Desires Die Hard

Chapter 717

A few more days had passed in the blink of an eye. It was almost time for Anya to return to work at JK Couture as her leave of rest and recuperation was almost over.

These days, Ansley was quite law–abiding. She did not actively seek trouble again.

She was waiting for the right moment.

The day Anya went back to work at JK Couture was the time of Tom’s funeral.

Evan didn’t want Anya to attend the funeral, fearing that she would meet something inauspicious, so he asked her to go to work. He would go to the funeral.

Anya had no opinion of that. Before Evan went to the Baker family, Anya personally dressed him in the black suit for the funeral.

After helping him get dressed, Anya said, “You should be careful when you go there. The Baker family has been unsettled lately.” People were buzzing with the affairs of the Baker family.

The Baker family’s scandals were no less than the Welton family’s some time ago.

Therefore, Anya was worried that Evan would get into trouble for participating in the affairs of the Baker family.

Evan knew what Anya was worried about. But Dan was his best friend. When he went to Fenteon, Dan was willing to accompany him to take the risk. As Dan was caught in his family dispute, he could not stand by and do nothing.

Evan said to comfort Anya, “Honey, I will take care of myself. But Dan and I are good. friends. When I went to Fenteon, he stayed with me despite the danger, and this time I will stay with him too.”

After saying that, Evan kissed Anya to reassure her.

Anya nodded. A good friend like Dan was rare. Anya would not interfere with their brotherhood, but she was worried about Evan’s safety and that he would get hurt again.

“I see. Then you must be careful, OK?” Anya took his hand and gently placed it on her stomach, saying, “you have to remember that you are the father of your children.”

Evan said, “OK.” Evan was amused by her. He didn’t think anything dangerous would happen at the funeral,

But things were not as simple as Evan thought. As the internal strife of the Baker family was intense, no one would miss an opportunity to vilify others.

The funeral was held at the Baker’s.

All the business people and leaders in Nordeny came over in black to offer their condolences, including Evan and John.

John had not returned home for a long time, so he went to catch up with some old friends, and Evan went to find Dan.

Tom’s crystal coffin was placed in the ancestral hall.

Dan, Kara, and Judy were standing there. Judy was the wife of Tom. She lost her husband not long after her marriage. But she was still a Baker, so she had to kneel next to the coffin.

Kara had always been uncomfortable with Judy because Judy not only slandered Dan for trying to defile her, but Judy was also on the wrong

uncle.

Kara thought, “Is Judy going to be a pawn of my serve Grandpa?”

Kara couldn’t possibly like a girl like that.

Judy was a thorn in Kara’s side.

When Kara came to the ancestral hall and saw Judy kneeling over there, she was very angry. Taking advantage of the fact that her uncle was not there, she went to Judy and squatted down. She pinched Judy’s chin with one hand and said coldly, “Why are you. pretending to be pathetic? Do you love Tom? You just stay at our house for the sake of

money.

“Did my uncle ask you to stay with Grandpa?”

Judy said, “Kara, you misunderstood me.” Judy had always had a sense of fear of Kara.

So when Kara reprimanded her angrily, her eyes got red and tears fell.

She shed tears not only because she was afraid of Kara, but also because of her fate. She hated being a pawn to all of them, but she felt helpless to do anything about it.

So she cried.

Kara said, “Why are you still putting on an act?” Kara didn’t be softhearted because Judy was crying. Kara then raised her hand and tried to slap Judy.

Seeing that, Dan raised his hand and held Kara’s hand. Dan said, “Kara, there is no need. to hit her. If grandpa finds out, he will be angry.”

Although Dan did not like Judy, he didn’t want to see Kara hit her.

As it was time for Tom’s funeral, Dan didn’t want to make his grandfather angry.
