Christopher’s feet left the ground, her face pale with fright.
Leo was about to use his strength.
Annelise spoke up, “Throw the things, not the person.”
Only then did Leo let go, his eyes still fixed on Christopher.
Christopher was scared stiff, slumping to the ground, her hands and feet ice-cold.
Mrs. Davis knew Leo was strong, but she had never seen the boy lose his temper. “Annelise, this…”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Davis.”
Annelise said calmly, “Leo knows his limits.”
And Leo indeed didn’t move again, just stood at the doorway, his eyes unsettling.
When the young woman approached, he even waved his hand in front of his nose, as if disgusted by her.
Seeing this, Anna could no longer hold back, feeling a tightness in her chest.
If it weren’t for Mr. Lee, she would never have shown up here.
“I don’t know why you’re so stubborn. We’re trying to give you a gift, and you refuse to accept it!”
Hearing this, Annelise’s lips curved slightly. “Your actions right now don’t look like giving a gift, more like forcing charity on me. I recall the Caldwells have a family creed: be a good person before you do good work. You seem to be lacking in that department.”
“You!”
Anna took a deep breath and had someone put the gift box away. “Since you have this kind of personality, then you can forget about doing business with the Caldwells in the future.”
Her tone was completely at odds with her previous image. Perhaps in the eyes of the eldest daughter of the Caldwells, these lower-class people were supposed to serve her family.

That’s why Anna couldn’t control her temper when this small place showed such disdain for her.
Annelise was unfazed. “My pleasure. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
Anna didn’t say another word and left with her bodyguards.
Christopher limped along beside her, her eyes filled with venom for Annelise.

That little brat, she would make her pay!
Mrs. Davis saw that Annelise dared to offend such important people and was a little worried for her. “Annelise, they won’t do anything bad to you, will they?”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Davis. She’s just a client I didn’t get along with.”
Annelise broke into a smile, a playful look on her face. “Didn’t you just see? I’m not short on clients online.”
It took Mrs. Davis a moment to process, then she jumped up. “I told Mr. Davis it was your grandmother’s place, but he didn’t believe me!”
Annelise!
You’ve gone viral online!”
As she spoke, she zoomed in on her phone screen. “Look!”
So many people are asking about your Silverleaf!”
Annelise just smiled faintly without saying anything.
Mrs. Davis was thrilled. “Where’s your grandmother?”
I have to tell her the news! Your grandmother’s place will finally get the recognition it deserves!”
Annelise stepped aside. “She’s in the back room brewing an herbal remedy, probably listening to the opera on her vin- tage radio again.”
Otherwise, with all that commotion just now, the old lady would have definitely come out to see.
Mrs. Davis figured as much. As she entered the house, she glanced at Leo. “That boy was really scary today.”
Leo, with a bagel in his mouth, looked up at her, appearing both fierce and dazed.
“Now, Leo, you listen to Mrs. Davis. You can’t be fighting like that when you start school.”
As Mrs. Davis spoke, she reached out to pat the boy’s head again.
Leo dodged her touch and gestured with his hands, as if to say, ‘I’m not going to school!’
Mrs. Davis didn’t understand. “What’s he saying?”
Annelise smiled gently. “He says he understands, and thank you, Mrs. Davis.”
“My dear Lenny is so good!”
