"OMG! It can't be that bitch Lena, right? Didn't she get someone to bully you last time?" Roxanne suddenly said.Annette said indifferently, "It should be fine. I will be careful. Don't worry."After hanging up the phone, Annette looked at Connor.She said, "Mr. Norman. If there is nothing else, I'm going up now.""Who were the bad girls you just mentioned?" Connor asked.Annette shook her head and replied, "I don't know. Roxanne told me that a few girls rushed into my dormitory to look for me."Connor raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems that you have offended someone."Annette did not say more. She opened the door, yet she didn't expect Connor to step into the corridor first.She felt a little strange and remained where she was.Connor turned around and asked, "Aren't you coming in?""Mr. Norman, are you going to my place?" Annette thought about it and said, "I don't intend to invite a man to my home.""I don't intend to visit your home. I just want to make sure it is safe up there
Annette started working on her thesis. She was focused and completely ignored the person behind her.After a while, she checked the time on her computer, only to find that it was half past eleven.She took off her earphones and was about to say something. But then, she noticed that Connor had already left.Annette got up and stretched herself. She saw a note on the table.She walked over and picked up the note. It read, "Sleep early. Come to my house for dinner tomorrow. We will celebrate Marcus' graduation from high school."She smiled, crumpled the note into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.The next day, just as Annette entered the school building, she was caught up by Roxanne.Roxanne tugged at her arm and whispered, "Have you heard of it?""What?" Annette looked at Roxanne in confusion."Just check the school forum once in a while, OK? That bitch is pregnant.""What? You mean Lena is pregnant?" Annette was very surprised.If two werewolves were not each other's mates, it w
"As you said, you will chat with Kyle. Now, you are sitting opposite me, but why are you only answering my questions?" Connor asked, unwilling to give up.Annette replied calmly, "Because he used to be my mate. Isn't it normal for me to talk to him?"Her words made Connor unhappy. He wanted to change her and conquer her.If he made it, the development of the Blood Moon Pack and the Black Thorn Pack would be more interesting.Marcus ran out of the room. "Alpha Connor, Lucas is back. He is almost here."Connor frowned and cast a glance at Annette. He said with a bit of displeasure, "Why didn't he tell us in advance?""Lucas was worried about my exam, so he came back directly," Marcus explained.There was a rumor about Lucas and Connor not getting along with each other.Lucas had been attacked by rogues at the border of the Blood Moon Pack, and his leg was injured. What was worse, the rogues had used poison, so Lucas's injury could not be healed.It was said that the attack was Connor's
Connor smiled disapprovingly. He looked at Annette and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, I can tell the truth at any time and don't mind others' gossip about us."Although they were at loggerheads, the way they talked to each other looked intimate.Alina walked in and ran into the scene.Annette glanced at Alina and rolled her eyes at Connor in embarrassment. She said softly, "You are hurting me."Connor kissed her on the cheek and said, "How about this?"Annette's face instantly turned red. She pouted and said, "Stop messing with me. They are watching us."Connor smiled at her lovingly. "Don't be shy. They are my family."Alina stopped in her tracks because it had been a long time since she had seen Connor smile so gently.Was Annette so special to him?Marcus pushed Lucas in, and they sat down around the dining table.Connor said, "Dwayne, go get a bottle of red wine."Dwayne fetched a bottle of red wine and served it.Dwayne was going to pour a glass of wine for Annette, then Connor r
The driver started the car and drove away from Connor's villa.Thinking of what had happened today, Annette sighed gloomily and covered her face with her hands.Connor turned to look at her and asked, "What happened? Are you feeling unwell?"After she heard his voice, Annette could no longer remain calm.She said to the driver, "Leonard, please pull over."Leonard thought that she was not feeling well and hurriedly stopped the car by the roadside.Annette got out of the car, put her hands around her mouth, and shouted forcefully at the passing cars.Connor held back his laughter and thought, 'She probably wants to beat me up.'Just now, Annette wanted to embarrass him, but she didn't expect herself to fall into a dilemma instead. Connor understood why Annette had a breakdown.He stayed in the car and watched her shouting.After that, she opened the door of the driver's seat and said to Leonard, "Leonard, let me drive."Leonard turned to look at Connor.Connor waved his hand and said,
After sending Connor off, Annette heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't want to see him again.Early the next morning, Annette cooked some macaroni for breakfast and went downstairs.She had just left the building when she saw Connor.Connor stood there, holding a bouquet in his hand with a smile.For a moment, Annette was a little fascinated by his handsome face, but soon she came back to her senses.She stopped two meters away from him and said, "Why are you here again?""To get married to you." As he spoke, Connor handed the flowers to her. "I picked these flowers for you this morning. Do you like them?"Annette took the flowers. She took a step forward to open the car door and stuffed the flowers in.After that, she returned to her previous spot and said seriously, "First of all, Mr. Norman, let me remind you that you and I..."She had only said a few words, and Connor stepped forward and kissed her lips. "I'll kiss you each time you call me Mr. Norman."Annette took a step back to
"Lena." Roxanne looked at Annette and said, "It was a done deal. There are two open positions, and your name was replaced by Lena's. Annette, you have been tricked by Kyle, Lena, and Fiona."Annette walked back to the office building.Roxanne quickly pulled her. "Ann, where are you going?""I'm going to ask Fiona.""Calm down. Fiona is targeting you on purpose." Roxanne tried to stop her.Annette pursed her lips and smiled. "Don't worry, Roxanne. I have never been this calm. It is not my style to be beaten without fighting back."Annette went to Fiona's office. She was neither heartbroken nor indignant and just looked at her calmly.Fiona took off her glasses and put them on the table. She said, "I knew you would come.""I want to know the reason why I was replaced," Annette said."Replaced? The list of candidates has not been announced before the final decision. So, technically, you weren't replaced," Fiona said mockingly.Annette was indeed naïve.She believed Fiona's words so easil
The phone in Annette's backpack rang again.Connor asked, "Did Kyle pester you again?""Did you know?" Annette did not answer Connor's question but said, "I have studied very hard. People think that I am smart and talented. In fact, I worked very hard. I just wanted to fulfill my dream one day, but now, they have destroyed it.""Them? Who are they?" Connor hugged her tightly, his heart filled with anger."Fiona. She gave the position to Kyle's new girlfriend," Annette said tiredly.Connor's eyes turned serious. He thought, 'So, it was the Luna of the Crystal Pack.'"If I were replaced because I wasn't good enough for the position, I would accept it. But I can't understand why they have to destroy my future. Is it simply because I am a rogue and a hybrid?"Annette seemed to have thought of something. Then, she took two steps back from Connor's arms and looked at him."What's wrong?" Connor asked in confusion.Annette took a deep breath and said, "I almost forgot that you are the Alpha
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
