Chapter 216

  A scream came from a room not far from Annette.

  Then there was the sound of Dwayne trying to stop Jessica from entering her room.

  "Annette, this isn't over! I will never let you go. I will make sure you lose everything."

  Annette ignored it and went on reading.

  She was certain that she wouldn't be enjoying herself while she was in Black Thorn Pack these days, so she might as well return the favor to them.

  By evening, Annette had finished two sets of exercises.

  She lay in bed and closed her eyes for a while.

  Moments later, she picked up her phone and called Roxanne.

  The background was noisy. Annette asked in confusion, "Are you outside?"

  "Yeah, I'm out shopping, and it's so boring wandering around alone. Are you free now? Can you come?"

  Annette sat up and said, "Sure. Where are you now?"

  "Great! I'm on the street where we often hang out. I'll wait for you in the café."

  "OK. I'm coming."

  "See you soon."
