sir. I do not know for certain. There is no clear information about why a conglomerate family like the Morens would allow an ordinary woman like Miss Queen to stay in their home. But according to surveillance reports, she is treated very well by Madam Moren.”

Ken closed the folder with a firm snap. The corner of his lips lifted into a mysterious faint smile. Anna’s single status made him feel deeply relieved, regardless of the reason she lived there.

“Fine. No need to waste time thinking about the reason. Prepare the car now. We are going to pick up my woman at the Moren residence.”

Ben’s eyes widened, and his face instantly turned pale in shock. “Huh? Mr. Wright, are you sure? What will people say if you personally go to pick her up? Forgive my boldness, Sir... but that woman is very overweight. Her body does not match your standards at all. She is... not pleasant to look at as the companion of a man like Ken Alexander Wright.”

“Watch your mouth, Ben!” Ken barked, his voice booming low enough to make Ben immediately lower his head, his body trembling.

Ken stepped forward, radiating an overwhelming aura of dominance. “I do not care about her appearance or physical looks! I do not care about the opinions of idiots out there! The only thing that matters is the fact that she is the only woman in this world capable of making my allergies and phobia disappear instantly!”

Ken took a deep breath as memories of Anna’s warm body from last night crept back into his mind.

“I swore ten years ago that if there was ever a woman who could cure this illness of mine, no matter what her identity was, no matter what her past was, and no matter what she looked like... I would make her Mrs. Wright for the rest of her life! And that woman is Annabelle Queen.”

Ben swallowed hard, realizing that his master’s decision could no longer be challenged. “Understood, Sir. The car and security team are already prepared in the main lobby.”

Back at the Moren residence.

Anna had just stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head and loose casual clothing. In the hallway, she crossed paths with Madam Moren, who was already dressed elegantly in formal socialite attire.

“Anna, dear... Mom is leaving first, alright?” Madam Moren said gently while stroking Anna’s arm. “Mom has a social gathering with the other wealthy wives at the central city hotel. Later, when Mom comes home, we will discuss it again and find the best nutrition specialist for your diet program, alright?”

Anna forced her best smile so her mother-in-law would not worry. “No need to trouble yourself, Mom. Let Anna find the doctor on her own. Mom should just focus on the social gathering. Anna will definitely find a suitable doctor.”

Madam Moren smiled in relief and kissed Anna’s forehead affectionately. “Alright, dear. Mom is leaving now.”

After her mother-in-law’s car drove away from the mansion, the Moren residence suddenly became extremely quiet. Daniel had already left for the office that morning, and the servants were busy in the back area.

Anna walked toward the living room, intending to get a glass of warm water to calm her still slightly nauseous stomach. However, just as she stepped near the main entrance, the sound of several luxurious cars stopping outside the mansion echoed through the air, followed by a firm and authoritative knock on the door.

Who would come at this hour? Daniel’s friend or Mom’s colleague? Anna wondered in confusion.

Anna stepped closer and opened the large wooden door. The moment the door opened, her eyes widened instantly. In front of her stood a line of tall men wearing formal black suits and sunglasses, guarding a black Rolls-Royce elegantly parked in the courtyard.

A middle-aged man who looked like a head butler or senior assistant stepped forward and bowed respectfully in front of the curvy Anna.

Anna took a step back with a panicked and confused expression. “You... who are you? What business do you have coming to the Moren family residence?”

The man straightened his posture and looked at Anna with a formal yet deeply respectful smile.

“Good afternoon, Miss Annabelle Queen. I was personally assigned by the owner of Wright Holdings to escort our Young Madam so that you may immediately assume the highest position as the queen of Alexander Wright’s Main Residence.”

“Huh?!” Anna froze in place, her mind suddenly going completely blank after hearing that unfamiliar yet terrifying surname.
