The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 717

Even if Otis picked on Annalise now, she could stand up for herself without having to ask others for help.

He was planning his next move in earnest when his phone rang. He glanced at the screen and frowned when he saw Yelena's name flashing on it.

At first, Otis loved Yelena, believing she was a product of his and her mother's love. Yelena was his daughter, after all, and he truly cared for her.

He might have continued to love her if she and her mother hadn't run off with his money after he was thrown behind bars, or if they hadn't been so condescending toward him after he was released from prison.

"What do you want?" Otis demanded, not bothering to hide his contempt.

"You incompetent geezer!" Yelena snapped. She had no respect for Otis and was unafraid to show it. "You could've stood up for me after I was attacked online!" Otis was surprisingly calm when he heard this. "Are you blaming me?"

Yelena and her mother were the ones who wanted to reconcile with him, not the other way around. He didn't owe them anything, and he hoped they would remember that.

A long pause later, Yelena bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry, Dad."
