Chapter 547


    However, Rowan would not let Annie in. Annie Khew Rowan was home, but she got no response


    after ringing the doorbell multiple times and making countless calls. No one opened the door or


    answered her phone calls.


    Rowan must’ve been disappointed by what happenedst night.


    “Rowan, I know you’re at home. You should be able to hear me. Indeed, I did not think it through. I


    saw no way out of our situation and agreed to their ns. Considering our years of friendship, I’ll be


    endlessly thankful if you can vouch for me in front of Joe. This is thest time I’m seeking you out.


    I’m sorry.”


    Annie walked away. When she looked back, she found that the door remained closed. It probably


    wouldn’t open anytime soon. She bit her lip and left.


    After she was gone, the door swung open. Rowan stood at the door. His lips twitched as he said,


    “What had she been doing then? She ignored what I told her yesterday. She’s suffering the


    consequences of her actions now!


    Anníe returned home after visiting Rowan.


    The Silvers hadn’t yielded anything from their discussion. After spending a day on it, they were


    exhausted. One by one, they left.


    When Annie got home, Grayson and Sabrina were the only ones there.


    Upon seeing her, Sabrina hurried forward and asked impatiently, “How was it? Did Stevem agree to


    help us? He will ask Skr to vouch for us, right?”


    Annie hadn’t slept a winkst night. After the mental exhaustion of the day, there wasn’t a bit of


    strength throughout her body. She said weakly, “Steven likes me. He also believes me.


    Coincidentally, Skr will be meeting him tonight. He’ll probably speak for us then.”

    “Probably? What do you mean ‘probably‘? He has to put all his might into helping us out of this


    crisis. He shouldn’t think about being with you if he can’t even do that. He doesn’t deserve you at


    all,” said Sabrina.


    Annie felt frustrated when she looked at Sabrina. She seemed to think that this was justifiable.


    Hadn’t she faced reality?


    This time, they were punching above their weight.


    Grayson’s expression was one of utter dismay. He asked, “Is Steven confident? Will Skr listen to


    him? I heard that they aren’t biological siblings. Will these circumstances make the problem more


    difficult to handle?”


    Annie said worriedly, “Dad, I can guara you that I’ve done my best. I’ve done everything I could do.


    As to the conclusion, I don’t know how things will turn out.

    “As for Skr… She might’ve prepared a few things that will make Steven waver. Perhaps he’ll


    never want to see me again. In addition, will Joe halt his revenge on us for Steven? If yesterday


    hadn’t happened, he might’ve given us some wiggle space for Skr. Now…”


    She’d done her best to fix things. Annie tried to make Steven believe that everything was a


    misunderstanding brewing from the past.


    However, she couldn’t underestimate Skr or look down on Joe. What Skr couldn’t do, Joe


    definitely could.


    Grayson’s face was devoid of color.


    Sabrina looked horrified. She asked, “If this doesn’t work, what can we do? Your grandfather has


    sunk into chaos on his part. Your uncles are nning to move out of Jipsburg. I–I’ve stayed in


    Jipsburg for a long time. I don’t want to leave just like that.”


    Annie balled her fists. She was lost. Yet, terror thrummed in her heart. She said, “It’s toote to


    leave now. It isn’t up to you whether you want to go or not. Have you seen how people who’ve tried


    to drug Joe leave Jipsburg?”


    For some reason, Annie panicked.


    She could only hope she meant enough to Steven so he would stand by her side and vouch for her


    no matter what happened. No matter what Skr said or did, he could never believe her. 1
