Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 16.3

Spreading Rumors (3)

After another two days, the rumors spread to Anna's own home. When Anna came home that night, Gaea suspiciously asked Anna about the rumors.

In order to maintain the image of a pure and lively girl in Gaea's eyes, Anna pretended that this rumor was not made by herself, and said blankly: "There is no such thing, Young Master Parrish did not teach me to read."

Gaea was puzzled: "Then how..."

Anna comforted her: "It's okay, Mama. This rumor won’t negatively affect us; it’ll actually help us. This way, Bobby won't dare to persecute us again."

Gaea thought for a while, nodded suddenly, and said with joy: "You are right, Anna!"

"Then, Mama, if anyone asks in the future, you can say you don't know if it is true or not." Anna exhorted.

Gaea nodded again and again. For their family right now, this rumor was a gift from the heavens.

In an alley next to Pomegranate Lane, there was also a girl working as a maid in the earl's manor. Anna guessed that she might have spread the rumors. It didn't take long for the rumors to spread all over Pomegranate Lane, and many people came to Gaea to inquire. Gaea followed what Anna said, and told them that she didn't know anything.

And Anna went out early and returned late every day, avoiding all contact with strangers.

Last time Lily and her mother Renee came to Anna's house to have a fight. Anna refuted the rumors in front of everyone, saying that she did not seduce Young Master Parrish.

But after the new rumors came out, everyone had forgotten what happened last time. It's not that there were no civilians who captured the attention of the nobles, so why couldn't it be Anna? Moreover, the content of this rumor was very legendary. It was said that Young Master Parrish wanted Anna to be a wife worthy of him, so he taught her to read. This kind of "Cinderella and Prince Charming" love story could be dwell upon with great relish by people in any era.

In this world where class consolidation was extremely serious, such rumors were like a light of hope for the low-level civilians, and by grasping onto this light, they, too, seemed to have the possibility of rising up.

So, did it matter whether the rumors were true or false? It wasn’t important at all.

After a few days, Evan said that, for the time being, Bobby could not be seen in the tavern for the time being, and he would no longer stand in Anna’s way anymore.

Anna felt good about this. As long as she maintained her current situation, Bobby wouldn't dare to act rashly.

That evening, Anna returned to Pomegranate Lane before dark as usual, but her path was blocked by Bobby, who hadn't appeared for a long time.

Realizing that things might have changed, Anna deliberately kept a distance from Bobby and looked at him coldly.

Bobby the Butcher wanted to approach Anna, but Anna immediately backed away after seeing him approach. He could only stay where he was, stare at her, and say, “What is your relationship with Young Master Parrish?"

"None of your business." Anna responded indifferently. She didn't bother to be courteous to this kind of scum.

Bobby hesitated for a moment, as if thinking of something, and then put on a fierce expression. He said, "Bitch, do you think the aristocratic nobleman will take an interest in you? Stop daydreaming! I know that you and Young Master Parrish’s relationship is fake, so don't try to fool me!"

Anna looked at him coldly: "You can think whatever you’d like, it doesn't matter to me. The one who will suffer when the time comes won’t be me, anyway. Get out of the way, I'm going home!"

Bobby cowered, but then said triumphantly: "Do you think you can scare me by saying this? Let me tell you, I know all about what you do at the lord’s place!"

Anna frowned slightly and asked nonchalantly: "Lily and Renee told you?"

Bobby was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect Anna to guess, but he didn't think it was a big deal, and he simply admitted: "Yes! Lily's aunt is very talkative in front of the lord, you can’t hide things in the manor from her! Young Master Parrish won’t take interest in civilians like you. He probably doesn’t even know your name!"

How did Lily, Renee and Bobby come together?

Anna didn't even bother to listen to Bobby's words. She just didn't expect that Lily could still trouble her with this matter.

What probably happened was that after Bobby's wife died, Lily and her mother Renee forced Bobby to get married. After seeing the spread of the rumors, Bobby retreated, and Lily and the others took out the "Aunt Anna" card.

Obviously, either Lily’s Aunt Anna was too poor at asking around, or what they told Bobby was made up in the name of "Aunt Anna."

Otherwise, how could Bobby not know that she was still sending breakfast to Parrish every day? The fact of sending breakfast to Parrish didn’t explain much, but because she had contact with Parrish, it was possible for Parrish to "fancy" her. Not knowing her name was even more nonsensical.

"Didn't Lily's aunt tell you that I now deliver meals to Young Master Parrish every day?" Anna rebutted.

After the demon left Parrish's body, the latter didn't remember her anymore. But the kitchen workers didn’t know this, so they asked Anna to continue delivering the meals. On Parrish’s side, he didn’t know what happened during his possession. It didn’t matter who the kitchen sent to deliver the food, so Anna just got stuck with it.

Otherwise, if Parrish pointed her out by name and said he didn't want her to deliver his meals anymore, she, who could work in the kitchen all because of a word from Parrish, might even be fired, and others in the line wanting to work in the estate would swiftly take her place.

Bobby panicked when he heard Anna's words. His triangular eyes rolled, and he grinned grimly: "Ha, who would believe your nonsense! You just wait, you can't hide from me!"

Bobby left these arrogant words and left, and Anna also went home immediately afterwards.

Originally, the rumors that she stirred up with one hand had worked, but she didn't expect an unexpected intruder coming in halfway!

Anna had forgotten about Lily and Renee before, and she didn't expect them to be still making waves.

She couldn’t go confront the mother and daughter pair right now. When they made a fuss, they were much more than she could handle. Moreover, the most important thing about rumors was to be secretive. It was not suitable to mention it in public, as it would be easy to be exposed. She could only put their names on her revenge list first, and then return the favor in the future.

Anna silently thought about how to get revenge. She didn't have much experience before, and so it was a bit painful to think about it. But who knows that that night, her father Evan dragged his injured body home early?

When she asked, she found out that Bobby was drinking and making trouble in the tavern where Evan worked. Evan was injured from trying to stop him from destroying the tavern tables and chairs. After the chaos, someone was found lying on the ground holding their arms and groaning. He was wounded and asked Evan to pay compensation fees, and demanded the exorbitant price of a gold coin.
