Chapter 132
After Jane questioned her, Anna was stunned.
She was right.
If Jane was treated the same way, what would Anna do?
Would she beg for Jane the same way she begged for Luna and Diane, not caring if she was injured?
Or would she blame Jane for being incompetent, causing trouble for herself, and asking her to clean up the mess?
“I… Of course, I would. After all, you’re my biological daughter.”
Perhaps Jane’s eyes were too discerning.
The cold light emitted from her eyes seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts.
Anna did not even dare to look Jane in the eye.
She seemed to be lacking in confidence.
“Why can’t you look at me and say it? You’ve laid down your dignity for your best friend’s daughter and begged the person you ***the most. You didn’t back down even though you were hurt. But why? When it comes to pleading for your biological daughter, you seem unwilling and not determined at all. Anna, that’s enough. Quit this ‘good mother’ act. I feel like throwing up whenever I see you.”
Anna secretly clenched her fists.
****with Jane’s merciless accusations, Anna was powerless to refute her.
It was not only that she could not win against Jane.
But Anna was also uncertain.
If Jane were to face such a thing, would Anna step forward as she did today?
“Jane, we’ve already cut ties. I’ve done everything I can for you. My conscience is clear. It doesn’t matter whether you ***me or not. This is just a deal. If you have any requests, tell me.”
Anna’s heart was a mess.
She did not want to continue talking to Jane.
Even she knew that she should not have appeared here today.
In a moment of weakness, she had agreed to Diane. She was only embarrassing herself now. Jane’s eyes were cold as she smiled and said, “A clear conscience… Okay, Anna, if you want me to delete the video, sure. But are you sure you can fulfill my conditions?”
At first, Anna did not have any hope.
But after hearing Jane’s words, she could not help but be stunned.
Then, she said, “Tell me. As long as it’s in my power, I will do it.”
“No need to be so excited. You only have to agree to do it. You don’t have to spend much effort, time, or money. So, Anna, kneel.”
Anna could not believe what she was hearing.
“Why? Didn’t you say you would do anything in your power? Anna, you said that you were the one who brought me, the root of the trouble, into the picture. You said you would atone for everything and fulfill all my conditions. So, kneel… It’s such a simple condition. Once you bend your knees and kneel on the ground, won’t you get what you want?”
Jane said sarcastically.
She raised her chin. Her eyes were filled with disdain.
Anna came back to her senses.
Her entire body was trembling.
“Jane! Don’t push your luck.
“Who’s the one pushing her luck? Do you think I want to see your *****face? You come looking for me every day and pretend to be my mother. You look like you’re pleading, but the truth is you’re giving orders from above. How ***. Since you can’t do it, get lost. My only condition is that you take Luna’s place. Kneel, bark like a dog, and let me get it on film.”
Since Anna liked to sacrifice herself for others…
Didn’t she want to protect Luna and put on airs in front of Jane?
Jane wanted to see how far Anna would go.
Anna gritted her teeth in anger. “Jane! You never intended to let Luna off at all. You only wanted to humiliate me.”
“You’re the one who came to humiliate me. Do you think that everyone wants to lick your boots? Put away your haughty thoughts, Anna. Don’t you remember that I know Andy and Hugh Croft, and I can. get them to help me deal with your family? Do you think I lack money or power? Don’t underestimate
me.”
After saying that, Jane pushed Anna hard.
Anna staggered and was caught off guard. Fortunately, she managed to steady herself.
Jane swiped her card, closed the door, and went upstairs.
She could not be bothered to waste any more time with Anna.
Anna did not have the chance to speak, but Jane was already upstairs.
She recalled Jane’s words.
Her face turned ashen.
She was right.
Jane could make connections with Andy and Hugh.
How could she be short of money?
It was impossible to rope Jane in from this angle unless she could appease Jane.
It was just like what Jane said. She wanted Anna to kneel and bark like a dog…
No… That’s impossible.
Anna would never do such a humiliating thing.
Anna could not call Diane.
She could only send Diane a message.
“I failed, Diane. I’m sorry. About this matter… You’d better think of a way yourself.”
Anna could not tell Jane what to do.
She could not even protect herself.
The pain she felt from getting caught on the door was still coursing through her body.
At that moment…
Jack called.
Anna took a deep breath and took her phone from her bag with her unhurt hand. She pretended to be calm, “Jack? What’s wrong?”
“Oh, no. Honey, come back quickly. Something happened to Dwayne!”
Anna’s face instantly turned pale. “What… What did you say? Alright, I’ll go back immediately.”
