Desires Die Hard

Chapter 699 Clarify

Franklin stared at Anya and Gina surrounded by cameras. His eyes were blazing with fury.

Gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, he intended to stand up and roar at Anya.

Sensing that he was getting up, Ansley, who sat next to him, pressed down his hand to stop him in time. "Dad, you're not her match. Don't act on impulse."

Although Ansley was a few months younger than Sydney, she was a better judge of character.

That was why she told her father to cool down calmly.

Franklin found it hard to suppress his anger and said, "We both know that Melissa died a miserable death because of her. How can I possibly cool down?"

"But if you growl at her, the press will perceive you as reckless. Let's see what her purpose is of being here today," Ansley continued.

She turned her pretty face and looked at Anya subconsciously.

She thought, I have heard about Anya MacMillan a lot because Sydney used to talk about her with me on Line.

She hates everything about her.

And now, she was way more successful than Sydney. She married Evan and became a member of the Welton family that everyone admires.

Sydney, however, became a prisoner. I feel sad and angry for her.

Anya has gone too far.

Sydney's whole family has been destroyed.

I will avenge her imprisonment on Anya.

Ansley looked at Anya nonchalantly and made up her mind to enter the Welton Group.

She studied business administration at Norvore University in Selolia and just graduated this year. With such an excellent educational background, it would be a piece of cake for her to get into the Welton Group.

Since Anya robbed everything from Sydney, she was going to steal her husband.

She had the confidence to win Evan's heart.

Anya and Gina walked in Franklin's direction and stopped near their table. Anya shot Franklin an icy glance and said, "Mr. Campbell, you said that you have evidence. Why don't you show it to us?"

Franklin wanted to do it a long time ago. His eyes were cold, and his mouth twisted in a contemptuous sneer. "How shameless you are, Mrs. Welton."

He didn't expect her to be so shameless that she even could confront the evidence of her abusing Melissa.

After uttering the words, Franklin took out the recording pen and played it. The recording had been processed by the Campbells, leaving only the sound of Anya whipping Melissa.

Melissa's sound had been erased.

This incoherent recording made it sound like Anya did the wrong thing.

However, there was something wrong with the recording if the one listened carefully.

Anya said in the recording that there was a reason behind each whip.

What about Melissa?

Why didn't she say anything?

She should at least scream even if she had lost her mind. But not a single sound of her could be heard in the recording.

The journalists were not idiots. They also found the recording weird, which was another reason why they didn't criticize Anya besides the fear of offending her.

They dared not jump to a conclusion.

"Friends from the press, you guys all heard it. This is the evidence!" Seeing that people were whispering, Franklin thought they were on his side, so he looked confident.

Melissa's parents couldn't help cursing Anya hysterically when they saw her showed up. "How dare you come here? My daughter is dead because of you. How can you square this with your conscience?"

"Yes. What a vicious woman! Aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night?"

Anya despised them from the bottom of her heart. She thought, Family education determines a person's personality.

Born in such a family, no wonder Melissa is so evil.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Like a parent, like a child.

Anya replied blandly, "I didn't do anything guilty. Of course, I can face my conscience. Besides, I didn't come here to watch you put on an act today. The rumors you spread online about me abusing Ms. Campbell have affected me and the Welton Group seriously. I have to clarify the matter here."

The moment Anya finished her words, Franklin snarled at her, "Are you kidding me? What do you want to clarify? A fact is a fact."

"It was you who caused the death of my sister and your stepmother, Melissa."
