    Why did Annabe have to put on a facade and portray herself as such?


    She was giving Lucy a headache, but Lucy could not just tell Annabe to shut up because she had not done anything to cross the line yet. However, Lucy could not stand listening to Annabe rattle on any longer.


    She wondered why Annabe wanted to drag her into the garden all of a sudden.


    If Annabe were genuinely interested in Theodore''s past, Lucy would be more than happy to share. For some reason, however, she did not think Annabe was worth her sincerity.


    Finally, after Annabe was done embellishing her life story, she pulled Lucy back to the pce.


    On the way back, Annabe asked an extremely serious yet absurd question, "I heard that Prince Theodore is especially nice to you. Is that true?"

    Although Annabe sounded tactful, her words did not sit right with Lucy.


    Annabe had just set foot in here, and she barely knew her way around the pce, yet she was already assuming a position higher than Lucy.


    Lucy resisted the urge to roll her eyes. This person was even more shameless than Charlotte.

    Lucy tried to phrase her words delicately while still conveying her message, "I think... we should observe the situation for now.

    Lucy had always been suspicious of Annabe, but she dismissed those thoughts every time, thinking she was overthinking.


    Now, thanks to Lucy''s keen eye, it seemed like Annabe was indeed the type of person to hold deep hatred in her heart.
