NovelEnglishChapter 458
Gianna casually poured herself a glass of lemonade and said, "Grannie Anita can't stand Anastasia. She thinks
the kid isn't a real Salstrom and bribed the nanny to slip something into her food."
"My goodness," Cynthia gasped, eyes wide in shock. "That Grannie Anita is heartless. By the way, is the kid
really a Salstrom?"
Gianna shrugged, "Whether it is or not doesn't matter anymore. Anastasia nearly lost her womb. If she wants
kids in the future, it's going to be like climbing Mount Everest. | can tell she holds a grudge against the
Salstroms." Cynthia sat down, slowly processing this bombshell, and said, "From what you're saying, things don't
look good for them."
Gianna smirked, "Mom, what do you think a strong-willed woman like Anastasia will do next?"
Cynthia looked at Gianna, puzzled, "What is Anastasia going to do?"
Gianna sneered, "Anastasia is tough. Grannie Anita basically killed her child. She won't let it slide. Just wait, once
Anastasia is out of the hospital, the Salstrom family is in for a storm."

Cynthia, surprised, asked, "Is Anastasia going to make Grannie Anita pay with her life?"
Gianna, with a smile, replied, "Why not?"
Cynthia responded, "But wouldn't that completely destroy her relationship with the Salstrom family?"
"Isn't that perfect?" Gianna said, tugging at her red lips. "If she doesn't fall from the Salstrom's grace, how can
others rise?"
Cynthia found Gianna's manner strange today, her words even stranger.
Cynthia gave Gianna a careful look, "Gianna, you and Anastasia used to be so close, like two peas in a pod. Now
that she's lost her child, you seem... happy."
Gianna countered with a cold laugh, "Mom, haven't you always been tired of Aunt Salma outshining you? Don't
you resent them living better lives than us?"
This left Cynthia speechless.
She was indeed jealous of Salma. The once inferior Salma had beca member of the elite as a mother-in-law.
How could she stand it?
Gianna took a sip of her drink, stood up, and said, "Herman is such a perfect man. Many women want to be with
him. Now, if Anastasia pushes him away, you can't blothers for seizing the opportunity." Cynthia caught the
drift and was shocked, "Gianna, you have feelings for Mr. Salstrom?"
Gianna replied, "Why not?"
Cynthia was stunned, "When did you start liking Herman?"
"Mom, if | could marry into the elite, wouldn't you benefit too?" Gianna said. "Herman and Anastasia are at a
delicate point. Rather than letting others seize the opportunity, why not keep the benefits within our own
family?" Gianna was ambitious. She always had been, but with Anastasia losing her child, her desire intensified.
She wasn't satisfied with just silently admiring him anymore. She wanted to stand by his side, legitimate and
dignified.
Cynthia was initially frightened, but the thought of her daughter marrying into the elite and gaining prestige
excited her.

After Gianna's marriage fell apart, Cynthia couldn't hold her head high in front of relatives and friends and
always heard whispers behind her back.
Cynthia asked seriously, "Gianna, how confident are you? My daughter is just as beautiful and in better shape
than Anastasia. Your mom supports you."
Gianna replied, "We'll see. Mom, I'm going to rest. When you have time, you should comfort Aunt Salma. We
need to keep up appearances."
Cynthia nodded, "I understand. I'll try to find out more about Anastasia and Herman's situation."
Back in her room, Gianna took out a handkerchief Herman had given her, closed her eyes, and smelled it. She
pictured Herman's handsface, and her love for him grew stronger. At the hospital.
Anastasia spent her days and nights crying. When she was awake, Herman didn't dare approach her. Only when
she fell asleep did he enter the room, quietly watching over her.
In truth, Anastasia knew Herman was there even when she was half asleep. She just pretended not to know.
She couldn't face Herman, couldn't face the Salstroms.
Her child had been murdered by Grannie Anita.
Her heart was filled with hatred.
