My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 2053 - 2047: Stop talking!

"Annie, I know you don’t like hearing me say this, but I have to tell you the truth. When you were at David’s company, he supported you, and you could do whatever you wanted with that backing. But now, things are completely different..."

"Joanna, that little bitch, is flourishing right now. She’s not going to let you have it easy. We’ve had our share of disagreements with her in the past, and now that you’re both in the entertainment industry, she’ll definitely try to suppress you."

"It’s tough for any good opportunities to come your way."

"I’m saying this for your sake: if there’s work, just take it. It’s better than sitting idle at home. You say that the competition in your circle is fierce, and if you idle around, you might be replaced by newcomers."

These words only stoked Annie’s fury.

Like a cat with its tail stepped on, she bristled: "Don’t even mention that scumbag David to me. He and Joanna are both nothing good. Mom, do you think I’ve lost to that little bitch, Joanna?"

Without waiting for Rose’s response, Annie clenched her teeth and said coldly: "I won’t lose to her, I absolutely won’t! No matter what, I won’t lose to that little bitch, Joanna."

"But Annie..."

Rose looked at her daughter’s distorted expression, hesitated, and still said: "I think you should swallow your pride. I don’t like the sight of that little bitch either, but now she’s not someone we two can handle."

"She is now the daughter of the White family. With just a word from her, she can make us suffer. If it weren’t for your father still being here, and her giving him some face, she would’ve already made a move against us."

"In a few days, it’s your dad’s birthday, and I plan to ask Joanna to come home and have dinner together. At that time, you can apologize to her at the dinner table, and your dad can help you speak up. After that, she probably won’t make things difficult for you anymore."

"What?!"

Annie stared at Rose in disbelief: "Mom, are you asking me to apologize to Joanna? Are you still my real mother?"

"It’s precisely because I’m your mother that I’m advising you like this. Annie, face the reality." Rose sighed, "The circumstances of the Lawrence family are getting worse, and so is your dad’s health. Now our family can only rely on you."

"If you get blocked again, what will our family do?"

"If you can swallow your pride and reconcile with Joanna, and let her help you a bit, your future path will be much easier."

"Impossible." Annie’s face turned pale with anger, and she yelled, "Mom, I can never submit to that little bitch again."

"Annie..." Rose wanted to continue persuading her.

Annie waved her hand impatiently: "Stop talking!"

With a ’bang’, the porcelain bowl of soup in Rose’s hand was pushed onto the ground.

The hot soup splashed out and onto Rose’s pant leg.

Annie’s expression changed as she looked at the broken porcelain bowl on the ground and then back at the rigid expression on Rose’s face. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "I have things to do, I’m leaving first," before walking past the pale-faced Rose and leaving the bedroom.

Benjamin, who had heard the commotion, came over and saw the mess on the floor, frowning, "What happened?"

"It’s nothing, I didn’t grip it properly and accidentally dropped the bowl," Rose quickly concealed her expression and called a maid into the room to clean up.
