Chapter 422

Holly and Annie went up to the counter. There were two employees. One of them was fervently telling Holly to sign up for a membership card.

Holly had actually intended to do just that. But at the thought of Samantha frequenting the salon as well, she decided not to. It wasn't worth the trouble.

She refused the receptionist politely.

They then walked into the elevator.

Holly asked, "What made you so riled up today?"

Annie massaged her wrist, saying, "My family came from a farm. When I was in elementary school, my mom married my stepfather, Hayden's dad. We moved to the city after that.

"I didn't like dressing up, so I was bullied in school. They called me a commoner and a country bumpkin. What's worse is that they put worms and bugs in my schoolbag and beat me up in the washroom. I got so mad that I took up self-defense classes.

"After we graduated, I beat all my bullies up. When I heard Samantha today, I remembered how it felt like to be bullied, and I just couldn't stop myself.
