Chapter 147
If she wanted to ruin someone’s reputation online, she had plenty of ways!
Adrian glanced at Du Yi unhurriedly, then his gaze shifted over.
As a top-tier bodyguard, Du Yi of course knew what his young master meant and was about to follow Gloria.
But Annelise stepped sideways to block him, a slow smile spreading across her face. “Grandma said to let them go.”
Du Yi hesitated and looked up.
“Listen to her.”
Adrian’s voice was faint, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
Ruby, however, was completely shocked. Since when did Mr. Winthrop listen to anyone else?
This young lady, just who was she!
?
Annelise chewed on a fruit candy, her hair jet black. “We have to give people a chance to turn over a new leaf. I’m quite magnanimous.”
“Oh?”
Adrian raised an eyebrow, his fingertips twirling the rosary beads on his wrist, clearly not believing a word she said.
Annelise was indeed lying. She didn’t let Du Yi follow because she didn’t want her plan to be ruined.
For Gloria, making her lose everything was worse than taking her life.
“Friend, you’re doubting me.”
Annelise deliberately changed the subject, casually tossing a bag of herbal lozenges to the man, the motion both beau- tiful and cool. “Thanks for earlier. Your rosary beads are nice.”
Adrian smiled, looked at the thing in his palm, and naturally unwrapped one, placing it between his teeth.
Ruby was already numb. He had never seen Mr. Winthrop talk to anyone like this.
That young lady didn’t seem to be afraid of Mr. Winthrop at all.
My God!
Just what kind of person was she!

Annelise glanced sideways at Ruby, who was still sizing her up, and raised an eyebrow. “What’s Saying he was bringing him to see a doctor was just an excuse Mr. Winthrop had made up. Mr. Winthrop had flown back from England a day early on his private jet, and he was baffled too. But he probably understood his boss’s intentions now. Ruby lifted his head. “My back hurts.”
“Your back?”
Annelise glanced at his round belly. “Then come on in.”
The old lady was clearly in a bad mood.
Annelise walked over. “Grandma, there’s a patient to see.”
your
ailment?”
The old lady looked at her, her eyes suddenly turning a little red. She reached out and touched her face. “You poor child, you’ve been under so much pressure for my sake.”
If Annelise hadn’t said something today, she would have never known that couple couldn’t even tolerate a child!
“Grandma, it’s all in the past.”
Annelise had indeed lost control today. Her temper hadn’t flared up like this in a long time, probably because it had been raining so much in Criford lately, which annoyed her. “I won’t be like this next time.”
The old lady’s heart ached for her. “I’m not blaming you. That ungrateful girl deserved to be hit. It’s just you…”
You need to take your herbal remedy again, don’t you? The old lady didn’t say this out loud in front of everyone.
Others might not have noticed anything, but someone as sharp as Adrian quickly sensed something unusual here, his eyes flickering, making him hard to read.
A blunt neighbor also spoke up, “Annelise, is a big boss really here?”
They didn’t doubt Annelise’s character. They had watched this child grow up, and she was the best of the best, it’s just… her grades were a bit poor.
But nobody’s perfect!
“Yes, there is.”
Annelise didn’t hide it: “It’s that guy from TV. He came to Criford looking to get into the medical field, happened to catch my livestream, and we talked. He thinks Silverleaf is promising and wants to invest.”
Everyone gasped in amazement!
“Oh, him! I’ve seen him. Several news outlets were interviewing him.”
