Chapter 18 The Teacher Took Me With Him To Shop Dana felt an invisible hand slapped her in her face. She clenched the palm of her hand and told herself to keep calm but still could not hide her pale face. When Ann looked at her like this, it got even worse. "Sure enough, you have what kind of mother everyone wished they have. And what you say is always better than what you sing. In the final analysis, it's not a bargain for the money, huh-" Before Ann finished what she was about to say, Dana felt that the last string in her head was loosened up. She clenched her teeth. She had been long enduring it again and again but now, she could not bear it anymore. "Mrs. Roosevelt," Dana mockingly laughed. "Don't you look uneducated and barbaric for you to talk like that? My mother told me before she died that if you want to have beautiful lips, you should speak in a friendly way. If Mrs. Roosevelt had paid attention to her image over the years, it wouldn't have made her crazy about my mother, would she?" She said it as if she was only talking to herself and not with the woman in front of her. "You!" Dana said finally those words, which could be regarded as completely infuriated Ann. It was true that Dana's mother was a famous beauty of Progress at that time. Although she came from ordinary family background, she was better than her appearance. She only needed to look at the face that Dana inherited from her now. Ann was so angry that she was shaking. "Benedict, go! We don't have to talk to animals!" After a few seconds, the middle-aged woman seemed to be unable to stand it any longer and said angrily. "Yes. Ma'am." Then with a dull sound, the black car left. And Dana's face suddenly grew cold. The wind brought up by the car made her cheeks hurt and there was wind around her afterward. She did not know how long had passed. The girl slowly squatted down on the ground. Her eyes were closed tightly and her whole body began to tremble. Ann's words were still ringing in her ears. After so many years, she still hated her so much. Nothing seemed to have changed but her mother. She was dead forever and ever. Dana crouched on the ground and hugged herself tightly. She was trembling and idle for a while there. She did not know when the first drop of rain fell from the sky. Then, it went down faster and heavier. Under the heavy rain, finally, there was a faint cry of the girl. This was the secret that Dana had been repressed in her heart for 20 years now. Family affection was forever missing in her childhood. Just then, Dana suddenly felt that the rain had lightened all over the sky. She looked up blankly in surprise with tears all over her face. What came into view was the cold pair of eyes coming from a man who wore his business attire. "Mr. Herbert?" Dana stared blankly at the man who did not know when he had appeared. "Do you have a penchant for being caught in the rain?" "What?" The voice was so cold that Dana did not respond to what he said for a moment. When she came back to her senses and realized something, she immediately stood up. "No, I was just picking up something." The girl wiped away her tears guiltily. "Do you need to cry like this when you pick up things?" Dana did not respond. How did he know that she was crying? The man did not speak but stepped forward toward her with an umbrella in his hand. It only took a second to quickly identify her current situation. "What happened this time?" She did not have her bag nor her have her cell phone. He saw what he deemed her to be arguing with the people inside that black car just now but did not hear anything clearly. When he saw it, she was probably in a bad mood right now. Dana held back a sob. "No, it was nothing. What can I do for you, Mr. Herbert? Why are you here?" Although this was also high-end real estate, she remembered that Mr. Herbert's house was not located nearby. "I was just passing by." The man uttered two words with an expressionless face written. She looked around. There were so many roads and he happened to pass by the road where her apartment was? Really. Just passing by? Dana did not think about it. She was just caught in the rain and her body was still dripping. Her hair was also dripping down her pointed chin. She was so cold that she was chilled by the gust of wind. The man looked at her like this and still without a trace of emotion in his eyes, he said, "Get in the car." "Huh?" "Don't make me say the same thing again." Dana finally followed him into the car without a word. Because first, she was afraid of him. Afraid that he would let her fail because he was also terrible. Second, she really felt cold. Dana sat in the passenger's seat and looked out of the window blankly. It was the third time she had ridden his car but she did not know where he was taking her. Just then, the black luxury car stopped in front of a luxury mall. "Get out of the car."
