Desires Die Hard

Chapter 174

“She did. She threatened me.” Sydney bit her lips and sobbed harder. She tried her best to squeeze out a few more tears and look as if she had been picked on by her stepsister. “Granny, you have no idea how obnoxious she is! She’s seducing every man in her sight. In fact, she’s throwing herself at Evan. She thinks that if she gets Evan on her side, she’ll be able to push us around.”

“She cursed you. She said that she hopes you die and go to hell!” Sydney said viciously as she eyed the look on her grandmother’s face deliberately.

As soon as she spat out those vicious words, the old lady lost her cool. The latter tightened her fingers into angry fists. Her face darkened with fury. You could almost feel the storm clouds gather above her head and sense the fast approach of a furious thunderstorm. Mdm MacMillan’s eyes burned with anger.

The old lady shook with rage. She had fallen for Sydney’s lies completely. “How dare she! I won’t let her push our family around. Let her try! I’ll stop her even if it kills me!”

She can still remember the voodoo dolls that they had found in the room of Anya’s late mother.

She truly believed that the dolls were imbued with dark magic.

If the curse of Anya’s late mother worked, it meant that the old lady was going to go to hell after she died. She was going to be barred from entering heaven.

Mdm MacMillan was a deeply religious person. She couldn’t bear the thought of being sent to hell.
