at they put he “If anything happens to your aunt, I will let those people who harm her suffer a hundred


    times more than what they through.” Evan gave his words to Anya in a serious tone.


    Themanding tone and the overall auraing from Evan sent chills down Mdm MacMin,


    Melissa and Cornelius‘ spines, and made them very uneasy. Evan was known in Nordeny for his


    reputation of being relentless.


    “Mr. Welton, it is all a misunderstanding. We are not the kind of people who use brutal force to solve


    issues.” Mdm MacMin gave a forced smile to Evan, suppressing her anger and fear towards him.


    “Mdm MacMin, if that is the case, that would be great. Anya is my woman and I hope she does not


    get hurt orpromised in any way.” Evan stared coldly at them. His tone was forceful and intimidating


    as he proimed his rtionship with Anya officially at the MacMins.


    It made Anya a little awkward and flushed. Even Cindy looked away shyly at Evan’s direct exmation.


    Cindy thought, while Evan was not personable, he seemed to know the best way to protect the woman


    he loved. It was a pity though, there was no way Anya would agree to be together with him, taking into


    consideration her two young kids. Evan would never marry Anya if he knew the truth.


    and protective towards the woman he loved. But because of the various reasons, she could not


    reciprocate no matter how touched and grateful she was to him.


    This was in line with what Anya had in mind. Although Evan had his shorings, he was a


    Mdm MacMin was extremely furious about how Evan was covering for Anya that he even dered


    war with anyone who would be of threat to Anya. She had to suppress her angst deep inside her and


    forced a smile as she said, “We understand, Mr. Welton.”


    Evan

    peered briefly at each of them, and it felt to him that their sincerity wascking. “Her hand is injured. I’m


    sure would know what to do, ya?” The man said unhurriedly but every word was unrelenting. Mdm


    MacMin and Cornelius were startled and did not dare to utter a word.


    “Are you all waiting for me to do it myself? If I am to do it, someone would end up having wounds more


    than just some bleeding from the fingers,” Evan asserted.


    Melissa went pale with horror as she looked towards her husband. Cornelius was a coward who began


    to inch away from her. He did not dare to retaliate at all. He avoided eye contact with Melissa


    completely as she sent signals of plea through her eyes.


    “Looks like I really have to get this done myself,” Evan retorted as he flexed his fingers.


    Melissa bit her lips and stared at Anya. She had to let go off her pride and suffer the consequences


    herself. It would be unfilial to let Mdm MacMin endure the pain.


    Melissa picked up a small fruit knife from the coffee table. She took a deep breath before slitting her


    finger with the knife and her index finger started bleeding. She put down the knife and asked, “Mr.


    Welton, Ms. MacMin, are you satisfied with my punishment?”

    Anya looked at her coldly. There was no satisfaction to begin with. This was nothing aspared to


    what they did to her


    mother.


    Anya remained silent. Evan turned and looked at her, “Anya, if they bully you in future again, retaliate.


    You are my woman.

    My woman should be relentless when you are being stepped over. Never let anyone climb over you.


    Got it?”


    Once again, his warm and protective gaze got her into a frenzy inside.


    The forbidden emotion that was once caged had exploded yet again. She immediately pulled herself


    back as she knew this feeling should not go on any longer. She had to consider her two kids. But in this


    situation, she could only y along for the safety of her aunt. “Understood. I will try in future.”


    “Let’s go.” Evan was pleased with her abiding reply. He smiled as he took her hand and walked out the


    main door. Cindy followed closely behind them.


    After they left, Mdm MacMin could not take Evan’s revenge and her daughter–inw’s injury


    anymore. She had to vent it out on something. She bent over and picked up the coffee cup on the table


    and smashed it on the marble floor. The cup shattered into pieces.


    in


    Mdm MacMin looked at the ss pieces on the floor and still, she was not appeased. She gritted her


    teeth and hissed, “That wretch got so close to Evan. Some capabilities she has there! Indeed, she


    inherited her loose mother’s ability in seducing men.”


    Melissa walked over to Mdm MacMin while avoiding the shattered pieces on the floor. She said


    tearfully as she pressed on her wound to stop the bleeding, “Mother, what should we do? That


    wretched Anya has such a strong backer. Does this mean we have to let her off the hook from now


    on?”


    “What about our Sydney? Sydney had gotten into some heated arguments with Anya previously. Anya


    can take revenge on Sydney if she suddenly decides to. Mother… you have got to help your poor


    granddaughter!” Melissa howled pitifully.


    Mdm MacMin thought of her granddaughter and then looked at the wound on Melissa’s hand. She


    could not bear the thought of what could happen to Sydney. “What is the big deal about her getting into


    the good books of Evan Welton? She really thinks that she could get into the Welton family just like


    that?”


    “But mother, she could still act arrogant meanwhile, Melissa sobbed.


    “Stop crying. I’ll think of a solution.” Mdm MacMin looked at the night view through the door. She


    would get even with Anya for sure
