CEO's Revengeful Queen

Chapter 16: Who Do You Think You Are?

"Which stepmother would be nice to their stepdaughter? Besides, Hunk is not a good person. He was

just an odd-job man for the Powell's at that time. Hunk wouldn't be at his position now if not for Miss

Powell. According to his illegitimate daughter's age, he had been with that mistress even during Miss

Powell's pregnancy!"

"In my opinion, maybe Hunk and that mistress had something to do with the death of Miss Powell.

Otherwise, how could Miss Powell pass on at such a young age?

Annetta dug her fingernails into her palm as she listened to the discussions around her. She could only

control the anger she felt towards the White family when she had clenched her fists so tightly that it

drew blood from her palm.

If her mother's death was really related to those scums, she would definitely make them pay! As the

saying goes, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'

But now it was Grandpa’s 60th birthday, and she didn’t want to affect him. “Grandpa, I’m fine,” she told

him. “I have grown up. In the future, I will protect not only myself, but you too, Grandpa."

Lorin's eyes filled with tears upon hearing his beloved granddaughter say such things for the first time.

He patted Annetta's hand and nodded, "That's good to hear. Our Annetta has really grown up."

"Yeah, she has indeed grown up. She even knows how to seduce men now!"

A familiar and harsh voice came from outside the door. Annetta knew, without looking up, that it was

Hunk who had spoken. He had brought her stepmother, Cicely, and stepsister, Carla, along with him.

This also proved her theory that these scums had aggravated her grandfather's heart attack in her

previous life.

Since the days Hunk had been the Powells' odd-job man, Lorin had known that Hunk was not a good

person. He had never approved of Hunk dating his daughter, Flavia Powell, Annetta’s mother.

However, Hunk was too good at coaxing Flavia with flowery words, and Lorin had no choice but to

agree to their relationship. Later, after he married Flavia, he always went to Lorin for help and advice

and never dared to stand on his own two feet.

Now that Hunk had received a billion dollars from Ethan, he could not wait to go to Lorin's 60th birthday

party to show off and cause trouble.

Lorin's blood pressure rose when he saw Hunk and his current family. "Who let you in? What

nonsense are you talking about?"

"Dad, it is your 60th birthday. After all, you are my former father-in-law. As your ex-son-in-law, how

could I not come?" Hunk said, "Also, I'm here to teach my unfilial daughter a lesson!"

"That's right, Grandpa, don't be fooled by Annetta," Carla hurriedly stepped forward and said, " She's

not worthy of your love after all the things that she has done out there."

Due to Lorin's status in Toronto, Hunk had always wanted to curry favour with him. After Flavia's death,

Hunk had even wanted Carla to acknowledge Lorin as her grandfather. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Lorin had never been nice to him, and he would never acknowledge Carla as his granddaughter. These

reasons made Hunk hate Lorin even more.

"Who are you calling 'Grandpa'? Don't you have any shame? Annetta is the only granddaughter in the

Powell family. Who do you think you are to call my father 'Grandpa'?"

A familiar and arrogant voice spoke up. It was Annetta's uncle, Kevin Powell.

Kevin had been born to Lorin in his old age. As the favourite son, he had been spoilt and doted on. He

was a flamboyant, entitled, and arrogant person.

He had accomplished nothing due to his spoilt upbringing and was the headache of the Powell's

because he was always causing trouble everywhere.

However, he loved Annetta dearly and was also very defensive of his family.

In her previous life, Annetta had not liked this uncle because Kevin had not liked Caleb.
