Desires Die Hard

at they put he “If anything happens to your aunt, I will let those people who harm her suffer a hundred times more than what they through.” Evan gave his words to Anya in a serious tone.

The commanding tone and the overall aura coming from Evan sent chills down Mdm MacMillan, Melissa and Cornelius‘ spines, and made them very uneasy. Evan was known in Nordeny for his reputation of being relentless.

“Mr. Welton, it is all a misunderstanding. We are not the kind of people who use brutal force to solve issues.” Mdm MacMillan gave a forced smile to Evan, suppressing her anger and fear towards him.

“Mdm MacMillan, if that is the case, that would be great. Anya is my woman and I hope she does not get hurt or compromised in any way.” Evan stared coldly at them. His tone was forceful and intimidating as he proclaimed his relationship with Anya officially at the MacMillans.

It made Anya a little awkward and flushed. Even Cindy looked away shyly at Evan’s direct exclamation. Cindy thought, while Evan was not personable, he seemed to know the best way to protect the woman he loved. It was a pity though, there was no way Anya would agree to be together with him, taking into consideration her two young kids. Evan would never marry Anya if he knew the truth.

and protective towards the woman he loved. But because of the various reasons, she could not reciprocate no matter how touched and grateful she was to him.

This was in line with what Anya had in mind. Although Evan had his shortcomings, he was a

Mdm MacMillan was extremely furious about how Evan was covering for Anya that he even declared war with anyone who would be of threat to Anya. She had to suppress her angst deep inside her and forced a smile as she said, “We understand, Mr. Welton.”

peered briefly at each of them, and it felt to him that their sincerity was lacking. “Her hand is injured. I’m sure would know what to do, ya?” The man said unhurriedly but every word was unrelenting. Mdm MacMillan and Cornelius were startled and did not dare to utter a word.

“Are you all waiting for me to do it myself? If I am to do it, someone would end up having wounds more than just some bleeding from the fingers,” Evan asserted.

Melissa went pale with horror as she looked towards her husband. Cornelius was a coward who began to inch away from her. He did not dare to retaliate at all. He avoided eye contact with Melissa completely as she sent signals of plea through her eyes.

“Looks like I really have to get this done myself,” Evan retorted as he flexed his fingers.

Melissa bit her lips and stared at Anya. She had to let go off her pride and suffer the consequences herself. It would be unfilial to let Mdm MacMillan endure the pain.

Melissa picked up a small fruit knife from the coffee table. She took a deep breath before slitting her finger with the knife and her index finger started bleeding. She put down the knife and asked, “Mr. Welton, Ms. MacMillan, are you satisfied with my punishment?”

Anya looked at her coldly. There was no satisfaction to begin with. This was nothing as compared to what they did to her

mother.

Anya remained silent. Evan turned and looked at her, “Anya, if they bully you in future again, retaliate. You are my woman.

My woman should be relentless when you are being stepped over. Never let anyone climb over you. Got it?”

Once again, his warm and protective gaze got her into a frenzy inside.

The forbidden emotion that was once caged had exploded yet again. She immediately pulled herself back as she knew this feeling should not go on any longer. She had to consider her two kids. But in this situation, she could only play along for the safety of her aunt. “Understood. I will try in future.”

“Let’s go.” Evan was pleased with her abiding reply. He smiled as he took her hand and walked out the main door. Cindy followed closely behind them.

After they left, Mdm MacMillan could not take Evan’s revenge and her daughter–in–law’s injury anymore. She had to vent it out on something. She bent over and picked up the coffee cup on the table and smashed it on the marble floor. The cup shattered into pieces.

Mdm MacMillan looked at the glass pieces on the floor and still, she was not appeased. She gritted her teeth and hissed, “That wretch got so close to Evan. Some capabilities she has there! Indeed, she inherited her loose mother’s ability in seducing men.”

Melissa walked over to Mdm MacMillan while avoiding the shattered pieces on the floor. She said tearfully as she pressed on her wound to stop the bleeding, “Mother, what should we do? That

wretched Anya has such a strong backer. Does this mean we have to let her off the hook from now on?”

“What about our Sydney? Sydney had gotten into some heated arguments with Anya previously. Anya can take revenge on Sydney if she suddenly decides to. Mother… you have got to help your poor granddaughter!” Melissa howled pitifully.

Mdm MacMillan thought of her granddaughter and then looked at the wound on Melissa’s hand. She could not bear the thought of what could happen to Sydney. “What is the big deal about her getting into the good books of Evan Welton? She really thinks that she could get into the Welton family just like that?”

“But mother, she could still act arrogant meanwhile, Melissa sobbed.

“Stop crying. I’ll think of a solution.” Mdm MacMillan looked at the night view through the door. She would get even with Anya for sure
