Chapter 2

Flora stared at Ann blankly for a long time.

She couldn't figure out what was wrong with her?

Inside the car.

All of a sudden, a particular sound of a call came through.

The phone rang for a long time.

Flora couldn't stand it anymore.

"Ann, someone is calling you!" Reminded by Flora.

'I'll see how she explain it to him.'.

Ann closed her eyes. She really needed to work hard to control herself before she could answer the phone in a very depressed voice, "Chris."

"Did you have a good time today?" A warm voice came from the other end of the line.

Ann sneered.

There would be an influential young man selection in a few days, so she came here to pray for Chris.

In the past, Ann put Chris first.

She had the ability to stand at the top, but she had given up everything for him!

"Ann?" His voice became warmer as he didn't get any response from her.

"Not bad." Ann said in a calm tone, "I went to pray for your business."

"Didn't you pray for a baby?" The man joked.

'I did.'.

But when she looked at the blessing words in front of her, she felt sick as if she had eaten a fly.

She didn't know until the moment of her death that the reason why she hadn't been pregnant for ten years was because of the contraceptive pills in her diet all year round.

What was ridiculous was that she had been despised and humiliated by the Elwood family for so many years.

"Are you tired?" Chris seemed to find that she was a little strange.

"I went up the mountain with Flora this morning. I am indeed a little tired. I am driving back now."

"It's my fault. I have something urgent to deal with today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you work so hard." Chris blamed himself.

Ann felt that her sneer was a waste of her facial expression.

She used to think he was really busy.

He was just busy... having fun with another woman.

"Drive safely." Chris said.

Ann hung up the phone directly.

Looking at the cold expression on Ann's face, Flora wanted to say something but stopped.

She felt that Ann had changed into another person at the moment.

She became a stranger to her.

She thought maybe she could have a sleep and return to normal tomorrow.

After they back to the downtown, Ann sent Flora to her villa first.

"Flora." Ann suddenly stopped her.

Flora turned around.

She looked at Ann, her eyes were a little... strange.

In fact, Ann was just making sure.

She was alive.

Flora was still alive.

"Are you all right today? I heard that there are always strange things happened in Mont Mountain. Are you entangled by something?" said Flora, feeling a little creepy under the gaze of Ann.

Flora was still that funny and innocent woman.

None of those things had happened to her.

Ann smiled.

This was the first genuine smile after rebirth.

She said, "Alright. You're still alive."

"It's really abnormal!" Flora was speechless. "My father said that a scourge like me would live for a thousand years, so we wouldn't die in a small car accident!"

In the past, Ann also thought that such a carefree and unrestrained woman like Flora wouldn't die easily, and the last thing she would do was to commit suicide. However, she didn't expect that Flora would jump down from the 28 floor, which was horrible.

That was the shadow and pain that Ann would never forget all her life.

She felt lucky.

She returned to what she was now. Everything was just right.

It just happened that nothing happened. She could take revenge on him!

She tried to calm herself down and changed the topic, "don't tell anyone about what happened today."

"Which one?"

"The agreement with Finn."

Rolling her eyes, Flora said, "I won't tell anyone. You'll back to normal tomorrow anyway."

Tomorrow, she would only be more determined.

"I gotta go."

"Drive carefully." Said Flora worriedly.

Ann nodded and drove home.

He drove back to the villa of ten years ago.

It was a familiar and strange place.

Her emotions surged in her heart.

When she walked into the hall and saw her parents, her eyes suddenly turned red and moist.

In her previous life, her parents wouldn't have died in a car accident if she hadn't met someone bad. In the planned car accident, she was tightly protected by her parents with their body. Only then did she narrowly escape from death.

She didn't want to recall those bloody scenes and painful experiences, and she would never experience them again!

"Ann, didn't you say that you would go to the Mont Mountain to pray for Chris? Why are you back so early?" Ann's mother, Violet Romney, greeted her gently.

Suppressing the tears in her eyes, Ann walked to them with a smile.

From now on.

Everything had changed.

She was the only one who could kill Chris and destroy the Elwood family. No one could hurt the Balton family!

"Why are your eyes red?" Violet asked worriedly as she saw Ann approaching.

"My eyes are a little dry. I rubbed them."

"The Elwood family just called and wanted to talk about the details of your wedding with us..." said Violet.

Ann took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I'm going to break the engagement."

"What?" Astonishment was shown all over Violet's face.

Sitting next to Violet, Carney Balton, Ann's father also shifted his attention from the newspaper. "Did you quarrel with Chris?"

"He is not a good man. He married me just to encroach on our family property and use our family as a stepping stone to his way to a noble family." Noticing that her parents didn't believe her, Ann continued, "I don't have any evidence to prove that what I said is true, but please give me some time. I will let you believe me!"

Seeing that his daughter was so determined, both Carney and Violet were silent.

Ann was not a child who would make them worry since childhood.

When she was a child, her grandfather had arranged a marriage for Ann. Not only did Ann not refuse, but she also kept her duty. She never dated any male friend except for Chris, and wholeheartedly believed in him.

And the relationship between them had been good since childhood. Why did she suddenly say such words?!

Noticing their confusion, Ann said, "Dad, I have never done anything that makes you feel embarrassed. I also know clearly how much benefits our marriage will bring to us. But even so, I have to stick to my decision."

"You are my daughter. Of course I believe you." Hearing what Ann had said, Carney had to agree with her. "But now if we break the engagement. Not to mention what benefits our two clans will get, it will bring a huge negative impact on our family. How can our family keep a foothold in Paris in the future?"

Anyway he was a little emotional.

"No, I won't." Ann said affirmatively, "I break the engagement, while the Elwood family should bear all the consequences!"

Carney was shocked.

He was suddenly shocked by his daughter's imposing manner.

He always felt that the daughter at this moment was a little different from the usual gentle and gentle one.

"Next month's wedding will only embarrass the Elwood family!"

Ann said firmly.
