Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 516 Janette Is Missing

Alicia paled at my response, and she looked hurt. I realized I must have spoken a little too harshly. She gazed at me with a trace of sadness in her eyes and said, “I know you don’t really like Janette, but she’s still your sister.”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. I don’t feel like discussing this topic. You should drink more of the soup. I’ll leave after you fall asleep.”

She hopes I can get along well with Janette, but that brat is bossy and domineering. I don’t like her, and I don’t want to waste my breath on this topic.

“Anna, can I ask you a favor as your moth—”

She stopped abruptly, realizing it was probably unwise to refer to herself as my mother. She looked at me warily, seemingly worried that she had angered me.

“If there’s anything you need my help with, just tell me. I’ll do whatever I can,” I said.

Now that she was unwell, I would surely help her with whatever she needed as long as it was within my means.

“Janette dashed out at noon and hasn’t been back since. I’m a little worried about her. I called her many times, but she didn’t pick up. And now, her phone is switched off. I’m worried sick. Can you help me to look for her?” Alicia asked, looking at me with concern etched across her face.

I knew it. When I saw the look of distress on her face, I knew it had something to do with Janette. I frowned slightly. It had gotten to the point where the where mention of Janette’s name was enough to annoy me.

Seeing that I remained silent for a long time, Alicia became even more distressed. She tugged at my arm anxiously and pleaded in a tone full of urgency, “Anna, I know you don’t like Janette. But, she’s all alone in an unfamiliar place. If anything does happen to her, I don’t know what I’d do. Since you don’t like her, I’ll send her home in a couple of days. I won’t let her come to Avenport again.”
