Chapter 536 Annie was dumbstruck by Grayson's suggestion. In confusion, she asked, "Dad, have you given up on our family's dignity?" Grayson's eyes darted around.
Sabrina couldn't meet Annie's eyes either. However, she still spoke up for Grayson. She advised, "Annie, this is not about our dignity. It concerns whether or not the Silvers can remain in Jipsburg. As to everything else... it doesn't seem so important. He isn't going to embarrass us too much." Annie bit her lip and asked, "Are you sure?" "We have no better options. This is our only choice. Even if Steven doesn't deserve you, you can break up with him in the future. You can just use the excuse of unmatched personalities to leave him. It won't be problem." Sabrina had thought of a way out already.
Despite being the one to suggest it, she still felt uneasy about the idea. She'd put her everything into raising Annie to who she was now. She could've married into a wealthier family in Jipsburg. In the end, she had to date a poor man. Just the thought of it displeased Sabrina.
Grayson's mind was a mess. His face was devoid of color as he said, "Your mom is right. Do as she says. Contact Steven as soon as possible." Suddenly, Rowan called.
When Annie saw that he was the caller, she hesitated before picking up.

"Rowan." Sabrina frowned and said, "Pick up. Perhaps Rowan is calling to devise a method for dealing with him." Annie wasn't as optimistic as her. Rowan wouldn't offer help for nothing. In addition, if Rowan called now he probably knew what had happened.
The calmer she felt, the more Her scalp prickled. In the end, she picked up. "Rowan." "You're an idiot, Annie. You've known Joe for so long. Haven't you heard that no one has succeeded in drugging him? How dare you feed him an aphrodisiac? The Silvers could've left Jipsburg unscathed. Now, your family is done for," Rowan scolded. He was dumbstruck by Annie's stupidity.
They'd just talked during the gala. Yet, she made a dumb mistake immediately afterward.
Annie had left him on speaker. She wanted Sabrina and Grayson to hear him.
Shcolored their expressions after hearing Rowan's admonishments.
"Initially, I'd thought there wouldn't be any problems. I also thought that Joe had a place forin his heart. In the end, it was all my imagination. Do we have no chance of survival anymore?" Annie tried to remain calm.
A Grayson and Sabrina stared at her phone together.
Throughout the journey, their hearts had leaped into their throats.
Yet, Rowan chuckled coldly. He asked, “What do you think? You're so dumb, Annie. You weren't put up to this by your family, were you? You've got a brain, and it functions perfectly. Why would you agree to their antics? The Silvers won't be able to escape the impending crisis.
2/2 "I've called to give you a heads-up because we've been friends for a long time. Stop scheming against Joe. If you upset him again, you might suffer a fate worse than the Williamses." Did Steven say not to upset Joe? Would asking Skylar to plead mercy for them through Steven upset him? The Silvers were thrown into shock tafter Rowan's words.

He did not engage in worthless conversation with them. Rowan hung up once he was finished. He did not give Annie the chance to ask any questions.
"I believe you have gotten Rowan's message. What do you think we should do next? What happened tonight has disrupted my plans. I was planning to marry Steven as soon as possible. After our marriage, Skylar would definitely vouch for us in Steven's name," said Annie with tightly clasped hands. No one knew how much she regretted her behavior.
She shouldn't have hoped for a miracle.
She'd told her parents. However, they disagreed.
Upon hearing Annie's words, they regretted their behavior horribly.
Sabrina's eyes glistened. She said, "There's no point in saying all this now. You should think of how to speak to Steven so he persuades Skylar to help us." Annie said exhaustedly, "Letthink about it." Throughout the night, Skylar felt like nothing in front of Joe.
They labored throughout the night in different positions.
