Annette's tone was calm. "When I was young, I couldn't figure out why my father didn't like me even though I didn't do anything wrong. As I grew up, I finally understood. The so-called fate was just an excuse for those who had lost their courage. Kyle, stop complaining. It has happened already. You should not give up on yourself, but try to stand up again. Life is long. Do you want to give up from now on?"Kyle looked at her with despair in his eyes. "What else can I do with this broken leg?""You can do whatever you want.""I want time to go back. I want you to come back to me," Kyle said as his tears streamed down.Annette sighed, "Do you think you will be happy if you marry me?"She said sincerely, "Kyle, from the night you were with Lena, our future had been destroyed. If another woman encountered the same situation as me, maybe she would forgive you, but I wouldn't. Since you know who my father is, I won't hide it from you. I hate him. My so-called family has hurt me deeply. What
On the bus, Annette's phone rang.She picked it up and said, "Mr. Crace, what can I do for you?""I asked Alpha Connor out for a meal. Please come and join us.""You two may have important things to talk about. I guess I shouldn't be there," Annette refused.Darren laughed heartily. "You have to come. Alpha Connor agreed to have a meal with me because of you. How about this? I'll send my secretary to your office to pick you up.""There's no need, Mr. Crace. I took my students out for a basketball match. Just tell me the address, and I'll go there.""Okay, I'll get someone to send you the address later."After hanging up the phone, Annette took a deep breath. She got off the bus at the station. When she was waiting for Darren's message, she called Connor."Did Mr. Crace ask you out?""Yes. I am just about to set off. Why did you agree to go out for a meal with him?"Annette asked in surprise, "Weren't you the first to agree?"Hearing Annette's question, Connor smiled. Darren was indeed
Connor knew everything. If Darren didn't learn about the previous president in advance, he wouldn't have begun to raise funds as soon as he took office.However, Connor didn't say it out loud.Annette said, "In my opinion, since you want to raise funds for Werewolf University from other enterprises or packs, the whereabouts of the money must be explained clearly and openly."Darren glanced at Annette and smiled, "I agree with you. Annette, the red wine tastes quite good. You should try it."Annette looked at Darren and said, "Mr. Crace, I can't drink.""The wine is made in the best wine-producing region. Just take a sip. If you get drunk, we will send you back," Darren said.Annette was a little confused, but she still picked up the glass and tasted the red wine.Connor recalled what Annette had done when she got drunk last time. He was amused with a small smile.Annette noticed his smile. She thought that Connor wanted to see her make a fool of herself.She was a little angry, so she
Connor didn't say anything more and helped Annette out of the private room.After the door was closed, Judica said discontentedly to Darren, "Dad, what are you doing? Didn't you say you would introduce me to Alpha Connor? Why did you call me so late?""I didn't expect Annette to be drunk.""Who is Annette?"Darren smiled, "Just now, Alpha Connor said that she was Marcus' tutor before.""You invited Alpha Connor to a meal. Why did you bring her here?""I asked around. I heard that Marcus is close to Annette at school. There are rumors that they may be a couple. So I brought Annette here to help me."Judica pursed her lips and said, "But she is not reliable. Look at how drunk she is. I think she is seducing Alpha Connor.""Don't you sense her aura? She is a rogue. Alpha Connor won't take a fancy to a rogue."Judica didn't believe him. She said, "She is so beautiful. Forget it. I won't be angry with you. Next time, you should call me earlier.""No problem. I get it," Darren said with a s
Annette was in a dream. She felt someone pick her up, wash her body, and then place her on the bed.It seemed that someone had said goodnight to her. The voice was both familiar and strange.She fell into a deep sleep.When the phone rang, Annette turned over to grope for it.However, before she could find her phone, she realized that someone was lying next to her.Her hand moved down, and she opened her eyes in shock.Then, Annette saw Connor's handsome face.She retracted her hand and sat up abruptly.It was not strange for him to sleep by her side.But this time, she was naked, which shocked her a lot!Connor opened his eyes calmly and said to her as if nothing had happened last night, "Good morning."Annette swallowed and said, "Morning."She pointed at him and asked, "Why aren't you wearing anything?""So are you."Only then did Annette feel a chill on her body. She looked down and saw that she was naked too. She covered herself with the quilt hurriedly.As she moved, she felt so
Annette had a crush on Zachary when she was a teenage girl.Her face blushed slightly as she said, "Zachary, I thought you went abroad?""I've been back for half a month. I was planning to visit you and Sharon."Speaking of her mother, Annette was dejected. She said with a bitter smile, "My mother is dead."Seeing Annette's dejected expression, Zachary reacted. "Oh."Annette explained, "She had depression and committed suicide."Zachary frowned and said with pity, "How did you get through all these years?""When my mother died, I was able to support myself. So, it's been OK."Zachary patted Annette on the shoulder. He said, "It must be hard for you. What are you doing now?"Annette said, "I am a student instructor at the university.""I remember you said that you wanted to be a teacher when you grew up. It seems that you have fulfilled your dream."Annette nodded. She asked, "By the way, why are you here? Are you here for some shopping?""I work in this mall." Zachary scratched her no
Connor sneered. "Because he was talking to you.""Do you want to investigate all the men who will talk to me in the future?""He is different from other men. You should know the reason."Annette avoided his gaze with a guilty conscience.Connor's voice became colder. "Just tell me, or I'll find out myself. To me, there is no difference."Annette's chest heaved in anger.She said, "His name is Zachary. He was my neighbor.""Just a neighbor?""Believe it or not, I am not lying." Annette continued, "At that time, his parents were busy, and he often stayed at home alone. His parents knew that my mom and I needed money, so they occasionally asked my mother to take care of Zachary when they were on business trips. They would pay my mother some money. Zachary was a good student. Sometimes, he would come to my house to eat. After eating, he would help me with my homework. He was like my brother. I liked him very much.""You liked him?"Annette rolled her eyes at Connor. "Don't use your dirty
Annette looked at Connor speechlessly.She felt that Connor was a little childish and didn't want to continue the topic with him.She stepped into the room and said to Connor, "I plan to read. Can you go out?""Shouldn't we talk about what happened last night?" Connor followed Annette into the room."My request is the same as last time. Let's just forget about it and not mention it again," Annette said."Don't mention it again? Last time, I didn't intend to pursue you, so I agreed with you. But it's different this time."Annette looked at Connor angrily and asked, "What's the difference?""You might not remember what you had done last night, but I remember it clearly. So, this time, you should be responsible for it."Annette stared at Connor for a while to confirm that he was not joking. She said, "I should be responsible?""That's right." Connor nodded. "I did it of my own accord yesterday. I didn't want to force you. But today, you met Zachary, so I changed my mind.""Since that's t
Annette snorted coldly. She immediately said, "Then have you ever thought that her confession to others was her business and had nothing to do with us? Why should we take the blame for her confession to others? This morning, when I came to school, I found that there were people on the forum who slandered me for no reason. I'm so innocent. Won't I feel wronged when I face so many people's slander? Vincent, I won't hurt any students. I didn't do this. If you insist that I did it, just like Sara said, please show me the evidence. Otherwise, go away."Vincent was claiming the moral high ground to seek justice for his student.Now that he could not get it, he was reluctant to let go of the issue.They stood on both sides of the dining table, their eyes full of anger.Annette's phone rang. She bent over and took out her phone from her bag to pick it up.Marcus' voice came from the other side of the line. "Annette, where are you?""What do you want?""Can't I call you if there's nothing?""F
The next day, after breakfast, the doctor came to check on Connor again. Annette went to work after she made sure that he was OK.However, she didn't go to work for two days and had no idea that there was big news at the university.The matter of Matilda pursuing Connor was exposed by someone.This weekend, people made fun of Matilda, the cutest girl on campus. Annette was the last person to hear about the news, but people thought she was the one who posted this issue on the forum.In the office, Annette was sitting in front of her desk. She checked the posts on the forum and had mixed feelings.There should be evidence if they were so sure that she did it.But people simply assumed that Annette was the one who did it.The comment said, "The four student instructors are all suspicious. But Annette was the most suspicious one because she used to be the cutest girl on campus. She could definitely understand how Matilda felt at that time. That was why Annette felt jealous when she saw Ma
Annette took a deep breath. For the first time, she realized how difficult it was to deliver food for Connor.She walked to the door of the office. When Hari saw her, he quickly got up and said, "Ms. Hall, you are finally here. Mr. Norman has been waiting for you. Please come in."When Annette pushed open the door and entered Connor's office, Connor's face darkened."You really enjoy chatting with Zachary. I called you more than an hour ago and you just arrived. Aren't you afraid that I will be hungry?"Annette was not angry. She said, "It has nothing to do with Zachary. After you called, I ordered food for you and came out in less than ten minutes. But when I came to the gate of the company, I met the staff of the Training Department. I was taken to the Training Department and delayed for a while. Amanda sent me up.""I think you didn't dare to come up and went to the Training Department to ask Amanda for help.""Yeah, yeah. You're so smart. Come over and eat your lunch."Connor got
Annette felt that Zachary had made the right choice this time.So she did not say anything and just listened to him complaining.In the end, he said helplessly, "I also know that she might not give up so easily. After all, she has always said that she has gone through the most difficult times with me. How can such a person easily make her efforts in vain?""Then what are you going to do if she continues to pester you?" Annette asked.Zachary looked at her and smiled, "Since I have made such a decision, I have to pay the price. The worst outcome is I can't work here anymore. Well, I don't care how long she will keep pestering me."Annette frowned and said, "But you just came back.""I gave up a good job abroad for her. Then I'll give up my job here just to stay away from her. It's nothing. I won't mind if I have to start everything from scratch."Annette did not try to persuade him. After all, Zachary was a grown man. He had already thought it through. She had no right to interfere.Th
If they had gone out alone to eat and had been discovered by Jennifer, she would have been the one who was beaten up.But why would Jennifer call her in this situation?Jennifer said, "I'm upset. I went through the hardest time with Zachary. Now that he is successful, he doesn't want me anymore. I knew that men were all like this, but I still felt hurt. I felt that the love I had given him for all these years was not worth it. Ms. Hall, I can't just let go like this.""Jennifer, did you call me because you wanted me to do something for you?""I just wanted you to ask him why he treated me like this. What exactly did I do wrong? Why did he have to care about other women? If I were that bad in his eyes, why did he choose to be with me back then?" Jennifer said, heartbroken.Annette thought for a moment and said awkwardly, "Jennifer, this is your business. Actually, I'm in no position to interfere.""Ms. Hall, you don't like me, right? So when you heard that I broke up with Zachary, do y
Matilda didn't know that Connor was not looking at her, but at Annette behind her.He turned to the bodyguards and said, "Go and stop the students who are rushing out.""Yes."The bodyguards walked back to the basketball court.Connor walked up to Matilda, his face still cold and ruthless."I was chatting with the head of the school and recommended the campus belle casually. If you like me and want to be my mate simply because of that, I will be more than happy to call him and ask him to replace you."If you want to be my mate, because you are coveting the title of the Blood Moon Pack's Luna, then you'd better stop fantasizing. Let me make it clear to you. You're not good enough to be my woman.""That's not what I meant." Matilda shook her head and was about to cry. "You got me wrong. I like you because of who you are. I swear. I admire you so much."Connor sneered, "Do you know what kind of person I am?"Matilda took a deep breath. "You are handsome, gentle, kind, well-read, and a ma
They came to the middle of the basketball court.Melissa stepped forward and took the lead in picking up the microphone. "Alright, everyone, quiet down now. As we begin today's lesson, please put your phones on silent mode."She walked over to Connor and handed him the microphone. "Alpha Connor, you may begin."Connor nodded at her, and then she walked to the side with great excitement.Standing next to Alanna, she whispered excitedly, "Alpha Connor looked at me."Alanna was unhappy. "Why did you get to be the host?""Who else? Did you want to be the host? Your voice was shaking.""Either Annette or Sara could do it."Melissa immediately said, "If you have a problem with me, just say it."Sara hurriedly said, "Enough. It's not a big deal, so just stop arguing, alright? Otherwise, Alpha Connor might hear you."Then Alanna and Melissa glanced at each other and paid attention to the lecture.Connor said, "Hello, everyone. As usual, we won't be talking about theories today, since your pro
When they were back in the office, Melissa sighed, "Darren is putting us in a dilemma, isn't he? How are we supposed to fix this? No matter what we do, we will offend someone for sure."Alanna rolled her eyes at Melissa and said, "Then why did you say that back in his office?""None of you said anything. What could I do? At least one of us should say something after he finished, right? Otherwise, he would fire us."Alanna said helplessly, "But what should we do now? I don't want to be fired."Hearing Alanna's words, Sara looked at Annette.Sara asked, "Annette, do you have any ideas?"Those in the office looked at Annette.Annette thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I've got something."Alanna moved closer to her. "Annette, tell us. What is it?"Annette said, "The multimedia classroom is small and crowded, right? But there's plenty of room on the basketball court."As soon as she finished speaking, Alanna and Melissa looked at her with disapproving looks.Melissa said, "That's impos
"Annette, you dare to bargain with me now?"Seeing that Connor was about to press down, Annette wanted to get up and run away.Connor had already grabbed her legs, holding her underneath.Annette was anxious. She said, "Connor, you are breaking your word.""We have a saying in the business field. All is fair in war. Countless facts have proved that promises made too easily are often unreliable. Remember it, OK? I'm teaching you stuff. As for tuition..."After he finished speaking, he pecked her lips. "A kiss will do."Seeing that he was going to take advantage of her again, Annette shouted anxiously, "I didn't ask you to teach me anything! You know what? Don't push too far! I'm still mad. I have accounts to settle with you.""Yeah? I'm all ears. Since when did I offend you?""Get off me first, and then we'll talk.""Nice try. I've seen similar tricks so many times that I stop taking them seriously after I reach ten. Now tell me."Annette was furious and thought, 'He is so good at humi
