Chapter 263: Chapter 263 - 263 Ch. 263 Anxia’s Threat

263 Ch. 263 Anxia’s Threat

The following day, Loraine Shu burst out laughing when she got her most coveted program―Tiffany II. Anxia scoffed at how happy her mother was―that wicked woman was.

Now that Anxia was sure that the Loraine Shu in front of her eyes was not her biological mother, Anxia hated that woman even more. She had every reason to kill the woman and zero reasons to forgive the witch.

First, somehow the woman stole her mother’s face and identity to fool her. The second, the woman tricked and bribed her obstetrician to take Elliot away. And last but not least, the woman allowed some secret lover to torture her son to traumatize the boy.

However, she had to delay it first to ensure Elliot left this place safely. As long as Elliot was in this woman’s lair, Anxia couldn’t do as she pleased.

“I have got what you want. Now, let me and Elliot leave here.”

The broad smile filled with greedy joy vanished instantly upon hearing Anxia speak. Loraine Shu kept the Tiffany II program in her desk drawer and looked at Anxia confidently.

What else does this woman have planned?

“Of course, I haven’t forgotten about it. But… looks like you have to postpone your departure, Xiao Xia. Elliot doesn’t want to leave here anymore.”

No matter how angry Anxia was, she endured it very well and kept her expression as even as possible.

.....

“Have you threatened my son, Loraine?”

Loraine Shu couldn’t hide her shock when she heard Anxia calling her name instead of ‘mother’ as usual. Anxia’s respect and love for her disappear, making Loraine break into a cold sweat.

“What do you mean I threatened him? I did nothing.” Loraine kept her voice with great effort so it wouldn’t sound like it was shaking as she spoke.

“But your lover did it. What’s his name? Ah… Song. Lei. Isn’t that right, Lady Shu?” Anxia didn’t let go of the gaze filled with a murderous aura as she stared straight at the woman.

Loraine Shu felt dozens of water droplets running from her neck to her back. Her legs shook as she couldn’t help but fear the girl’s gaze. The woman also clenched her fists and tried her best not to falter and look weak in front of the girl.

For a moment, Loraine remembered the same pair of eyes looking at her with hatred. Because of that woman, she lost her face, and because of that woman, she lost everything.

Loraine had no idea Anxia… had the same glint in her eyes as that ‘woman.’

Loraine Shu lowered her head with raging thoughts to find a way out. It wasn’t long before she remembered Song Lei’s words, and only then did she feel calm again.

‘You don’t need to be afraid of facing Qiao Anxia. As long as Yang Guang is in our hands, that girl won’t be able to do anything about it.’

Loraine loosened her fist, and as if she had a newfound courage, the woman gave a crooked smile.

“Qiao Anxia, ??it seems you don’t think of me as your mother anymore. Then I won’t think of you as my daughter. It’s up to you whether you want to leave here, but I won’t let you take my grandson.”

Anxia chuckled, which made Loraine dumbfounded. “Well, Lady Shu... you seem to have forgotten something.” Anxia walked closer to Loraine, making the woman swallow nervously. “I am not your innocent child, who will believe everything you say. Just try to prevent me from meeting my boy or put a wound in his heart,” Anxia brought her face close to the woman’s face and whispered into her ear. “I’ll slit your throat myself and let you die slowly.”

Instantly Loraine’s face became deathly pale, accompanied by intense tremors all over her body. She felt like her body was splashed with cold water, shivering all over her body, and her knees felt weak like jelly.

“You know what I can do, don’t you? After all, you’ve been watching over me for a dozen years. Surely, you know I once tried to kill my fetus.” Anxia pulled back her face and smiled with satisfaction seeing the deathly pale expression on the woman’s face.

“You can hold Elliot as long as you want, but be prepared… I will ensure you die in my hands when I lose my mind. You know what I mean, don’t you?” Anxia turned her body to leave the room, but her steps stopped because she had forgotten something.

“Ah, one more thing. Underestimating the will of a girl like me is your biggest mistake. My threats also apply to you… Song Lei.” she continued without looking back before walking out triumphantly.

Loraine slumped down in her chair while Song Lei came out from behind the glass case as soon as Anxia left.

“How… how did she know you were here?”

“I underestimated her abilities. I had no idea she was even aware of my existence.”

“Then… Then… what should we do? She… she doesn’t joke around with her threats.”

“She was bluffing. She would never hurt you―her own mother.”

“Didn’t you see the way she was looking at me? She doesn’t even call me mother anymore!” Loraine could no longer contain her fear… afraid that she would lose her neck. “She… that child… that child…” Loraine couldn’t finish her sentence when her hands groped her neck as if protecting herself from someone’s attack.

“She still believes you are her mother. What are you afraid of?”

“No. You don’t understand… her gaze… the way she approached me… exactly the same as that woman… Loraine… that woman is dead! I saw it with my own eyes?! Why does she have to haunt me through her daughter!?”

Right when the fake Loraine screamed, Anxia’s steps stopped, and her jaw tightened hearing this.

So... her birth mother had really gone?

Anxia lowered her head and stared blankly at the floor at her feet. Somehow she did not shed tears at all when she heard this news. She felt she had just heard that her neighbor had left the world, which did not affect her heart.

Could it be because her relationship with the fake Loraine had tainted the image of a mother in her memories? Or maybe she had prepared herself since a long ago that she lost a mother. Anxia didn’t know the answer either.

But now she was convinced... that the woman who claimed to be Loraine Shu was not her mother but her archenemy.

“Shh! Lower your voice. Do you want to make people suspect you? No one knows that you are not Loraine Shu but the two of us. Never bring up this matter again.”

Song Lei warned the woman in an orderly tone, making Anxia want to laugh inwardly.

Unfortunately for the both of them, Anxia had installed a bug under ‘Loraine’s’ desk when Anxia approached the woman. Now… all conversations between Loraine and Song Lei or anyone else could be heard by Anxia.
