His Stunning Doctor Wife novel Chapter 1726

As she patted her head, Annie looked at Quin with a smirk and said, "Are you that shameless? I’ve made myself clear, yet you' re still feigning innocence. You're such a shameless b*tch."

"Miss Zhou, you..." Quin's face darkened as she did not expect Annie to curse her so viciously.

Fade did not maintain his composure. He stood up and slapped Annie across her face. In an instant, her cheek turned red and swollen.

"How dare you slap me? You..." Annie glowered at him furiously.

He said coldly, "One more cuss and I'll kill you instead of just slapping you."

"How dare you? Get rid of him!" Infuriated, she commanded the bodyguards to beat him up.

Before the bodyguards could make their move, Fade took a step forward swiftly and punched out twice, causing them to fall to the ground. Groaning with pain, they were not able to stand up.

Annie did not quite expect that her bodyguards, who had cost her a fortune to hire, would be brought down so easily. Visibly taken aback, she retreated two steps backwards and her face darkened.

Fade gave her a cold stare and warned, "Heed the warning. Otherwise, the next one to fall will be you, not your bodyguards."

Annie was too terrified to utter a single word.

At this moment, Quin took a step forward and looked at her, "Miss Zhou, I don't know what led to this misunderstanding. However, I can assure you that I’m here to send my well wishes to Old Master Zhou."

"Haha!" Annie snorted in disbelief. "Hiding under a pretense, huh? Let me make it clear. It's impossible for my brother to enter into a marriage alliance with you. If you intend to cause a mess to the marriage between the Zhou family and the Tao family, you're asking for trouble."

She sounded threatening, and her index finger was close to Quin’s face as she gave her the warning.

Fade walked a step forward and gripped Annie's index finger. He cautioned, "Come any closer and your hand will be broken."

His bloodthirsty demeanor sent chills down Annie’ s spine, causing her to shiver. As much as she was reluctant, she retreated resentfully.

"Never forget what you’ve just said." As she uttered these words, Annie got into her car and left, leaving her bodyguards there.

No longer in the mood to eat, and having lost their

appetite, Fade and Quin returned to the hotel.

"Honey, what's with the marriage alliance that Annie mentioned? What happened?" As he thought about it, he revealed the question in his heart.

After jogging her memory, she replied, "If she did not bring that up, I would've forgotten about it. I was twelve then. My dad had just returned from the Zhou family's home and told my mom about that."

"He told us that he had just gone for a drink at their home in East Stream City. He stumbled upon Old Master Zhou’s grandson and had proposed a prearranged marriage between me and him."

"As they were tipsy then, they were merely joking around and did not discuss the pre- arranged marriage in earnest. In the years that followed, there was no mention of it. After my father's death, I haven't even paid them a visit, much less taken this matter to heart."

Fade nodded after understanding what happened. He postulated, "Judging from what Annie said, Soren is going to be engaged soon. Now that he's going to tie the knot, the Zhou family assumes that you're here because they did not honor the prearranged marriage that has been proposed. Annie is worried that you'll ruin the engagement, hence coming over to warn you."
