"You’re saying you didn’t do it?" Annie Lawrence flat out didn’t believe him, "If not you, then who? Isn’t it you who wants to completely abandon me and sever all ties? Aren’t you afraid if Frank Parker found out we’re conspiring together, he’d kick you out of the Parker Group?"

"The Benington Group was acquired by Heath Group; it has nothing to do with you anymore. Now, you’re only staying afloat thanks to a decent job given to you by Frank Parker. But once you leave the Parker Group, you’ll never find a job as good as this."

"David Benington, you are afraid of returning to your poor and worthless past."

"So, to keep your current job, you’re capable of anything. Do you think I don’t know what kind of person you are? But don’t think you can totally rid yourself of me with these actions."

"If you want me to suffer, I won’t let you live comfortably either."

"You’ve really misunderstood me." David Benington insisted, speaking kindly, "Annie Lawrence, I’m not as despicable as you think. Even if I wanted to rid myself of you, it wouldn’t warrant such measures. The ones who drove you and Mrs. Rose Lawrence out were not me, but Joanna Lawrence."

"Joanna Lawrence?!" Annie Lawrence’s face changed, still in disbelief, "It’s not her house, what right does she have to do that."

"Hehe." David Benington chuckled, "Of course she has the right. The entire neighborhood belongs to the White family; she is the daughter of the White family. She had come to find you, realizing you were living on the White family’s property. Do you think she would have continued to let you live there?"

"Didn’t you and Mrs. Rose Lawrence get kicked out not long after her visit?"

Annie Lawrence’s face fell bit by bit.

That neighborhood, it actually belongs to the White family.

Joanna had threatened to call the police, but the police never turned up.

At the time, she had found it strange, thinking how Joanna could have so easily let her off.

She knew it! How could that wretched girl be so kind!

The White family is indeed very wealthy.

That neighborhood is in a wealthy area, and people who can afford to buy houses there are either rich or noble.

Even though she was renting there, the monthly rent cost more than a hundred thousand.

When she was together with David Benington, they had thought of buying their marital home there.

A neighborhood where even an ordinary house costs hundreds of millions, and the entire plot belongs to the White family. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Even though Annie Lawrence knew the White family was staggeringly wealthy, not comparable to any ordinary rich, she was still shocked after actually experiencing the White family’s wealth.

She looked at the shabby guest house she was currently living in.

At this moment, she was wildly envious of Joanna Lawrence.

She hated even more why she wasn’t Joanna Lawrence.

Even if she now has a face that looks so similar to Joanna Lawrence, their statuses are still worlds apart.

The social class Joanna Lawrence is in now, is something she’ll never reach even if she works her entire life for it.

"Do you believe me now?" David Benington waited for a moment, before speaking again, "I knew about you and Mrs. Rose Lawrence being driven out, and called you immediately. I remember you don’t have much money on you. Have you and Mrs. Rose Lawrence found a place to stay yet?"

"If you’re having any difficulties, I can help you."

Annie Lawrence was currently worrying about money. Hearing David Benington say this, even though she was tempted, she still had her doubts: "Are you really so kind-hearted? Didn’t you say we had no ties left, that I should never look for you again."
