Chapter 15: It Is Over...I Am Doomed
Elizabeth's face darkened when she heard that.
Annetta was not in the mood to waste time there and said to Howard, "Let's go."
"Miss White, Miss White..." The shop assistant felt extremely desolate, as Annetta left the store without
bothering to look back.
Elizabeth and Carla glanced at each other when they saw the shop assistant walking back
despondently. Carla immediately understood what she had to do. She stepped forward and asked,
"Who called earlier? Was it really your boss?"
The shop assistant did not answer and kept muttering to herself, lost in her own thoughts.
Carla moved closer to listen carefully and heard her say, "It's over... I'm doomed.."
She had not expected this woman to really know the store's owner. Her boss had informed her that if
she did not get Annetta's forgiveness, she would not only lose her current job, but it would also be
difficult for her to find another job in Toronto.
Who was this Annetta White exactly?
Carla returned to Elizabeth and reported all she had heard. Elizabeth could not help wondering, "Does
your stepsister really know the owner of this store?"
"Impossible," said Carla. "How could an idiot like my stepsister know such a big shot? I think the boss
helped her on Young Master Ethan's behalf. I didn't expect Young Master Ethan to be so good to this
fool!"
Elizabeth felt that Carla's explanation was very reasonable. She did not say anything but was secretly
green with envy. What was so good about that idiot Annetta that she deserved such special treatment
from Ethan?
Annetta went directly to her grandfather's dinner party by car. Lorin Powell was a famous calligrapher
and painter in Canada, and his 60th birthday party was extremely grand.
The first thing Annetta heard when she arrived at the Powells was Lorin's deep laughter. Her
grandfather, whom she had not been able to see in her previous life, was really standing in front of her.
Annetta was in a trance for a moment.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, she felt lucky that she had made it this time.
In her past life, she had a falling out with her grandfather because he had not agreed to her relationship
with Caleb. She had rebelled against the person who had doted on her since childhood because of that
douche. They had argued, and she had been constantly mad at her grandfather. She had even stolen
his company's business secrets for Caleb.
As a result, her grandfather's company suffered heavy losses whilst the Taylor's company prospered.
Her grandfather had been so furious at her that he had threatened to cut ties with her. In the end, she
had not been able to see her grandfather for the last time before he passed away.
In this life, she would definitely be filial to her grandfather.
Annetta's eyes wetted.
She suppressed the guilt and bitter feeling in her heart and calmed herself down. Just as she was
about to go up to him, she heard her grandfather's voice. "Annetta? What happened to your legs?"
The old man ignored his guests and immediately rushed to her when he saw his granddaughter sitting
in a wheelchair.
Annetta’s nose was sore, and her tears threatened to spill out. She realised that her grandfather held
no grudges against her, regardless of how much she had infuriated him. He had only threatened to cut Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
ties with her out of a moment of anger.
She quickly said, "I'm fine, Grandpa. It's just a little injury in my foot. I'll be right as rain after some rest."
"My dear Annetta, are you really all right? You must tell Grandpa if you have any problems!" Lorin's
face darkened. "Anyone who dares to bully my granddaughter is going against the entire Powell
family!"
The noisy guests immediately quieted down.
Someone said, "Hunk White married his outside mistress not long after his wife, Old Master Lorin's
eldest daughter, passed away. He brought his mistress and her daughter to live with him. Now it looks
like Lorin's granddaughter has not been living very happily in the White family."
