Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 264

"Can you spare us a few minutes?" asked Natali.
Anya's face immediately changed. She knew Natali was deliberately talking about her family problems in front of everyone to embarrass her, but she didn't want to embarrass Aiden in front of the guests.
If she let Natali continue talking, Natali would deliberately announce that Anya was taking advantage of her father's illness to kick her stepmother and her stepsister from the house.
"I'll be back soon," Anya led Natali to a slightly remote corner.
After a few steps, Natali brushed off Anya's hand. "Anya, I thought you weren't afraid of anything. How dare you do something so shameful and hide it in front of the crowd,"
"I don't want anyone to misunderstand. Your current house is my mother's property. You lived in that house for free for many years. I don't want to lose it and I won't let you use it and sell it," Anya sneered.
"The house was a gift from my father because of my brother's death. That's for my brother's life. Anya, didn't you tell Aiden why you and your mother left the house after the divorce?" Natali said. "If I told Aiden what you did to my brother, would he still want to be with you?"
"Are you threatening me?" Anya looked coldly at Natali. She understood what Natali was saying.
"Yes, I threatened you. The house has been given to us and belongs to us. If you insist on taking the house back, don't blame me if I reveal your rotten behavior," Natali said, raising her head.
"Just say it. I've felt worse. I've also been beaten by your father and mother. The letters from the hospital are still there. Even if something happened to your mother, I did it to protect myself," Anya said indifferently.
She wasn't afraid of anything because Aiden already knew everything. There was nothing she needed to hide from Aiden.
Aiden's lawyer had told her that if Natali's unborn brother's death and Mona's miscarriage came to light, Anya only needed to show that she was injured too. She was beaten and abused. To escape the torment and save her life, Mona accidentally had an accident.

Diana loved Anya so much that she immediately took her daughter to the hospital to be treated as soon as she saved her from the Tedjasukmana family.
All of these incidents were clearly marked, including what kind of wounds Deny and Mona inflicted on Anya's body.
Anya had prepared everything beforehand, so she wasn't afraid that Natali would threaten her.
"Okay, just watch. I will destroy you. You will not be able to marry Aiden and become part of the Atmajaya Family. You can only dream!" Natali sneered.
"Natali, do you think I don't know anything? I know three years ago you took the check. You ordered someone to rob me when you found out the money was money to save my mother. You are so abominable. You purposely set me up with Aiden. I have to thank you for changing my destiny. Otherwise, I will never be able to face you like this."
After saying that, Anya looked at Aiden who was not far from her. She saw Raisa who was talking to Aiden. "Only that stupid girl thinks you are a friend. Even though you only use her. You ordered someone to kill my plant and slander Raisa. But she foolishly defends you. Doesn't your conscience hurt when you take advantage of those who believe in you?"
Natali was shocked to hear this. She did not think Anya would know everything.
But a second later, she pretended to remain calm. "I don't understand what you are talking about?"
"It's true, isn't it? Do you really don't understand or are you pretending not to understand? If Raka knows what kind of person you are, will he still want to be with you?" Anya said sarcastically.
"You…You deliberately want to separate me and Raka. He won't believe you!" Natali said confidently.
"Are you sure? You can fool someone for a while, but for good?" Anya said. She continued to look at Aiden. "What are you and Raisa planning right now?"

"Anya, don't make it up. Do you think everyone has evil plans like you?" Natali said with a sweet smile.
"Don't let me find out you are up to something. I am not afraid of you," Anya did not want to talk to Natali anymore. She turned and walked over to her husband.
Natali saw Aiden holding a wine glass from a distance. It made her smile arrogantly.
For some reason, Anya's intuition told her something was wrong with the wine glass.
Natali called her not to fight with her, but to buy time so that Raisa could approach Aiden.
She had felt Natali's medication before. So that she could guess, it was likely that there was medicine mixed in Aiden's wine glass.
Realizing this, Anya slightly lifted her skirt and ran towards Aiden.
Not knowing what Aiden and Raisa were talking about, Anya ran over to them. When Aiden's lips touched the wine glass, Anya immediately shouted loud. "AIDEN!"
Hearing Anya's scream, Aiden immediately turned his head and looked at her. Seeing his wife in such a hurry, Aiden was immediately worried. He thought Natali had done something to Anya.
He immediately put down his wine glass and approached Anya. His hand reached out to hold Anya's and a worried look appeared on his face. "What's wrong?"
"I ... I'm fine," Anya said breathlessly. She stared at the wine glass put down by Aiden.
Aiden followed Anya's line of sight and looked back, his face became suspicious. "Is there something wrong with my wine?"
"I don't know," Anya shook her head. Natali called me but she didn't say anything other than wanting to fight with me. I feel like she's up to something."
Raisa felt very angry. Just a little bit more, a little bit more and Aiden would be hers!
But Anya messed up everything…
Plus, after hearing Anya's words, Raisa knew that Anya was suspicious of her.
Raisa sneered, "Anya, this is the Atmajaya Family. All food and drinks are provided by the Atmajaya Family. Do you mean what the Atmajaya Family gave us is not safe?"
"That's not what I meant ..." Anya looked nervously at Aiden.
"I heard that today's birthday party was prepared by Ms. Maria. Even if Uncle Bima doesn't accept your existence, you shouldn't accuse him," When Raisa said that, she continued to glance at Aiden's wine glass anxiously.
At that moment, a waiter came to clear the table. He took several glasses of wine, including Aiden's, onto the tray.
"Wait a minute," Aiden immediately stopped the waiter.
"Yes sir? What can I do for you?" the servant rushed over to him.
"Bring me that glass that's still full," said Aiden in a creepy voice.
The servant didn't know why, but he obeyed Aiden's order anyway. When the servant approached Aiden, Raisa put her foot forward and tackled the waiter's leg.
The servant fell on the floor. The wine glass he was carrying broke into pieces and the wine inside immediately spilled onto the floor.
"Sir, I'm sorry! I'll clean it up immediately!" The servant panicked and didn't dare accuse Raisa of tackling him. After all, all the guests present at the venue were important people.
Raisa thought Aiden was blind and couldn't see her.
But Aiden's eyesight was sharp. He could see all of Raisa's movements, even the smallest one.
Anya crouched on the floor and took one of the broken glass beside her feet. After smelling the scent of wine lingering on the broken glass, her expression immediately changed. She was looking sure of something.
"I can smell the same scent of the medicine that Natali put in my drink before."
