Desires Die Hard

Chapter 266

With Anya safely home, the situation at the MacMillans was clouded with angst and fear.

Melissa stomped into Sydney’s room in rage. After she shut the door, she gritted her teeth, “Sydney, Anya, that little wretch she is really with Evan.”

This wretch had a thing up her sleeve and she even managed to get this close to Evan. Melissa went red with anger every time she recalled about the situation earlier. She would not let her remain arrogant for long.

“Mom, what did you just say?” Sydney had been grounded in her room, frustrated as she had no idea what happened downstairs. Moments after, she saw the band aid on her mother’s finger. Sydney quickly went over to her mother and held her hand to have a closer look. “Mom, what happened to your finger? Why is there a band aid around it?”

Melissa looked down at her finger. Her anger rose to another peak. She gritted her teeth and said, “It was all the wretch’s doing!”

“Anya? What did she do to you?” Sydney’s expression stiffened as she asked her mother.

Melissa scoffed and replied, “She was arrogant because she had Evan as her backer. She took advantage of Evan’s influence and requested me to cut my own finger.” Melissa lied as she started weeping pitifully. “Oh Sydney, we can’t swallow this down like that. If she really gets married to Evan one day, we will all be doomed!”

Was she even qualified? Sydney’s jealousy and anger exploded from within. There was no way she would allow that to happen. Definitely not in this lifetime. Now that Anya got her mom wounded, Sydney could not let things be. She had always been very close to her mom. Sydney could almost spit fire out of her eyes. She reached over to hug her mother. “Mom, don’t cry. How could she injure you? I will not let

Sydney felt sullen. It was a difficult task for any woman to get close to him. Every time Sydney had plans to be around him,
