Chapter 207 We Still Have A Chance

Annabelle sat in front. She was wide awake and looking ahead with an empty expression.

She heard the noises behind her, but Yuliana’s words rang in her ears repeatedly.

Yuliana is right. I’m also selfish but dare not admit it,” she thought.

Ever since Daryl died, she became a burden no one wanted to bear. Her biological mother, Xenia, was unwilling to care for her, and Annabelle’s stepmother, Francesca, was even more so.

The Johnson family would never take care of her as it was strenuous and unrewarding.

For a while, she was passed around like a hot potato. She moved from home to home. Finally, for the sake of Annabelle’s money, Francesca agreed to take her in.

The Solace family had given her the money as thanks for Daryl rescuing Christopher.

At the time, the members of the Solace family could tell that no one cared about her. Hence, they divided the money into three portions. One for her grandparents, one for her stepmother, Francesca, and one for Annabelle herself. Of course, Annabelle’s portion was the largest.

After she received the money, her grandparents, uncles, aunts, and even Francesca fought with each other over who should raise her.

Of course, Francesca won in the end, but the Johnson family was unhappy. After all, the amount of money given to her was enormous, or at least it was an amount the Johnson family would have difficulty making even if they spent their entire lives doing so. Hence, they had a long-term dispute with Francesca.

Everyone was fighting over money, and no one cared about the late Daryl, much less Annabelle.

Later on, Christopher took her back to the Solace residence.

While she enjoyed the warmth of a home, she was always haunted by bloody nightmares. The tragic image of when the gangsters killed Daryl was constantly on her mind.

All of this was because of Christopher.

If it weren’t for him, her father wouldn’t have died so tragically.
