Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 70

The mansion located in the middle of the lake was beautiful. The scenery and surrounding environment were impressive

too.

It was like a closed island surrounded by the lake, giving Anastasia the sense of security she wanted.

After getting out onto the balcony on the second floor, Anastasia gazed up at the dark sky filled with twinkling stars.

“It’s so beautiful.” Anastasia could not help praising. She wondered who the owner of such a house was. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

*From the aesthetic point of view, the house owner should be a very stylish person,” Anastasia said softly as she glanced at Jason. “Actually, a simple painting can be placed in the activity room on the second floor. It’s not needed anywhere else. Putting too many will affect the perfection instead.”

Jason nodded. “Okay.”

“Jason, Grandma is going to undergo surgery. When are you leaving Hork?” Anastasia wanted Jason to leave Hork because it was time for her to decide..

It was about keeping or aborting the baby.

“Regardless of my decision, I’ll eventually have a falling out with Alastor and Felicia,” Anastasia thought.

Jason frowned. I won’t leave.”

“You know Alastor’s network of connections. Henry and Avery are courteous to him, and he has good connections in the business community and other social circles” After all, Anastasia had to admit that Alastor was powerful.

It was very risky for her to go against Alastor.

“Did he threaten you with me?” Jason clenched his fingers tightly.

Anastasia remained silent.

In fact, she might have been more unscrupulous if Jace was not involved.

“I have already signed the divorce agreement. Alastor and I will soon have a falling out. I’m not someone who will sit back and do nothing.” Anastasia said in a low voice.

“That’s why you waited so many years before sending your stepmother to prison. Upon returning. Jason heard Anastasia’s -stepmother, Meredith, was confirmed guilty of several crimes, such as intentional homicide, poisoning, and extramarital

affair. She was charged based on solid evidence.

Currently, a brain hemorrhage left Zeke paralyzed, Meredith was imprisoned, and Sienna had nothing left that she had to sleep on the streets. The latter’s former best friends did not care about her at all. As she could not even find a place to live, she could only rent a basement for tens of dollars рег month.

Anastasia had always been cruel. Moreover, those were some scumbags.

“Do you think I’ve gone too far, too?” Anastasia asked in a low voice.

Jason shook his head.

“As I’ve said, let me get my hands on those dirty jobs…” Jason said in a low voice after a long silence.

He was willing to kill people for Anastasia, which he did six years ago.

Anastasia’s eyes were reddened. After looking away, she uttered, “There’s no need.”

She did not need to rely on anyone anymore.

She just wanted to be alone until she died.

*Anastasia, give me a little more time. I can protect you after I’ve done dealing with it.” Jason was a little anxious. He had been waiting for many years, and that was the last step.

Over the years, he knew Anastasia had gone through a lot of hardships. He, too, had been working hard.

He had been trying to get rid of all the difficulties to be with his first crush.

However, she was already married

Anastasia smiled. “Jason, the society is very realistic. What you think about protection and how I want to be protected are two different concepts. You want to protect me from being hit by cars and bullied by passers-by. Yet, I want to stand at the high ground and look down on those who have bullied me.

What Anastasia wanted was protection with power.

What Alastor could give her was something Jace couldn’t.

Even Jace had grown into Jason, he still could not give her what she wanted.

Anastasia was being realistic because she did not want Jace to be ruined by reality.

“Jason, what you said is right. I have changed. I have become very realistic. I’m different from who I used to be…” Anastasia had been going through the mill in society for six years.

With that, she was no longer Anastasia like before, whom Jace used to protect with all his might.

“Jace, I don’t deserve it.” Anastasia wanted to cut her ties with everyone.

She might die in the delivery room where she would give birth to the baby, or at any moment in the next day.

Jason did not say anything but held Anastasia’s wrist. “Do you hate Alastor?”

Jason could do anything for Anastasia.

“No, I don’t.” Anastasia shook her head.

“How about Felicia?” Jason’s gaze darkened.

Jason had always been a man of few words and had always done things that made Anastasia feel lingering fear.

“Jason, to this day, I don’t hate anyone. Don’t interfere in my affairs anymore. Didn’t what happened six years ago teach your a lesson? What else do you want to do?” Anastasia shook off Jason’s hand.

On that rainy night six years ago, Anastasia waited a long time, but Jace did not show

1.

Later, something happened to Harold, making him almost die. Meanwhile, Jace went missing.

Jace had gone missing for six years.

“I won’t… act recklessly anymore.” Jason’s voice was hoarse.

“Then listen to me. When Grandma Penelope’s surgery has been completed, take her away and find a quiet city to recuperate, okay?” Anastasia was almost begging Jason.

“Don’t come back, Anastasia remarked inwardly.

“You want me to leave…” Jason looked at Anastasia with a piercing gaze.

“I hope you can forget me forever. Didn’t you live a good life in the past six years?”

Anastasia took a step back. Then, she turned around and left.

Looking at Anastasia, Jason felt pain in his heart.

He was under the illusion that Anastasia would disappear forever if he did not hold her back at the moment.
