Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 109

Anastasia hung up Felicia’s phone directly. She was annoyed to have heard the latter talking on the phone.

Felicia sent her WhatsApp message instead when Anastasia did not answer her phone. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Anastasia, you will regret not answering my calls.” Anastasia ignored Felicia and wanted to block her. She thought against it, as she might have needed their chat history to be used as evidence.

Instead of blocking, Anastasia changed Felicia’s contact settings to “Do not disturb.” Subsequently, she began her search for suitable accommodation.

“Annic, we can continue to stay in that house. We are short of money. Moreover, Grandma still needs medical care. I want to save more money. So, let’s keep living here,” Jason said while looking at Anastasia.

Anastasia sighed and put the phone aside. “Then promise me that you will not have any further involvement or contact with Samuel. We can buy a house and move out when we have money.”

Jason nodded and said, “Okay.”

He would listen to anything Anastasia said.

“Thank you for that art exhibition, Jason.” If he had not helped her, she would not have known where she could hold her last art exhibition.

Maybe she would choose a park or even a corner. Or perhaps, nothing could be done.

Anastasia sat on the couch, feeling helpless and powerless.

It was Alastor, the husband who cornered her to desperation.

“Between us, do you need to be so polite?” Jason frowned and was a little unhappy.

Anastasia smiled and concurred, “Yes, we are family. There’s no need to be so polite.”

“We are a family–family members.” Jason sighed and could only accept the categorization of them as “family members.” He continued, “I’ll go to Mr. Lexington’s place this afternoon and work on the art exhibition. You don’t have to worry about anything. You just stay at home. There will be no accidents in the art exhibition. I promise you that. Trust me.”

Jason’s gaze was firmly locked on Anastasia, and he told her not to worry about anything but to rest at home. Anastasia felt a tug at her heartstrings and nodded nervously.

She felt that Jason had.been too good to her, so much so that it was unsettling.

“Don’t be so good to me, Jason.” Anastasia’s voice was hoarse.

“What are you talking about? We are a family. Shouldn’t we support each other?” Jason smiled and stood up to leave. He paused after a few steps, looked back at Anastasia, and said, “I’d like to have something light for dinner.”

Anastasia was stunned. At that moment, there was an overlap between Jason and Alastor.

Alastor had a liking for light meals because of his gastric problem.

Every morning, Anastasia would wake up early and prepare breakfast. Then, she would help Alastor choose the suit and tie for that day.

Before Felicia returned home, Alastor had even smiled at Anastasia and said to her, “I want to have something light tonight.”

Anastasia was like a fool at that time.

She was a fool to become a full–time housewife willingly for four years because of Alastor’s simple words.

Anastasia’s eyes were a little blurred. She burst into tears and cried uncontrollably after Jason left.

Anastasia wiped her tears and curled up on the couch, lying quietly.

Felicia had probably called Anastasia, to which the latter did not answer. And it was the same with WhatsApp as well. Felicia was getting anxious and began to text Anastasia instead.

Anastasia ignored Felicia and directly blocked her.

It was peaceful, at last.

Anastasia curled up on the couch and fell asleep,

She was exhausted those days. The immense tension had caused her to be unable to sleep well at night.

Anastasia had no idea how much time had passed when her phone rang and woke her up from her sleep.

It was her new private investigator, Jayden Lambert.

“I can’t find the one named Sienna, Anastasia. There is no news about her, which means that she has definitely not fled alone. Someone must have helped her,” Jayden sighed, and he continued before Anastasia could speak, “In Hork, for one to have been able to hide someone so well that even I cannot trace, and I’m not bragging, is not an ordinary person.”

Anastasia was lying on the couch. Her body was aching badly. She replied, “I understand.”

“Anastasia, you don’t believe me? Let me tell you. I’m not bragging. Those of us in our industry are afraid of rich and powerful people. I’m not, for I come from a family with a background,” Jayden explained hurriedly.

Anastasia smiled and said, “I don’t doubt your ability. I know you are capable of the task since you dare to take on my case.”

Since Alastor knew she was looking for a private investigator, none of them in Hork dared take on her case.

Only Jayden had dared to.

Perhaps he was young and fearless, or maybe he was the scion of a wealthy family.

He was driving a luxury car, and he seemed to be quite righteous.

“Hey, Anastasia, I like customers like you. Since you are the first customer of my entrepreneurship, I will have Sienna found, even if I do that for free. I don’t believe that any person in Hork can hide anyone from me. Jayden was blowing his own trumpet.

Anastasia said thanks to him and hung up the phone. The smile on her face was frozen.

“Who else, apart from Alastor, could have been that powerful in Hork to want to hide Sienna? Alastor could be kind to everyone, with the exception of me. He had to be cruel to me.” Anastasia sighed.
