Chapter 253


    Chapter 253 She Can Not Protect Anyone


    “I’m a disgusting person. Didn’t you know about it before?” Anaya’s face was frosty, “Furthermore, did I


    beg you to follow me and get drunk for me?


    “What does it have to do with me if you pretend to be affectionate and regretful?


    “You were drunkst night. If you were caught by the traffic police, would you me me for forcing you


    to drink?


    “Mr. Maltz, if there’s something wrong with your brain, go see a doctor. Don’t always act like you’re


    drunk when


    you’re awake. You are unreasonable.”


    After Anaya finished speaking, she raised her leg and was about to leave.


    Joshua reached out and tried to hold Anaya.


    Anaya took a step to the side to avoid Joshua. “If you want to lie here for the day, I can help you.”


    Hearing this, Joshua forcefully retracted the hand that he had extended out.


    Joshua knew very well that Anaya really dared to do that to him.


    Anaya never showed mercy to Joshua.


    Joshua said in a hoarse voice, “I’m not ming you for anything. I just… just don’t know what to say to


    you.”


    Joshua was just feeling ufortable.


    Because no matter what Joshua did, Anaya was unwilling to even look at him.


    Anaya’s neglect made Joshua feel aggrieved, and he had nowhere to vent his emotions, so he turned


    them into irritation.


    “I rarely bow my head to anyone, and I have bowed my head so many times for you…


    “Anaya, I’m sincere this time. Please pay some attention to me and give me a chance, okay?”


    Joshua’s voice was very soft. It seemed that he was begging.


    Joshua came from a prestigious family and was born to be the center of attention. He had his pride and


    dignity.


    For a period of time, all of this had been trampled under Anaya’s feet.


    Joshua had already lowered himself enough. Why was Anaya not willing to give him a chance?


    After listening to Joshua’s words, Anaya’s face did not change at all, only a bit more sarcastic. “Mr.


    Maltz, all of us have our own pride and self–esteem.


    “Although the Dutt family is not as noble as the Maltz family, it is still a famous family in Boston.


    “I grew up being spoiled by my grandfather, and I have my own pride and dignity. In the past ten years,


    have you ever given me any respect or face?


    “You treated me like that back then. How can you say that I’m heartless now?”


    Anaya’s tone remained calm, without any ripples.


    These words, however, were like thorns that were covered in spikes, entrenched in Joshua’s heart,


    ruthlessly stabbing his nerves.


    “What I did was…”


    Chapter 253 She Can Not Protect Anyone


    Anaya did not give him the chance to exin and directly left him.


    Joshua turned around and looked at Anaya’s back as she left. He did not have the courage to chase


    after her


    Joshua had to think of another way.


    Just by wandering around Anaya like this, she would not look back at Joshua at all.


    What should Joshua do….


    In the afternoon, Anaya received news from Tim that Kael’s family had not returned to Germany, and


    there was not even a record of leaving the country.


    Anaya somehow felt that something was wrong and suddenly remembered something. Anaya asked


    her friend for Bryant’s phone number and directly called Bryant.


    The phone rang for a long time, and no one answered.


    The uneasiness in Anaya’s heart expanded. She contacted Bryant’s father and received a reply that


    Bryant had note to work for several days.


    Anaya was sure that the disappearance of Silvia and Kael had something to do with Bryant.


    That man had imprisoned Silvia because of his crazy possessiveness.


    This time, Silvia was going to leavepletely. It was likely that Bryant had gotten the news from


    somewhere and took Silvia away again.


    Anaya had been unable to contact Silvia for several days, and now Anaya did not know how Silvia was


    doing….


    Anaya did not dare to dy and called the police immediately.


    After telling the police the basic case, Anaya did not wait. Instead, Anaya asked her subordinates to


    help her search for the news about Silvia. Anaya contacted her friends and tried to find out the


    whereabouts of Bryant.


    However, after asking all of her friends, Anaya found no one knew the whereabouts of Bryant.


    Anaya waited in the police station for an entire afternoon until the sky outsidepletely darkened, but


    there was no news of Bryant.


    A policewoman came over and said, “Ms. Dutt, don’t worry too much. Bryant is a famous person in


    Boston. I don’t think he would do anything terrible.


    “It’s gettingte. You should go back and rest first. We will inform you immediately when we have news


    here.”


    Listening to the female police officer’s words offort, Anaya’s face did not look any better.


    Anaya was well aware of Bryant’s temperament.


    Silvia’s foster father was forced to death by Bryant. How could Anaya be at ease?


    Thest time Bryant imprisoned Silvia, Silvia almost lost her life. Who knows what will happen this


    time?


    However, no matter how anxious Anaya was, Anaya had no other way to resolve this matter. Anaya


    could only go home first and use all the connections she had under hermand.


    Silvia was her friend, and now something happened to Silvia Anaya naturally had to do her best to find


    Silvia.


    Hearst had gotten off work early today, but Anaya did note back. Hearst had been calling Anaya,


    but the line had


    Chapter 253 She Can Not Protect Anyone.


    been busy all the time. Therefore, Hearst left a crack in the door of the entrance to listen to the


    movements outside.


    Hearing the sound of footsteps in the corridor, Hearst immediately pushed the door open and walked


    out.


    “Ana?”


    Hearing Hearst’s voice, Anaya turned her head to look at him with a numb expression. After a long


    while, Anaya finally had an expression.


    Anaya forced a smile on her tired face. “Jared, you’re back so early?”


    Hearst nced at the time on his phone.


    It was ten o’clock in the evening.


    It was really not early.


    “What happened?” Hearst asked with a frown.

    Anaya hesitated for a moment. “My friend is missing. I’m looking for her, but I can’t find her no matter


    what…”


    Anaya had thought that currently she was strong enough that she couldplete everything without


    relying on  others.


    Only today did Anaya realize that she was still the same as before.


    Nothing had changed except for the increase in the amount of money.


    Anaya tried her best to protect everyone she cared about, but it turned out that she could not protect


    anyone.


    Anaya drooped her head, feeling depressed, like an injured little animal,pletely losing her usual


    strong confidence.


    Hearst reached out and pulled Anaya into his arms. “Why didn’t you tell me that something


    happened?”


    Anaya fell to the side, letting Hearst hold her. Her voice was a little stuffy. “I originally wanted to solve it


    myself.”


    “And then?”


    “I found that I couldn’t solve it.”


    Anaya’s tone was a bit defeated and aggrieved.


    Hearst lowered his head and gently kissed Anaya’s forehead. His voice was low and gentle as he


    coaxed, “Don’t worry, I will help you find your friend.


    “Go back and sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be fine.”


    Anaya was silent for a long time before she said in a hoarse voice, “Alright.”
