Annette did not respond to Kyle.She wanted to pull her hand out of his wrist, but he held it so tightly that she could not break free."Let go.""Are you embarrassed that I saw through you? Didn't you ever think I'd find out sooner or later? My mother is the one who gave you the job."Kyle roared in pain.She looked at him, her face full of grievance and anger.He said coldly, "What is it? Why don't you say something? Annette, why did you use me?""Your mother has talked to me countless times, and the subject has always been the same. She wants me to break up with you, and I get to stay here and be a teacher by doing so."Her voice was not exactly loud, but he heard it very clearly."I have been a good student and hardworking. I believed that I was good enough to work at the university, though I knew that the woman in power did not like me and that I might be disqualified. Yet, in the face of Fiona's repeated threats, I had never thought of compromising, because I believed in myself
"You'd better not get too close to me. I am an HIV carrier," Annette said nonchalantly.When the wretched man heard Annette's words, he took a few steps back with a look of horror, and then his eyes turned shifty. He pondered for a few seconds and then looked disdainful."Give me a break. I see through you! You're lying! Even if that's true, that won't scare me away. I will sleep with you today!"To Annette's surprise, she didn't scare him off and he saw through her lie.There was a hint of panic on her face. The man saw the change in her expression, and he was even more certain that Annette was lying.Annette wanted to run away from him, but he pushed her.She almost fell.The wretched man stepped forward, pulled Annette, and said, "Bitch, you're unlucky that you met me today. You crossed the wrong person."After he finished speaking, he leaned forward and wanted to kiss Annette.She raised her hand and slapped him.He was enraged.The man raised his hand and was about to slap her ba
"Don't you think it's quiet here? It's far away from the city. Whenever I am in a bad mood, I will come and sit for a while and look at the view by the lake," Annette said. She pointed at the sky. "Look," she said.Connor looked up. The night sky was beautiful."As long as I sit here and look at the beautiful night sky, I feel that it is good to be alive and that the future will be good. Don't you think?""Not really." He raised his eyebrows.She shrugged. "You think differently from poor people like me. No wonder I'm poor."He let out a laugh, which was quite rare.She looked at him in surprise. "Alpha Connor, I didn't know you also laugh."He asked, "Is there anyone in this world who can't laugh?""But I've never seen you laugh like this before.""Do you know me well?"Annette shrugged. She found the subject a bit self-deprecating.She took a sip of coffee and looked up at the night sky. It had been a long time since she had come to enjoy such a peaceful night.The surroundings sudd
"What are these?" Kyle quickly looked through the photos.The photos were taken in a dark valley. A tightly wrapped woman wearing a hat and mask was giving money to a man.Though the photos were taken from a distance, and it was dark, Kyle could still tell it was Lena from the last few photos that had zoomed on her face."It's proof. The day before yesterday, I was working at the convenience store when a jerk tried to hurt me. Alpha Connor saved me. The man admitted that he was paid to beat me, and no one but the one who paid him knew that I had met Alpha Connor that day. But now you do. And the photos are the proof."Kyle's expression changed greatly. He reached out and pulled her. He asked with a worried face, "Are you alright?"She removed his hand. "Kyle, I didn't expect you to be such a liar after you were with Lena.""I am not with Lena. I don't like her." Kyle frowned. Then he said, "Believe me. I don't want to break up with you. I won't accept your rejection.""Kyle, I don't w
Connor frowned at Annette's words again."She is lying!" Leo's voice sounded in Connor's mind."I know." For the first time, Connor did not refute Leo's words. He wasn't happy about it, since Annette didn't trust him."She doesn't trust us," Leo said. "It's your fault, Connor."Connor did not respond to Leo. Sometimes he thought Leo talked too much, and that annoyed him.Connor believed that Kyle might be the reason Annette chose to stay at Werewolf University.Perhaps Kyle was her mate.Connor's mood grew gloomy at the thought."Alpha Connor, can I go to work now?" Connor didn't answer her. Annette turned around and was about to start her work from upstairs.Suddenly, Connor grabbed her. She was startled as if feeling an electric current on her wrist."You don't have to do cleaning today. I have a business dinner to attend later. Come with me," Connor said, without noticing Annette's expression."Can I say no?" Annette was reluctant."Then how are you going to thank me for getting ri
Connor sensed that something was wrong with Annette. He could feel her wolf getting restless. He gently pressed Annette's shoulder.He was reminding Annette that there were many werewolves at present, and she needed to control her wolf.Otherwise, other werewolves would sense that Annette was a Rogue.It would be very dangerous for Annette.Annette took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. But her gaze didn't shift.As he followed her gaze, he realized that she was looking at Lance Fisher, Black Thorn Pack's Alpha. Lance was chatting with someone in his wheelchair."Do you know him?" When Connor saw Lance, he naturally thought of Austin."No." Annette let go of Connor's arm and shook her head."OK then. Do you want to eat something?""Yes," she said, wearing an unnatural expression."Come sit with me." He brought her to a table in the corner. "Just take a seat here. What do you want to eat?""Anything."He called the waiter to get some food for her.She lowered her head and ate slowl
Annette looked at Connor and asked, "How can you be so overbearing?"Connor chuckled. He said, "I am the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack. The entire pack's future is in my hand. This is my job, and I am used to it."Annette shook her head and said, "Don't you know how the werewolves in Akron are talking about you? They said that you were cruel and they were scared of you.""I don't care what others think of me," Connor said.Annette was silent. She thought, 'He's right. What does it matter if others think of me as good or bad?'Annette agreed with him.They left the banquet together. While they were waiting for the elevator, Annette saw Austin.Annette stopped. Then she walked toward the elevator doors with Connor, as if she didn't notice Austin.She quickly pressed the elevator button to go downstairs.Austin stood by the window for a moment, and then he walked over.From Annette's peripheral view, she saw Austin walking over and felt nervous.She prayed that Austin would walk past her like
Connor grabbed her arm and looked at her, his face filled with anger."Why were you running? What happened to your foot?"Annette threw her shoes at his feet and shouted angrily, "Connor, have I offended you? Why did you do this to me? Why did you kiss me? Do you think that you can do anything as you wish, and all women are at your disposal, just because you are rich? Well, stop being arrogant, and I hate you. I hate your guts. I want you to stay as far away from me as possible."After she finished speaking, she took off his coat, threw it at him, and walked away.Connor's face darkened. He picked her up and walked to his car.Annette struggled. "What are you doing? Put me down."Connor ignored her, threw her into the car, and closed the door.He pressed her down in the back row, ignoring Leonard, who looked embarrassed in the driver's seat."Leonard, drive. Go home.""Yes, Alpha Connor."Annette gritted her teeth. "Connor Norman! Piss off!"Leonard's hands trembled as he gripped the
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
