The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 731

Upon seeing how two-faced Otis was, my lips curled into a mocking smile as I hummed, "Mhm?"

Otis said pretentiously, "I was thinking... Since I'm getting older, even if I have the stamina now, I won't be able to work for much longer. When that time comes, what will happen to my son?"

I met Otis' eyes, nodded, and said, "No problem."

When Otis heard that, he was in disbelief. Given our past conflict, he couldn't believe I had agreed so easily. He even wondered if I was trying to trick him.

He asked, "Why are you suddenly so cooperative?"

I was trying to lower his guard, so I smiled and said, "I'm your biological daughter, after all. Why would I hold a grudge against you?"
