CEO's Revengeful Queen novel Chapter 15

Elizabeth's face darkened when she heard that.

Annetta was not in the mood to waste time there and said to Howard, "Let's go."

"Miss White, Miss White..." The shop assistant felt extremely desolate, as Annetta left the store without bothering to look back.  

Elizabeth and Carla glanced at each other when they saw the shop assistant walking back despondently. Carla immediately understood what she had to do. She stepped forward and asked, "Who called earlier? Was it really your boss?"

The shop assistant did not answer and kept muttering to herself, lost in her own thoughts. 

Carla moved closer to listen carefully and heard her say, "It's over... I'm doomed.."

She had not expected this woman to really know the store's owner. Her boss had informed her that if she did not get Annetta's forgiveness, she would not only lose her current job, but it would also be difficult for her to find another job in Toronto.

Who was this Annetta White exactly? 

Carla returned to Elizabeth and reported all she had heard. Elizabeth could not help wondering, "Does your stepsister really know the owner of this store?"

"Impossible," said Carla. "How could an idiot like my stepsister know such a big shot? I think the boss helped her on Young Master Ethan's behalf. I didn't expect Young Master Ethan to be so good to this fool!"

Elizabeth felt that Carla's explanation was very reasonable. She did not say anything but was secretly green with envy. What was so good about that idiot Annetta that she deserved such special treatment from Ethan?

Annetta went directly to her grandfather's dinner party by car. Lorin Powell was a famous calligrapher and painter in Canada, and his 60th birthday party was extremely grand.

The old man ignored his guests and immediately rushed to her when he saw his granddaughter sitting in a wheelchair. 

Annetta’s nose was sore, and her tears threatened to spill out. She realised that her grandfather held no grudges against her, regardless of how much she had infuriated him. He had only threatened to cut ties with her out of a moment of anger. 

She quickly said, "I'm fine, Grandpa. It's just a little injury in my foot. I'll be right as rain after some rest."

"My dear Annetta, are you really all right? You must tell Grandpa if you have any problems!" Lorin's face darkened. "Anyone who dares to bully my granddaughter is going against the entire Powell family!" 

The noisy guests immediately quieted down.

Someone said, "Hunk White married his outside mistress not long after his wife, Old Master Lorin's eldest daughter, passed away. He brought his mistress and her daughter to live with him. Now it looks like Lorin's granddaughter has not been living very happily in the White family."
