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

    At noon, Annette rested in the office for a while. Someone knocked on the door and came in. "Annette, Mr. Crace asked you over.""Okay, thank you."After the person left, the three people in the office all looked at Annette.Alanna said, "Annette, what's going on?"Annette shook her head and said, "I don't know, either. I'll check it out."She walked out calmly as if nothing had happened.She was a little puzzled. Why was Darren looking for her so openly?She arrived at Darren's office, and Darren said with concern, "Annette, were you OK after you got home the night before yesterday?"Annette shook her head and smiled. "I'm fine. I just had a headache when I woke up after sleeping the whole night. Mr. Crace, what can I do for you?""I don't know if you have heard that our school is going to make a brochure."Annette nodded. "I heard people mention it at noon.""Are you interested in participating in it?"Annette asked in confusion, "What can I do? Or do I need to prepare anything?"Da

    While having dinner at home, Annette was a little worried.On the way back, she received a call from Sara.Sara heard that the school had selected Annette and Marcus as student representatives.Sara said, "Some students are dissatisfied with the result. They questioned why the school chose a student instructor as a student representative."Connor gave Annette a cup of soda, which she disliked the most. But she picked up the cup and drank it.Connor waved at her and said, "Annette."Annette came back to her senses and asked, "What did you say?""Did something happen?"Annette sighed, "Connor, do me a favor.""Go ahead," Connor said."Our school plans to release a brochure, and Darren asked me and Marcus to be the student representative. I thought that Marcus wouldn't join it, so I told Darren that if Marcus agreed, I would also agree. I didn't expect that Marcus had been convinced in advance. It was not good for me to go back on my words. Please help me think of a way out."Annette smi

    After Annette left, Alanna said to Melissa, "Your tone made Annette feel awkward just now.""What's wrong with my tone? Others are talking about it. Can't I ask about anything?" Melissa raised her eyebrows and asked."But you sounded jealous," Alanna shrugged and said."Alanna, you gossiped about Annette the most before. She gave you a scarf yesterday, and you forgot everything?""What do you mean?" Alanna was displeased.Melissa snorted. She stood up and walked out of the office. "You know what I meant."She slammed the door. Alanna cursed, "Crazy woman. You're jealous, yet you still blame someone else for it."At noon, the school announced the candidate who would take part in the shooting of the brochure.Annette was not on the list. Instead, the campus belle was chosen.The rumors about Annette disappeared all of a sudden.Then, Annette received a call from Darren."Hello, Mr. Crace.""Annette, did you see today's notice?""Are you talking about the brochure?""Yes," Darren smiled,

    In the evening, Annette came to Zachary's home and saw his parents, William and Barbara. Everyone seemed a little excited."Annette, look how pretty you are now," Barbara said while looking at her.Annette smiled shyly, "Barbara, you are still the same as I remembered.""We're getting old," Barbara said as she patted Annette's hand. "I heard from Zachary about what had happened to your mom. You were all by yourself these years, and we didn't help much.""Barbara, I'm no longer a child, and I can take good care of myself." Annette smiled in relief and continued, "Probably my mother knew that I had grown up, so she chose to leave."William and Zachary came out of the kitchen and said, "Annette, dinner is ready. Let's chat during the meal."Annette walked to the dining table and looked at the dishes on the table. She praised, "Wow! William, this is impressive.""Take a seat and try the food. See if my cooking skills have improved or not."Just as they sat down, the doorbell rang.Zachary

    "I didn't mean that." Annette looked at William and Barbara and said, "I was here to visit you, and I thought there was no need to talk about my boyfriend. He and I are not married, and we might break up in the future. I don't want you to worry about me."William said, "Annette, it's OK. If you don't want to talk about it, then just don't. When you get married, we will be happy if you invite us. Barbara, am I right?"Barbara nodded. "That's right. Let's change the topic and enjoy the meal."Jennifer was displeased and frowned. "William, Barbara, since Annette is in a relationship, and you like her so much, you should be more concerned about her. What if Annette is fooled by the guy?"Barbara looked at William and felt that Jennifer's words made sense.Annette's mother was dead, and Annette was all by herself now. She was such a pretty girl, and what if she was fooled?"Annette, is your boyfriend reliable? He is a formal employee in the Norman Group, right?" Barbara asked.Annette smil

    Jennifer was being rude and she got it. But Barbara was confused about why Zachary also acted strangely.Annette smiled, "Jennifer, you can be at ease now. I already have a boyfriend."After listening to Annette's words, Connor finally knew why she asked him to come here.It turned out that she had been questioned by Zachary's girlfriend just now.Jennifer looked at Annette and nodded.Barbara, who knew little about the situation, asked, "Connor, I heard that you are working at the Norman Group. Which department are you in? May I know your family members?"Connor smiled. "I'm in the management department. My parents have passed away. I have an elder brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister.""Then, you must be under a lot of pressure financially."Connor smiled, "It's fine. They are all quite easy to support."Barbara thought for a moment and continued, "Have you bought a house in Akron? Do you have a car? If you get married, will your siblings live with you?""I have houses a

    Annette patted his arm and said, "How about just focusing on your food."Then she smiled and said to Barbara, "Barbara, there's no hurry about getting married. I've just graduated this year, and I want to wait till I'm more settled with my job. I can also test him at the same time."Barbara shook her head and smiled.Zachary raised his glass and said to Connor, "Mr. Norman, congratulations on finding such a wonderful girlfriend."Connor also raised his glass and clinked it with Zachary. He said calmly, "Thank you. Ann told me that you work in Kamil Mall. Is that right?""Yes. I have just been transferred back to Akron from the headquarters, and I am in charge of the mall management and operation of the Akron branch."Connor nodded. "Mr. Joseph, I presume you are Prince Charming to many women. Well, in my opinion, a man with a choice shouldn't make things difficult for himself when choosing the love of his life."Connor was being subtle, yet everyone knew what he meant.Annette peeked

    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
