After knowing Who She Is They Kneeled novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99

The thug answered every question now, not daring to run. “Heroine, we were honestly just trying to scare you, we didn’t mean to do anything else. We just figured you were a young girl, and if we yelled at you a bit, you’d leave Cri- ford.”

“Yeah!

The Boss is telling the truth!

Who knew that you, heroine, wouldn’t say a word and just beat us up.”

This was seriously the most ridiculous thing they’d ever encountered in all their years on the streets!

Annelise had heard enough, her voice light. “You guys really did scare me, so you’ll have to pay a little for the emo- tional distress.”

The thugs: Who?

Scared who?

?

Aren’t we the ones who are bruised, swollen, and have broken bones right now!

Annelise smiled. “What?

Fine then, I’ll call the cops, and you’ll get a criminal record.”

Adrian reached out, grimacing in pain. “Heroine, we’re willing to pay!

Just name your price, the boys and I will pool our money. Worst case, we’ll give you all the money from the job!”

Protection was easy enough to promise; they had to take jobs to do bad things anyway.

But Annelise looked up, shattering his fantasy. “Don’t take any more jobs. Give me your account and the app you’re using now. I need to know who exactly wants me to leave Criford.”

So after all this commotion, this was your real goal!

Adrian thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth. “Heroine, you should understand the rules of the street. This job account really can’t just be given out.”

Annelise’s smile was faint. “How would I know about your shady business.”

Adrian: … You just looked like you were an expert at this!

“Let me think about it, I…”

Annelise spoke again: “Fifty thousand, to buy your job account and cover your expenses for protecting Clearwater Alley during this time.”

Adrian was stunned. “Fifty thousand, you’re giving us money?

?”

Didn’t she say we had to compensate her?

Annelise glanced at him. “I only got physical because you went after my patient. I didn’t want to fight, I just wanted to do business with you. Otherwise, did you think I didn’t notice you following me all this way?”

The young thug tried to explain: “I wasn’t trying to mess with your boyfriend, he…”

“Boyfriend?”
