Chapter 405

Monica was a force to be reckoned with, undefeated in verbal battles.

Grannie Anita was so livid. She shot up from her seat. “Anastasia, what kind of company are you keeping? Birds of a feather flock together, indeed.”

Anastasia frowned, “Grannie Anita, you’ve never liked me and you’re always nitpicking. The best situation for us is for you to stop interfering and for me not to be a thorn in your side. My daughter needs rest. Please leave.”

Anastasia stood her ground, refusing to be belittled by Grannie Anita. Arguing further would only make her look like the bad person – a young girl bullying an elderly woman. The best approach was to stop bothering each other.

“Anastasia, you’re trying to drive me out, aren’t you? How ill-mannered!” Grannie Anita quivered, pointing at Anastasia. “I’m calling Herman right now to show him what kind of

woman you are.’

Salma tried to mediate, “Anita, calm down. Ana isn’t trying to chase you away. We can talk about this outside. If there’s something Ana has done wrong, I’ll correct her.”

Grannie Anita scoffed, “What a performance. No wonder my grandson fell for you.”

Anastasia was at a loss for words at Grannie Anita’s wild accusations. There was no

reasoning with her.

Just then, Katelyn and Feiman came to visit Pattie and heard Grannie Anita’s voice at the. hospital room door. “What are you doing here?” Katelyn asked as she hurried inside.

Feiman was just as surprised. “Mom, are you here to see Anastasia?”

Grannie Anita was too proud to visit Anastasia, but she had asked Feiman privately a few times. Still angry, Grannie Anita said, “Son, you’re just in time. Let this woman explain how she’s been fooling us all along.”

Feiman, confused, looked at Anastasia, then Grannie Anita. “Mom, what’s going on?”

Katelyn was also curious – what was Grannie Anita ranting about now?

Grannie Anita pointed at Pattie with her cane. “This child is Anastasia’s biological daughter. She’s been playing a long game, hiding her premarital pregnancy and adopting Pattie. Now she claims Pattie is her biological daughter. Isn’t this deception? This must have been planned!”

“What?” Katelyn and Feiman were both shocked. Pattie was Anastasia’s biological daughter? Looking at Pattie, they both had to admit she bore a striking resemblance to Anastasia.

Anastasia decided to be honest. “I just found out this morning. I haven’t had the chance to

tell you yet, not because I wanted to hide it.”

Katelyn asked, “Does Herman know about this?”

Anastasia nodded.

Katelyn and Feiman exchanged glances, unsure of what to say. They had known that Anastasia had a child before, and they liked Pattic, but this sudden change of roles left them feeling a mix of emotions. It was not something that anyone could accept easily,

Monica noticed their reaction and said, “Katelyn, Feiman, Anastasia isn’t well. She’s pregnant with your grandchild, Pattie isn’t Herman’s child, but the unborn baby is his.”

Monica was reminding them that whatever decision they made, they had to consider the child Anastasia was carrying. After all, it was Herman’s first child.

Katelyn and Feiman looked at each other; as the elders, they really didn’t know what to say. It all depended on how they chose to see the situation.

Feiman didn’t bring up Pattie’s matter again but asked, “Where’s Herman?”

Anastasia replied, “He mentioned something about having to go to Eagle Corporation.”

Feiman’s face paled at the mention of Eagle Corporation.
