Chapter 169
Skr’s initial impression of Annie, formed during their encounter at the club, had been somewhat
favorable. After all, beauty tended to catch the eye. However, Annie’s recent investigation into
Skr had changed her opinion.
“Your foster family isn’t exactly well off. This one million dors could really change their lives, Ms.
Sullivan. I suggest you consider the offer before it’s toote,” Annie said, visibly annoyed by
Skr’s cold response from earlier till now.
Just as Maisy had warned, Skr’s greed knew no bounds. If not for her greed, the whole Williams
family wouldn’t have disliked her either.
“A one million dor check seems a bit tight, Ms. Silver. I pocketed several millions in cash just from
some casual card games that night at the club. Is this one million check some sort of joke to you or
Mr. Martin?” Skr shot back, a faint smirk gracing her lips.
Since she was young, Skr had a habit when dealing with people she wasn’t close to. If they
treated her rudely when she was in a good mood, she would have simply brushed it off. But if she
weren’t, she would be ruthless.
It wasn’t too obvious before she got reborn back in time. But now, why should she let this woman,
Annie, get away with it?
“It was a few million dors. Did he really give you all that cash?” Annie asked, surprised. She had
heard from Rowan about Skr’s Incredible luck that night. The other three had lost terribly.
At the time, Joe had indeed promised to cover the losses, and Skr was to keep all the winnings.
Originally just a courteous gesture, but unexpectedly, Joe followed through and handed Skr the
e money.
No wonder Skr found the offer underwhelmingpared to Joe’s casual spending of several
million dors. It only fueled her greed, Annie thought.
“Mr. Martin always keeps his promises,” Skr said confidently.
Skr felt Annie was running out of excuses. She didn’t know much about Joe either. Even if it
hadn’t been her that night, Joe would have kept his promise regardless.
Annie’s face turned pale. There was obvious hostility and anger in her eyes. “Name your price.”
“Even if I were to negotiate, I should talk to Mr. Martin. How much could you possibly offer? Ms.
Silver, you’d better keep this check. If you ever want to kick someone out next time, you’ll have to
be prepared
enough.” Skr tapped the one million dor check on the table.
Angered by Skr’s provocation, Annie took a deep breath,
“This is your final chance, Skr. Miss it, and when Joe gets tired of you, I’ll ensure you won’t
survive a day in Jipsburg. I’ve dug up plenty on your foster family. Think long and hard. You’re not
alone now. You’ve got a whole family to consider.”
“So, what you’re saying is, take the money and leave, or else you’ll threaten my family’s safety?
You’re

quite powerful, Ms. Silver, People might reckon you could rule Jipsburg City alone,” Skr
sneered.
Skr had once admired Annie’s professionalism, but now she saw her in a different light. Annie
was no different from Maisy and the rest. Birds of a feather, indeed.
“It seems you’ve got it all figured out.” Annie narrowed her eyes.
Annie had many methods to deal with such a youngss. She didn’t mind teaching Skr a lesson
if she refused to take the offer. Skr would then face the consequences of offending her, Annie
Silver, in
Jipsburg.
“Mr. Martin, did you catch all of that?” Skr suddenly spoke into her phone.
Annie’s expression changed. “You! Did you call Joe?” Didn’t that mean Joe had heard it all?

“Ms. Silver, you came here with a million dors to humiliate me and threaten my family. Haven’t
you
heard of live and let live?
“Mr. Martin had heard our entire conversation, and I even recorded it. If this goes to the police, Ms.
Silver, I may not be famous, but can you handle the public scrutiny?
Skr wasn’t one to be easily intimidated. Annie had pushed her too far by threatening her family.
This mess was Joe’s doing, and he should be the one to clean it up.
