Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Make Her Pay the Price
Annie shot her a look, feeling that this woman seemed completely oblivious.
"Everyone knows by now, President Sinclair went to the Lockwood Family to seek justice for you, Jade Lockwood has been fond of him for years. Doesn’t she think you’ve stolen her man?"
Nora Northwood was stunned: "But I don’t even know President Sinclair."
She scratched her head, her big eyes full of bewilderment.
Her reaction made Annie laugh with exasperation.
She herself had once been crazily infatuated with Jasper Sinclair, but later realized she shouldn’t be so obsessed. There are plenty of men in the world, surely one would be right for her.
So when she learned that President Sinclair had a special interest in Nora Northwood, she felt both jealousy and happiness for her, but at the same time, there was a faint concern deep down.
"Just pretend you know nothing about this matter, leave it to me," Annie winked at her.
Feeling embarrassed, but with her clothes drenched and uncomfortable, she could only nod in agreement.
Upon reaching the main hall of the venue, the two parted ways.
As she walked towards the exit, Zane Lockwood, who was chatting nearby, looked at her condition, his heart skipping a beat: "Miss Northwood..."
"I accidentally got wet, I’m heading back now."
Her tone was distant, as she couldn’t bring herself to be so forgiving after all.
His daughter had treated her so, how could she act as if nothing happened?
After speaking, she turned and left immediately.
Those around observed Zane’s eagerness and felt puzzled; why is he so enthusiastic towards such a young girl?
At this moment, Zane’s heart sank seeing her like this.
Perhaps that girl didn’t listen to him at all?
But with so many people at the venue, he couldn’t directly question her. He could only bear with it for now.
Meanwhile, Annie also found Jade Lockwood holed up in the lounge.
"Why are you hiding here?" She didn’t actually have deep ties with Jade Lockwood, as she was always revolving around Jasper Sinclair when they were young, so this woman occasionally approached her.
"Why are you here?" Jade Lockwood glanced at her, her expression somewhat surprised.
Annie casually sat on the sofa, fiddling with her phone as she spoke nonchalantly: "I just witnessed your friends giving some trouble to a girl named Nora Northwood at the restroom, so I came to check if you were feeling aggrieved."
The mention of friends, she couldn’t help but secretly sneer for a moment.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Jade responded with disdain.
"Who’s friends with them, a bunch of punks at most. If it weren’t for dealing with that Northwood girl, I’d find it disgusting to let them wear my clothes."
"I’m sure they’ve never worn such fine material, it’s a favor to them."
"Back then, I befriended them only thinking they’d be of use someday, maintain good relations, and these fools would stand up for me."
In her eyes, Annie had always been simple-minded, so she never suspected Annie had other intentions.
Moreover, her impression was that The Anson Family couldn’t compare to The Lockwood Family, and Annie was always cautious, so naturally she had a sense of superiority.
She didn’t realize, at this moment Annie was holding her phone, a meaningful smile on her face.
Meanwhile, back in the restroom, staring at the phone screen, the faces of those girls changed.
Initially puzzled why the Lockwood family’s young lady would be friends with them.
Now the puzzle was solved, they were merely pawns.
A cold laugh escaped, though they didn’t voice their questions, but now, it was time for that young lady to pay a price!
If worse came to worst, they’d stir up a scene, drag everyone down with them.
At this moment, Jade Lockwood was still clueless, proudly sharing her plan with Annie.
