2. Space

"Illegitimate daughter?" Mr. Stafford was taken aback by Anna's behavior and digested the words she said. He looked at Mr. Williams. "This is not what we're talking about."

"Mr. Stafford, I can explain." Mr. Williams didn't want the arrangement that the two families worked out after a long time to be destroyed because of a sentence from Anna. At this time, he hated this daughter so much for ruining his plan.

But he couldn't care about Anna because he had to persuade Mr. Stafford first.

On the other hand, Betty was biting her lower lip. This should have been the days when Anna was humiliated and destroyed instead of putting the headlines on her head. Even if the current world was more open but the title of illegitimate children was still not very good.

"Jake…" Betty turned her head only to see Jake was still staring in Anna's direction. She clenched her teeth in anger.

Ever since she was young, she knew that if Anna truly wanted to, she could easily attract other people's attention with her charm. There was no need for Anna to do anything because many people would flock to her side.

But Anna didn't care about that and focused on her own things.

Because of that, Betty could take the chance and become the center of attention in many parties and even at school.

The most important thing is that she was able to attract Jake's attention.

But with just one look from Anna, Jake was attracted to her again.

No, this can't do!

She had to hold him firmly in her hand.

"Jake, do you also look down on me?" Betty asked, her tone was coquettish as tears poured out from the corner of her eyes.

"What are you talking about? There's no way I'll look down on you." Jake quickly turned his attention to Betty. When he saw her tears, the thoughts that flashed in his mind was suppressed.

But it still took roots within his heart.

…

Tep.

Upstairs, Anna walked towards her room while wiping the blood on her mouth to her hand.

Jake is strong and the difference between man and woman caused his slap to hurt so much. At the very least, Anna knew that she had accidentally hurt her mouth not long ago.

She felt frustrated.

Looking at the things inside the room, Anna knew that soon, it wouldn't be hers anymore.

She clenched her fist, trying to ignore the pain in her heart with the physical pain. No matter what, she had to leave this place first. She didn't know how long she could keep her composure, but she refused to show any weakness.

First, Anna walked to her drawer and rummaged her belongings. There were many jewelries there that was passed down from her mother's family. She always took care of them carefully because she knew how much her mother treasured them.

Drip.

The blood on her hand touched the jewelries and in the next moment, Anna felt faint and the world around her turned around.

"Huh?"

Anna was stupefied.

She looked around her and all she could see was a flat white land below her. The ceiling and far away at the sides looked like clouds and fogs. It looked both mysterious and beautiful.

"Where am I?"

Anna looked at these things and some information floated into her mind.

It was telling her that the jewelry from her mother was actually an ancient space and only the blood from her mother's family could activate it. Because Anna is their descendants, she could activate this space.

The time here is still but she couldn't stay here for long because it would affect her mind. She could come here if she wanted to, though.

The space was also very big.

Anna looked around her and thought about her family's business.

Mr. Williams focused on malls and have several of them in this country. They were also very successful with various mall built on many places. Aside from the malls, there are also several other smaller businesses.

She looked at this space.

And a plan was formed inside her mind.

Since her father dared to scheme against her, her step sister dared to take her man, then she would not let them go.

It seemed that this space was very good for her to enact her revenge.

It seemed that all that left was for her to do it.

Anna took a deep breath and calmed down her emotions. She didn't want to show anything to her father and quietly came out of the space again.

Looking around her, it didn't seem anything changed.

She looked at the rest of the jewelries in front of them and silently put them away in the space. After that, she took the documents she kept in the save and then brought some of her clothes and bags from the closet.

The rest could be left behind because it was unnecessary.

She had an apartment on her own that her mother left her in the past. Many of her daily necessities were also there.

So there was no need for her to pack up everything.

It would also look strange if she didn't take anything, so Anna picked up a backpack and put some clothes inside to make it look bulged. It was just that if they tried to lift it up, it would feel light.

Mr. Williams and the others definitely wouldn't check it.

Anna wore a jacket because it would be uncomfortable to wear this long dress when she was outside. As for changing her clothes here?

It would take too much time.

She didn't want to stay here that long.

With that in mind, Anna made her way out again.

"Miss."

The servants looked at Anna with hesitation. The butler was also looking in her direction and sighed deeply. They were only the employees and couldn't do anything about the master's decision.

However, they wouldn't disrespect her or anything like that.

Years of serving Anna had told them that this young miss was very good. They wouldn't be human if they dared to hurt her.

Anna also nodded at them and then continued to walk.

Tep.

When Anna came down, the party was still ongoing. Mr. Williams was busy explaining to Mr. Stafford while Jake was busy coaxing the crying Betty.

Her step brother, Brian, was also in the party and watched over her closely. From his expression, it could be seen that he was happy with this situation.

Anna ignored him directly and walked out of the hall.

Her proud and cold back didn't change in the slightest bit.

It was as if the one who was kicked out was not Anna but the Williams Family. When this thought crossed the minds of the audience who were watching, they felt that it must be a joke.

Anna is just an 18-year-old girl who had turned into an adult.

Compared to the thriving Williams Family that had already taken roots, what could an 18-year-old girl do?

So they ignored this matter and instead talked with the others.

The matter of Mr. Williams having an illegitimate child was still more interested to them. They were curious about the so called proof that Anna said, but they didn't dare to ask about it.

The Williams Family were not something they could offend.

"Calm down, ok?" Jake tried his best to coax Betty and from the corner of his eyes, he saw Anna was walking away as proud as ever. His eyes flickered for a moment before he focused on Betty again.

He always felt that Anna was ordinary and didn't look as good as Betty. How come she looked more enchanting now?

He must be dreaming.
