Chapter 186 Whoever She Hates, She Will Be Merciless

Cecilia looked at Anaya in disbelief. Anaya’s fair and delicate face was cold but gorgeous.

Having known Anaya for so many years, this was the first time that Cecilia looked at Anaya seriously. Itwas also the first time that Cecilia realized that Anaya, who used to only humbly lawn at her andJoshua, also had her own pride.

In the past, Anaya had been humble in the Maltz family because she cared about Joshua.

Now that Anaya had freed herself from the shackles of the past, she was already an independentwoman with a clear distinction between love and hate.

she would do everything to love someone.

Yet, she would be merciless to whoever she hated.

Words failed Cecilia. After a while, she finally said, “I just wanted you to provide me with some cluesfrom that night. Are you not willing to do me such a small favor?”

Anaya’s voice was more distant and indifferent than usual. “Mrs. Maltz, I have never been a kindperson. I think you have not forgotten how you treated me in the past.

“I will treat others the way they treat me. It is impossible for me to do you a favor. It is even moreimpossible for me to intervene in the grudge between you and Lexie.

“You should figure out how to deal with Lexie on your own.”

After saying that, Anaya turued around and left without hesitation.

When Cecilia saw Anaya’s resolute attitude, she couldn’t be more regretful.

If Cecilia had known that there would be so many troubles after Joshua and Anaya divorced, she wouldhave treated Anaya better. This way, Joshua and Anaya would not have gotten into a divorce. Anayawould not have treated her like this.

Lexie was a cunning woman who liked to play tricks behind her back

Joshua had been fooled by Lexie before they got married. After they got married, wouldn’t the entireMaltz family fall into the hand of Lexie?

At that time, Lexie mnight even bully Cecilia at home!

Cecilia came out of the hall on the first floor of the apartment with a sad face. Just as she went out, sheheard a familiar voice.

“Mom.”

Cecilia raised her head and saw Lexie leaning against the car. Under the pale street lights, Lexie wassmiling eerily.

Cecilia was startled and forced herself to calm down.

Lexle walked in front of Cecilia. The smile on her face never disappeared, but her eyes seemed to belooking at a lifeless

Maybe it was Cecilla’s Illusion. She always felt that Lexie looked loomier these two days.

The last few times they met. Lexie only spoke a bit more ruthlessiv, but now she looked like a crazywoman who lidd killed someone.

“Why are you here?” Cecilia forced herself to maintain her expression.

also want to ask you this.” Lexic asked as the smile on her face faded. “Mom, why are you lookine forAnava?

“You are not married into the Maltz family yet. How dare you ask about my business?” Cecilia put on anair of an elder.

Lexie went straight to the point and asked directly, “You came here today to investigate Anaya’smiscarriage, right?

Cecilia’s heart trembled and she refused to admit it. “No. I just came to talk to her.”

Lexie sneered, “After Anaya married into the Maltz family, you were extremely harsh on her. She hatesyour guts. What do you have to say to her?”

“It’s none of your business.” Cecilia avoided Lexie and wanted to leave. “I don’t want to see you. You’dbetter not talk to me!”

“Mom, I haven’t finished speaking yet. Why are you leaving?” Lexie reached out and grabbed Cecilia.

Lexie dug her nails deep into Cecilia’s arm.

Cecilia shook her hand, but she did not break free. Her well-maintained face looked a little sullen andshe raised her hand to push Lexic.

She originally wanted to push Lexie away from her, but unexpectedly, Lexie fell to the ground.

Cecilia did not expect that she would use so much strength and was a little stunned.

And the next second, Joshua rushed out from behind her.

Joshua squatted down and helped Lexie up. Are you alright?” he asked anxiously.

Lexie shook her head and said in a weak voice, “T’ın fine.”

Joshua looked Lexie up and down. After confirming that there was no wound on her body, he heaved asigh of relief and looked at Cecilia.

He reprimanded, “Mom, Lexie is going to wear a wedding dress the day after tomorrow. What if shefalls down and gets hurt?”

Lexie pulled Joshua and persuaded him, “Joshua, don’t be angry with Mom. She must have done itunintentionally and didn’t push me on purpose.”

Seeing how sensible Lexic was, Joshua felt even more distressed. “Mom has always hated you, butyou still speak up for her!”

With that, Joshua looked at Cecilia. “Mom, I know you hate Lexie, but she is my wife after all. As anelder, you shouldn’t push lier.”

Cecilia had never found a chance to speak since Lexie framed her for no reason. Cecilia was alsoblamed by Joshua. She felt aggrieved and angry,

Meanwhile, Cecilia felt that this scene was familiar to lier.

Hall a year ago, when Joshua and Anaya had not divorced yet, she seemed to have used this trickagainst Anaya.

At that time, the Dutt family had already gone downhill for a long time due to the lack of funds, andmany projects in progress had problems.

Anaya had asked Cecilia for help and wanted to borrow money from the Maltz family.

At that time, the Maltz family had already been out of the crisis, and the amount that Anaya wanted toborrow was not big

But Cecilia was worried that after they lentile money to the Dutt family if anything happened again, theMaltz Group would be in big trouble.

In order to prevent Joshua from lending money to Anaya, Cecilia pretended to fall from the stairs andtold Joshua that Anaya took revenge on her because they refused to lend money to Anaya.

At that time, Simon was discusted with Anaya. He immediately scolded Anaya and said that even ifRiven Group went bankrupt, he would never lend any money to the Dutt family.

It was then that the Dutt family completely fell to the bottom, almost becoming the last of the wealthyfamilies in Boston.

The trick Cecilia used to deal with Anaya in the past was now used by Lexie. Lexie used the same trickagainst Cecilia!

Cecilia said angrily, “I didn’t push her. This woman clearly wants to sow discord between you and me.She deliberately pretended to fall!”

However, Joshua didn’t believe her at all.

Joshua had seen how Cecilia liad treated Anaya in the past.

He knew better than anyone what his mother was like!

“Mom, when Anaya was in the Maltz family, you often picked on her. I didn’t care how you treatedAnaya, but you can’t bully Lexie!”

Hearing this, Cecilia gasped for breath, her chest heaving. She was almost pissed off by Joshua.

Cecilia thought, why do I have such a stupid son? He can‘t even see through such a clumsy slander!

Lexie waited for Joshua to finish before coming out to smooth things over. “Joshua, forget it. Don’tquarrel with Mom because of me.”

As Lexie spoke, she pulled out her arin that was being held by Joshua and walked to Cecilia, holdingher hand.

“Mom, I’m going to marry Joshua the day after tomorrow. We’ll be a family then.

“I hope that our family can always be harmonious. I’m not trying to sow discord between you andJoshua. You really misunderstood me.”
