Chapter 022 Ruthless Annette

Her remark made Lorraine on edge instantly.

"You really make money by fighting for others? Did you get hurt? Take off your clothes and let me have a check."

She rose immediately and was about to do what she had said.

Annette took her hands and laughed quietly, with a naughty shadow in her pretty eyes.

She said humbly, "I make some software for my customer with the computer expertise that I’ve acquired, and am able to earn a small amount."

Lorraine locked Annette with her clear eyes and was relieved when she was sure Annette didn’t lie to her.

"You've startled me."

Annette hold her shoulders and let her sit down.She told her intimate friend, "Rest assured.I don’t fight with others.I only fight back."

Lorraine couldn't say a word to that.She had witnessed how ruthless Annette could be even at the age of five.

Annette might beam at you one moment and batter you with a brick ruthlessly next.It was true that no one was able to hurt her.

And it was nice that she won't get hurt.

As for others, Annette would never be the one to kick up a fuss.

She would only use violence when the fight was provoked by others, who, thus, deserved her counterattack.

Lorraine tried to soothe herself by eating a dried strawberry and went on, "Annette, I’ve really got much better and don't need to stay here."

Glancing through the supreme environment of this nursing home, Annette didn't understand.

"Isn't it nice here? Why not stay? It won't cost much."

Lorraine said softly, "But I just want to earn a living with you.You must have spent a lot on my expenditure here these years."

"Not really ‘a lot’."

Annette said with understatement.

There was a notification sound at that moment.

She took out her phone to find it was a message from Vianne -- "Look out, Annette girl, Waynett's people are after you recently."

Lorraine curled up her lips and went on with a tenacious look, "Annette, I've learnt a lot from the teachers you hired for you.I could actually do a part-time and I bet the reward won't be disappointing."

She really didn’t want to tie Annette down anymore.She believed she had the ability to look after herself now.

Annette looked at Lorraine with her habitually cold eyes.

"You really want to work?"

Lorraine nodded earnestly.

"Yes."

Annette bit a dried mango slice and chewed carefully.

"Alright, I'll find you a school and you take the entrance examination for a good college, so that you will earn more money in the future."

The hope in Lorraine's eyes quenched.

"College costs money too."

And that would be quite an amount of money.

"No worries about the tuition.I can afford it."

Annette said instantly while replying to Vianne’s message slowly.

"Just return that money to me with your salary when you're graduated from college."

Lorraine still couldn’t make up her mind.

"Then what about you?"

"Me? I will rent a flat near your school." Annette replied.

Biting her lips, Lorraine came with up an idea.

"Annette, what about we going to high school and college together?" Annett frowned a little at this idea.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

She finished high school's contents by teaching herself at the age of six and had made great efforts to have the school send her away.

Now you want her to return to school? Getting up early and attending the endless boring classes and exams? What was more, to be governed by the school? Nuisance! Lorraine thought Annett's attitude was out of her dislike of study.

"If you fear the academic matter, I can help you with that."

Annette cast a complicated look at her.

Too complicated for Lorraine to figure out the reason behind it.

Afraid of being rejected again, Lorraine squeezed her fingers nervously, stared at the floor and said lightly, "Annette, I really have owed you too much and don't want you to sacrifice any more for me."
