Chapter 258
When the skies were gradually getting darker, the MacMillan family mansion’s living room lights lit up.
When Sydney returned home and before she could even sit on the couch, Melissa poured a glass of fruit juice for her as she spoke in a loving tone, “Hey darling, are you tired? Come over and have some fruit juice.”
Sydney accepted the fruit juice and took a sip before unknowingly glancing at the man’s picture on the table. She frowned and thought to herself, “Isn’t that man Lance Xavier?”
Could her grandmother have the entire thing planned out for Anya already? Sydney immediately glanced towards her grandmother that was drinking tea on the couch. She placed her glass of fruit juice down then ran over to her grandmother as she said, “Is that the picture of the man you arranged for Anya, grandma?”
The old lady gave her a wide smile as she patted her hair. She then replied in a sinister tone, “Of course. Look, isn’t she extremely arrogant and is quite disrespectful to her elders? She should feel what it’s like to be tortured by someone else.”
‘So, it seems that it’s real?‘
If Anya was to marry Lance, Anya would never be able to snatch Evan away from her ever again.
Sydney’s eyes began to glimmer brightly when she thought about that. She was in an extremely delightful mood as she cracked an extremely huge smile. She said, “When will she be marrying Lance then, grandma?” She wanted nothing more than to have Anya marry that cripple Lance immediately.
She had even heard that the Xavier family had very strict rules. Any minor offences would be punished.
Would Anya be tortured by the Xavier family everyday if she was to get married into the family?
The more Sydney thought about it, the more excited she became. She absolutely loved to see Anya being tortured severely. Who told her to look more beautiful than her then?
Who told her to get more attention from guys than her?
“The day after tomorrow.” The old lady replied. She then continued in a loving tone, “The Xaviers told me yesterday that Anya and Lance would be able to get their marriage license the day after tomorrow from the civil affairs department.”
The day after tomorrow would be quite fast but what if Anya refused?
Sydney told her grandmother in a worried tone, “Grandma, would Anya even agree though? I really hope that she would marry him immediately or else she would snatch my Evan away from me.”
“Oh grandma, you don’t wish to see that woman who cursed you to snatch away such a capable and wealthy man from us,
right?”
“Don’t worry, I have a way to make her agree to everything. The old man replied. It seemed that she had always been quite confident in doing things herself, or else, she would not trick Anya back home.
“What would that be then?” Sydney asked as she was curious. She was staring at the old lady while blinking her huge eyes.
However, before the old lady could answer, Melissa replied in a similar loving tone, “Oh Sydney, you’ll see when the time comes. You don’t have to worry about this, just leave this matter to your grandmother and I.”Property © of Nôdaisynovel.com.

Sydney simply replied, “Okay.”
“Why don’t you go ahead and take a shower first, darling? We’ll have dinner soon.” Melissa continued.
Sydney nodded and went upstairs to take a shower in a delightful mood.
Anya on the other hand was starting to wake up after being unconscious in the basement for an hour. When she woke up, she continued to pry that board open while ignoring her dazed state.
If she w
able to escape then, she would no doubt inform the authorities about it.
She did not want to show them mercy anymore.
They had never once treated her as part of their family anyway, so she had no reason to show them mercy as well.
Anya pushed past her headache after losing conscious as she continued prying the board open with her nails.
She continued even after her fingers were bleeding as she had to get out.
While Anya was trying to save herself, Evan arrived at the MacMillan family mansion. This was the first time he came over using his status to look for Anya.
This basically meant that he was officially announcing to the world that Anya was his woma
