Chapter 43: Refuse to Admit Even in Death
"Grandma, did you want to speak to me about something?" Huo Anya asked, putting on the demeanor of an innocent girl.
Mrs. Huo asked sternly, "Anya, Miss Lin just mentioned that she attended the party you hosted last night and said that you were drugged. Do you know what this is about?"
"Grandma, how could that be possible? She must be talking nonsense," Huo Anya was shocked to her core. She hadn't anticipated that Lin Banxia would have the audacity to go straight to Grandma to accuse her, and in her panic, she immediately turned the tables.
Mrs. Huo furrowed her brows, "She has evidence in her hands, and Qi Han is also a witness. You'd better explain this matter quickly."
Huo Anya felt even more frightened; although Grandma usually doted on her, this was, after all, a matter that crossed the line into illegality.
Lin Banxia kept sobbing, "If this matter doesn't reach a resolution, I will report it to the police. I believe the police will give me justice."
"Lin Banxia, stop spouting nonsense! Who would drug you? Maybe you recklessly took something outside and now you're trying to frame me!" Upon hearing mention of reporting to the police, Huo Anya became more unnerved and instantly lashed out angrily at Lin Banxia.
Mrs. Huo was a shrewd person; seeing the situation unfold, she already had a solid guess in her heart.
"Enough, Anya. Have all the rules I taught you been completely forgotten?" Mrs. Huo rebuked harshly.
Huo Anya instantly adopted the look of someone terribly wronged, whining, "Grandma..."
"That's enough, Banxia. Grandma will give you a proper explanation on this matter. You may leave for now." Mrs. Huo felt her head pounding, troubled. These younger generations were all so unruly.
