Desires Die Hard

With Anya safely home, the situation at the MacMillans was clouded with angst and fear.

Melissa stomped into Sydney’s room in rage. After she shut the door, she gritted her teeth, “Sydney, Anya, that little wretch she is really with Evan.”

This wretch had a thing up her sleeve and she even managed to get this close to Evan. Melissa went red with anger every time she recalled about the situation earlier. She would not let her remain arrogant for long.

“Mom, what did you just say?” Sydney had been grounded in her room, frustrated as she had no idea what happened downstairs. Moments after, she saw the band aid on her mother’s finger. Sydney quickly went over to her mother and held her hand to have a closer look. “Mom, what happened to your finger? Why is there a band aid around it?”

Melissa looked down at her finger. Her anger rose to another peak. She gritted her teeth and said, “It was all the wretch’s doing!”

“Anya? What did she do to you?” Sydney’s expression stiffened as she asked her mother.

Melissa scoffed and replied, “She was arrogant because she had Evan as her backer. She took advantage of Evan’s influence and requested me to cut my own finger.” Melissa lied as she started weeping pitifully. “Oh Sydney, we can’t swallow this down like that. If she really gets married to Evan one day, we will all be doomed!”

Married into the Welton family? Was she even qualified? Sydney’s jealousy and anger exploded from within. There was no way she would allow that to happen. Definitely not in this lifetime. Now that Anya got her mom wounded, Sydney could not let things be. She had always been very close to her mom.

Sydney could almost spit fire out of her eyes. She reached over to hug her mother. “Mom, don’t cry. How could she injure you? I will not let her off easily.”

“I know. But now that she has Evan as her backer, how can we deal with her?” Had she not been close to Evan, they could have easily silenced her. But now with Evan’s involvement, it would not be easy to even get close to her.

“Don’t worry. We can think of something together.” Sydney patted gently on her mother’s back and comforted her. “Mom, it is okay. It is not possible for her to get married to Evan. Evan is just toying with her feelings. When he gets bored of Anya, he will ditch her eventually.”

Sydney knew the affluent people’s way of doing things. Not every case of ugly duckling would turn into a beautiful swan. Anya was just not qualified enough.

Melissa acknowledged with a nod. She stopped her weeping and said, “This wretch got lucky today. Looks like we can’t force her to marry Lance anymore.”

“Mother, there will be a way we can still get Anya to marry Lance. We just need to think of ways to turn the relationship between Anya and Evan sour. That should do the trick!” Sydney smirked as she said coldly.

“Right! She can’t be taking all the advantage.” Melissa wiped her tears and said, “A man like Mr. Welton would not be able to accept someone from the lower class like Anya.”

“Yup.” Sydney nodded. Her eyes glistened as she got excited about their new direction. She was just like a venomous snake gliding out of its hole and waiting for its prey to come along. “We just need to think of ways to get her in bed with someone else.”

“I’ll handle this matter. Leave it to me.” Melissa did not want her precious daughter to have her hands tainted by doing such

a thing. “Sydney, you just need to focus on getting Evan’s attention. We cannot let the wretch have things her way.”

Speaking of which, Sydney felt sullen. It was a difficult task for any woman to get close to him. Every time Sydney had plans to be around him, she would be stopped by his assistant and bodyguards. She had been bitter about this.

“Evan does not like women he is not familiar with to come close to him,” Sydney heaved a sigh.

“Then, think of something!” Melissa said. “When it comes to men, they are all the same. They go after lust. Even if Anya is with Evan now, she may be ditched in a few days after Evan gets bored of her. You will still have a chance then.”

Sydney bit her lips as she was still annoyed. “The more I think about her getting intimate with Evan, the more revolted I become NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“This is nothing. Think about Evan’s fortune. That would be enough for us to spend for the rest of our lives! And you know your dad’s company is having a crisis. Work hard on Evan!” Melissa reasoned

Sydney agreed with her mother. Evan was wealthy and good looking. It did not matter if he had other women. She would still want him.
