“Do what you want, Ms. Xanders.” The old lady replied as she took a sip of tea. She then continued with a cold chuckle and said, “Letjust be absolutely blunt with you. If the cops can’t find anything. I’ll need you to leave immediately, Ms.

Xanders.”

As the old lady spoke, she took a quick glance at her daughter–in–law, Melissa, hinting at her to knock Anya unconscious,

Melissa got her hint and secretly snuck away to deal with Anya while Cindy contacted the authorities.

It seemed that Anya was still trying to pry the wooden plank open to escape. She could not believe that the MacMillans would be ruthless enough to do anything for their benefits. They were even willing to marry her off to the Xaviers.

Since they were capable to committing such a vile act, all she could do was think of a way to escape.

The plank was creaking loudly while Anya pulled. She was pulling so hard that her fingers were bleeding. However, she was only able to pry it loose by a tiny inch.

Anya was

not discouraged by this as she continued to pry it loose. However, she heard footsteps approaching the basement which startled her so much that she frantically covered the small door with the rugged bags

before standing at a corner while she waited for the person.

It did not take long for the basement’s door to open.

Melissa brought one of the burly men with her. When Anya noticed that they seemed hostile to her, she kept her guard up before slowly inching backwards while staring at them. However, Melissa did not want to waste any ttalking to her, so she immediately told the burly man, “Knock her unconscious and make sure you do it right.”

The burly man nodded before taking out the drugs that he previously prepared for and strode towards Anya. When Anya noticed what was happening, she instinctively wanted to escape. However, she was no match for a towering burly man. It did not take the man long to catch up to her before forcing the drugs down her throat.

It did not take long for her to pass out. Melissa then approached her and slapped her face. She felt relieved when Anya did not react to it as she left with the burly man.

The police officers arrived in less than five minutes after Cindy contacted them.

After Cindy explained everything, the old lady immediately exploded in a fit of rage and allowed the police officers to search their room. However, since the police officers were unfamiliar with the mansion’s layout, they had no idea where the basement was after searching the area. Since they had no idea where the basement was, they could not search it. The police officers soon left after they were unable to find Anya with their rough sweep of the area.

Cindy was forced to leave and was unable to do a thing about those people. All she could do was return to her car in a frustrated panicked rage. She then decided to calm herself down and think when she entered her car. She also decided to give her cousin a call.

Since her cousin knew plenty of people, he would know what to do. Cindy frantically called Jamie after that. Jamie told her to return hfor now and leave the situation to him when the call ended.

However, Cindy did not want to leave. She had a feeling that Anya was still in the MacMillan household but the only problem was that she had no idea where they hid her.

Chapter 256

She could not just leave as she was worried that they might do something to Anya. If that happened, she would feel Incredibly guilty about it.

Cindy drove her car to a secluded area of the mansion and decided to do a stake out. She refused to believe that they would lock Anya away in the mansion forever!

She would make a missing person’s report and have the police officers investigate the whole ordeal then.

In the president’s office of Welton Group, Evan was finally done with his work and wanted to invite Anya out for dinner. Thus, he decided to give her a call, However, he realized that her phone was off.

Evan frowned immediately after that.

It was still the sresult when he called her the second time. Evan was puzzled by this. However, he did not think that she was being locked away by someone else.

He tossed his phone aside and invited Dan out for dinner.

Coincidentally, Jamie was discussing slegal details of getting Dan’s company listed in the stock market. However, Jamie seemed a little distracted as he was thinking about Anya disappearing in the MacMillan household while they talked

for a moment.

Dan could seemingly tell that there was something on Jamie’s mind, so he politely said, “If you have something else to attend to, Mr. Granger, I won’t be taking anymore of your time. Shall we continue our discussion tomorrow?”

Jamie chuckled bashfully as he said, “Thanks for understanding Mr. Baker. I indeed something else to attend to.”

“That’s okay. You can go on ahead with your errands.” Dan sent him away politely.

Jamie shook Dan’s hand as they exited Dan’s office. He then walked towards the elevator and began calling Cindy while he

walked.

The call was connected as Dan overheard his conversation about Anya’s disappearance.

Dan’s gaze dimmed immediately after hearing that. He then thought to himself, ‘Anya is missing?

‘Does Evan know about this?‘
