For a mont, Annelise thought of many words to brush him off, like gentle and considerate... handso and rich.
But Elias Warner didn’t give her a chance.
"Forget it... I’m not interested in knowing anyway!" Elias Warner got up, pressed his lips together, suppressing his breath as he left. Before he exited, he turned his back to her, pulling sothing out of his pocket.
He tossed it to Annelise. Before leaving, he said, "For tomorrow’s banquet, you are not allowed to go."
Watching Elias Warner leave and close the door.
Annelise looked at the hand warr Elias Warner had thrown over to her.
He actually still rembered that every ti her period ca, her stomach would hurt.
Was he stopping her from going to the evening banquet because he feared his fiancée would see her and misunderstand?
Suddenly, Annelise fell into deep thought again.
In the morning when she woke up.
Annelise was startled awake by the sound of a door opening, a sudden "click" as the door swung open.
Annelise was frightened.
When she looked toward the door again, she saw Renee Perry angrily marching towards the bedroom with Mama Carter in tow.
Annelise quickly got up, but didn’t have ti to react.
"Slap!"
Annelise only felt a burning pain on her face, like being bitten by sothing.
Her muscles imdiately tensed up, probably swollen.
She instinctively covered her face.
"Annelise, a slap is light punishnt for you. How dare you defy ! Go against , and you’ll have no good outco!"
Renee Perry, with her head held high, looked at Annelise as if she had the montum to kill her.
"Mrs. Warner, what do I an?!"
Annelise’s gaze suddenly turned icy, as she straightened her back to et Renee’s eyes, although the bite marks on her neck made her explanation seem so feeble.
"Do you take for blind? Last night, in the kitchen, I didn’t expose you at that ti, completely for Elias’s sake. Now look at yourself last night! So wanton, how your nightgown was so disheveled! What was it? If I hadn’t co, were you planning to get pregnant with Elias’s child? Wanting to cook the raw rice?"
Renee Perry squinted her eyes, scrutinizing Annelise, unable to believe Annelise had such nerve.
Last night, Renee indeed noticed the clues.
But she chose to maintain each other’s dignity in front of her son, questioning her privately.
Renee’s gaze was sharp, saying, "I’m telling you, you better dismiss the notion. Even if you get pregnant with Elias’s child, I’ll ensure it dies in the womb, or perhaps dies in an accident. You know my thods! I’ve warned you, dreaming of clinging to our Warner Family, rember your identity! Rember the promises you made before! Today’s banquet you attend obediently. et your future sister-in-law, don’t cause any disturbances for !"
Annelise clenched her fists, "Then you better control your son first! He said he doesn’t want to see at the banquet!"
"I’m not going to argue uselessly with you! Today at the banquet, I’ll introduce you to a new boyfriend and have you two cook the rice. That way, his girlfriend will never misunderstand your relationship with Elias, and Elias will give up on you completely. When that ti cos, you can go abroad anyti you want! Besides, early this morning, Elias has already moved in with his girlfriend!"
Renee signaled to Mama Carter to throw a set of evening gowns at Annelise for the banquet.
"Rember to change into this outfit. Don’t embarrass our Warner Family, to the outside you are at least the Warner Family’s goddaughter!"
Renee snorted coldly and left.
Leaving Annelise alone,
she was not thinking about Renee introducing her to a new boyfriend, but what Renee had said, that Elias had already moved in with his girlfriend in the early morning to avoid suspicion with her.
Should’ve been prepared for this, right?
He already has a fiancée, and she, was rely entangled with him for revenge.
This is better.
Since she had prepared to leave, she had to forget him entirely.
Before long, Annelise received a call from Sylvia Lowell.
"Annelise, are you free today? If you’re free, help pick a dress, I’m attending a banquet and bringing my boyfriend, I’ll introduce you!"
Annelise forced out an awkward smile, responded in loneliness, "That’s great, Sylvie you’re finally tying the knot? Best wishes to you, but I’m afraid I can’t make it to your place today."
"Annelise, co on, don’t you miss ?!"
"This... okay then!"
Annelise thought, Renee probably won’t refuse her going out to et a friend, it’s not like she’s going to see Elias.
She grabbed her bag to head out, just as Renee was sipping tea.
Renee glanced at her, "Where to?"
"I’m going out for a bit, to help my friend choose a dress."
"Your friend? You wouldn’t be up to anything, right?"
Renee scanned Annelise, but detected no trace of mischief on her face.
"My friend’s na is Sylvia Lowell, you know her!"
When Annelise said this, Renee took another look at Annelise, thinking to herself, it seems Annelise doesn’t know anything.
How interesting!
"Okay, go ahead. But rember you’re also attending the banquet! Co back early, don’t be late, and rember to communicate more with your friend, learn a thing or two from those socialites."
"I know, I won’t waste ti!"
Annelise left the old house and went directly to Sylvia Lowell’s place.
This was Sylvia Lowell’s new villa, which Annelise had never been to.
The place was surrounded by planted roses, with a fragrance that perated the air.
The entire villa was luxuriously decorated, from the outside looking like a castle.
Once Annelise arrived, she saw Sylvia Lowell trying on a white gown encrusted with pink diamonds.
The exquisite rmaid cut perfectly showcased Sylvia Lowell’s figure.
It flawlessly highlighted all her virtues.
With white as the base color, the diamond encrustation gave a sense of purity, not only appearing noble but also accentuating Sylvia Lowell’s smooth and delicate skin, glistening with sheen.
"The dress is beautiful, and so is the person!"
Annelise complinted.
She instantly realized that the designer of this gown was definitely soone extraordinary.
She purposely stopped by her apartnt to get the bag that Sylvia had given her when she returned to the country.
Returned it to Sylvia.
Sylvia Lowell feigned annoyance, "Annelise, why are you being so polite with ."
"Sylvie, please accept it, I don’t want to owe you too much."
"Sylvia, who is this?"
Just then, a man with slightly long curly hair approached Sylvia Lowell and Annelise.
