Chapter 99 - Secret (1/2)

Anya clenched her fists tightly. Anger, annoyance, disappointment seemed to gather in her heart and slowly built up.

The date on the paper was exactly the same as the time of the accident that happened to her mother. It could be said that the perfume formula was probably the newest recipe before the accident occured.

It was impossible to know what kind of experiment that took place in the laboratory that day so she could only rely on the previous day's notes to find out the recipe for her mother's dream perfume.

Every night, her mother would record the changes to her test recipe then sign and affix the date of the day.

”When your mother worked, she always carried a notebook to write notes on the success and failure of each attempt. The notebook was destroyed when the accident happened and your mother couldn't remember this perfume formula. This paper is the last note she keeps.” Deny explained to Anya.

Anya's eyes radiate heartache. Her lips curved into a sinister smile, ”My mother and you have been husband and wife for more than ten years and you have been cheating on her as well during those ten years. When you separated, you kicked her out of the house. You also asked for my mother's villa. Now, you come before me and threaten me using my mother's recipe. Are you not ashamed?”

Anya was really angry. She was so angry that she couldn't call the man in front of her as her father. What kind of father would do this to the woman who was his wife and his eldest daughter? What kind of father threatened his daughter for his own gain?

”Anya, father didn't threaten you. Dad only told about the recipe. Besides, your mother was the first to ask for divorce. And that villa was used to fund your tuition fees and raise you. Don't you remember everything I did for you?” Deny's tone was also not good. He would not beg Anya and humble himself. Now he had something that Anya really wanted. Why beg if he could threaten?

”Auntie, I'm hungry. Do you have a snack?” Nico's voice suddenly came from the front door.

Nico didn't come uninvited. When Anya told Deny to come in, Hana immediately contacted Harris and Nico. Hana didn't want anything to happen to Anya so she immediately called for help.

Once he got the news about Deny's arrival, Nico rushed to go to Aiden's house because he was afraid that something might happen to Anya. He was afraid that Aiden would punish him if something bad happened to Anya.

”If you give me the recipe, my mother and I will be very grateful. But I can't do anything to help you. You know how Aiden is. I can't change his decision.” Anya said. Even though she felt sad, she couldn't do anything.

Deny also heard Nico's voice. What could he do now? Nico was already in front of the house, so he couldn't keep threatening Anya now.

”I'm going home first. Think of my wish and I will wait for you in three days.” Deny turned around as he took his cell phone away, carrying the recipe of Anya's mother's dream.

Nico saw Deny's departure and said, ”Mr. Deny comes here very late. What's the matter? My uncle is out of the country.”

”I came to meet Anya to discuss personal matters. We're done talking. I'll go home first.” Deny looked embarrassed as if he had been caught doing something bad.

”Ah well, be careful. Sorry I couldn't escort you.” Nico smiled cheerfully, but his voice sounded cold and deadly.

After Deny left, Nico immediately ran to the sofa and looked at Anya's face for a while. After observing it carefully and finding nothing strange, he felt relieved.

”Why do you look at me like that?” Anya asked, holding her face. Was there dirt on her face?

”No. I'm worried about you!” Nico sighed, ”What does he want?”

Anya shook her head, ”It is nothing.

”Just tell me if there's anything you need!” Nico said.

”I just need someone who can take care of vanilla plants. Please help me as soon as possible.” Anya said.

She had no intention of telling Nico this matter.

”Take it easy. In three days I will find the right person!” Nico replied, patting his chest.

Anya chuckled at Nico's answer. Indeed, Nico's presence made the atmosphere brighter, ”Mrs. Hana, can you get a snack for Nico?”
