Annette thought of her mother again.She could never forget that stormy night and the bloody scene she saw when she opened the door of the bathroom...She covered her face with both hands, trying to push the pain out of her heart.Suddenly, Annette's phone rang again.She took it out and glanced at it.It was Kyle.Annette pressed her phone against her forehead, took a deep breath, and then pressed the answer button.Kyle's anxious voice came through. "Annette, I've just heard that you have been replaced. I don't know why my mother would do that. Where are you now? Can I come to you?"Annette said calmly, "Okay, take Lena and wait for me at the coffee shop. Remember, if you don't bring Lena with you, I won't talk to you."After hanging up the phone, Annette stood up. She took a shower and then put on a white shirt and a denim skirt. She put on light makeup and left home.She arrived at the door of the coffee shop and looked inside.Kyle was there already and was sitting by the window.
Annette looked up at Kyle. She walked to the bed, put down the flowers, and said to Lena, "Stop screaming. I'm not here to quarrel with you.""Get out!" Lena cried.Annette took a deep breath and said, "Kyle. I want to talk to Lena alone.""She is so hurt. What else do you want?" Kyle asked in disbelief."Do you think I will kill her?" Annette's eyes were wet. She said with a grievance, "Is that what you think of me?"Kyle was stunned for a moment. "Just try not to hurt her more. The doctor said that she needed to rest." After that, he went out.The door closed. Annette took a deep breath. She walked to the bed and looked at Lena."Why did you do that?" Annette said."I don't know what you are talking about." Lena snorted."I didn't push you." Annette continued, "Why did you do that?"Lena said fiercely through gritted teeth, "Annette, I won't let you win. Kyle is mine.""So you'll do anything to keep him, including risking your baby's life? Aren't you afraid of losing it?" Annette as
Connor picked up his knife and fork. He tried every dish and nodded with satisfaction.He admired Annette more.He even thought about moving in with her.Connor took a sip of the mushroom soup and said, "Why did you change your mind?"Annette put down the spoon and said, "Because I don't want to be trampled by anymore.""Why? When I came to you at noon, you still hadn't changed your mind," Connor continued."Lena is pregnant. But today, she used her baby to plot against me. She lost her baby." Annette stood up to get her recording pen and then played the audio clip.Connor shook his head and smiled helplessly. He asked, "If nothing happened to that woman, what would you do?"Annette scratched her forehead and said, "I planned to be with Kyle again to piss off Fiona and Lena."Connor's eyes became sharp. He asked, "You planned to make up with him?""Pretend to," Annette emphasized.Connor snorted coldly and commented, "Childish and stupid."Annette lowered her head and chuckled."What'
Annette went to Roxanne and chatted with her happily for a while.She had been in a bad mood due to all kinds of setbacks. Today, she finally smiled brightly.Annette suddenly asked Roxanne, "If you had to give a man a present, what would you buy?"Roxanne exclaimed, "What?""You heard me," Annette said."Why do you need to buy a gift for a man?" Roxanne asked.Annette felt a little regretful. How should she explain it? She regretted asking Roxanne.Roxanne held her arm and said, "Tell me the truth!""I have told you before that I have a brother. He helped me a lot, and I have to thank him.""Alright. I'm good at choosing gifts for men. Just come with me. I'll take you to a nice place. I guarantee that he will like your gift."Annette followed Roxanne to a jewelry store. Then, she returned to the Italian restaurant that Roxanne liked."Annette, I don't know when we will meet again after I return to my pack," Roxanne said sadly.Annette was also reluctant to part with her. "If you miss
Annette sneered. "Sorry, I don't need your pure heart. In the future, don't come to me again. As for me, even if I suffer for the rest of my life, I will never ask for your help."She turned around and was about to return to the restaurant.Seeing her so determined, Kyle was going crazy. He shouted, "Annette, have you ever loved me?"Annette felt that Kyle was ridiculous. Did he forget all the memories of love between them?Was the bond between them not strong enough?Annette said angrily, "No.""Annette, you will regret it. I swear that I will make you regret your decision," Kyle said.Annette bit her lips. "Yes, I already regret it. I thought that you were different from others. If the Moon Goddess asks me to choose again, I will not accept you. I will reject you directly at the very beginning."Though she didn't plan to fall out with Kyle, Annette wouldn't mind it anymore.Since the day she decided to break up with him, she had no intention of changing her mind.Since that was the
The next morning, Annette arrived at the Noman Group on time.Before she came, she had made an appointment with Connor that they should pretend not to know each other in the company.So no one knew how she was recruited.Like other new employees, Annette was busy breaking in.Her job was to introduce the new products to the staff of the business department.There were a total of four lecturers, and each of them was responsible for one product. Annette had to prepare carefully for the course in a week.At noon, she received a call from Connor.Connor asked, "Are you off work?"Annette whispered, "Not yet.""Stop your work and come upstairs now. I'm hungry," Connor said.Annette thought for a moment and said, "I'll put the lunch box at the front desk. Can you ask your secretary to get it?""Forget it. Come to me after you're done with work. I'm the only one on the top floor. Don't worry," Connor said resignedly."But our team leader just said that he would treat the four new lecturers t
Only Lance and Annette were left in the restaurant. Lance said, "How's your graduation from Werewolf University?""Mr. Fisher, don't beat around the bush. We don't need to talk about private issues," Annette said coldly. "Just cut to the chase.""What exactly happened between you and Connor?" Lance suddenly asked."It is my business." Annette was reluctant to say more."He's targeting Black Thorn Pack. Did you have anything to do with it?" Lance asked.Annette thought for a moment and said, "Maybe.""Annette, stop your childish tricks. Do you think your mother would be disappointed?" Lance said helplessly."I told you. Don't mention my mother." Annette looked at Lance and said, "She had been a fool for her entire life."Lance frowned and looked away. "Annette, things are not as simple as you thought. I have my reasons for the things I did.""I said that we shouldn't talk about private issues." Annette stood up and said, "If you have nothing else to say, I'll leave now."Lance said, "L
Roxanne covered her mouth in shock.Roxanne had heard Annette say before that her identity could not be exposed.She joked, "Are you an illegitimate daughter of some Alpha?"At that time, Annette looked sad.Although Annette didn't say anything, Roxanne felt that she was right about it."Are you Annette's brother?" Roxanne asked.Connor turned around and asked, "You know that she has a brother?"Roxanne said, "She mentioned it before."Connor did not answer Roxanne's question. He only said, "Then can I take her away now?"Roxanne nodded. "Please take good care of her."Connor turned around and looked at Annette in the car sweetly.It was a rare opportunity, and he certainly had to "take good care" of her.On the way, Annette rested her head on Connor's shoulder. She held the crystal ball tightly and almost fell asleep.When the car turned, she suddenly stood up and wanted to throw up."Stop the car."The driver immediately pulled over.Annette opened the door and ran out, throwing up.
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
