Connor roared in anger, "Are you crazy? Who allowed you to meddle in my affairs?"
Alina felt hurt by his tone.
This was the first time Connor spoke to her in such a tone.
Alina said stubbornly, "I can't just watch as you get slandered. Connor, I told you that between us, there must be at least one to be happy. As long as you are happy, I will be satisfied. I will help you clear all the obstacles."
Connor shouted furiously, "Alina, who told you to act on your own? What makes you think you are helping me?"
Alina was upset and sounded mad. "Why are you mad at me? Annette is Lance's daughter and that can't be changed. If people know it, no one will misunderstand her relationship with Austin. Isn't it a good thing for both you and Annette?"
Connor roared, "Enough! You know nothing!"
Alina raised her eyebrows but she sounded anxious. "I know you are worried that Lucas will be angry after Annette's identity is exposed. Don't. I will talk to Lucas."
