Of course, Rose Liall knew.
But she still had to pretend, acting as if she didn't know: "I, I have no idea. However, having a job is always a good thing, right? Once you have a job, you can make money, and you're really short on cash now, aren't you?"
Annie Lawrence sneered: "Work? Heh, he's asking me to accompany old men like Jacob, is that considered work? What do you think, should I go or not?"
"This..." Rose Liall pretended to be troubled, putting on a distressed expression for a moment before saying, "Of course, Mom doesn't want you to go. This is an insult to my daughter. But this is your decision, and Mom can't make it for you."
"You still have to... make your own decision."
Annie Lawrence looked at Rose Liall's disingenuous expression and felt even more disgusted.
She was angry, repulsed, but also sad.
Even though she already knew what kind of person Rose Liall was, after all, she is her biological mother and has always been very loving towards her.
