Chapter 551


    Sabrina couldn’t help but clench her fists. She felt utterly lost.


    “A gentleman? Only ordinary people bother with that. Annie, don’t tell me you’re really into him. He’s


    not good enough for you,” Sabrina said with a tone full of disdain.


    Annie knew that she couldn’t change Sabrina’s mind no matter what she said. Hence, she muttered


    quietly, “I understand.”


    After Annie left, Sabrina sat on the couch, looking displeased. “That Steven is really taking


    advantage of Annie.”


    Grayson frowned deeply. He looked at Sabrina with the same displeased expression. “If you hadn’t


    made those impulsive calls to Mrs. Martin Senior in the beginning, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”


    He reyed the entire situation in his mind. Ultimately, it was Sabrina’s foolishness and


    thoughtlessness that caused all their problems.

    Of course, it was also partly Skr’s fault. A woman from the countryside caused so much trouble


    for the Silver family.


    “You me me? You supported me then, believing we couldn’t let anyone hinder Annie’s future.


    How was I supposed to know Skr would captivate Joe so much? How could I have predicted he


    would dote on her so much?”


    Sabrina felt embarrassed whenever she thought of it.


    Now that the Silver family was in trouble, all her former friends refused to take her calls Some even


    blocked her on WhatsApp.


    Thinking about it felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her chest. She felt a relentless


    suffocation.


    Grayson fell silent.


    Sabrina said, “Our family… If we can’t get through this crisis, will we really be finished? Will we end


    up like the Williams family?” Sabrina finally realized the gravity of the situation and was scared.


    Grayson’s face turned pale. “Our situation could be worse than the Williams family. We might not be


    able to face our family members afterward. So, let’s hope Steven can persuade Skr.”


    “If Steven manages it, do we really have to marry Annie off to him?” Sabrina asked reluctantly.


    A gleam appeared in Grayson’s eyes. He shook his head and said, “It’s too early to discuss


    marriage. Let’s first see if he can help us. If he does, we’ll support him in his career. That’s more


    than enough.”

    “You’re right. It’s too soon


    Osay anything definitive.” Sabrina nodded in agreement. She had been overthinking the situation.


    Annie drove to Steven’s apartment. As she got out of the car, she looked up at the apartment


    building.


    The lights were on in Steven’s apartment, so he should still be there. It was already 10:00 pm;


    Skr should have left by now.


    Annie had a key card Steven had given her, so she entered the apartment building and took the


    elevator.


    Steven lived on the 28th floor.


    Most of the residents in this apartment were Steven’s colleagues.


    In the elevator, someone even recognized her. They knew her as Steven’s girlfriend. She had


    visited hispany before in that capacity.


    She stopped in front of Steven’s door when she stepped out of the elevator.


    Annie felt a wave of anxiety wash over her. She took a few deep breaths.


    Then, she rang the doorbell. After a few rings, she thought she heard footsteps approaching from


    inside the apartment. It should be Stevening to the door.


    But the footsteps stopped in front of the door. Annie’s heartbeat quickened.


    She knew Steven was standing just on the other side. However, she couldn’t help but wonder why


    Steven wasn’t opening the door. Why was he hesitating?


    “Steven, are you there?” Annie asked softly.


    As soon as she spoke, the door opened.
