Chapter 416 - Revenge 417: Childhood Sweetheart Is Back (1/2)

”Which one do you want to hear first, the good news or the bad news?”

Lannie's sudden question caught Anna off guard, but she didn't hesitate to answer. ”The bad news, I guess?” Anna is not even sure if she wants to hear the bad news. Either way, she will get both answers, so picking the bad news first is not big of a deal.

”Well, I was hoping you would like to pick the good news first, but if that's what you want then, I will gladly tell you.” Before coming here, Lannie was debating if she wanted Anna to know of not so good news to Anna. She's afraid that Anna might get angry because even herself, she's quite angry. Nevertheless, Anna has the right to know. ”I heard from my parents that my brother's so-called childhood sweetheart is back, and I got a feeling that she's gonna do something bad.”

When Anna heard that, her movements stopped for a few seconds then, she answered. ”I see.”

Her answer wasn't the one that everyone at the table is expecting, especially Lannie. They all thought that Anna would be panicking after hearing that or at least slightly worried about that so-called childhood sweetheart.

Anna's calm demeanor is somewhat making them worry for her. They are not sure if Anna is confident that nothing will happen and she is just only trying so hard to calm herself after hearing the news, either way, they want Anna to be honest with them.

”'I see'? That's it? That's the only thing you want to say about this bad news?” Lannie wants to confirm if there is another specific feeling that Anna is trying to hide from them. But even after she asked that question, Anna still remained calm.

”Yes. That's it.” Anna said. She looks at Lannie, and knew exactly what's she's thinking. ”Don't get me wrong, Lannie. I am worried about that person, however, worrying too much is not gonna do me any good. Besides, I trust your brother.”

”You're unbelievable,” Lannie spoke. ”I know I shouldn't be saying this because I'm his little sister, but you shouldn't put too much trust in my brother. It's not good, you might get hurt in the end.” Lannie appreciates that Anna trusts her brother that much, however, she fears that with that much trust, the more painful it is for Anna to bear if somehow her brother betrays Anna.

”There is nothing I could do. If she's back, she's back. I can't do anything about it. But that doesn't that I won't fight back if ever she retaliates.” There are no ifs in this situation, she knew that the person Lannie is warning her of is going to retaliate.

In her past life, everyone knew that that person likes to destroy every woman who tries to get close to Kyle. And since she has a powerful background and Kyle behind her, everyone is afraid of her.

Now that Anna is thinking about it, she remembers that whenever there is a scandal between that person and Kyle, the scandal of them was immediately removed by the next day. Anna suspects that there was nothing going on between them, and that person was the one who spread that she and Kyle are together.

With that thought in mind, her worries about that person are decreasing a little bit. 'Let's see what else you can do.' Anna inwardly said.

Aaron noticed that smirk on his sister's face and couldn't help but frown at her. ”Why are you smirking like that? Don't tell me that you're planning something towards that person.” If his sister is going to move first, then Aaron wouldn't mind giving his sister a helping hand.

”Just because I'm smirking that does not mean that I'm planning something. I'm not as wicked as you think I am, brother.” Anna admits that she always smirks when she feels wants to mess up her prey, but it's not always like that. Knowing that is how her brother thinks that whenever she smirks she's up to no good, is somewhat making her sad.

He's making her feel like she's the bad guy.

”What? I'm not saying that. You're the who said that, not me.” Aaron spoke in a defensive tone.
