Chapter 184

Anya felt a lot better after texting Cindy. The foul mood that she had been in dissipated.

She should spend more ttalking to her friend. It really helped get things off her chest

Without Cindy, she might die from sheer anger.

Anya thought about the MacMillans. They had abused her and her mother and put the both of them through hell. But there was no point in getting mad at them. That hurt nobody but herself. She was the only one who suffered for her anger.

It wasn’t worth it. Anya wasn’t going to let her grandmother’s unexpected and hostile visit that morning distract her from what was important.

She had to pay a visit to the factory and get Lola’s bridal gown done.

Her job today was to make sure that the pearls and rhinestones were sewn onto the dress.

It took Anya half an hour to reach the factory.

She spoke to the tailor in charge of getting the bridal gown ready. After that, she sent a text to Lola. “Ms. Mars, the bridal gown will be ready today. I’ll send you a photo once it’s done.”

“Sure,” Lola texted back.

“I’ll let you get back to your work now,” Anya replied.

The other woman texted back again. “Have you considered my invitation? I didn’t get an answer from you.”

Lola was talking about her pre–wedding vacation. That had slipped Anya’s mind completely. “I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to attend the trip. My calendar’s packed. Have a great vacation!”

Anya set her phone aside and got back to work after sending that final text.

Meanwhile, Evan had just found out about Mdm. MacMillan’s unannounced visit to JK Couture and the scene that she had caused. He listened quietly as Hayden told him what had happened.

There was a hint of steel to his voice when he spoke. “I don’t want any MacMillan who’s not working in the Welton Group on our premises in the future. Fire anyone who lets them in. Make sure everyone knows the consequences.”

Hayden nodded, “I’ll let everyone know, Mr. Welton.”

Lola smiled as she read Anya’s text. The young woman had turned down her invitation. Lola turned around and gave her cousin a look. “Dan, she’s not coming. What should we do?”

Dan was playing cards. He had a king of hearts pinched between his fingertips. “How did you ask her?”

“Nicely. Like a normal person. Were you expectingto beg her to come?” Lola snorted. She strolled towards her cousin and took a seat across the table. “My dear cousin, I’m a celebrity. I’m not going to go down on my knees and beg.”

Dan’s lips quirked into a smile. “This is for Evan’s sake. You want him to be happy, don’t you? Think of a way to get her to join us for the trip.”

“Maybe she really doesn’t want to,” Lola said thoughtfully. “She doesn’t seem to like Evan at all.”

“That’s why he’s interested in her. He wouldn’t be if she were throwing herself at him,” Dan said before throwing the card in

his hand onto the table.

“Men are such weird creatures. What’s wrong with going after someone who likes you too? Why force yourself on someone who doesn’t like you at all? You’re just going to cast them aside after you’re done with them and get bored. These poor young girls. They’re the ones who end up getting hurt.” Honestly, Lola was convinced that Evan was just trying to have sfun with Anya.

She knew men like Evan and her cousin. Except the partner whom their family had chosen for them, every other woman was simply a casual fling.

That included every woman who had the misfortune of catching their eye. They would end up as the men’s playthings.

Things wouldn’t be so bad if these women thought about the bright side of things though. They weren’t exactly getting the worse end of the deal.

They would be showered with gifts, after all.

What they wouldn’t get was love or status.

When it was tfor men like Evan and Dan to settle down, these women would get a generous sum of money and be sent

away.

“Hurt? You’ll be dating Evan. How bad can it be? He’s tall and good looking. He’s influential and powerful. He’s also very generous,” Dan said as he continued his gof cards. “I heard he’s really generous this time.”

“What did you hear?” Lola’s ears twitched with curiosity.

“He offered to let Anya have his really expensive apartment. Is that generous enough for you?” Dan honestly thought Anya would be getting the better end of the deal if she accepted Evan’s offer and agreed to be the man’s lover.

She might end up with nothing after getting dumped by other men.

But she would have a million–dollar apartment after getting dumped by Evan.

There were plenty of women out there who would kill to be in her place.

Lola’s jaw dropped. That was incredibly generous of Evan. “That’s a million–dollar apartment you’re talking about. I know actresses who would throw themselves at Evan for that. It seems excessively generous.”

“He likes women who don’t sleep around. I’m not insinuating anything about anyone here.”

Lola rolled her eyes at her cousin.

It appeared that she had to find a way to convince Anya to calong to her pre–wedding vacation.
