On the way home. Anastasia received Feliciaâs WhatsApp messages.
[Anastasia. Iâm sorry to tell you this. It was not my intention to reveal the news of your divorce today. I just donât want to see Alastor belittled any longer because of you.
Youâve been married for four years, and Alastor has been criticized for four years. Alastor never told you anything about these things.
He even gave up many opportunities because of you.
Alastor may not love you, but he had done what he was supposed to do as a husband.
Anastasia, we all have feelings. I hope you donât hate him and ruin his career. Just part on good terms, all right?
Iâm begging you.]
Felicia sent her a lengthy message.
The lengthy message mainly served to guilt-trip her.
It was probably because she had revealed Feliciaâs slander to Zachary today and scared Felicia.
In any case, this was the first time Felicia had communicated with her directly.
Anastasia laughed resignedly. She looked at the night outside the window and thought. This is human nature.
Itâs human nature to flatter those above while trampling on those below, bullying the weak.
Ignoring Felicia, Anastasia guessed that Felicia would flip out at her again after Zacharyâs incident. She just needed to wait quietly.
Felicia wanted most to get Anastasia not only divorced, but also to have an âAnastasiaâ¦â Jason called her name softly after he brought Anastasia home.
Anastasia looked back at Jason. She didnât know what he was going to say.
Jason raised his hand to rub her hair and smiled at her.
Anastasia used to do that for Jace.
Jace sometimes resisted, saying it felt like she was petting a stray.
âDonât be afraid. Just do whatever you want. Iâll always be here for you.â
Anastasiaâs body stiffened, and she clenched her fingers tightly.
He had always been there for her.
abortion.
He had always been quietly protecting Anastasia in his own way, out of her sight.
Anastasiaâs eyes turned red. She got out of the car and walked home without saying anything.
Jasonâs headlights kept shining on the road ahead. Only after Anastasia entered the house did he finally turn around and leave.
When the lights were gone, Anastasia couldnât contain her emotions, so she hid in a corner and cried for a long time.
Everything is different now.
âDid he bring you back?â
In the bedroom on the second floor, Alastor stood by the large window, looking out of it. His voice is cold. The time he returned was unknown.
He probably saw Jason send Anastasia back and Anastasia hiding in the yard while crying for a long time.
âArenât you happy with him? Why did you cry?â Alastor turned around and looked at Anastasia. âOr are you reluctant to leave everything you have now?â
Anastasia was a little tired, and Alastorâs questions gave her a headache.
1 âAnastasia, you secretly contacted a private investigator and a lawyer behind my back to sort out the share transfer agreement⦠Youâre so thorough.â Alastor said coldly, and his eyes became colder when he looked at Anastasia.
âIs using Feliciaâs loose tongue to make Zachary cut off cooperation with the company today also part of your revenge?â
Alastor had obviously discovered something new.
Anastasia didnât deny it.
She had indeed done everything Alastor said.
âI had no idea the woman Iâd been married to for four years and who slept beside me was a viperâ
Alastor laughed sarcastically, stood up straight, and walked to Anastasia. âWhen did you start setting me up? On the day of the blind date? Or is it on the day of the blitz marriage?â
Anastasia remained silent.
âAnastasia, judging by the way you treat Meredith and Sienna, you are really cruel.â Alastor pointed to Anastasiaâs heart. âI wish I could open this place and see if you have a heart of stoneâ
Anastasia smiled weakly. Alastor was quite capable and could find out everything.
But why couldnât he discover what her stepmother Meredith and her brother Harold had done to her?
Well, that incident was very well hidden by Zeke. Moreover, Alastor was not at all interested in her experiences and past.
Since he did not love her, there was no favoritism.
âOr perhaps, have you and Jace been plotting for a long time to dupe me into marriage, so you can get everything you want out of it and avoid living as poor as beggars?â Alastorâs words were harsh and unpleasant.
âAnastasia, what I gave you is charity. But you schemed, and I can make you lose everything.â Alastor used the influence of alcohol to vent and forced Anastasia into the corner.
Anastasia averted her gaze, her eyes red-rimmed.
When she came to this world, she had nothing. What did it matter if she was going to die?
Alastor held Anastasiaâs chin and surprisingly tried to kiss her.
Anastasia didnât think this was Alastor lusting after her. It was pure venting and humiliation.
âArmastasia, I really underestimated you⦠Upon seeing Anastasia dodging. Alastor grew angrier.
âCould it be that those men can do anything as long as they give you money? You are ruthless to everyone, but youâre very dedicated to Jace.â
She thought, âGive my feelings to one person and use schemes and my body to swindle others out of their money?
Hehâ¦.
Should I say this kind of woman has a big heart, or should I say she is heartless?â
âYou disgust meâ¦â Anastasia pushed Alastor away, her voice trembling.
âWhat about you? So filthyâ¦â Alastor pulled open Anastasiaâs shirt and said in a hoarse voice.
Anastasia suddenly understood why he didnât touch her much over the years.
Sure enough, he thought she was filthy.
