After knowing Who She Is They Kneeled novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71

Walking out with the crowd, Annelise adjusted her dark red baseball cap, her expression cool and indifferent, as if none of this had anything to do with her.

Joel, however, was puzzled, “Who do you think has this kind of power?”

Annelise’s voice was flat, “I don’t know.”

Joel rubbed his chin. “That’s true. How would you know? EvenPennington hasn’t heard anything. Right, Lin?”

Lin was lost in thought. “Yeah, right.”

Annelise glanced at him, her tone casual. “It’s Karma. If you haven’t done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear.”

Joel nodded. “I’m not scared, anyway. I don’t practice medicine, and my grandpa just drinks all day and stays out of these things.”

Lin looked up. “I’m not scared either. I trust the old man.”

Annelise smiled faintly. “My grandma always tells me that after her incident, only Lin’s grandpa still acknowledged her as an old friend. Mr. Pennington will be fine.”

Lin finally relaxed completely and started muttering, “I’ve had it with the Kendrick family for a long time. I saw how awful their attitude was at the hospital last time. They tried to throw their weight around, but I taught them a lesson this time, hmph!

I don’t know which hero stepped up, but I have to say, that was truly righteous!”

“Indeed.”

Annelise wasn’t the least bit embarrassed, accepting her follower’s praise. Her voice was neutral, “The Kendrick fami- ly is finished. It’s our turn for that outrageous fortune.”

Lin’s handsome face lit up. “Exactly!

This…”

Wait, why does that phrase sound so familiar?

Could it be that I’ve been scrolling through TikTok too much…

Lin tugged at his earbuds, completely puzzled.

Annelise, walking ahead, smirked. As she neared the exit of the inner hall, she seemed to realize something and glanced back, looking up toward the top floor of the manor.

Chapter 71

There was a glass room there, with the best view of the entire manor.

The Winthrop family… they really couldn’t be underestimated. Especially that third young master of the Winthrops…

Annelise withdrew her gaze and blended back into the crowd.

Outside the manor, Gloria, who wasn’t part of the main entourage, had no idea what had happened and was happily enjoying some dessert.

She occasionally chatted with the people next to her.

“Yes, my daughter is Mr. Kendrick’s new apprentice.”

A trophy wife praised her, “You’re so good at raising kids. My son is just hopeless.”

Gloria smiled. “Julie has always been an easy child, I never had to worry about her. She goes to university in Brook- ford.”

“Brookford!”

The people in the industry circle were extremely envious.

These accompanying trophy wives were rich, that was true, but they weren’t very well-informed.

Only the people in the inner hall knew that the Task Force had taken someone away.

After all, the Winthrop family had always been excellent at maintaining privacy.

Besides, the head of the Winthrop family, Adrian, knew about this operation from the start.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

Members of the Task Force went specifically to thank him.

Dressed in a suit, Adrian stood in the glass room at the very top of the manor, overlooking the entire estate, his ex- pression indifferent. “Don’t mention it, Captain Yuan. The Winthrop family isn’t infallible. Our system was breached as well. My subordinates are useless.”

Hearing this, Solo, the one in charge of the security system, didn’t dare to even lift his head.

The seasoned group leader said, “This informant is a big deal-ruthless and an expert at hacking. We’ve put the word out and are contacting the Patriotic Hacktivist Collective to see if they can find them.”

“Even you couldn’t find out who did it?”

Adrian rolled the crimson prayer beads on his wrist, his pitch-black eyes as deep as an ancient pool, his thin lips curl- ing into a faint smile. Interesting…
