Desires Die Hard

The instant Evan said that, the once lively and cheerful atmosphere in the MacMillan household immediately dissipated as if a bucket of cold water had been splashed onto them. Everyone’s expressions turned stiff and bitter as they stared at the menacing looking man.

Cornelius did not even need to think about anything as Evan’s statement startled him so much that he absolutely wanted to just hand Anya over to him.

It seemed that Evan was not someone their family could simply cross. If they did not hand Anya over to him, he would still find her. If that happened, a single word from him could cause the downfall of their family’s business.

Since Cornelius was a businessman, he naturally understood what was at stake, so he snapped out from his trance and was getting ready to reply. However, the old lady understood just what kind of a person her son was, so she replied before he could, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Mr. Welton. Anya was not part of our family for a while now, why are you asking me for her anyway?”

“Liar!” Cindy immediately snapped back at the old lady after she said that. Cindy then said, “I came over with Anya. Look, I am telling you guys to hand her over right now or else if she is actually found, well, you guys aren’t trying to cross Mr. Welton now, right?”

“How could we cross Mr. Welton. Oh Ms. Xanders you really are quite the funny person.” The old lady replied in a calm tone. She was incredibly calm when she stared at them.

It seemed that it was true that the elderly would in fact be more experienced in dealing with things.

Cornelius had nearly came clean to Evan earlier as well.

It was only after Cindy and the old lady were done talking did Evan spoke up in an extremely menacing and deep voice. Anyone would be afraid of him then as he said, “I hope that I don’t have to be forced to look for her myself, Mdm. MacMillan ”

“She’s truly not here, Mr. Welton.” The old lady replied while glancing towards him. It seemed that she dared not go against Evan.

“Since that’s the case, would you allow me to look for her then, Mdm. MacMillan? Anya happens to be an extremely important woman to me.” Evan replied while staring at the old lady like a hawk. He then continued with an extremely cold and deep voice and he obviously was a little angry at the moment, “I believe you guys are aware that anyone who even touches my woman, well, I won’t let that person go, right?”

Sydney was immediately shaken after he said that.

She felt as if she had been struck by lightning as she stared at the handsome man in disbelief. ‘He actually said that Anya is his woman?‘

Sydney was in complete disbelief since Anya happened to manipulate him before though.

However, judging from Evan’s furious expression, he did not seem like he was joking at all.

Sydney felt as if she had fallen into a deep pit while her chest hurt. She thought to herself, ‘So, Evan really likes Anya now?”

So, could this mean that she would have no hope in getting him anymore then?

Sydney was displeased as she clenched her fists before glaring intensely at Evan. She seemed to have lost control of herself a little as she yelled at him, “Anya treated you like this back then, Mr.

Welton… How could you…” Sydney was unable

to finish her statement.

The man that had been sitting on the couch the entire time felt incredibly impatient, so he snapped his fingers. It did not take long for the few bodyguards that came along with him to instantly rush into the MacMillan family home.

Evan’s gaze deepened as he ordered those bodyguards in a cold tone, “You guys have to find Anya today no matter what.”

After receiving their orders, his bodyguards immediately started searching.

Upon noticing the situation, the old lady started to panic as she said, “Mr. Welton, it’s illegal for you to search someone else’s home.”

Evan looked up and scoffed as he said, “So, hiding my woman away isn’t illegal then, Mdm. MacMillan?”

The old lady was speechless the instant he said that as her expression immediately turned pale. She then gave the man that was sitting on the couch a sharp glare as she wondered what to do.

The entire MacMillan family would no doubt be ruined if he actually found her.

However, just as

as the old lady was thinking about what to do, Evan noticed the picture on the table. He picked the picture up and took a look at it. Sydney immediately replied before he could ask anything. “Mr. Welton, my sister will be getting married soon and her husband is the man in the picture.”

“It’s impossible for you and my sister…

A loud slap could be heard the instant she said that. It seemed the old lady held back her heartache and gave her beloved granddaughter a tight slap before sternly lecturing her, “Don’t spout nonsense. What do you mean, husband? Have you not Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

heard what Mr. Welton had said?”

“Grandma, I… Sydney teared up immediately as that was the first time she was slapped by her grandmother. She immediately started crying after that while holding onto her cheeks.

“Melissa, bring her to her room to stop her from adding to this chaos.” The old lady exclaimed as she eyeballed Melissa. She understood what the old lady wanted and while she walked Sydney back to her room, she snuck into the basement to check on Anya.
