Annette returned home. When she was about to close the door, Connor showed up.She was a little angry and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that today is not the weekend, so I don't need to cook for you."Yet she was no match for him in terms of strength at all.He squeezed in easily and closed the door.Annette took a few steps back and said without much confidence, "I already said that today is not the weekend.""I am here to eat. Also, as Marcus' big brother, I'd like to know how he was doing at university today," Connor said calmly.Annette gritted her teeth and said, "He had lunch with me at noon, saying that you asked him to keep an eye on me. He saw me already. Are you expecting me to believe that he hasn't reported to you yet?""He will only report to me when there is something important. By the way, wasn't there anything interesting at school today?" Connor suddenly asked.Annette thought for a while and said, "You know what? There was one thing.""Tell me about it," Connor s
The next day, when Annette came to school, a freshman told her that a girl got sick last night.Annette immediately came to the girl's dormitory.Then she took the girl to the hospital. It was already noon when they returned to school.The girl's parents came to the school to check on her.After she dealt with this issue, Annette returned to the office hungry.Sara said, "Annette, Kyle just called and asked you to stop by his office when you get here."Annette frowned.She thought, 'What does Kyle want?'"I see. Sara, thank you."Annette had some water and then left.She came to Kyle's office and knocked on the door.Kyle's voice rang out as he said, "Come in."Annette pushed the door open and entered. "Kyle, you wanted to see me?"Kyle sized her up. Then he pointed coldly at the seat in front of his desk and said, "Sit."Annette walked over and sat down.The two looked at each other.Neither of them could have imagined that they would one day meet again under such circumstances.Kyle
"Starving?" Connor frowned as he looked at Annette. He asked, "How come? Didn't you have lunch?"Annette smiled bitterly and said, "No. Something came up."Connor asked as he drove, "What happened?""It's nothing. One of my students wasn't feeling well, so I took her to the hospital this morning. When we came back, her parents were here, so I didn't have time to eat."Connor sighed.Annette glanced at him. "I'm the one who is starving. Why are you sighing?""It pains me to know you are starving. What's wrong with that?"Annette looked at him. She felt warm inside, but she still pretended not to care and said, "That doesn't change the fact that I'm so hungry. So, just keep driving, alright?"Connor shook his head with a smile and sped up.He took her to his villa.Annette's arrival immediately turned the chiefs of the Norman family into panic.She felt quite guilty. After all, it was already late.On the contrary, Connor, who was next to her, crossed his legs and watched TV in a comfor
Kyle left the office building angrily.Annette entered the office, and her three colleagues looked at her at the same time.She smiled awkwardly and said, "Good morning.""Darling, it's late. You almost got late."Annette smiled embarrassedly. "I've been tired for the past two days. I can't get up early in the morning."Sara smiled, "You have just begun to work. You will adapt to it after a few days."In the morning, Annette organized all the students' information.At noon, Sara asked, "Annette, do you have an appointment at noon?""No, Sara. Why?""Would you like to have lunch with me?" Sara waved her phone.Annette nodded and said, "Sure."She stood up and went downstairs with Sara.Just as they reached the entrance of the office building, a middle-aged woman got out of the car.She walked to Annette with two lunch boxes in her hands and said respectfully, "Ms. Hall."Annette asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"The middle-aged woman was Connor's chef."I'm here to deliver lunch t
Annette heard Kyle's words.She smiled disdainfully and said, "Is that so? You meant that I had betrayed and deceived you? Alright, go ahead. I want to see how happy you will be after you pass the buck to me."She tried to shake off Kyle's hand but failed.Annette said coldly, "Let go. I can't wait to rush into the arms of other men."Kyle was furious.Annette sneered. "Do you think that I will make up with you? Stop dreaming. I have rejected you."Kyle let go of her. Annette went upstairs without looking back.She returned to the office to get her bag. When she went downstairs, Kyle was still standing there.Annette walked past him indifferently. Kyle said in a low voice, "How much do you charge for one night?"Annette stopped in her tracks and looked at him. "What did you say?""Since they can spend a night with you, why can't I? I'll pay three times the price."Out of anger, Annette trembled all over.Her eyes were with tears as she looked at him.Kyle looked sad. He said, "What? A
Connor looked at Marcus calmly and said, "Go home.""But...""I told you to go home."Marcus glanced at Annette and snorted. He slammed the door and left.Annette felt a little sad for being blamed by him.Jessica said innocently, "Alpha Connor, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come here."Before Connor could say anything, Annette shouted, "Enough. You should leave."Looking at Annette's attitude, Jessica pretended to be hurt. She sighed and stood up. "Annette, I know you don't want to see me, but we are family after all."Annette shouted, "Just leave!"Jessica sighed and walked toward the door.She opened the door and thought of something. "I met Mr. Goodman who I introduced to you the day before yesterday. He asked me why I hadn't picked up his call recently. He said that if he did something wrong, he could correct it. He told you not to ignore him. Annette, you are too stubborn. If you don't like him, you should refuse him directly."After that, she nodded pitifully at Connor and left.
After dinner, Connor sent Annette home.It was getting late, so he didn't go upstairs with her.He stood downstairs and watched as the lights in her house lit up. There was a figure by the window.Connor waved goodbye to Annette and got in the car.When he got home, he asked Dwayne to find Marcus.Only then did Dwayne discover that Marcus was not at home.Connor snorted. He mind linked Marcus directly."Connor?" Marcus received the mind link and was puzzled."Don't mention what happened tonight to anyone else. And don't tell Annette about the grudge between the packs. Or, you'll be in trouble.""Why are you doing that? Didn't you see it with your own eyes that...""Shut up," Connor interrupted Marcus. He said, "I'll make it clear again. Marcus, don't make things difficult for Annette. Do you hear me?""What if I don't listen to you?""I dare you."Marcus was furious. He replied, "Connor, you are a self-restrained person. You know that you made the wrong choice. Why don't you give up o
"You want him for yourself. Do you think that you can do anything just because you are pretty? Annette, if I am not worthy of Alpha Connor, and so do you.""I am indeed unworthy of him, so I have never had such a bold idea. I am different from a whimsical woman like you. I know myself. In terms of wealth and power, Connor is a hundred times stronger than you. In terms of appearance and character, it is the same. If you are satisfied with your face, you wouldn't have gone through so many plastic surgeries. You dislike yourself, yet you actually expect Connor to take a fancy to you. Stop dreaming. Don't call me with a high and mighty attitude again. You are nobody."After that, Annette hung up the phone.Jessica heard the busy tone from the other side of the line, and she was so angry that she lay on the bed and screamed."Damn Annette! This isn't over!"Annette took a deep breath. She felt it was hard to breathe.She stood up and went home. She packed her luggage and went to the statio
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
