Chapter 44: Chapter 44

“Anastasia, I have a bottom line in my tolerance and the guilt I feel toward you,” said Alastor, who was obviously reluctant to waste time playing mind games with Anastasia.

“All right. I’m looking forward to seeing what methods you will use to deal with me,” said Anastasia stubbornly as she shook off Alastor’s arm and left.

Alastor kicked the car door in frustration and pulled at his tie “Anastasia! Jason has a criminal record and had gone to a juvenile detention center, shouted Alastor furiously.

It was clear that he wanted to use this to threaten Anastasia.

Anastasia stopped in her tracks as her eyes stung with tears, and her body stiffened.

Alastor was threatening her by using Jason.

During the past four years, Alastor had been indifferent and respectful to her. He never got angry with her or threatened her to do anything.

Now, in order to force her to divorce respectably, he was willing to use any means and hurt her feelings over and over again.

“Jason is a loose cannon without any family background. How about I let him disappear from Hork?”

said Alastor as he leaned against the door and lir a cigarette, his voice hoarse and low.

Anastasia knew without any doubt that Alastor had the ability to do what he said.

“When did Jason enter the juvenile detention center?” asked Anastasia as she rasped out a hot breath.

That day at the bar, the general manager said that someone had made an anonymous report that Jason had been in a juvenile detention center and he had resigned for fear of causing trouble for the bar.

“Six years ago,” said Alastor as he looked up at Anastasia.

Anastasia felt a sharp, stabbing pain in her heart.

Six years ago… It was when Jace disappeared.

The young man who barged into her life disappeared suddenly, and she hadn’t heard anything more from him after that.

“What do you want…” asked Anastasia. Her face and lips had turned pale.

Alastor’s heart tightened inexplicably. He subconsciously stepped forward and tried to support Anastasia, but she avoided him “Accompany me to visit Grandma, and don’t give anything away.” demanded Alastor. He was asking Anastasia to accompany him home and play along with him.

“What about after that?” Anastasia looked up and asked Alastor.

“Until Grandma passes away, you need to play your role well,’ said Alastor, Alastor meant they would wait until Grandma Andrea passed away before getting a divorce certificate.

But after signing the divorce agreement, she only needed to continue to play her role as Mrs. Lopez well/

She could not interfere with Alastor and Felicia’s lives.

“Then, shouldn’t you ask your first crush to restrain herself, Alastor? You’d better ask her to keep a low profile,” retorted Anastasia “That’s the kind of person she is.” Alastor frowned and explained.

“Ich…” Anastasia as she lowered her head and smiled weakly.

That was the kind of person she was. All she needed to do was stand there and not change anything about herself.

-And Anastasia was the one who needed to hold back and accommodate her.

All because she wasn’t the one Alastor loved.

“Regarding Grandma Andrea, even if you didn’t say it, I won’t say anything to trigger her. I thought you would understand the kind of person I am… Anastasia said weakly again, “My conditions remain unchanged. You can either give me the company shares or sign an agreement saying that you will not get a registration of marriage with Felicia in this lifetime.” Anastasia had her own perseverance. Since Alastor wasn’t allowing her to live happily, Anastasia wouldn’t let Felicia live a comfortable life either.

The mistress was the other woman, and she wanted Felicia to be a disgrace for the rest of her life.

“As for Jason, I have nothing to do with him. Whatever you do to him has nothing to do with me,” said Anastasia.

Anastasia stepped back and continued. “I will visit Grandma Andrea later. I refuse to sit in your car because I find disgusting.”

Alastor’s expression darkened, but he also knew that while Anastasia was a gentle person, she could be really stubborn.

Felicia deliberately left these things in the car. No matter how gentle Anastasia was, it was normal for her to get angry.

Alastor rubbed his temple as he called Lionel and said, “Come to the parking lot and clean up the car.

“Mr. Lopez, what’s wrong… with the car? Lionel asked nervously.

Alastor, who was getting irritated, scolded, “Why are you asking so many nonsensical questions?”

“Yes, Mr. Lopez,” said Lionel.

Before she realized it, Anastasia had unintentionally come to Penelope’s house in Harewood Lane.

She hesitated for a long time at the door and turned to leave.

She was scared and trying to run away from the truth.

“Annie, called out Penelope softly from the yard.

Anastasia turned around and smiled nervously as she greeted, “Grandma Penelope, it’s been a long time since I came to see you. How are you?”

“I’m fine. I’m doing really well,” said Penelope as she smiled and motioned Anastasia to enter the house.

“Grandma Penelope… Is Jace here?” Anastasia asked as she glanced around and found that Jason was not there.

“Jace?” said Penelope as she thought for a while. “Do you mean Jason?”

Anastasia nodded numbly.

Penelope said as she shook her head. “But Jason is not Jace.”

Anastasia was stunned and looked at Penelope in shock as she asked, “Jason… is not Jace? But…

But that day, Jason obviously asked her if he was too late.
