'Did she truly have no shame left?' Annie wondered, her fists clenching.
Sure enough, the very next day, her adoptive mother appeared at the entrance of the base. She stood there, waiting.
Annie had already been informed.
The cold wind brushed against her cheeks as she walked toward the entrance, determination etched into her features. 'This ends today,' she told herself.
Before she could step outside, Felix appeared and blocked her path.
Annie frowned. "Why are you stopping me?"
Felix studied her expression carefully. "How are you planning to deal with her?"
Annie's eyes burned, though her voice remained eerily calm.
"I will kidnap her and throw her far away from both the SiIvy base and my life. Somewhere, she will never find her way back to me."
Felix's brows furrowed deeply. "That is not a good approach."
Annie let out a bitter chuckle. "This is the apocalypse. Who still cares about morals?"
