Chapter 2 Never Used a Penny from Him

After Brandon left, his personal assistant John Walsh came in with medicine.

He handed the pills to Annie and said, "Miss Hart, please take these."

It was birth control pills. But, since Brandon didn't love her, he wouldn't allow her to get pregnant.

Every time after they were done, he would have John send the pills and even watch her take them.

Annie looked at the white pill and felt pain in her heart again.

Whether it was because of her illness or being hurt by Brandon's heartless, she couldn't breathe due to the pain.

"Miss Hart..."

Seeing that she didn't respond, John immediately reminded her in case she wouldn't take them.

Annie glanced at him calmly and took the pill without drinking any water. She swallowed it hard on its own.

Only then did John relax his worried expression and take out property deeds and a check from his briefcase one by one before placing them in front of Annie.

"Miss Hart, this is Mr. Ross' compensation for you. In addition to the house and luxury car, he also gives you an extra fifty million yuan. Please accept it."

He was quite generous indeed.

Unfortunately, what she wanted wasn't money.

Annie smiled at John as she raised her head: "I don't need these things."

John was puzzled when he heard this: "Do you think it's not enough?"

Upon hearing this sentence, Annie only felt bitter inside...

Even John thought that she was for money.

He gave so much break-up money because he was afraid that she would bother him again for money in the future, right?

With a wry smile on her face, Annie picked up a black card and said: "This is what he gave me. Please help me return it to him and tell him that I have never used a penny from him so that I won't accept his money either."

John was completely stunned this time around. Hadn't Miss Hart used Mr. Ross' money in the past five years?

Annie didn't care whether John believed her or not, as she directly put the black card on top of those property deeds.

She turned around and left Holmby Hills.

It was quite cold during New York's winter.

Annie walked on the streets of the villa district.

Her thin figure was reflected on the ground, making her look even more emaciated than ever before.

She tightened her white coat, gritted her teeth, stepped on high heels and slowly made her way back to her apartment one step at a time.

Upon pushing open the door, she saw that it was very large, occupying an entire floor area with luxurious decoration throughout...

However, Annie felt that it was icy cold inside without any warmth, just like Brandon's heart.

She sat down on the sofa for a while before starting to pack up things.

Brandon had given this apartment to her, but since he didn't want her anymore, then she wouldn't keep anything he had given either...

Annie took out a suitcase, opened the closet and put all the clothes into it.

She hadn't brought much stuff over here; after packing everything quickly enough, Annie took her suitcase and left the apartment behind...

After getting into the car, she sent John a text message:

[John, the password for Emperor Apartment is 0826.]

John was smart enough to understand immediately upon seeing this message: Miss Hart did not spend any money from Mr Ross and refused his gift of an apartment too!

Such a quick break-up seemed nothing like a woman who knelt in front of Mr Ross begging for a million dollars for one night five years ago.

He quickly went to the company, returned everything to Brandon as it was and conveyed Annie's words verbatim to him.

Brandon raised his eyes and scanned the things on the table. His cold gaze then fixed on that black card.

He asked John in a cold voice: "Is there an extra million inside?"

John immediately nodded: "Yes."

Before returning back to the office, John had checked how much money was left on that black card at the bank.

Apart from the monthly amount Mr.Ross ordered him to transfer, there was also an additional one million yuan...

It was quite clear that this was Miss Hart's payment for selling herself off, which she had now returned back to Mr Ross himself.

Brandon furrowed his thick eyebrows, pondering over it for a while before extending out his knuckle-bone distinct fingers and directly breaking that black card into two pieces.
