Chapter 2124: Chapter 2119: Did She Find Out Sothing?
What on earth was Jeremy Lawrence up to?
Had she offended him, so he was purposely saying those things to make her think?
It must be so.
Jeremy was offended by her, so he deliberately said those things.
She didn’t have to care about what Jeremy said.
As she thought this, however, Jeremy’s words had already impacted her.
So when Rose Liall ca out of the kitchen and asked her why she was standing at the kitchen door, Annie impulsively asked, “Mom, have you ever done anything to betray Dad?”
Rose, having a guilty conscience, trembled at her question.
“You, you girl! What kind of question is that? Have you been stimulated by sothing to suddenly ask such a strange question?”
Annie stared at her, “Just answer my question. Have you ever done anything to betray Dad?”
Rose’s reaction just now made Annie suspicious.
Because she saw guilt and panic in Rose’s eyes for the first ti.
This was not a normal reaction.
It was more like… the reaction of soone whose secret had been discovered.
Rembering Jeremy’s words just now, and seeing Rose’s evasive and shifting gaze, Annie’s face beca extrely ugly.
She clenched her fists and turned pale, “Did you really do sothing to betray Dad?”
“Nonsense.” Rose Liall, under her questioning, beca sowhat angrily defensive, “What’s wrong with you? I’ve told you not to worry and overthink. Fine, I’m still busy and don’t have ti to talk about these unfounded things with you.”
“If you have nothing else to do, help bring the finished dishes out.”
Rose finished speaking and quickly returned to the kitchen.
The mont she turned around, her face changed.
The panic and confusion in her eyes were once again revealed.
She had done that thing very discreetly.
She hadn’t ntioned it to anyone else either.
But why did Annie ask her like that just now?
Did she know anything?
No, it’s impossible.
Rose clenched her lips and imdiately dismissed this idea from her mind.
She hadn’t revealed a single hint to Annie, so how could she possibly know?
But if she didn’t know…
Why did she suddenly ask like that just now?
As Rose entered the kitchen, her face was gloomy, and Annie’s face outside was even worse.
She hadn’t taken Jeremy’s words seriously at first.
But Rose’s reaction made her start to doubt.
What if Jeremy really knew sothing?

After a while, at dinner ti.
At the dining table,
Benjamin blew out the candles, cut the birthday cake, and everyone around the table clinked glasses and wished him a happy birthday.
Benjamin looked at the people beside him: his wife, his son, his daughter, and his son-in-law.
He was very happy at tis like this.
For him, there was nothing happier than his family getting along peacefully.
So when Joanna Lawrence offered a toast to him alone, he looked at Annie with his wine glass, then turned back to Joanna and said with a comforting tone, “Joanna, you and Ashton coming back to celebrate Dad’s birthday makes very happy.”
“Do you know, for , seeing our whole family doing well is the best gift.”
“Dad knows, there are still so conflicts between you and Annie that haven’t been resolved. Dad knows you’ve always been a generous and tolerant person. Annie has indeed done so bad things, but she has also been punished accordingly.
