Chapter 1224: Different from What was Imagined

"But you said Rose Liall isn't your biological mother?"

Annie Lawrence was taken aback, lifting her head to meet Madam White's sharp gaze, her back immediately breaking out in a cold sweat.

She stammered, "She, she indeed is not my biological mother. My adoptive father once told me that he was afraid his boss's enemies would find me, so he sent me away to be raised."

"My actual age is one year older than it is now. I was registered a year younger back then, also out of fear that those enemies would come knocking."

After finishing her speech, Annie Lawrence couldn't help but sigh of relief.

She felt as if she had just escaped from the brink of death.

Luckily, she and Rebecca Kelloway had guessed what Madam White might ask, so they had already prepared responses.

But even so, she was still so nervous she broke out in a sweat.

At first, Annie Lawrence thought that Madam White might be naive and easily fooled like many from wealthy families.
