Chapter 551
Sabrina couldn’t help but clench her fists. She felt utterly lost.
“A gentleman? Only ordinary people bother with that. Annie, don’t tell me you’re really into him. He’s not good enough for you,” Sabrina said with a tone full of disdain.
Annie knew that she couldn’t change Sabrina’s mind no matter what she said. Hence, she muttered quietly, “I understand.”
After Annie left, Sabrina sat on the couch, looking displeased. “That Steven is really taking advantage of Annie.”
Grayson frowned deeply. He looked at Sabrina with the same displeased expression. “If you hadn’t made those impulsive calls to Mrs. Martin Senior in the beginning, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”
He replayed the entire situation in his mind. Ultimately, it was Sabrina’s foolishness and thoughtlessness that caused all their problems.
Of course, it was also partly Skylar’s fault. A woman from the countryside caused so much trouble for the Silver family.
“You blame me? You supported me then, believing we couldn’t let anyone hinder Annie’s future. How was I supposed to know Skylar would captivate Joe so much? How could I have predicted he would dote on her so much?”
Sabrina felt embarrassed whenever she thought of it.
Now that the Silver family was in trouble, all her former friends refused to take her calls Some even blocked her on WhatsApp.
Thinking about it felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her chest. She felt a relentless
suffocation.
Grayson fell silent.
Sabrina said, “Our family… If we can’t get through this crisis, will we really be finished? Will we end up like the Williams family?” Sabrina finally realized the gravity of the situation and was scared.
Grayson’s face turned pale. “Our situation could be worse than the Williams family. We might not be able to face our family members afterward. So, let’s hope Steven can persuade Skylar.”
“If Steven manages it, do we really have to marry Annie off to him?” Sabrina asked reluctantly.
A gleam appeared in Grayson’s eyes. He shook his head and said, “It’s too early to discuss marriage. Let’s first see if he can help us. If he does, we’ll support him in his career. That’s more than enough.”

“You’re right. It’s too soon
Osay anything definitive.” Sabrina nodded in agreement. She had been overthinking the situation.
Annie drove to Steven’s apartment. As she got out of the car, she looked up at the apartment building.
The lights were on in Steven’s apartment, so he should still be there. It was already 10:00 pm; Skylar should have left by now.
Annie had a key card Steven had given her, so she entered the apartment building and took the elevator.
Steven lived on the 28th floor.
Most of the residents in this apartment were Steven’s colleagues.
In the elevator, someone even recognized her. They knew her as Steven’s girlfriend. She had visited his company before in that capacity.
She stopped in front of Steven’s door when she stepped out of the elevator.
Annie felt a wave of anxiety wash over her. She took a few deep breaths.
Then, she rang the doorbell. After a few rings, she thought she heard footsteps approaching from inside the apartment. It should be Steven coming to the door.
But the footsteps stopped in front of the door. Annie’s heartbeat quickened.
She knew Steven was standing just on the other side. However, she couldn’t help but wonder why Steven wasn’t opening the door. Why was he hesitating?
“Steven, are you there?” Annie asked softly.
As soon as she spoke, the door opened.
