Chapter 440 The Reason Is Found Out
"I heard from Nadia about the matter between you and Jaylon when I was abroad."
Hearing that, Reina lowered her head and looked at her hands on her knees in a daze. "Ana, will you look down upon me?" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Reina would never forget those shameful days she had spent abroad for the rest of her life.
Even though she brought that shame on herself.
Anaya shook her head. "You had no choice back then. I have never experienced your life. I don't know what decision I would make in that situation, but I probably wouldn't be any better."
Adams provided Anaya with generous living conditions so that she didn't have to worry about these things. But it wasn't like she didn't understand what it meant by "had no choice".
Anaya continued to ask, "Can you tell me the current status of you and my brother?"
Reina did not answer. After quite a while, she slowly opened her mouth and told Anaya everything about her and Jaylon.
Reina had never dared to tell Anaya about her and Jaylon before. It was just because she was afraid that Anaya would look down upon her for her past.
Now that Anaya had known about her relationship with Jaylon abroad, she had nothing to hide from Anaya.
Anaya quietly listened to Reina. The more she heard, the gloomier her face became.
Anaya could never imagine that Jaylon spread rumors about him and Reina in Riven Group to force Reina to quit. Later, he forbade Reina from getting in touch with her first love, forced her to quit her job for a second time, and took it for granted to bring up the matter of keeping Reina many times...
Anaya thought, so what is the difference between Jaylon and Joshua?
Jaylon wants to get both women he wanted, too.
There is no such a good thing!
It was not until Reina finished speaking that Anaya asked in a deep voice, "Have you thought about what to do?"
Reina replied, "I've asked someone to help me get a fake passport. I am supposed to receive it tomorrow. I plan to go abroad right after I get it."
Knowing that Reina already had her plan, Anaya was a little relieved, "Okay. If you need my help in any special situation, feel free to let me know."
Anaya did not like Jaylon's way of doing things. Even if that was her brother, she would not stand on his side.
After sending Reina home, Hearst drove Anaya back home.
They had been staying in the new house prepared before the wedding. But tonight, they returned to the Malpas' house because of the matter with Jaylon.
When they arrived, Jaylon had been covered in many wounds. There were bruises on his face, and his white shirt was cut open, like lash marks.
Anaya just glanced at it, and her eyes were covered by Hearst's hands.
"Don't look. It's easy to miseducate a child."
Anaya was stunned.
"Do I look like a child?"
Hearst shifted his gaze to Anaya's chest. "You have grown a lot recently, but
what I'm referring to is that it's not good for the baby in your belly."
Anaya realized that Hearst was making a dirty joke. She kicked him angrily and removed his hands.
"The horror movie I watched is more terrifying than this. It's fine."
Anaya said and once again fixed her eyes on Jaylon.
Jaylon had stood up from the floor. Carlee stood next to Jaylon with her face full of anger, still lecturing.
In the face of Carlee's reprimand, Jaylon remained an indifferent expression on his face. He seemed to have not felt the pain in his body at all and stood straight upright like a strong and proud pine tree in the snow.
His angular handsome face was stained with blood, very manly.
Jaylon did not speak until Carlee finished lecturing, "I have discussed with the Hornsby family that the engagement ceremony will be held in Canada in ten days. Remember to come with Dad."
After that, he added indifferently, "Of course, it's fine if you don't come."
Just then, the door of the room next to the living room was pushed open, and Leonard walked out with a baseball bat. He pointed it at Jaylon. "Say it again. Check out whether I will beat you to death or not!"
Anaya did not realize until then that the wounds on Leonard were worse
than the ones on Jaylon.
It was obvious that just now, it was a father and son exchanging blows, but not Leonard's family rules education.
What Anaya had to say was that the family style of the Malpas family was a
bit wild.
Jaylon repeated what he said just now in a calm and deep voice.
However, Leonard did not beat Jaylon again.
It was not because he could not bear to hit his son. The main reason was
that he was not a match for Jaylon now.
"If you dare to marry Nadia, don't enter the Malpas' house anymore! I did
not give birth to a heartless man like you!"
Jaylon said calmly, "The house you live in now is mine, and so is the manor
in Canada."
It meant that it was not up to Leonard nor Carlee whether he could enter
the Malpas' house or not.
Leonard almost died of anger at his son. "Get out of here!"
This was Jaylon's home, but Leonard was on the boil. So Jaylon had to
quietly leave.
Walking out of the house, Jaylon received a call.
It was a call from his subordinate.
"What's up?"
"Mr. Malpas, we found out the reason why Mr. Webb went to see Ms.
Harward today..."
After Jaylon left, Leonard angrily threw the baseball bat to the floor and
sighed heavily, "What an unfilial son!"
He actually dared to hit me! Leonard complained in his mind.
Anaya thought that Leonard was still worried about Reina. She said, "Mom
and Dad, Reina told me today that she would find a way to leave Jaylon. Don't worry about it anymore."
Carlee asked, "Does she have an idea? Does she need any help from us?"
"She has arranged it herself. I've told her to contact me if she meets any difficulties."
Carlee heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Jaylon usually does things quite
steadily. I thought that he could do nothing too wrong. Who would expect that he was making a big mistake?
It's just that Reina is pitiful. She is being controlled by Jaylon like this. She
probably has suffered a lot.
"We'll have to properly compensate that child when we get the chance."
Anaya nodded and said, "When she is settled down, I will arrange for her."
Carlee said a few more words and then helped Leonard to apply the medication.
It was late. Anaya and Hearst simply stayed in the Malpas' house.
After washing up and getting in bed, Anaya grabbed a bedtime book to read
to kill time.
Recently, she had been working during the day and always facing the
computer.
Most of the time after returning home, to reduce the use of electronic equipment, she read books to pass time.
Hearst returned to the bed, and Anaya naturally leaned on his shoulder.
"Jared, what do you think about Jaylon's matter?"
Hearst wrapped his arm around Anaya's shoulder, pulled her closer to him,
and said lightly, "He was ruthless to hit back your dad."
Anaya pinched him on the waist and said, "Be serious." Hearst grabbed Anaya's hand and casually play with it. "Jaylon is anxious to
win. He has never lost since he was young.
"Although he says that he doesn't want to compete with Prudential Group
anymore, he is actually secretly competing with me and trying to outdo me in one go.
"He probably won't give up the marriage with the Hornsby family, no matter
what."
Anaya put the book on her lap and asked, "Do you think that compared to Reina, he wants the marriage with the Hornsby family even more?"
"Not really," Hearst analyzed unhurriedly, "After all, he has a way to have
both. He might even not know what is more important for him in his heart.
"If we can create a condition that he can only choose one out of two, he
might be able to make the decision he wants the most and give up on the other."
