Chapter 32

  Annette thought of her mother again.

  She could never forget that stormy night and the bloody scene she saw when she opened the door of the bathroom...

  She covered her face with both hands, trying to push the pain out of her heart.

  Suddenly, Annette's phone rang again.

  She took it out and glanced at it.

  It was Kyle.

  Annette pressed her phone against her forehead, took a deep breath, and then pressed the answer button.

  Kyle's anxious voice came through. "Annette, I've just heard that you have been replaced. I don't know why my mother would do that. Where are you now? Can I come to you?"

  Annette said calmly, "Okay, take Lena and wait for me at the coffee shop. Remember, if you don't bring Lena with you, I won't talk to you."

  After hanging up the phone, Annette stood up. She took a shower and then put on a white shirt and a denim skirt. She put on light makeup and left home.

  She arrived at the door of the coffee shop and looked inside.
