Chapter 70
With a smirk, she leaned back into the couch. The playful case she usually carried around her family was gone. In its place was something colder, sharper–a vibe like her brother’s.
She had been raised to stand above the rest, and when she dropped the act, that pressure was impossible to ignore.
They lost the family feud years ago. The second son of the Palmers runs Palmer Group now. Even if they come back, they won’t be getting much
out of it.
But Anya wasn’t naive. She knew how shameless Roseanne could be. Back then, she could ask Julian to help her snatch her family property from ber uncle, and this time, she wouldn’t just play nice and do nothing
While Anya wasn’t worried about anything else, she was concerned about Roseanne trying to pull something with Rosalie.
As far as Anya was concerned, there was only one woman worthy of being Julian’s wife, and that was Rosalie. That title was not up for grabs, and she sure as hell wasn’t letting just anyone take a shot at it.
“I couldn’t care less about the Palmers, Anya said flatly. But if Roseanne thinks about coming for Julian, I’ll make her regret it.”
A sharp glint flashed through Anya’s eyes.
She could mess with her brother all she wanted. That was her right as his sister. But outsiders? They were dead meat the moment they tried. Kaleb hesitated for a few seconds and finally said, “Sean mentioned something the other day… He thinks Julian only pushed for the divorce because Roseanne’s coming back”
Anya’s hand froze in the air, her glass still in her grasp. With a frown, she asked, “Who told him that?”
Kaleb didn’t answer directly. Instead, he asked, “You ever notice how much Rosalie looks like Roseanne?”
The words hit Anya like a punch to the gut. For a long moment, she said nothing
If Kaleb hadn’t pointed it out, she wouldn’t have thought of it. But now that he had, Anya realized that Rosalie did look like Roseanne,
And the timing was too much of a coincidence. Right when Roseanne was set to return, Julian suddenly wanted a divorce, Anya couldn’t help but suspect if the divorce had anything to do with Roseanne.
