Let Me Stay The Night

Azure’s expression clouded over as she remarked sternly. “Anya. I know this may be hard for you to accept at the moment, but Christina is part of the Gibson family. She’s my granddaughter, and this is an indisputable fact.”

Having been lectured by her headstrong grandmother, Anya dared not retaliate.

I’ll just go along with her for now. So what if Christina ends up being part of the household? I have my ways to kick her out.

With that in mind, she concealed the displeasure on her face and put on a well-behaved demeanor. “You’re right, Grandma. I’ll be sure to get along with Christina.”

Hearing that, Azure nodded in satisfaction. “I’m glad you understand where I’m coming from. Be nice to each other.”

“Anything you say!” Anya replied cutely, placing her head on the elderly woman’s shoulder.

Azure’s birthday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Christina put on a stunning gown that was tailored to fit her perfectly, and it had a slit that revealed her slender legs. With the dress and a pair of heels on, she looked like a princess from a fairy tale,

The woman grabbed the present she had prepared, left her office, and headed straight to Azure’s mansion by car.

Guests had filled the entire front yard by the time she arrived, and the place was filled with sounds of chattering and laughter. Even so, everyone’s gazes fell on Christina as soon as she walked in.

Anya, who was in the middle of talking to her friends, instantly looked grim as she saw the woman.

She’s actually wearing the latest high-end gown and limited edition heels? Everything she has on costs more than what I’m wearing! Why is she dressed as if she’s the host? She’s just a guest!

“Christina Steele? What is she doing here?” Elizabeth thought she was seeing things.

“You know her?” Anya asked in return, not mentioning Christina’s true identity.

“I don’t just know her. I despise her.” Elizabeth stated matter-of-factly.

“What a coincidence! I hate her too.” A smirk crept across Anya’s face. The mere thought of Christina embarrassing her made her blood boil.

Then, she leaned into Elizabeth’s car. “How about we think of a way to mess with her?”
