Chapter 893 Help You, Of Course

These words tugged at Tanya’s heartstrings. She pondered momentarily and said somberly, “I’ll consider it.” When Tanya said this, Maeve knew that she had decided to take action. But Maeve could not predict what Tanya was going to do exactly. In the next second, Tanya’s phone started ringing. Maeve looked over reflexively and saw that the caller was Chiara. A strange emotion gleamed in her eyes, and she looked away. She remained seated, picked up her cutlery, and kept eating. Tanya answered the call wordlessly. Before she said anything, Chiara’s voice rang through the speaker. “Ms. Cullen, you must have seen the message I sent you. Have you fact-checked it?” Tanya said calmly, “And what are you up to?” Chiara chuckled. “I want to help you, of course.” Tanya furrowed her brows and said nothing. But Chiara went on with a chuckle. “You know what I’d done in the past, so I lost my chance with Michael. Now, I just want to stop Ivanka from hurting him.” Tanya remained silent, as if she was considering the validity of what Chiara had just said. But Chiara was impatient, so she said, “I’m sure you know whether it’s real or not. You also know that it’s no longer possible for me to get back together with Michael. So, I’ll wait for you at you-know-where at 3 p.m. If you don’t show up, it means that you don’t trust me, and there’s no point for us to talk again. But if you do, then we can meet up and discuss further.” With that, Chiara hung up before Tanya even replied. Tanya frowned and put down her phone. Then, she turned her eyes on Maeve. “You heard what she said. What do you think of this?” Maeve’s eyes glinted with intrigue. She swallowed her food and said softly, “I think… Chiara was telling the truth? After all, she had tricked and used Michael before. If he is still grateful to her, then he must be an idiot.” Tanya did not reply. Maeve added, “I sense that Chiara hates Ivanka. She thinks that Michael can be with anyone but Ivanka. If you don’t work with her, she’ll find someone else and set that person up with Michael. She seems… prepared. Since she is willing to help just about anyone, why don’t you take up her offer? However, I’m not sure if Chiara will take things to the extreme again. She might use you and sabotage your chance with him. She might just set out to ruin everyone’s chance.” “She’s not that gutsy.” Tanya seemed composed. Maeve nodded. “True. The Lanes are having a difficult time right now. They only live off the mercy of Barkworth’s Group. If she crosses you, she will make herself an enemy of Cullen’s Group, which is not good for the Lanes.” Tanya agreed silently. Maeve smiled. “Since she dares not play games with you, you can perhaps try working with her. Why don’t I accompany you to the meetup?” Tanya nodded. “Sure.” Maeve smiled again. “Let’s keep eating. The food is getting cold.”
