Let Me Stay The Night

That is a secret that I must keep under wraps! How did she know that I….

Suddenly, hints of wariness flashed across Anya’s eyes as she fixated her gaze on Azure. She feigned innocence and asked, “Grandma, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Since the two had completely fallen out, Azure snorted. “Don’t think you can hide those despicable and underhanded things you did from me. I have fully investigated the kidnapping drama you orchestrated last time. If I want to pursue this matter further, what you have done is considered a fraud!”

Anya was a typical egoist. Once her interests were jeopardized, she wouldn’t show mercy to the other party, whether they were her blood relatives or saviors.

Anya put on a calm pretense. “Grandma, did Christina tell you that? That despicable woman is clearly up to no good. She’s sowing discord in the Gibson family and hopes to incite internal strife. You mustn’t fall for her scheme.”

Anya had spent all the money given out by the Gibson family. Even if Azure could present evidence to prove her guilt, Anya wouldn’t return the money she had swindled.

Azure had finally seen Anya’s and Macy’s true colors. She didn’t expect them to get back on the right path either. At that moment, they needed to establish a mutually beneficial relationship to snatch the Gibson family back from Christina.

“Anya, let’s leave the past behind us. I’m just going to cut to the chase. You’re also well aware of our situation. If we continue to be at each other’s throats, none of us will gain any benefit.”

Azure’s facial expression changed entirely as if her outburst and the ferocity she had displayed earlier were nonexistent.

“Christina wants to put your dad behind bars. If her plan succeeds, that will greatly besmirch our family’s reputation. Your wish of marrying into a wealthy family will forever remain a dream.”

Azure’s words struck Anya to the core.
