"What on earth are you babbling about? What did your mother's car accident have to do with us?" Morgan yelled from the other end.
Anya, however, sneered, "I only said that my mother was almost killed by Luna. I didn't talk about the car accident, did I? Are you confessing to a crime yourself?"
Anya's eloquence made Morgan ashamed, angry, and guilty.
Anya had absolutely no intention of hearing Morgan's explanation. She ignored his accusation, and said, "To level with you, I came back to ruin you and have you end up getting nothing."
"What?" Morgan was exasperated by Anya's words since he did not expect Anya to be so blunt and hate them so much.
"I said, I came back to ruin you and have you end up getting nothing, and I will make you pay a heavy price for what you owed me and my mom!"
Anya repeated it word by word.
She didn't have a good temper. The reason why she patiently repeated it was to make Morgan catch her words.
"Anya!"
Morgan heard it clearly and turned angrier. Also, he got angry due to a great deal of panic.
"Your mother has woken up now and she is recovering, so why are you doing this to us?" Morgan questioned Anya loudly.
Anya chuckled, "My dear father, you're wrong."
"My mom's waking up is not grounds for forgiving you."
"But it's grounds for avenging on you. If my mom hadn't woken up, we wouldn't have known Luna plotted my mom's car crash. Thus, we're trying to get back at you guys even harder."
"I bet you must know about Luna's evildoing. She sleeps with you every night, after all."
"Attempting to murder your wife with the mistress. If this story gets out, not only will you go to jail, but your reputation gets ruined!"
After Anya finished, Morgan could not stand on his feet and broke out in a cold sweat.
He said nothing and hurriedly hung up the phone with trembling hands.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Beside him, Luna was anxiously waiting for their negotiation result, but out of her expectations, his legs went jelly after finishing the call.
Gracie attended a banquet tonight but just came home in tears. She told Morgan and Luna what had happened at the banquet. They were pissed off after hearing it.
At this hour, Gracie and Luna had become the most searched names and received heavy criticism.
The netizens were boycotting Gracie and required her to quit show business. It was a very serious thing.
After a short discussion with Luna, Morgan made a phone call to Anya.
They had had enough of the boring life abroad over the years, and because of Phil's involvement, Morgan did not get much of the marital property.
Of course, it was not much for those who were used to living an extravagant life, but it was enough for an average family to live an affluent life.
Morgan and his family, however, were never satisfied with it. Luna didn't have a job and had to provide for her two kids, who spent money as recklessly as her. Therefore, in the end, they were living on a shoestring.
When they finally returned to the Chiobar and Gracie got into showbiz to earn money, their living conditions thus improved considerably, and now they placed all expectations of making a fortune on Gracie, and dreamt of Gracie's great success, but Anya ruined Gracie in one fell swoop tonight.
Gracie asked Morgan with red-rimmed eyes, "Then what should do? Can't we do anything about it?"
Before Morgan said anything, Gracie cried again, "I don't care what she will do. I don't want to end up having nothing. I want to keep on being an actress!"
She had been so close to achieving her dream, so she wouldn't let anyone ruin it.
"What do you think you can do? Do you know who supports her? That's Phil!" Morgan had been very troubled, so he instantly lost his patience with Gracie when Gracie had a tantrum.
To Morgan, it didn't matter if they were thrown out of the country and lived in poverty abroad again.
But if Anya and Phil had the proof and handed it over to the police, they would be sentenced to prison. By then, they would really end up getting nothing.
"If they hold the evidence, your mother and I will be jailed!" Morgan bellowed.
Gracie and her brother instantly got too scared to utter a word.
Even Luna sank down on the sofa with a pale face and trembling legs.
She pursed her lips and thought, 'Why did Lorie wake up? Why?
'She has been in a coma for years, hasn't she? What makes her wake up?
'And how did she get the evidence?'
Luna was overwhelmed with these questions.
