Chapter 178: To please the In-Law

"You father had saved Mr. Jackson when he was child. Mr. Jackson was a butler," Stella explained.

""Butler?"

"He was in charge of taking care of us when your father was out on a trip. But then your sister disappeared, and

your father went looking for her and did not return. | went to bed with my mother for help, and she promised to

look, but Emma was never found. By the t| brought you back to the house, your father's mother had sold our

hand grandpa Jackson had died. | couldn't contact anyone," Stella explained.

"All these years, no one ever explained it to me." Anya asked.

"Your father's mother always hatedand wanted nothing to do with me, so your father did not takeback

often. It was odd that she suddenly took back our home, and I could not fight for it." Stella said through her

teeth.

Anya could tell talk of her father and his family was agitating her mother, so she changed the

topic.

"Mum, why did your father leave all his property to you?" Anya asked, and Stella paused.

"To me?" she asked.

"Yes. You were taken, mom. | thought you were dead; they even gaveyour fake ashes to throw away. | got

divorced and moved back to our former home. But Daniel soon found someone like you and hooked you to this

machine to find my father. Afterwards, Uncle tried to sell me." Anya started to recount what she had gone

through.

"Sell you?" Stella asked in horror.

"Don't worry. Daniel was there. | am fine, am | not? But that is when | found Emma."

explained.

Emma, you found Emma?",

"Yes, mom. | will call her to cover," Anya said, and Stella broke into sobs.

Anya

"Mom, grandma... Your mother had found Emma years ago and forced her into marriage. It's because Grandpa

left you everything. Uncle is not your father's son. As long as you married or Emma and | did, the property would

pass to us. She wanted to get rid of us," Anya said. Hearing this, Stella fumed. How could the town mother do

this? Just for a son?

The moment Daniel left the room, he called his mother for help. He even considered his maternal grandmother

too. His mother-in-law had a strong opinion about him and their family. He needed backup. "You actually called

me! Is the world ending?" His mother, Wendy, exclaimed the moment she picked up his call. wwwww

"Put Grandma on," Daniel said to her.

"Why?" she asked. He was the one who had called her. But, when he heard her excited voice, he recalled how

tic his mother could be. His maternal grandmother was here to visit old master Rhodes.

"I am meeting my in-law. Grandma should csupport me. It doesn't look good," he said, and on the other

end, his grandmother, Amanda, snatched the phone from Wendy.

"She is finally awake? Thank God. Anya will be pleased. But, why doesn't it look good?" she asked.

"My mother-in-law is Stella Jones, or better known as Stella Grey," he said, and she paused. "Which Stella Grey?"

Wendy asked, and he realized the phone was probably on speaker. "That Stella Grey," he answered.

"Then your father-in-law is probably..." Amanda started.

"James Grey," he completed.

"I thought your wife was a normal civilian," Wendy said.

"Mother-in-law seems separated from James Grey. For that to have happened, it seems something happened to

James Grey all these years since he has not been seen in public," he explained. "So, the Grey family is hiding

him?" Amanda asked.

"Probably. Something must have happened. It seems my mother-in-law hates rich families. It must have

something to do with the Grey family," he explained, then hesitated.

"It also has something to do with us and how Anya was treated for years.

"Where are you? | am coming," Amanda said.

And just like that, in a few minutes, Wendy and Amanda had dashed into the hospital.

Anya had only just processed what her mother had said when there was a knock on the door.

Anya was meeting Daniel's grandmother for the first time, and she made quite the Impression. Wendy had

already chosen sides. The moment Wendy walked in, she declared, "In Lew, the Grey Family are our enemies."

Her words made Daniel sigh. What did this mean? That had business with the greys.

"This is my mother, Wendy," he introduced the tic woman. She looked too young to be his mother, but

Stella chocked it up to being well maintained.

Daniel expected his grandmother to be the reasonable one.

When Amanda saw Anya, she smiled

"And this must be Anya. | am Daniel's grandmother. You can callgrandma," Amanda said.

"Grandma," Anya greeted. This pleased the old lady greatly.

Good girl, cgive grandma a hug," Amanda answered, and Anya's heart warmed. She shyly went over to hug

the old woman.

"This woman who has enemies is my daughter. You already know her and her gossiping mouth," Amanda

introduced Wendy, making Anya chuckle. ""Mom," Wendy scolded.

"Mother," Anya greeted Wendy, and Wendy smiled widely.

"Good girl," she answered.

"Hello, in law. | heard you were here and cto visit," Amanda said and gestured to James to step forward.

"This grandson of mine did wrong. He should have greeted you earlier. | did not teach him well," Amanda

apologized.

"You are enemies with the Grey family?" This was all Stella concentrated on.

"Grey? What Grey Family?" Amanda asked, and the room froze.

"We do not know any Grey Families, dear," she insisted, and Daniel had no words. He thought his mother was

unreasonable. But he forgot that his grandmother was even more unreasonable.

"You do not know them?" Stella was speechless. They are all great families known across the country; how could

she claim to not know them?

"We have never heard of a Grey family. In fact, none of my Shaw family have heard of them,

Amanda insisted.

Who knew that these words would amuse Stella so much that she laughed? Stella knew bow great families were.

They were prideful. To deny the Grey family to help her grandson, it seems her daughter had melted their hearts

somehow. Stella suddenly warmed up to them, and Daniel sighed.

His mother and grandmother talked to Stella for a while. They went from just discussing to teasing Daniel and

Anya to discussing grandbabies.

Anya suddenly wanted to leave, she suspected that the longer they stayed, the worse the conversation would

turn

the pinched Dantel, and he understood and tool her away after saying good-bye. The women knew they were

escaping and let them go.

Now alone, Anya had questions. She wanted to know more about her father but did not know how to approach

the tople.

Stella could sense she wanted to say something but was hesitant, so she sighed.

"Just ask," Stella urged her.

"Dad, is he alive?" she asked. Anya paused.

"I don't know. In my dream, | saw him. But he did not know who | we had forgotten me," Stella said with a bitter

chuckle.

It was as though he

"When | think about it, the dream was probably my subconscious. After all, the only way your father would not

return is if he had forgotten us," she said.

"Mom, are you still waiting for him to cback?" Anya asked.

Stella smiled and shook her head. It has been too long. How can life last that long without news? She was not

sure truthfully, but she felt she was over him now. She had years to cry. The tears had slowly dried with time.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Anya looked away. She knew when to stop pushing. She immediately recalled that she had not yet told Emma

about their mother.

Anya took a seat and called Emma. After a few rings. Emma picked up the call.

"Anya," she said.

"Emma, | need you to take a seat first. | have something to tell you," Anya said. Chapter 179 Cu Master Madson
