Chapter 175
Mayra didn’t care who Emily was to Gordon in her previous life. In this life, she believed whoever was first in line would get served first. She insisted that
Gordon was hers.
When the cab arrived at the Barlow mansion, Mayra felt an overwhelming sense of oppression hit her again.
A maid was on the phone. Upon seeing Mayra walk into the foyer, the maid immediately said to the person on the other end, “Ms. Sadler is back, Mr. Anderson!”
“Put her on the phone.”
The maid said, “Ms. Sadler, Mr. Anderson wants you to take the call.”
Mayra walked over and put the phone to her ear. “Andy, are you looking for me?”
Anderson questioned, “Why did you come home so late? Where did you go?”
Mayra replied, “I went out to have fun.”
Anderson inquired, “Where did you go?”
Mayra said, “The shopping mall.”
Anderson demanded, “What did you buy? Why didn’t you use the card I gave you the last time?”
His continuous questioning about her affairs annoyed her, but she had to answer truthfully, “I went to many places to get the bangle off my wrist.”
Anderson asked, “You don’t like it?”
Mayra replied, “It’s too valuable. I don’t want it.”
She added, “If someone accuses me of stealing it, I’ll be taken to the police station again.” Her tone carried a hint of grievance.
Anderson chuckled on the other end. “It’s my fault for letting you suffer. I promise it won’t happen again, okay?”
The maid tactfully stepped away. Mayra looked down and fiddled with the hem of her shirt. “No matter what, I won’t accept it. I saw isa at the mall today, and

she didn’t look well. She called out to me, but I ignored her.”
“Mayra, don’t you understand my feelings?”
Mayra’s heart skipped a beat.
That probing question resembled a hand choking her throat. She dug her nails into her palm while holding her breath. “Andy, you’re drunk! I need to rest now.”
At that moment, her mind went blank, and her voice trembled. She even dropped the receiver on the floor.
The maid exclaimed, “Ms. Sadler, the meal is ready!”
But Mayra ran upstairs as if she was being chased by a wild beast. She contemplated the question. If it were in the past, she wouldn’t have understood it. But now, Anderson had implied that he saw her as a woman he could keep on the side. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
At this moment, she felt a chilling coldness all over her body. She was only 16 years old, yet Anderson had such filthy thoughts about her.
She believed he had gone mad, making him no different from an animal.
She wondered if the bangle was a reward for spending several days with him in Candor City or for being with him last night.
Anderson never gave her gifts for no reason. Since he had once thought of getting rid of her from the orphanage, she believed he wouldn’t develop any deep feelings for her now.
Compared to being his younger sister, Mayra felt more like a pet that he kept by his side.
Just then, she heard a knock on the door,
The maid said, “Ms. Sadler, Mr. Anderson called again just now and said he’ll be back very soon.”
Mayra yelled, “Get out! Get out of here!”
The maid heard something slam against the door, which startled her. Without daring to say another word, she awkwardly, went downstairs.
