Chapter 83


    Chapter 83 Just Drop the Act


    Anava looked at Hearst, who was walking toward her. Anaya asked, “What are you doing here?”


    “Ms., Tarleton said that you need a date.” Hearst looked indifferently.


    Anaya looked at Aracely.


    Aracely immediately exined, “I just wanted to help you piss Joshua off. As you can see, Joshua and


    Lexie are doing so great. You have to show that you still can live a better life without that jerk.”


    Anaya looked a little annoyed.


    Standing in front of Anaya with his back to the light, Hearst looked down at Anaya with his dark cold


    eyes. “Why the long face? You don’t wanna see me here?” he asked.


    “No,” Anaya bit her lower lip and continued, “I just hate to put you through this because of my personal


    reason.”


    Anaya felt bad about using others.


    Anaya didn‘t want to end up like Joshua.


    Joshua enjoyed taking advantage of those who cared about him, which made Anaya sick.


    Aracely realized that she was wrong, so she immediately apologized, “Mr. Helms, I‘m really sorry. I let


    my anger get the best of me. Please forgive me. I really should have considered your feelings.”


    “Doesn’t matter. Let‘s go in there.”


    The three of them walked into Maploem Club.


    Anaya wore a blue backless evening gown that framed her curvy figure, especially her thin waist.


    Walking in with grace and sex appeal, Anaya was eye-catching.


    Anaya attracted everyone’s attention at once as she walked in.


    Aracely held onto Anaya’s slender and fair arm. “You’re born to be the center of attention, Anaya,”


    Aracely whispered proudly


    Anaya smiled, “You look gorgeous too, Aracely.”

    “1 know,” Aracely echoed with a smile.


    The men around looked over and eagerly stared at Anava. Hearst approached Anaya unnoticeably


    and tried to block those men with his tall figure.


    “Anaya!”


    Suddenly, a familiar voice, filled with surprise, came from behind.


    Anaya’s smile vanished. Anaya pretended not to hear Bria’s voice and continued to walk forward.


    However, Bria didn‘t give up and quickened her pace to catch up. Finally, Bria got in Anaya’s way.


    Behind Bria were Lexie and Joshua.


    Bria eyed Anaya up and down.


    Bria remembered that Anaya always wore in clothes and no makeup at the Maltz’s ce. Although


    Anaya was pretty, Bria never saw Anaya as a looker,


    To Bria’s surprise, Anaya’s gown tonight perfectly framed her nice body. Anaya was elegant and


    dangerously beautiful. No one could take their eyes off Anaya.


    This was the first time Bria had seen Anaya dress up. At first, Bria thought that she had made a


    mistake. However, it turned out that the stunning woman was Anaya.


    It made Bria jealous. Bria snorted, “It’s just a business party. Do you really need to dress up like this?


    What a whore.”


    Before Anaya could retort, Aracely immediately mocked, “Oh,e on. You‘re just embarrassing


    yourself. Are you jealous because Anaya is much prettier than you?”


    Aracely didn‘t have to work, and she spent most of her time hanging out with other rich girls. Even


    though Aracely was a nice girl who enjoyed her decent life, she was sharp-tongued.


    As it happened, Aracely enjoyed picking fights with the bitches.


    “What? That‘s bullshit! What is it with her? Why would I be jealous of Anaya?”


    “Well, Anaya is beautiful and attentive. Plus, she can cook. Not like you, Anaya is perfect! Can’t you


    see?


    “Hehe, that’s not true. I guess you still don‘t know, right? I was in the hospitalst night. And I…”


    “Bria! Joshua interrupted angrily. “Don‘t forget what I saidst night.”


    Joshua asked Bria to keep it a secretst night.


    Bria recalled what Joshua said, so she shut up.


    Lexie sensed that Joshua and Bria were keeping something from her, but Lexie didn’t take it


    seriously. Grinning, Lexie came up to Anaya and said, “Haven’t seen you in a while, Anaya. How are


    you doing?”


    Lexie seemed to be living a good life. Even though Lexie looked as pretty as ever, her smirk face


    was annoying to Anaya.


    Anaya ignored Lexie and was about to leave.


    Nevertheless, Lexie took a step and stood in Anaya’s way.


    In order to show off, Lexie greeted Anaya on purpose. She wouldn’t let Anaya leave until she had


    managed to upset Anaya.


    Lexie couldn‘t wait to tell Anaya that Joshua still took her side even after he knew everything.


    Moreover, Joshua was willing to do things for her that he had never done for Anaya.


    Lexie put on a fake smile and said in a gentle tone, “Joshua recently got me a studio. If I remember


    correctly, Riven Group mainly focuses on the clothing business. Don’t you think we can do business


    with each other?”


    Anaya realized that Lexie was here to show off.


    However, what Lexie was showing off was something Anaya no longer wanted. Anaya didn‘t give a


    damn about what Lexie was talking about.


    Anaya had had enough of meaningless conversations with Lexie. “Ms. Dunbar, I didn‘t expect you to


    have the nerve to talk to me after what you had done to me not long ago,” Anaya said unfriendly.


    Lexie froze all at once. “Anaya, I‘m sorry. I know I shouldn‘t have done something like that. Can you


    forgive me? We‘re still friends as we used to be. I don‘t want to lose you as a friend...”


    Anaya cut in, “Just drop the act. You’re no friend to me.”


    Lexie pretended to sob, “Anaya…”


    At the same time, Lexie secretly nced at Joshua.


    With a sullen face, Joshua silently looked at Hearst who stood beside Anaya.


    Lexie knew what Joshua was thinking. Even though Lexie was pissed off, she tried not to show it.


    She had gotten back together with Joshua not long before. It was a critical time. Lexie didn’t want


    to screw things up


    Lexie admitted that she was too impulsive. She thought, shit. I shouldn‘t have shown off in front of


    Алауа.


    Lexie hoped that Joshua wouldn’t overthink it.


    Sensing Lexie’s embarrassment, Bria stood up for Lexie and instantly changed the subject “Lexie. did


    Joshua say that he was going to buy Felix‘s stunning dress for you tonight?


    “As I know, Joshua never brought Anaya anything. I heard that it was Anaya who brought herself the


    wedding ring and the house when they got married.”


    There was a scheduled fashion show at the business party to disy the Hader family’s new


    products


    Not long ago, Felix Turner, a world-ss fashion designer, promised to work with the Hader family.


    Felix‘s first dress after Felix worked under the Hader family was named “Dew”. It was said that “Dew”


    would make its public debut in the fashion show.


    All the clothes at the show could be brought. Therefore, all richdies’ hearts were set on Felix‘s


    dress.


    Lexie hurriedly waved her hand and replied, “Joshua’s all talk. Besides, I can‘t ept such a valuable


    gift.”


    Joshua wants to buy it for you because he cares about you. I don’t see why you can‘t ept it. Isn‘t it


    natural for a man to buy his girl things?”


    Mark always bought Bria a lot of jewelry. Bria saw nothing wrong with that and took it for granted.


    “Bria, I don‘t think so...”


    Hearing Lexie and Bria’s unreasonable words, Aracely couldn‘t help but roll her eyes at them. “The


    show hasn’t started yet, but you sound like you‘ve bought Felix‘s dress. Ms. Aucher, why are you so


    sure that the dress is gonna be Lexie’s?” Aracely snorted.


    Bria said firmly, “I know it will. No matter how much it costs, Joshua will buy it for Lexie!”
