Chapter 694

Anya stayed with Evan at his ward for a while before going to the police station. Melissa had left a recording pen before she died which pointed to Anya abusing her.

Though Melissa had committed unforgivable sins, this was quite another story.

The principle was that everyone was equal before the law.

Melissa might have been a criminal herself, but Anya would still be investigated for “abusing” her. nt awry. She

But Anya was no longer the helpless little girl who would only panic when things went awry. was now Evan’s wife and mother to Nathaniel and Eudora.

She was capable of handling things.

Therefore, she went to the police station without fear to discuss the matter.

The police had no intention to detain Anya. Not because she was Evan’s wife, but because Melissa’s not exactly innocent and might have forged the recording.

And its contents weren’t enough to pose an arrest on Anya.

Only to educate Anya verbally for the most.

Still, the bad news was that Melissa held a trick. When she was arrested, the police had allowed her family to visit.

Therefore, her family was able to ge

a copy of the recording.

And it ended up on the internet. To Anya, this was sure to affect the Weltons‘ image, which was already damaged by the rumor of Anya being the daughter of a harlot.

Not to mention this abuse thing.

According to the police, they could free Anya without any special investigations. But she would. have to cope with the rumors on the internet herself.

Anya thanked the police and left with her bodyguard.

After leaving the police station, she asked her bodyguard to give her the iPad and started to search. online. Sure enough, secrets about powerful families always ended up in the headline.

Yesterday it was still Melissa murdering her mother–in–law. Now it was “Mental Illness, Melissa Turned Murderer By Anya Welton’s Long–Term Abuse“.

It seemed to imply that it wasn’t Melissa’s fault she killed, it was all because of Anya’s violence. And Anya was unable to rewrite because Melissa’s now dead.

She still underestimated Melissa.

Anya remained calm while she read all the relative news online. Her guard glanced at the news and hesitated before giving his advice. “Mrs. Welton, would you like to arrange for these to be taken.

down?”

Anya returned the iPad to him. “There’s no need for that. Melissa’s family’s going to hold a public meeting this afternoon. If we delete the news, we will appear guilty. I can handle this.”

The bodyguard nodded. “Whatever Mrs. Welton says.”

“Prepare the car. I want to meet Gina.” Gina had long been in the show business and should know a lot about press conferences and public meetings. She could get Gina’s help in dealing with Melissa’s family.

The bodyguard said respectfully, “Yes, madam.”

While her bodyguard went to fetch the car, Anya figured out how to tackle this issue.

Melissa’s family certainly didn’t come nicely.

They were of middle–class. Maybe not a match for powerful families, but had connections in the legal business.

They would surely think of ways to suppress her.

Anya decided that she would visit Ellie after meeting Gina. When she left the MacMillan family, sh took some of her mother’s belongings and left them at Ellie’s place.

Among them was evidence of Melissa maltreating her while being someone’s mistress.

This would make clear who was the abuser. If not for this incident, she wouldn’t have retrieved those photos. Those were her nightmares.

Anya once thought about burning them because looking at them made her uncomfortable. But he mother said she should keep those to sue Melissa in the future.

After her mother passed away, those photos had been resting quietly. And now, they were finally about to come in useful.
