Listening to the old man's words, Anne Davidson wore a disbelieving expression.
"Grandpa, have you thought about the reason why I'm even here?"
Anne Davidson pulled Oliver Peary to sit beside her, seemingly afraid that someone might take the child away.
"Even if I didn't show up today, you'd still go after Nia Mitchell; so why shouldn't I choose to reap the rewards?"
Whatever Anne Davidson does, there's always a reason.
Today's matter, at first glance, seemed completely unnecessary.
Her appearance was merely to make the old man slightly more accepting of her.
After all, years ago, the reason she couldn't settle in Capital Town was because of him.
Such a gesture of goodwill doesn't mean unconditional surrender.
Anne Davidson is naturally afraid that when the time comes, the old man will betray her and disregard her completely.
"I support Grandpa and have always been on his side."
She was trying hard to gain favor.
But...
It seemed all of this was completely useless.
