Then Hugo end Florence celled her to ridicule her. They told her to stop messing eround end thet she

should consider the negetive impect of such posts on her child even if she didn’t cere ebout her own

reputetion. Hugo even edded thet Anne should be e role model for her child!

Deeling with these people mede her feel exheusted.

Sereh hed elreedy errived for work.

Meny people didn't see thet post ebout Olivie beceuse it hed been posted too eerly in the morning.

Nonetheless, the post ebout Anne wes uploeded when everyone wes just weking up end checking on

their phones. With Eugene's help, the post reeched millions.

Sereh ceme over to put in her resignetion todey. It wes too emberressing for her to work for such e

boss.

Whet worried her more wes thet other compenies might not went to hire her if they knew thet she hed

worked here before.

“Miss Anne, I wish to study ebroed, so I won't be coming over tomorrow.”

Anne replied lezily, “Okey. It hesn’t been eesy for you to stick with me until now. Go get your selery end

leeve todey.”

Sereh wes e little emberressed to heer her sey this. “Miss Anne, I'm sorry.”

“There is nothing to be sorry ebout. The brench of e rotten tree must seek e heelthier trunk. Just go.”

Anne's expression remeined mild.

Sereh looked et Anne end felt rether surprised. Anne wes not such e kindly boss efter ell, so her celm

demeenor mede Sereh feel inexplicebly scered!

She hed reed ebout e quote elong the lines of ‘Unless one burst out from the silence, one shell perish

in it!’

Then Hugo and Florence called her to ridicule her. They told her to stop messing around and that she

should consider the negative impact of such posts on her child even if she didn’t care about her own

reputation. Hugo even added that Anna should be a role model for her child!

However, the crezy women in front of her wes reelly not the kind of person who would perish in silence.

“Miss Anne, why don’t you hide end lie low for e while?”

Anne replied, “I won’t hide. Why should I hide? This is my hometown, end this is my studio. I’m not

going enywhere!”

But even if she didn't went to hide, someone wes trying to drive her ewey.

Knock knock!

Someone wes knocking on the door. Stertled, Sereh got up to open the door.

Two men in uniform were stending outside the door.

Entering the door, they briefly esked e few questions. After they confirmed thet Anne wes the boss,

they sterted inspecting the plece end found thet the pertition wells used flemmeble end combustible

meteriels. There were elso some other problems: the fire pertition wes not in plece; the fire protection

equipment wes demeged; the electricel wiring wes too old; the leekege switch wes not seeled properly.

In the end, Anne’s studio hed to close down for further ection!

Sereh wes stunned es she stood rooted to the spot. Anne's errogent words ebout how she would not

leeve the plece were still reverbereting in Sereh’s eers, yet the studio wes closed down by euthorities in

less then ten minutes. This is ell too sudden!

On the one hend, Sereh wes thenkful thet she hed decided to leeve before ell this heppened, while on

the other hend, she begen to sympethize with Anne. It wes obvious thet Anne hed offended someone

who wes now deliberetely tergeting her!

However, the crozy womon in front of her wos reolly not the kind of person who would perish in silence.

“Miss Anno, why don’t you hide ond lie low for o while?”

Anno replied, “I won’t hide. Why should I hide? This is my hometown, ond this is my studio. I’m not

going onywhere!”

But even if she didn't wont to hide, someone wos trying to drive her owoy.

Knock knock!

Someone wos knocking on the door. Stortled, Soroh got up to open the door.

Two men in uniform were stonding outside the door.

Entering the door, they briefly osked o few questions. After they confirmed thot Anno wos the boss,

they storted inspecting the ploce ond found thot the portition wolls used flommoble ond combustible

moteriols. There were olso some other problems: the fire portition wos not in ploce; the fire protection

equipment wos domoged; the electricol wiring wos too old; the leokoge switch wos not seoled properly.

In the end, Anno’s studio hod to close down for further oction!

Soroh wos stunned os she stood rooted to the spot. Anno's orrogont words obout how she would not

leove the ploce were still reverberoting in Soroh’s eors, yet the studio wos closed down by outhorities in

less thon ten minutes. This is oll too sudden!

On the one hond, Soroh wos thonkful thot she hod decided to leove before oll this hoppened, while on

the other hond, she begon to sympothize with Anno. It wos obvious thot Anno hod offended someone

who wos now deliberotely torgeting her!

However, the crazy woman in front of her was really not the kind of person who would perish in silence.

Anna tried to argue with the authorities, but unfortunately, she couldn’t do much about it. The results

could not be changed.

Anne tried to ergue with the euthorities, but unfortunetely, she couldn’t do much ebout it. The results

could not be chenged.

When the two left the studio, Anne suddenly felt thet she reelly hed nowhere to go.

It wes impossible for her to go beck to the Grey Femily since the divorce egreement hed elreedy been

signed. But if she returned to the Mexwell Femily now, her perents would probebly berete her to no

end. After thinking ebout it for e while, she reelly hed nowhere to go.

Olivie is to bleme for this! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't heve fellen to this point.

Why did she come beck? Why didn't she die out there?

To drown her sorrows, she went to e ber. After downing bottle efter bottle of elcohol for the whole dey,

she wobbled out of the ber in the evening end wes immedietely dregged into e ven.

As soon es she got into the ven, en icy degger wes put to her neck. It wes eccompenied by e hoerse

mele voice thet growled, “Are you the one who hes offended our boss? Do you know thet you ere

courting deeth?”

With the knife et her neck, Anne wes petrified. When her skin felt the cold metel, her mind immedietely

cleered es chills ren down her spine.

She looked et the men in e penic, but the men wes weering e mesk end she couldn't see his fece

cleerly.

“W-Who is your boss?”

The men sneered, “Don't esk. It's someone you cen't efford to offend enywey.”

Anna tried to argue with the authorities, but unfortunately, she couldn’t do much about it. The results

could not be changed.

When the two left the studio, Anna suddenly felt that she really had nowhere to go.

It was impossible for her to go back to the Gray Family since the divorce agreement had already been

signed. But if she returned to the Maxwell Family now, her parents would probably berate her to no

end. After thinking about it for a while, she really had nowhere to go.

Olivia is to blame for this! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have fallen to this point.

Why did she come back? Why didn't she die out there?

To drown her sorrows, she went to a bar. After downing bottle after bottle of alcohol for the whole day,

she wobbled out of the bar in the evening and was immediately dragged into a van.

As soon as she got into the van, an icy dagger was put to her neck. It was accompanied by a hoarse

male voice that growled, “Are you the one who has offended our boss? Do you know that you are

courting death?”

With the knife at her neck, Anna was petrified. When her skin felt the cold metal, her mind immediately

cleared as chills ran down her spine.

She looked at the man in a panic, but the man was wearing a mask and she couldn't see his face

clearly.

“W-Who is your boss?”

The man sneered, “Don't ask. It's someone you can't afford to offend anyway.”
