"Nick, since you received the money, you should let your daughter marry him!" Anne talked back brusquely.

Nick put away his kind face, "Anne, who has been looking after you for so many years since my brother and sister-in-law passed away? I've provided for you, have you forgotten that? Now my company is in trouble and short of money. Since Mr. Smith has canceled the marriage, I have to do this to save the company. Would you like to watch it go bankrupt?"

Her father passed away many years ago, and Anne knew the reason why they took her in. They wanted to acquire her father's company. Only she knew the pain of living under their roof for so many years.

The marriage cancellation was caused by Kate and Amy's scheme. With resentment, she looked at them, "You can marry him, but not me."

Following her words, she picked up her handbag and ran off regardless of their shouts.

It was already noon. Anne found a random place for lunch and then wandered about. After leaving Brown's house, she didn't know where to go.

After wandering around for a whole day, she still knew not where to go. She didn't dare to go back to Brown's house, and it was getting dark. Therefore, she randomly found a hotel to stay for the night.

However, she met a problem when she checked in.

"Miss, ID card is required for check-in."

Anne took out her purse and fumbled about. Her ID card was gone!

"Huh, where is my ID card? I've placed it in my wallet!" She rummaged through her wallet and handbag. Still, not a sign of the ID card!

Where was her ID card?

"Sorry, my ID card seems lost. Can I check in first?" Anne looked flatteringly at the front desk staff.

"Sorry, you can't without an ID card. This is our hotel policy."

Anne's face contorted with anxiety. How did she lose her ID card? Where was she supposed to go? Go back to Brown's house and face the reality of being sold?"

While she was deeply troubled, a cold, male voice went into her ears.

"I need a room."

His voice sounded as pleasant as cello music. It was so deep and attractive that Anne was almost mesmerized. Such a nice voice should belong to a handsome guy, eh?

She cast her eyes up and looked at the incomer. As tall as 1.88 meters, he was dressed in a pure black suit. It didn't look expensive but was well-tailored.

Under his inky eyebrows were a pair of eyes as deep as the dark pool. He boasted a high nose bridge, thin lips like blades, and sculpted features.

He looked like a deity from a painting!

Anne was dazed.

Taking the room card, Denny was ready to leave. He didn't even glance at her the whole time.

"Miss, since you don't have an ID card, please try another hotel." The front desk staff reminded Anne, bringing her back to reality.

Anne snapped back to her senses and immediately grabbed Denny's arm, "Handsome, could you do me a favor?"

At the end of her rope, she would rather face the handsome stranger than her aunt and uncle who had sold her.

Although she knew strangers were dangerous, she was 9th dan in karate and able to protect herself!

Denny glanced at Anne coldly and arched his pretty eyebrow, "Anything?"
