Desires Die Hard

“So… what happened to you and my mom at that time?” Anya knew that something happened once she saw how furious Cornelius was. She didn’t back off at all.

It was hard to enrage someone so indifferent like Cornelius. He would only be mad when he was downright irritated.

Now a single photo set him off.

Therefore, there must be something unusual about the photo.

“What can happen to me and your mother? It’s you who cause trouble for me every day. Now you even send me into prison, you heartless monster,” Cornelius said viciously.

Anya looked at him, “I will consider withdrawing my lawsuit and bailing you out if you tell me all about it.”

Cornelius didn’t seem to care at all. He said in contempt, “Save the trouble. I’m alright here by myself. Besides, I can get out of here soon.

“Leave now.”

He said before he turned to leave with the prison guards..

The door of the reception room was suddenly opened. Evan came in with the warden. Anya was stunned for a moment when she saw them coming in. She then asked, “Why are you here?”

“I worry about you,” Evan said. He whispered to the warden for a while. The warden nodded and went out.

Evan walked to Anya slowly and sat on the chair beside her. He then said to Cornelius over there, “Mr. MacMillan, please sit down.” He refused to take Cornelius as his father–in–law once this man hit Anya.

He never called Cornelius his father.

Cornelius glanced at Evan.

i was not

willing to talk with them at all. He said with a grim look, “Mr. Welton, I

believe that we have nothing to say to each other.”

“I won’t be so sure. We have a lot to discuss,” Evan said slowly and confidently.

He said this with composure. Anya couldn’t help asking him in a low voice, “Do you know that I’m looking into this matter?” One couldn’t hide anything from a man as clever as Evan.

Evan didn’t deny it. He looked at her and said, “I’ll fix it for you.”

Anya shook her head, “This is something about my mother. I want to do it by myself.” She couldn’t rely on Evan forever, after all.

“How about I help you with it? Your father won’t tell you anything like that.” Evan knew Cornelius well.

He hid these things because he didn’t want others to know about them.

He wouldn’t tell anything unless you use bait.

Anya thought in silence. Her father didn’t want to tell her anything so she must turn to Evan for help.

“Well, alright,” Anya said. She admitted that she needed Evan after all.

Evan turned to look at Cornelius and said slowly, “Mr. MacMillan, you can choose not to tell us the truth. In return, we can choose to chase the MacMillans out of Nordeny.”

Cornelius raised his eyebrows nervously upon hearing this, “What do you mean, Mr. Welton?”

“You know very well about what I mean. I wish that you will talk openly with us. Anya may bail you out just like she said before,” Evan continued.

Cornelius paled instantly. He thought,

“Let’s talk, Mr. MacMillan.” Evan tapped the table with his knuckles and asked Cornelius to sit down.

Cornelius sat down grimly after careful consideration.

He can’t let Mdm MacMillan leave Nordeny.
