Chapter 105
The old lady smiled and replied, “Alright, Mr. Sterling, thank you. I understand.”
At a time like this, it’s a kindness if people help you, but it’s normal if they don’t.
The old lady was polite.
Someone from the House of Sterling advised, “How about we just don’t open? My old friend, let me give you some advice, you really can’t get this shop running. If you’re ever short on food or clothes, us old folks can still secretly help out.”
He said “secretly,” which showed just how things really were.
Eight hundred dollars was nothing to families like theirs.
It might not even be enough for Gloria to treat someone to a meal, but she just wouldn’t give it, nor would she let any- one else give it.
People usually talk about wicked mothers-in-law, but they don’t realize that some daughters-in-law are the ones who are truly monstrous.
Annelise’s eyes grew darker, and her hand on the table tapped intermittently on the surface.
It seemed careless, yet she was shrouded in darkness, with only her bright eyes hinting at the danger hidden within.
Seven’s eyes were starting to turn red. He propped himself up with his hands, about to get up. The Wilsons must have a death wish.
Annelise reached out and casually pressed him down. “Eat.”
Seven, with his tender young face, showed no expression. He looked sturdy and naive, and gestured with his hands.
Annelise put down her wooden chopsticks and wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin. “Don’t worry, we’ll get them back.”
Seven was instantly excited, waving his arms and legs.
The old lady sometimes couldn’t understand the two kids’ secret language, but this time she understood. “Our Seven is all grown up, he knows how to stand up for his grandma now.
“Mmph!”
No one gets to bully Grandma!
かん
The old lady smiled kindly. “You can stand up for me, but no fighting. Fighting will land you in jail.”

Chapter 105
“Mmm…” Seven was instantly deflated, his cars practically drooping. He still wanted to cripple that Wilson woman and kill that Whitman person. Not being able to fight was too restrictive for him..
Annelise saw what he was thinking, smiled faintly, and said meaningfully, “Grandma’s right, fighting is illegal. But for some people, making them lose everything is far more painful than any physical harm.”
Seven looked up abruptly, his eyes shining!
Annelise wouldn’t discuss these things in front of the old lady, so she just pulled up an account on her phone and changed the subject. “Grandma, take a look at this.”
When Madam Whitman glanced at the balance, she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. She put on her read- ing glasses, counted the zeros again, and her eyes widened. “160,000 dollars?!
!
Annelise, where did you get this money!”
Annelise was only showing the old lady her usual spending money, knowing that showing her more would scare her. She lowered her voice and said, “That friend of mine introduced me to a patient from a very wealthy family. This is the medical fee they paid. And yesterday at the Winthrop family’s place, I also earned a lot.”
After hearing this, the old lady found it incredible. “Can consultation fees be this high?”
