Anastasia took a deep breath as she looked at the night scenery.
It didnât seem too terrible to leave Alastor and the place that made her feel suffocated.
âAnastasia, Iâm not Jace from six years ago anymore.â Jason looked at Anastasia.
However, Anastasia didnât speak.
âSo, why did you come here knowing that Alastor and Felicia want to humiliate you?â Jason insisted on knowing.
He wanted to know if Anastasia still had lingering feelings for Alastor or if she was threatened by him.
âStop asking.â Anastasia frowned. âItâs between me and Alastor. Donât get involved.â
Jason was a little disappointed and looked away. Anastasia always treated him as an outsider to her relationship with Alastor.
That was right. He had left for six years.
It was too late.
He had missed out on her life too much.
In the evening, Jason had to deliver takeouts. Penelopeâs surgery and hospitalization expenses were too expensive, so he had to work several jobs.
Anastasia looked at the bank card that Jason hadnât used and sighed.
Sighing, she thought, âThis kid is still as stubborn as before. He doesnât have to work so hard but insists on not using the money I gave him.â
Anastasia sat on the couch and answered a phone call from Jayden. âAnastasia, guess who I found.â
âSienna?â Anastasia took a guess.
Jayden sounded a little excited.
âXavier!â
After Anastasia heard that, she froze for a moment.
Xavier was her partner.
In the past, Anastasia cooperated with Xavier on all her art exhibitions.
Over the years, Anastasiaâs only trusted friend of the opposite sex was Xavier.
That was the extent she trusted him.
However, this man stabbed her in the back.
âHaha,â Anastasia laughed sarcastically. Then, she lowered her head and kept silent.
âThat jerk hides well. He has strong counter-reconnaissance ability and knows the most dangerous place is the safest place. Iâm sure you wonât be able to guess where he hid,â Jayden said smugly. âIt isnât hard for me to deal with this. He is hiding in a rented house near the university. I will send you the address in a while, but donât look for him yourself, miss. You have to go with me,â Jayden reminded Anastasia.
âOkay,â Anastasia agreed but wouldnât drag Jayden down.
She would solve the problem between her and Xavier herself.
There was absolutely a connection between Xavier and Sienna.
Finding Xavier meant that they could find Sienna soon.
Before she died, she had to deal with these people.
She wouldnât let these evil people go, even if she had to go to hell.
After hanging up the phone, Anastasia checked the time.
She thought, âXavier must be home at this time,â
Anastasia looked at the address sent by Jayden and walked out of her house.
She wanted to know why Xavier treated her the way he did, even with all the help and kindness she had given him all these years.
Creating calumny, falsifying evidence, framing, extorting⦠He had done it all.
Anastasia wanted to ask him what she did to him so that Xavier had to betray her.
At the rental house near the university town, Anastasia walked on the familiar street and looked at the old buildings on both sides of the road.
Once, the house she rented when she was still in school was an above-ground storage room here.
There were memories of her and Jace in the rental house less than 325 square feet.
She looked up at Xavierâs rented house, and the lights were turned on.
Knocking sounds could be heard as Anastasia stood in front of the door.
Inside the house, Xavier asked, âWho is it?â
âItâs me.â Anastasia didnât think about concealing her identity.
He was silent for a long time inside the house and finally opened the door.
Xavier looked at Anastasia standing outside the door and glanced around the area.
âDonât worry. I came here alone.â Anastasiaâs voice was low.
When Xavier was sure that no one was around, he was relieved.
âWhat are you afraid of? You have ruined me. No one will believe me or protect me.â Anastasia entered Xavierâs house, untied her scarf, and threw it on the ground.
Xavier frowned and looked at Anastasia. âWhy are you here?â
âIâm curious that when you painted the nude paintings⦠Were you aroused?â Anastasia turned around, looked at Xavier, and smiled. Then, she took off her coat and threw it on the ground.
After that, she began to take off her sweater.
âAnastasia! Whatâs wrong with you?â Xavier was frightened by her behavior.
