Even before the voice at the other end could say anything, Anna could tell who he was—it was Jordan, the man who had both changed her entire life and caused her years of pain.
Back then, after she dropped out of school, she entered the working society early in her life. She sold cigarettes, fruits, beverages at the train station and she had also worked in restaurants.
At that time, she wanted to work in Bayside City, but her family did not allow her to do so. They wanted to marry her to another man after a few more years. In fact, after she dropped out of school, many people had already asked for her hand in marriage.
Her life had already been arranged—there would be no surprise that she would marry an average man before staying at home to take care of her family after she worked odd jobs in town for a few more years. In the end, her life would pass just like that.
She wanted to fight back, but because she was too young, she was powerless.
However, Jordan’s appearance had changed her entire life.
He had spent some money to take Anna away from the Johnson Family before he brought her to the city to learn alongside him. It was at that time that her world expanded while her abilities were being trained. He even promised her to sponsor her studies abroad if she worked hard for him.
Because Jordan saw her intelligence, he planned to train her to be a completely different person from inside out.
Unexpectedly, not long after Anna’s training began, she was tasked to spy on Sam to keep track of him.
It was Anna’s first task after all. In order to repay Jordan’s kindness and for him to approve of her performance so that he would sponsor her studies while fulfilling her dream to study abroad, she infiltrated Sam’s team and stayed by his side. She devoted all of her passion in the spying job and delivered many information to Jordan at any time he wanted.
It was a rather tough job not to expose herself.
Another girl went there with her as well. Just like Anna, she also came from a poor family. Jordan kept many girls like the both of them beside him. He took them under his wing and trained them to be his s*xual weapon to attack his enemies.
Unexpectedly, while Anna was working alongside Sam, she found another life goal—as one of the restaurant founders, her determination wavered after she saw the business that she built with him flourish. Apart from that, her pay was gradually increasing as well.
She thought that instead of blindly waiting for Jordan’s promise to let her study abroad, she would be better off working hard with Sam. In a short time, she could achieve her dreams through her hard work.
However, Anna also understood why she was there as well.
At that moment, the gentle young man who could play piano appeared. It was because of him that she decided to leave Jordan’s control.
After that, everything spiraled out of control….
In the blink of an eye, the past few decades passed just like that and she found herself reflecting on the past. Do I owe Jordan anything? No, I don’t.
Jordan breathed heavily. The first word he said did not seem to differ from the past. “Annie.”
Anna hummed in response before she continued, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up soon.”
Upon hearing her cold words, he chucked sarcastically. “Annie, for the past thirty years, I’ve treated you well enough. Why did you still betray me?”
