That was when Chris‘ wife recognized her as Anya. “It’s you, Miss Anya!”
She had met Miss Anya at the police station that day, and she had a very strong impression of Anya after her husband spoke about Anya to her.
Chris’s wife was very polite. “Please sit down, ma’am. I’ll get you a glass of water!”
Anya looked at the simple sofa in this puny house and had a look of disgust in her eye. She smiled contemptuously and said, “I won’t bother. I’ll be leaving soon anyway.”
Her arrogance left Chris‘ wife feeling a little awkward and unsure of what to do.
Anya went straight to business and opened the black suitcase in her hand. She then put it on the table and cut to the chase, saying, “Tell your man to keep his lips sealed, and I guarantee that he’ll be released soon. Once that’s done, you and your family will move out of the city. This money is more than enough for your family of three to live worry–free for the rest of your lives.”
Chris‘ wife’s eyes widened when she saw the money. “Don’t worry, Miss Anya. My husband secretly told me everything when I visited him at the station today, and we understand the rules very clearly!”
“Glad to hear that,” Anya sneered in disdain, left the suitcase behind, and turned around to leave.
After she walked out and returned to her car, she sprayed herself with disinfectant. The slum–like neighborhood was such a filthy mess that she felt sick with every step she took. Had she not needed to deliver the hush money, she would not have stooped so low as to visit a place far outside the city where poor people lived!
Since there were transaction records with every bank transfer, she was worried that someone might trace it to her in the future. Everything that happened was her design, and Rosie simply became her scapegoat without knowing it.
It all started when she rushed back to the country to give Jeremy a surprise at Lunar Century Manor. However, Jeremy left her behind and ran to look for Corinne. She then chased after him, but rather than finding him, she happened to run into Corinne alone on the shore of Yonder River.
She heard about Corinne’s marriage to the Holdens when she was abroad and felt a sense of crisis brewing in her heart. As a result, she came up with a plan to use the man who distributed leaflets to set Corinne up.
To her surprise, Corinne was able to ruin that plan.
Anya, however, was a woman so meticulous that she came prepared for any eventualities. She had given Chris many hypothetical scenarios and showed her Rosie’s photo.
She instructed Chris to testify on the spot that Rosie was the instigator if either the original plan failed or something untoward happened. Doing so would not affect the benefits he would get in the end. If he did not do as told, he would get nothing, and his family would be caught in the crossfire as well.
It was very unfortunate that Rosie–her best friend who was always loyal to her–had to be sacrificed. With Rosie’s removal from the picture, there was one less person for Anya to manipulate.
At that time, Anya’s cell phone rang suddenly, and she saw that it was from her brother Lucas.
Anya answered the phone meekly, “Lucas?”
Lucas‘ stern, concerned voice was heard saying, “Dinner’s ready, Anya. Grand and Grandma are here too, and Mom and Dad are waiting for you so we can all have a reunion dinner together. Where did you
go this time?”
“I just came back to the country, and a couple of friends that I haven’t seen for a long time insisted on asking me out for a meal. I’d feel bad to refuse them…which is why I accepted their invitation.
“Don’t worry, Lucas, they’re all girls, so they won’t bully me!
“… Yes, Lucas. I’ll be home soon.‘
Anya then tossed the phone coldly to the front passenger seat after hanging up. Then, she took out a cigarette case, skillfully lit a cigarette, and expertly struck a posture as she began smoking. It was completely different from her usual docile demeanor.
She looked at the time and had a confident grin on the corner of her lips. By her estimation, Corinne would have gotten a bad name on the Internet.
It did not matter that Corinne had foiled her earlier plan, as she still had many other ways of dealing with Corinne.
On that occasion, success would be hers simply by making sure that Corinne’s reputation was ruined. Even if Jeremy had feelings for Corinne, the Holdens‘ elders would never want someone with questionable character and a myriad of scandals to be his wife. Corinne’s days at the Holdens were numbered!
‘How dare a village girl rob me of my man? She doesn’t deserve him!‘
