SWNOVELS Chapter 4
Chapter 4 Can’t You Take It Anymore?
Carlos stared at the girl sitting alone in the falling snow with cold eyes.
Seeing Anna still waiting, Pier finally felt a little pleasure of revenge, “She’s been waiting from morning until now. How is it? Has the hatred in your heart been released a little bit?”
Carlos continued to shake the red wine in his hand with an indifferent expression. The weak figure was still sitting in the snow, and she was about to become a snowman in the wind
and snow.
Suddenly, Carlos’s eyes widened slightly.
He saw Anna holding snow and stuffing it into her mouth.
Carlos lowered his head and gulped down the red wine. The slightly sour liquid swept across his throat, blurring his voice. He said slightly, “Has she been waiting for a day?”
Pier became interested, “It’s true. I especially sent someone to watch her. You know, my dad arranged for her to meet Raul, and the Rubin family had to agree to a blind date with such an ex–con out of politeness. But Raul refused!”
He quickly took out his phone and called Anna.
Under the gaze of the two men upstairs, Anna tremblingly took out her phone from her coat pocket, picked it up, and said softly, “Hello?”
“Well, I misremembered the table number. It should be

number 3. Hurry up, he has already arrived.”

“Okay,” Anna said in a hoarse voice. She hung up the phone, stood up, and flicked the snow off her clothes. Just as she raised her eyes slightly, she suddenly met Carlos’s eyes. In just a moment, Anna knew that all of this was a prank by the two of them, but she still had no right to blame or expect anything. She just silently looked away and walked to the table that Pier had mentioned.
Regardless of what would happen in the future, it was always better than going back to the dark prison, or to her biological father who would only bring her pain. She gathered her dry and frizzy hair a little bit, and each one of them was showing her pain of these years. She buried them in her neck so that at least she could block some of the surrounding chills.
Back in the hall, the warmth rushed over, and Anna felt a little dizzy being warmed up. He saw Carlos’s cold face and quickly shook her head. After some searching, she finally saw table three where Raul turned his back to her direction. Without hesitation, she walked towards the table.
She somehow felt strange. Raul seemed to have gained a lot of weight and he didn’t look like the man she had seen three years ago. When she got closer, she looked sideways and found that even his face had changed. Before she could say hello, a woman suddenly rushed in from the main entrance and slapped Anna hard in the face.
“Bitch! Slut! How dare you seduce my husband?! I’ve finally caught you today!”
As this farce unfolded, people all gathered around. Anna fell to the ground, and her ears were still buzzing. The woman had

slapped Anna with all her strength and Anna could barely stand up. She sat in a daze with her eyes downcast. She pitifully caressed her aching cheek with clear fingerprints with her cold hand.
There were more and more people gathering around, and someone recognized Anna, “Hey! Isn’t she the famous Miss Anna Perkins in Yilia City?”
“Really? How could it be like this?”
“Well, she was always arrogant and domineering. It’s retribution.”
Yes, it was retribution indeed. Fate never took pity on anyone.
Anna stood up unsteadily, and wanted to leave the scene after standing still, but was grabbed by the onlookers.
“Where are you going, murderer?!”
“What? You mean she killed someone?”
“Yes.”
The woman who grabbed Anna seemed to know her, and sank her nails into Anna’s arm, “Three years ago, it shocked the whole Yilia City! This woman was jealous of the real daughter of the Perkins family. She pushed the poor girl and drowned her in the river!”
“She’s so vicious! Why did she only spend three years in prison?! It’s too light!” Others were speechless.
Anna looked at the woman who spoke and found that it was her acquaintance many years ago. It was Dianne Wood who had lost to Anna in the piano competition and been ridiculed

“You’re crying when you lose the game. Do you think this is a kindergarten?” She threw 100 bucks to Dianne, “Take it and buy some candy, kid!”
Every dog had its day. Now it was her turn to be ridiculed. Anna chuckled secretly.
“Bitch, what are you laughing at?! You seduced my husband. Do you think it’s an honor to be a mistress?” The woman who had slapped Anna was still very angry. If it wasn’t for her man pulling her back, she wanted to slap Anna a few more times.
Dianne’s sarcastic laughter was loud. She stood with folded arms and said with a trace of contempt on her face, “Well, look, the rich girl who swore to marry Carlos is now a mistress!”
Hearing her words, the others laughed along with her.
Then Dianne immediately corrected, “Oh, no, I was wrong. She was not a rich girl. She was a fake! She killed the real daughter and even tried to steal her man. She’s such a big slut! Haha!”
Public humiliation had happened to Anna in prison before, and bad memories flooded back to her. Anna couldn’t stand it anymore and ran out of the restaurant.
The snow was slippery. She fell heavily on the ground, and her jaw hit the cold ground. She clenched her teeth tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
But she held back. The old scars on her body hadn’t faded away. Such things had happened to her three years ago, and

this was just another new memory point. It was no big deal.
Suddenly, the snowflakes falling overhead disappeared, and they were all flying in an unknown direction. She felt a sense of warmth at her feet as if someone followed her out.
She struggled to stand up, fixed her gaze on the shadow above her head, and found that it was Carlos.
He was holding an umbrella. His eyes were dark and cold. “Why, can’t you take it anymore?”
