Chapter 129: Chapter 129

“Why don’t you come to me?” Alastor’s voice echoed.

The humiliation felt like razor-sharp knives cutting through Anastasia repeatedly, and she lost count of how many cuts she had received. Like going through a torture session, her body was in excruciating pain.

Just when she was about to collapse, Alastor came out from the dinner hall.

He stood not far from Anastasia and stared at her greedily.

Anastasia lifted her gaze towards Alastor, but she no longer had the strength to stand upright.

Everyone else was watching the absurd scene for their amusement. To them, what had transpired was nothing more than a joke, and the individuals involved had become laughingstocks.

“Why isn’t anyone entering the hall?” Alastor asked in a deep voice.

Of course, he knew these people were belittling Anastasia, but he didn’t utter a word to support her.

“Alastor…” Felicia rushed toward Alastor and took his hand.

As the onlookers gazed, Alastor didn’t push Felicia away. This action was a confirmation of the gossip they had heard.

It didn’t matter if Felicia was a mistress or not. Now, she was acknowledged by Alastor and had his support.

Anastasia was the loser.

Alastor looked at Anastasia with a gloomy face as if he wanted her to say something. He was hoping that she would beg him.

“All of you, please leave.” When Lionel saw Alastor was unhappy, he hurriedly requested the security guards to evacuate the crowd.

Those who watched the show became even more certain that Anastasia and Alastor had experienced a complete fallout.

“Such a woman will never have a good ending.” They had come to a conclusion.

It was clear. No one would attend Anastasia’s art exhibition. Those who had gone before would never go again. At least those who were at the dinner party today wouldn’t go.

“Why?” Anastasia asked in a hoarse voice.

She lacked the strength even to clench her fists. “Why are you doing this to me?”

Anastasia was trembling.

She just wanted to know why Alastor was humiliating her like this.

She didn’t understand what she had done wrong.

Even though Alastor didn’t trust her and was angry with her schemes, she had already complied with his demands. She had attempted every possible means to divorce him. What more did he want?

“You owe me…” Alastor said.

“I owe him?” This thought flashed through her mind.

“What do I owe you?” Anastasia asked in a trembling voice “Alastor, she’s officially announced her relationship with that slumdog. Why don’t t lost,” inore her?” Felicia quickly said.

Alastor withdrew his arm from Felicia’s, his gaze at her turning frigid. “Get lost,” he said sharply.

Felicia panicked. She looked at Alastor nervously and then turned her gaze The assistant exchanged a glance with Felicia, signaling her to leave first. Felicia thought, ‘At this moment, Alastor is furious.

to Lionel.

I’ve achieved what I want. As long as Anastasia fails to stage a comeback, I’ll have the chance to marry Moreover, Anastasia’s child is gone.

Alastor.

For two commoners like Anastasia and Jason without any reliable family background, they can’t threaten me at all.’ With these thoughts, Felicia left.

“Is it because of the child? Or is it because I’m promiscuous?” Anastasia could guess what was bothering Alastor.

Before she had the “abortion,” there was some restraint in how Alastor treated her.

But now, he was doing everything he could to humiliate and crush her. She managed to choke out the words, “Wasn’t it you, the one who didn’t want the baby? Wasn’t it you… the one who said you don’t like kids? Wasn’t it you… the one who wanted me to have an abortion?”

“You used every means to get pregnant and used that as a threat against me. And then, you terminated the pregnancy without any hesitation. That was a living being. Is the child nothing to you?

Am I nothing to you?” Alastor demanded, losing control of his emotions as he tightly grabbed Anastasia’s wrist.

At the very beginning, he had made it clear that he would not have children, and Anastasia agreed with him.

Alastor didn’t care which method she used to get pregnant with his child. For him, he had mustered all the courage he had, trying to have the child and be a good father.

However, to exact revenge on his mother and him, Anastasia gave up the child without hesitating.

Anastasia felt excruciating pain in her wrists, and her eyes turned red. However, she held back her tears.

“You announced your relationship with Jason before our divorce. Anastasia… You are much crueler than me.” Alastor’s voice trembled as well.

“Ha…” Anastasia smirked bitterly.

It was ironic because he forbade her from doing what he had been doing himself. “You’re the one who forbids me from announcing our divorce, yet you’re also the one who jumps at the first chance to publicize our divorce agreement. Moreover, you’re the one who leaves me defenseless when everyone attacks me on social media…”

Alastor had destroyed her completely.
