Chapter 489 Anna and Zera’s Secret
Shirley and Daphne were completely shaken.
They believed every word Jasmine told them.
Shirley was so angry, she almost passed out. “That ungrateful brat! I took care of her all these years, and now she finds a rich dad and won’t even answer my calls!”
Daphne’s eyes lit up as she pushed Shirley forward. “Shirley, we need to go talk to her.”
Jasmine quickly crushed their hope. “But Zera told everyone you never raised her. She said Anna paid for everything since she was little. She also said you abused and scolded her throughout her childhood. She didn’t say anything good about you.”
Shirley roared in anger, refusing to accept it. “She’s lying! My husband died from cancer early on. I worked nonstop at the textile factory just to feed her. I even paid for her college. That ungrateful brat!”
Jasmine sighed. “Mrs. Caldwell, Zera and her mom tricked you. Anna took advantage of you.”
Daphne told Shirley, “Shirley, we can’t let that ungrateful brat walk away. She needs to pay back what she owes.”
Jasmine added, “Anna acts all sweet, but how can she be so cruel? She fooled her own sisterinlaw into raising her daughter. And now that they’re rich, they treat you like dirt.
“Zera is now the heiress of the Hills. Natasha already said Zera will get half of their billions someday. Whatever she wants, they give. They spoil her completely.”
Daphne clenched her teeth and cursed under her breath. “That bitch! She became rich, and now she dares say she doesn’t know her own family!”
Jasmine added, “And Anna? She’s pregnant with Mr. Cunningham’s child. The Cunninghams are one of the Eight Great Families in Vleka. Mr. Cunningham is already getting a divorce for her. Anna is about to become the new lady of a powerful family.”
Shirley shook with fury. “That shameless woman. I won’t let her get away with this!”
Jasmine said, “To be honest, you two work yourselves to death every day and barely make anything. They used you first. They wronged you first. Asking them for compensation is completely fair.”
Daphne said, “Shirley, I’m not going to the market tomorrow. I’ll go with

from them.”

Shirley cried, “If they dare refuse, I’ll make sure everyone sees what kind of people they really.
are!”
Jasmine pushed them even more. “Since you’re asking, ask for a lot. The Hills and Cunninghams are rich families. Zera and Anna spend money like water. Their handbags cost at least a million. Asking for a few billion dollars is nothing to them.”
Shirley and Daphne thanked her again and again.
Jasmine then stirred the pot again. “But be careful. I heard Anna and Zera myself. They called you rats and said they hoped your whole family would just die so you wouldn’t drag them down.”

Anna took a deep breath and asked carefully, “Shirley, what are you talking about? How could Zera be my daughter?”
Daphne, always fiery, snapped back, “Aunt Anna, what a clever trick. Your whole family fooled my mother–in–law into raising your daughter while you enjoyed yourself!”
Anna’s heart skipped. “Who told you this? Was it the person in that car?”
Both she and Zera had secrets.
To protect Zera, Natasha had told them to hide who they really were and keep acting like aunt and niece. Anna was also pregnant with George’s child and didn’t want anyone gossiping or hurting Zera, so she agreed to the plan.
They had hidden the secret very well. So who was bold enough to say all this right to their faces?
Could the person in that car be someone from the Hills?
Anna’s mind raced.
Shirley pointed straight at her and snapped, “Don’t think I don’t know! You’re carrying some rich man’s child, and Zera has already been accepted by the Hills. If you don’t give me money to make up for this, this isn’t over!”
