Chapter 173

The food served at the Italian restaurant was as fancy as the establishment’s décor.

Anya wasn’t particularly impressed though. She simply ate quietly, Evan didn’t try to lure her into talking about her kids on they dined.

In fact, he began talking about work.

He was interested in expanding JK Couture and bringing it to the international market. The young man looked forward to more collaborations between JK Couture and International designers and Intended to establish JK Couture an on International brand.

Anya’s superior, Jake, was aware of Evan’s plans for the company too.

But Anya was still serving her probation. She was not aware of the plans that her bosses had for the company.

Yet, here was Evan sharing these plans with her, a lowly designer.

His intentions were as stark as day. He wanted her to remain in JK Couture and continue her work as a designer.

If she did that, she might have a chance to becan internationally renowned designer.

But how could she?

She felt trapped. It was as if danger lurked at every corner.

She had to admit it though. JK Couture was a promising design agency. If she were not stuck in her current predicament, she wouldn’t even consider the option of quitting.

But she was in real danger of losing Nathaniel and Eudora. She simply couldn’t stay any longer.

Anya wasn’t going to tell Evan that, of course. She simply played the role of a diligent listener dutifully and nodded every now and then.

Evan didn’t delve further into the subject. They returned to Welton Group Tower after they were done with lunch.

Once they got back to the office, Anya headed back to her desk. She thought about what Evan had told her about his ambitions for JK Couture during lunch. She didn’t spend too much ton it though.

Instead, she pinched the bridge of her nose slightly before planting her face onto the desk. She was going to take a nap.

After her nap, she had to make a trip to the factory. There was a bridal gown that needed to be made and a tailor she had to speak to.

While Anya was busy napping, Sydney was busy with something else. She had not seen Anya the entire morning and that infuriated the young woman.

She had no idea what was going on between Anya and Evan at all.

If Anya had truly hooked up with Evan, Sydney would be an idiot to harass her stepsister further and incur the latter’s wrath.

But she wasn’t sure. She didn’t know what to do. After sthought, she decided to head home.

The MacMillans had just eaten lunch when Sydney arrived.

Mdm MacMillan was sitting in the living room watching a daytsoap opera. Sydney’s mother, Melissa, was peeling oranges for her mother–in–law.

Unlike Anya, Melissa knew how to earn an old lady’s favor.

She knew how to get the old lady on her side. After Anya had been driven out of the MacMillan family, Melissa had continued her lies, telling the old lady that Anya’s mother had had an affair and had cursed the old lady before her death.

She had planted false evidence to convince the old lady of her deception.

She had hidden voodoo dolls in the room that Anya’s mother had lived in. Nailed to the dolls were curses. Mdm

MacMillan’s nhad been written on all of them.

Mdm MacMillan was an extremely superstitious woman. She had fallen for the deception, hook, line and sinker. That was why the old lady had detested Anya so much.

No one could love a daughter–in–law who had wanted her dead. No one could love such a woman’s daughter as well, when the latter had loose morals and slept around.

Sydney got out the car that had stopped outside the MacMillan’s mansion. She marched into the house and walked right up to Mdm MacMillan.

She didn’t take a seat on the couch. Instead, she fell to her knees and started sobbing. “Granny! You have to help me….. Anya’s been picking on me!”

“What happened?” The old woman’s heart broke when she saw the sight of her granddaughter wailing. She reached out and pulled Sydney to her feet. “Con, Sydney, my precious darling, stop crying and tell your granny what happened.”

“Granny! Anya’s trying to steal Evan from me. Everyone in the family knows that I’m in love with Evan…. I didn’t say a word when Anya tried to steal Evan froma year ago. But this time, it’s different. She tried to threaten me! She said that she was going to driveout of Welton Group!” Sydney sat down on the couch next to Mdm MacMillan. Tears streamed down her cheeks ceaselessly

It was a great performance. Melissa couldn’t help but marvel at how wonderful an actress her daughter was.

“What?” Mdm MacMillan couldn’t believe her ears. She slammed her fist heavily onto the couch. “How dare she! Does she know what she’s doing?”
