Thea had just gotten into the elevator when Annette arrived at the door of it.Annette quickly rushed in.Thea wiped her tears stubbornly. She glared at Annette and asked, "What do you want now?"The elevator doors closed, and Annette pressed the button for the ground floor."I'll just say two things. First, you're targeting the wrong person. Melvin's other lover isn't me. It's Catherine. Second, I did not speak ill of you in the cafeteria today. Think about it. Of all the things you heard at noon, which one came from me?"Thea tilted her head to look at Annette. In the next second, Thea realized something and said, "You mean, that bitch is Catherine?"Annette didn't say anything.Thea was anxious. "Then why didn't you say anything before?""First of all, you never said that the reason why you targeted me was that you thought I was Mr. Horton's lover. Secondly, I will only work here for one month, so I don't want to get myself into trouble. However, just because I don't make trouble d

"I disagree."Annette frowned.A corner of his mouth lifted. "We will stay in the same room, but I won't touch you. How about that?"Annette wanted to say something.Connor said, "Come on. Let's go downstairs, and I'll take you to play golf."They came to the first floor and bumped into Alina, who happened to come inside.Facing Connor and Annette, Alina asked with a stiff smile on her face, "Have you picked your room yet? I came back to pick a room as well.""Yes, we did. You go ahead."As Connor spoke, he pulled Annette and was about to leave. Alina looked back at him and said softly, "Connor."Both Annette and Connor stopped and turned to look at her.Alina smiled and said, "Can I talk to you alone for a minute?""Now?"Alina nodded.Annette sensibly took her hand out of Connor's and said, "I'll wait for you outside."After Annette went out, Alina walked up to Connor."Connor, are you serious with Ms. Hall?" Alina asked."Do I not look serious to you?"Alina bit her lip and looked

"Ms. Hall, I don't know which pack you're from. I believe that a woman as fine as you must be an Alpha's daughter," Lucas said politely.Hearing Lucas' words, Annette clenched her fists slightly.She said, "I am a rogue."As soon as she finished speaking, a trace of surprise flashed across Lucas' face.While they were silent, Connor suddenly said, "Lucas, Ann's parents are gone, so I suggest that we drop this subject from now on."Lucas' expression returned to normal. He nodded and said, "Ms. Hall, I'm sorry. I was being rude."Annette smiled and shook her head, indicating that it was fine.Lucas raised his wrist to check the time and said, "It's getting late. Shall we get in and rest?"Connor got up, pushed Lucas' wheelchair, and said to Annette, "Get inside and tell Alina that I'm going to push Lucas back. Ask her to get ready.""OK." Annette entered the villa first.When she reached the door of Lucas' room, she knocked on the door, but no one answered.She pushed the door open and

After work, Annette arrived at the restaurant that Austin mentioned.Austin was already waiting at the entrance."Why are you so early?" Annette asked with a smile."To have dinner with you, I spared some time in advance. Let's go. I have booked a table."They entered the restaurant and then sat by the window.Austin asked, "Where have you been working recently? The day before yesterday, I went to the coffee shop you worked at. The boss said that you no longer worked there."Annette was stunned for a second. She replied, "I'm working at my friend's company. But, I can't tell you more about it.""Oh, yeah? Don't tell me you went to the bar again." Austin asked.Annette shook her head. "No. I am going to teach at the university soon. I will not go there again. I don't want to get into trouble again."Austin smiled and took out a set of keys and placed them in front of her.Annette frowned and asked, "What's this?""I bought a house for you in the residential area next to your school. So

In the evening, Annette returned home alone.She planned to order a pizza.At nine o'clock in the evening, just as Annette was about to go to bed, she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.She rubbed her stomach and still felt uncomfortable.Suddenly, she felt nauseated, so she quickly ran to the bathroom.She suffered from vomiting and diarrhea all night, and in the end, she felt tightness in her chest and dizziness.Unfortunately, she wasn't getting better.At ten o'clock, her phone rang.She turned around weakly and picked up the phone."Are you asleep?" Connor asked."Not yet," Annette replied weakly."Why do you sound so strange?""Nothing. I'm just a bit sleepy. I was about to sleep."After she finished speaking, she felt nauseated again.Not wanting him to notice anything, she simply hung up and ran into the bathroom.Then Annette lay on the bed. She felt cramps in her stomach, so she rolled over and curled herself into a ball.The pain was killing her.Suddenly, the doorbell ra
