Chapter 746 Be Mindful of Your Words
Annie sounded nothing like a child. She sounded like she was possessed.
Wynter’s gaze darkened. That girl was the reincarnation of a mighty figure in her previous life. She should have a bright future ahead of her. So, why was she here in such a state?
The crowd quickly surrounded them to help Margot. Someone pleaded to the clergyman, “Sir, please. allow Mr. Edore to take a look at her.”
The clergyman said a short prayer.
Then, he said, “Mr. Edore is preparing a class now. My brothers and sisters, you all can pray for her salvation outside the hall.
“If nothing happens and she remains the same, it means she is no longer blessed by the gods above. She should pay for the sins of her previous life. Please do not make things harder for our priest.”
Then, the clergyman folded his hands together and closed the wooden doors.
Although it seemed like he was offering Annie salvation, he was just letting her fend for herself.
Margot began to cry. “My granddaughter is a kind soul. Her parents are useless, but she visits me every day, saying she wants to take care of me when she’s older.
“She’s one of the top scorers in the county. How could she be a sinner in her past life?
“Sir, I beg you to open the door. Even if she is somehow a sinner, let me be the one to pay the price of her debt.
“Whenever she has food, she would always keep some for me. How can such a child be evil?”
Margot was not well–educated and could only repeat the same words over and over again.
The crowd looked at her and exclaimed, “The clergyman just said that she’s paying for the sins of her previous life.
“Your granddaughter must have been an evil person before she reincarnated. There’s nothing the chapel can do, either.”
Margot shook her head. “She’s not evil! My granddaughter is not evil!”
Nothing felt worse than hearing other people trample on someone they hold dear to them.
Margot wanted nothing more but to show the crowd all of Annie’s achievements to prove how talented Annie was. But she couldn’t do anything. No one in the crowd believed her.
It was all because that clergyman had said Annie was paying for the sins of her past life.
Margot began to stutter and became so emotional that her breaths became labored.
Annie seemed to have come to her senses momentarily and reached out her hand. “Grandma, don’t cry. You’re still sick.”
Margot Immediately burst into tears as if she was a child. How could her granddaughter be an evil,
person?
“G–Grandma, let’s go home. No one’s fed Cosmo yet.” It was as If Annie was fighting for control with something over her body as her words became slurred.
The crowd couldn’t help but sympathize with Annie after hearing what she had just said.
However, the clergyman had already told them the problem behind her situation. They couldn’t do anything to help her.
“Ma’am, why don’t you take her to the main prayer hall for a prayer? She might get better.”
Someone else suggested, “Perhaps she should do some good deeds. After all, she was a sinner in her previous life.”
