Chapter 9 I Want To Help You
Aanisah avoided his gaze out of guilt, but she did not want to show her weakness, "It has nothing to do with me!" Anyway, her name was not written on it, and no one could prove that the red envelope was given by her.
But... Thinking of Johnny's angry expression, Aanisah couldn't help but shudder.
"I don't need to tell you how powerful the Wood Family is in City B. But you may have no idea how powerful it is in the U.S. and even the world..." Andrew turned to look at her, "Surely you don't even know how they deal with such things!"
"What does this have to do with me?" Aanisah wanted to leave, but somehow, after she heard these words, she felt numb, chillness all over her body.
"If Old Master Wood, who is also my father and Johnny's grandpa, knows that you sent joss papers to his grandson, what do you think he will do?" When Andrew said this, he suddenly seemed to think of something, "By the way, when Johnny was still young, he had once fought with others. Although he won, he was slightly injured. As a result, Old Master Wood drove away the boy who got him hurt and his family to Africa. Until now, there is no sign of them. I heard that they met some beasts, and then..."
"You are threatening me?" Aanisah's teeth began to tremble nervously.
"No!" Andrew shook his head, "I want to help you!"
"Help me?"
"Under such circumstances, only Johnny's elders can confront him and persuade Old Master Wood at the same time." The corner of Andrew's lips raised slightly, "Moreover, no matter how Johnny might be a jerk, I'm afraid he dares not fancy his youngest aunt."
"Youngest aunt?" Aanisah was taken aback, "You mean..."
"Since you have announced our relationship in front of so many people, if we don't implement it, I believe your sister will humiliate you with this, and your stepmother will send you to other men's beds. And Johnny will also..."
"I agree!" Aanisah suddenly made up her mind, and her palms clenched were full of cold sweat.
"No regrets?"
Aanisah paused. She hesitated.
She didn't know about the man in front of her, let alone the reason why he was trying to get her to agree with his plan. But when she thought of the arrogant gazes of Johnny and Peggy, she could no longer be rational.
What's more, Bess had been targeting at her. If she had to risk being handed over to Mr. Smith again, she preferred to take a gamble and bet that this man could really help her!
"As long as you don't regret it!"
Thinking of the terrible scene the night before, Aanisah still felt hurt. At that time, she only felt that she failed Johnny. Now she knew how naive her thoughts were.
The man she cared so much about wanted to be engaged to or even marry her sister, while she... had to embrace another man in order to avoid the hatred of Johnny and the plots of her stepmother...
Aanisah Brook, you were so sad!
"Regret what?" Andrew raised his brows slightly.
"..." Aanisah had to swallow it when she was about to tell him the truth.
She knew that she should be honest, but she couldn't tell the fact that she was raped in front of a strange man, especially Johnny's uncle.
It was her scariest scar and she would rather not think of it all her life.
"Forget it! It doesn't matter!" Anyway, it was just a title. He wouldn't marry her anyway. What's more, she had no interest in this playboy, "But I have a condition!"
"Anything you say!" Andrew smiled faintly, "but before that, we need to do one thing."
"What's up?"
"We should go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs first!"
