24. Confrontation (3)

Smile?

For a moment, they were dazzled by Anna's smile.

Because she was smiling freely and completely relaxed. This made those who were seeing this scene completely confused.

Anna was clearly scolding Betty not long ago, but now she's smiling?

But hearing her words and seeing her expression, Dylan showed a faint smile on the corner of his lips. He knew that at this time Anna had completely put down Jake. The last bit of feelings that she used to have were slowly extinguished with Jake's words and action.

Without any feeling burdening her, Anna would have no qualms when facing Jake anymore, which was basically the best state she could achieve.

Her moves will also be more ruthless.

Jake took a deep breath. "I'm here to ask for help. We're thinking that the fifth floor might be flooded in the future and we could come here to stay temporarily. Since you're living alone, it should be fine to accommodate a few more people."

In fact, Jake wanted to give order, but he restrained himself. He knew very well that if he wanted to achieve his goal, he couldn't be too harsh to Anna. So no matter what he was thinking in his heart, he still put his posture lower in front of Anna.

Anna tilted her head. "Why should I help you?"

"You're my…" Jake paused when he recalled that Anna was no longer his fiancée. Years of being engaged to each other made him got used to Anna listening to his words most of the time.

Now that Anna was asking him 'why' he found out that he couldn't answer.

"That's because you're our friends." Brenda was already impatient.

"Yes." John and Andy nodded.

Betty's eyes were also raised up, looking at Anna with teary eyes as if she would cry if Anna refused her request.

Lucy looked at these people and furrowed her eyebrows. She felt that Anna was too soft and raised her hand slightly, getting ready to get into a fight. These people were all pampered young miss and young masters.

Compared to her who got into a fight countless times in a day, they would definitely be defeated without any chance to fight back.

"Friends?" Anna chuckled, yet her tone was still as cold as before. "Which eye of yours see that I ever treat you as friends?"

When she was still Jake's fiancée, she did treat John and Andy politely. After all, they were his friends and Anna wouldn't make Jake lose his face in front of his friends. But outside from that, Anna didn't communicate much with either one of them.

"Of course our eyes!"

"Do you want to deny just because…"

"First of all, I'm not friends with you. Secondly, do you think that I can still treat you as friends after severing my relationship with Jake?" Anna asked back.

"Severing your relationship?" John was startled and looked at Jake in confusion. Isn't it just breaking up? Why did it escalate until severing their relationship?

Jake was also stunned. He clearly didn't hear anything about this and never even thought about it. in his opinion, even if he broke up with Anna, it didn't mean that they would cut off their communication completely.

"What are you talking about? You're still my friend and…"

"Jake, we have no relationship with each other. Sorry, but even if it's only being friends with you, I disdain it." Anna snorted and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Now that we're clear that I'm not even friends with you, are you finally willing to go?"

Jake's expression distorted.

He was upset with what Anna's words to him. At this time, he just wanted to say that they were still friends.

But Betty beside him tugged on his arm and looked at him with tears in her eyes, making his heart frantic.

He didn't know what he should do.

"No! We want to wait here and…"

BOOM!

Lucy sprang forward and punched the man who spoke. At this time, her patience had completely reach the limit and there was no need for her to care about the consequences anymore.

Anyway, even if she fought, her family will clean up the mess.

Not to mention, it was also this damn man who provoked her.

"Damn it! I can't stay quiet anymore. Do you think that if you stay out here, we don't have a way to deal with you?" Lucy sneered. "Come over here, I'll beat you once when you come here. Coming here twice, I'll beat you twice. Come here and see if I don't dare to do it."

John was rubbing his face. He looked at Lucy with a black face, but when he thought about Lucy's background, he had to swallow the words that he was about to say.

The flood restricted them from going out, but it didn't prevent Lucy from contacting her family members.

If Lucy were to make the two families turn into hostile relationship, it would cause earthquake in the business world.

John could only eat this dumb loss.

"You…"
