It was just an ordinary job. But according to those people, Anastasia became a female university student who was kept as a lover and toyed with by rich people.
Anastasia wanted to laugh, and she had explained it before.
But in the eyes of those people, she was just defending herself and making excuses.
No one believed her except Kimberly.
Just like Alastor now. No matter how much Anastasia explained to him, he felt that she was making excuses.
âActually, you can always just bring Felicia here. Anastasia walked out of the restroom and stopped hiding. She thought, âIt was Felicia who did something shameful, not me. So why should I hide?â
âDo you think itâs more embarrassing to bring along a disgraceful mistress like Felicia than to bring me?â Anastasia smiled ironically.
Alastor valued his reputation. On this occasion, bringing a mistress like Felicia would be more disgraceful.
Alastor rubbed his eyebrows and scolded Felicia in a low voice. âAll right, stop creating a scene. You до back first.â
âAnastasia, why are you still pretending? Whatâs so great about you? Donât you know your own reputation? Who in your school doesnât know about the shit you did outside? You know clearly the relationship between you and Mr. Quinn of the Quinn Group. You know it well that Alastor will only be laughed at if he brings you along to attend this event, Felicia shouted at Anastasia arrogantly.
Anastasia stood there silently for a long time.
âWhatâs the relationship⦠between you and Zachary?â The corridor was extremely quiet. Alastor took the initiative to speak, yet it was him questioning Anastasia about her relationship with Zachary.
âDonât you have an answer in your heart?â Anastasia responded with a sarcastic chuckle.
She thought, âYouâre already doubting me. Thus, is it even necessary for me to explain?â
âIf you think Iâm embarrassing you, I can leave.â Anastasia shrugged. She didnât care at all. After all, she didnât want to come at first.
Feeling slightly powerless, Anastasia turned around with a smile.
âYouâd better disappear nowâ Felicia clicked her tongue. âLook in the mirror and see what kind of person you are, wonât you? Youâve caused Alastor a lot of trouble over the years. Because of you, Alastor-
âEnough!â Alastor reprimanded Felicia. âStop it.â
Felicia lowered her head aggrievedly and snorted coldly.
Anastasia stopped in the same spot, clenching her hands tightly. Her eyes reddened briefly before she turned around and looked at Felicia. âNo matter how much I look in the mirror, Iâm still Alastorâs wife.
We are still a legal couple with a marriage certificate. Who do you think you are? Do I need you to reprimand me? Are you a disgraceful mistress or a bitch with no moral bottom line?â
After Anastasia found out she was ill, other than feeling sad and despair, only a few people could make her tremble with anger.
Yet, Felicia always had that ability.
âAnastasia, thatâs enough Donât go too far with your words, Alastor protected Felicia. âIf you really have nothing to do with.
Zachary, why not explain?â
âYou want an explanation, donât you?â Anastasia laughed ironically. âFine. Come with me. Iâll explain it to you.â
Anastasia turned around and walked straight to the banquet hall.
Alastor came early. This was a family banquet, and he was the host. Naturally, he had to come early.
Zachary had already entered just now. Anastasia saw him. Since they werenât familiar with each other, Anastasia didnât take the initiative to greet him.
Seeing Anastasia entering the private room in an unusual mood, Alastor felt his heart tighten and chased after her quickly.
Looking as if she was watching a show, Felicia followed him as well.
âAnastasia! You better stop fooling around herelâ Alastor warned Anastasia not to do anything impulsive.
Anastasia ignored Alastor and rushed into the private room, then looked at Zachary, who was already sitting on the couch.
Zachary was chatting with others. Seeing Anastasia coming in, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at Alastor and Felicia, who were chasing after Anastasia.
He didnât really know what was going on.
âAnastasia? Long time no see. How have you been?â Zachary took the initiative to greet Anastasia.
Zachary and Alastor were both rising stars in Horkâs business community. It was rare to see such capable individuals in the second-generation circle.
Zacharyâs appearance was also outstanding. He personally sent Anastasia back to the campus several times, which caused a great sensation on the campus forum.
âMr. Quinn, do you know my wife?â Alastor frowned. The manâs sixth sense told him that Zachary looked at Anastasia differently than ordinary friends.
âMr. Quinn, this is my husband, Alastor Lopez.â Anastasia first introduced Alastor and then pointed at Felicia. âThatâs my husbandâs secretary and lover.â
Hearing Anastasiaâs words, everyone in the room was stunned. They thought, âAnastasia isâ¦â
Alastor took a deep breath and regretted taking Anastasia out today, Frowning, Alastor grabbed Anastasiaâs wrist. âIf thereâs anything, we can talk about it when we go home.â
âWhose home are we returning to?â Anastasia shook off Alastorâs hand and looked back at Zachary, then continued to speak. âIâm sorry that you were involved in this matter. My husbandâs mistress said that I was kept as a lover by you when I went to university, and itâs regrettable that the internal conflicts and rumors within our family have affected you. If possible, I want to clarify this matter face to face.â
Behind Alastor, Feliciaâs face turned pale. She was trembling, unable to say a word.
That was Zachary, who had a family background that was much better than Alastorâs family. When Anastasia told him that, it would cause Felicia to offend Zachary completely.
Felicia was so scared that she couldnât control her fingers. She hid behind Alastor in a panic and clung to his arm. âAlastorâ¦
