After knowing Who She Is They Kneeled novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121

You could tell Darion was genuinely unhappy.

The reporters were stunned, and everyone else felt a little awkward.

Especially for the Davis Clan members with him. They’d always been the public face of Criford, and Naomi was al- ways the center of attention at any big public event.

Today, this Darion from Brookford hit the Davis Clan with a power play right from the start.

But what could they do? He was the second-in-command at General Electric, an investor the city itself had to suck up

So the Davis Clan had no choice but to swallow their pride.

In the traditional alleyway, Mrs. Zhang also saw this on TV and chuckled, “Looks like another big boss is in town. Otherwise, that old patriarch of the Davis family would never be smiling and scraping like that.”

Annelise hung up the phone, a little surprised. “Mrs. Zhang, you know the Davis Clan?”

“Not well. I’m good friends with your grandma.”

Mrs. Zhang grumbled, “None of them have a conscience. But Annelise, I remember you were engaged to the Davis Clan’s oldest male heir, weren’t you?”

That’s when Annelise remembered her engagement being broken off in public. “It’s over now.”

“Over?!”

Mrs. Zhang jumped up in shock. “So the Davis Clan really doesn’t keep their word!

They’re just bullying you because they see your grandma isn’t well anymore!

This won’t do. I have to get my daughter to get justice for you!”

Annelise grabbed her arm, her tone both resigned and amused. “Mrs. Zhang, I really can’t stand that ugly guy from the Davis Clan.”

Mrs. Zhang looked at her doubtfully. “You can’t stand him?

Didn’t you want to marry him back in middle school? You even said he saved you.”

“That happened?”

Annelise said calmly, “I was just a dumb teenager. I’ve already forgotten about it.”

“Did you really forget, or are you just afraid of making your grandma worry?”

Madam Whitman had just finished with a patient and was feeling happy, but when she heard her granddaughter’s en- gagement was broken, her face filled with guilt. “Is it because of me that the Davis Clan backed out?”

Annelise went to help her up. “Grandma, you’re thinking too much again. The Davis Clan just doesn’t think I’m good enough. It has nothing to do with you.”

Madam Whitman got even angrier. “What right do they have to look down on my sweet granddaughter!”

Annelise helped her sit down and gave her a reason. “Probably has to do with my family’s background?”

Madam Whitman stroked her face. “In the end, it’s still my fault. Annelise, don’t you worry. If your grandma steps in, the Davis Clan will have to listen. You and Naomi still have a chance.”

“Grandma, listen to me.”

Annelise saw her grandmother’s red eyes and knew if she didn’t give her a good reason, the old woman would blame herself forever. So she just raised an eyebrow. “I admit I was pretty down about it for a while, but I got a boyfriend, so I’m fine now.”

As expected, that got Madam Whitman ‘s full attention. “A boyfriend?!”

Mrs. Zhang exclaimed too, “It’s that really handsome friend of yours, isn’t it?!”

“Him?

That’s great!

That boy is a good one. A bit frail, but he has a steady character and he’s so handsome.”

Madam Whitman looked completely satisfied. She looked up and asked, “Annelise, is it him?”

Annelise couldn’t keep up with the two old women and hesitated. “Well…”
