An Baoying’s face was a ss of tears as she cried and held An Ge’s hand, pretending to be sincere as she said, "I’m sorry, An Ge, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t let my concern cloud my judgnt, none of this embarrassnt would have happened." She paused, "Don’t worry. We are sisters; since you’ve decided to give birth to them, I’ll definitely help you raise them."
An Ge’s mother was in the hands of An Baoying and them, so she didn’t dare to offend An Baoying too much. Thus, she quickly forced a smile and said, "Alright."
After she spoke, she looked up at Huo Shaoyan, "Young Master Huo, is there sothing you asked to co here for?"
Huo Shaoyan glanced at the jade green bracelet on her wrist, and said coldly, "Chopping off your hand wouldn’t even compensate for that bracelet. Take it off; it’s not sothing you should covet."
As soon as he said it, An Ge felt a sharp stab in her heart. Did the lives of people really an so little to those in power?
A glimr of coldness flashed through An Ge’s eyes as she quickly removed the bracelet and handed it over, saying, "I never intended to keep it." It was forced upon her by Mrs. Huo, threatening her with death; she had no choice.
Huo Shaoyan took the bracelet, his voice icy, "Flies don’t swarm around an egg without cracks. If you had kept your nose clean, you wouldn’t have been entangled with trash like Wu Zhigang. From today on, keep your legs closed. If you dare to cause a scandal and tarnish the Huo Family’s na, I’ll skin you alive."
With that, he ordered the lawyer beside him, "Take her to sign another agreent."
The lawyer stepped forward to face An Ge, "Please."
No matter how harsh Huo Shaoyan’s words were, An Ge could not confront him head-on; offending him was undoubtedly a dead-end, too. An Ge quickly left with the lawyer.
In the study, An Ge spent fifteen minutes reading the agreent. After confirming there were no issues, she signed her na.
After picking up the signed agreent, the lawyer said, "Ms. An Ge, if your blood couldn’t save Young Master Huo’s life, a woman of your lowly status would disappear from this world in minutes, even with Madam’s protection."
An Ge furrowed her brows, looking at the striking woman with golden-frad glasses resting on her nose, and asked, "So what?"
"Young Master Huo likes people who are discreet and abide by the rules. If you cause trouble and displease him, you won’t get a penny and might end up with three lives lost. Ms. An Ge, take care."
Facing the lawyer’s attitude of disdain, An Ge remained calm. She asked, "What’s your na?"
"You’re not worthy of knowing."
With that, the female lawyer dropped the sentence, took the agreent, and left.
An Ge remained calm about this. During the year she served ti in prison for An Baoying, she encountered worse ridicule, mockery, even beatings and insults. She had long beco accustod to it.
Now what could stir her emotions greatly was about her mother’s life and death and her own and her unborn child’s life and death.
As long as her mother and the child in her womb were safe, she could endure anything.
An Ge got lost in thought for a mont before An Baoying ca looking for her.
"An Ge, I really underestimated you. An unwed mother who even served ti managed to gain Mrs. Huo’s favor. You indeed have so ans."
An Ge looked up coldly at her, "It’s mutual. So, what do you want with ?"
An Baoying stepped forward, imdiately putting on a friendly face, "Sister, don’t be nervous. We are sisters, connected by blood. Now you’re a favorite around Mrs. Huo. For this reason, I dare not do anything to you. I just wanted to tell you that your mom has leukemia, and her condition isn’t good."
With these words, An Ge’s breathing instantly beca heavy, "What did you say? A year ago when I went to prison for you, my mom was just fine..."
