Desires Die Hard

Chapter 189

Honestly, after venting her rage at her son, Mdm MacMillan wasn’t that mad anymore. But she blew up again when he

brought up Anya. The old woman started yelling at her son again, “How dare you! Are you on her side?”

“Do you

know what she did to me? She thinks she can get away with anything!”

“I know,” Cornelius said. “That’s why I think we should leave her alone. Pretend she’s not your granddaughter.

“Silence!” The old lady gritted her teeth angrily. “Look at how your daughter turned out! She nearly destroyed our fanity’s reputation. Now, she’s trying to steal the man that Sydney loves from her. How can I stand by and not do anything?”

Cornelius froze. He had no idea that Anya was trying to seduce Evan. The little sympathy he had for his eldest daughter vanished without a trace. He would always take Sydney’s side. “Is that true, Morn?”

“Why would I lie to you? She’s trying to steal Evan from Sydney. Maybe it’s her way of getting back at us. I won’t let her have her way,” the old lady spat out viciously.

“Okay,” Cornelius said. This concerned Sydney’s happiness. He wasn’t going to get in the way of that. “Mom, do whatever you think is right.”

The old woman’s eyes shone brightly with venom. “I’ll make her suffer for what she did. She’s going to find out the consequences of disrespecting her elders!”

Meanwhile, outside Kaiser.

Evan had collected the keys to his car. He was going to pay a visit to Ellie’s apartment and see Eudora and Nathaniel.

Before he drove away from the restaurant, he called Hayden. Hayden was to come to the restaurant right now and wait outside. If Jamie didn’t give Anya a lift home after dinner, Hayden was to send Anya home.

Having instructed Hayden on what to do, Evan started the car and made his way toward Anya’s apartment.
