Anaya sneered and left that parting shot behind, then hung up.
She was calling obviously because she’d been flamed too much online, and the rich lady image she’d cultivated had crumbled utterly these past few days, so she was feeling pissed.
She didn’t much like Sierra, but she loathed Georgia.
Not that Georgia was her cousin’s wife in name and she was inheriting that huge inheritance, Anaya was, of course, feeling really hateful for it.
She didn’t want to believe it and had called to confirm the answer, which pissed her off even more.
Because of that call, Georgia recalled Aston.
Thinking about it, Anaya seemed to especially dislike her because she had a pretty intimate relationship with Emilia, and Anaya had done all sorts of malicious speculation.
If Anaya found out that she was actually cousins with Aston, that would be a show.
Georgia thought about it, and decided she was going to tell Anaya next time she saw her, then get a good look at her face.
But the moment she recalled Aston, Emilia made a video call.
Georgia took the call, and her mother’s face appeared.
“Georgia, how’s things inside the country? Is it dangerous for you?”
Georgia hurriedly comforted Casey.
“Everything’s fine on my end. I’ve taken care of Sierra. She’s failed now, and my side’s going to stop when the person behind her has been exposed. You don’t need to worry about me, Mom. I’ll resolve all this. Annie says she wants to see you. Now that your body’s fine and you’re free, I’ll take you to her.”
Georgia smiled, taking her phone to Annie, who was in the living room watching a cartoon.
“Annie, this is Grandma. Say high to Grandma.”
This was Annie’s first time seeing her grandmother.
Because Casey’s body wasn’t in the best shape and she wasn’t always sober, Georgia had never disturbed her by calling first ever since she’d come back to the country.
And since Casey had called to see her this time, she must be feeling better.
“Hello, Grandma, I’m Annie!”
Annie looked at Casey and greeted her respectfully. She took a liking to her gentle, beautiful, refined grandmother in the camera right away.
Other children had grandmothers and grandfathers, while Annie didn’t, so she was curious.
Now that she finally had a grandmother and one who was so beautiful, Annie was overjoyed.
“You’re so pretty, Annie. Your Grandma’s not feeling well right now and I can’t come back for hugs. When I’m feeling better, would you like me to come over, Annie?”
“You’re so beautiful, Grandma, why wouldn’t I want you over? Then you can take me to school and I can tell all my classmates that my Grandma is the best and most beautiful!”
Annie blurted excitedly, and on the video, Casey’s smile widened. The family chatted for close to half an hour.
Casey was getting tired and had to lie down and rest. Annie left the call longingly.
