After glancing at Rose and Amelia, she landed her eyes on Rita. She then covered her mouth hurriedly like she had said something wrong.
She then bit her lower lips, “Miss Brown? Did I say something wrong? Why are they so shocked?”
Strings of tears even dropped when Annie was saying this.
Looking at Annie’s face, Rita twitched her mouth.
Um... what happened to this world?
How come the once brave and strong Annie was acting this way today?
Was this all an illusion?
Well, it must be.
Rita then opened and closed her eyes again unbelievably to shake off this false image.
But Annie was still knelling in tears.
Rita then had to accept the reality.
She immediately walked over and held Annie up, “It was just a small favor. You don’t have to do this.”
“It might be a small thing for you, but for me, it’s about my reputation.”
Rita then whispered to Annie awkwardly, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m helping you.”
“What?”
Rita started at Annie confusedly and didn’t know what she was talking about.
But Amelia noticed that Rita recognized that fact that she saved Annie form Ralph.
She right stood up, “Rita, is Miss Lowe saying the truth?”
“Well...”
“So you didn’t tell Mrs. Brown? Rita?”
Annie added before Rita can even say anything.
Annie’s words actually answered Amelia’s question for Rita.
She maybe was just a bit surprised before, but now, she was really in shock.
So Rita was actually the one who saved the Browns.
Amelia even more touched at this point.
She thought that Rita would never help the Browns.
Well, she really took it wrong.
Amelia then held Rita’s hands gleefully, “Rita? How come that you didn’t tell me this?”
Rita actually wasn’t used to Amelia being so gentle.
She also didn’t intend to let the Browns be aware of this.
She was just honoring her promise to her grandpa to protect the Browns.
But...
This might be the last time.
So she didn’t want to mention this.
But the whole thing just derailed from its original tract.
God knew what happened to Annie to let her pull this stunt.
Since the whole thing was out, Rita can only admit, “Grandma, I’m happy that the coast is clear now. I ought to help this family, so it’s not worth of mentioning.”
Amelia was even more moved when she heard Rita’s words.
She had to show them that she did the whole thing herself!
She was not the fool like she was before!
While Rose pulled Amelia’s away for refreshments, Rita looked down and logged on an app.
She also turned the volume of her phone up.
“Rita, you really wasted my performance.”
Annie looked at Rita anxiously while Rita was on her phone. “How come you are so lame in your house? How come you are not as fierce as you were in the hotel?”
Rita’s mouth twitched when she heard Annie’s comment. She then waved her phone, “Lame? No, NO. just sit back and relax.”
“That’s what I’m talking about!”
“Don’t stand around, Rita. Come and enjoy this tea with Miss Lowe.” Seeing that the pair was gossiping about something, Rose smiled to them.
Then she handed Amelia a cup of water, “Mom, have some of this. Charlotte bought this for you before.”
After belittling Rita, Rose tried to lift the image of Charlotte in Amelia’s heart.
Rita sneered when she noticed Rose’s behavior.
What a great move!
But at the very next second, her phone was suddenly bombarded with messages.
Amelia’s attention was naturally attracted by the noise, “What happened to your phone, Rita? Why is it buzzing constantly?”
“Well, it’s just...”
“Isn’t this the post on the internet!”
Annie suddenly screamed before Rita can say something. She then just grabbed Rita’s phone and read the messages, “Wow! Miss Brown, so you are the one who wrote the post that helped the Browns!”
While Amelia and Rise were still in bewilderment, Annie handed them the phone, “Mrs. Brown, Rita is the talent you are looking for!”
