Chapter 23


    stor didn’t deny it.


    After discovering that there were surveince cameras at home, he asked his friend in Pollerton to hire


    a private investigator


    to follow Anastasia.


    Anastasia didn’t exin and just looked at stor with heavy breathing.


    stor didn’t care if she was seeing any other men.


    He just wanted to pin an allegation on her.


    Then, they could end their marriage in peace.


    He wanted to minimize the loss caused by divorce.


    “What do you want? Just say it.” Anastasia never thought that she would negotiate conditions with


    stor face–to–face one day.


    It was just like four years ago when stor was calmly asking her to marry him.


    “I’ll hold a press conference at thepany about the divorce. The reason is that I’ve been busy with


    work and neglecting you, so we break up peacefully. I need you toe forward.”


    Anastasia smiled.


    She knew that stor cared about thepany. After all, part of his reason for choosing a blitz


    marriage was to fight for shares in thepany.


    stor’s grandfather made it clear in his will that stor would need to have a family to own these


    shares.


    If the divorce caused too much trouble, stor’s existing shares would be in dispute.


    “stor, you’re so unbing.” Anastasia looked at the agreement and tore it off bit by bit, feeling


    cold all over. “I’ve done nothing wrong, so I have a clear conscience, and I’m not afraid of your threats.”


    stor frowned and looked at Anastasia, as if he didn’t expect her to say no to a divorce. “Anastasia,


    this isn’t who you are.”


    ording to stor’s understanding of Anastasia, she would ept his request for a divorce even if


    he had no feelings for


    her.


    But now, Anastasia felt like a stranger to him.


    “Do you know me? Have you ever thought about getting to know me in the past four years? What kind


    of person am I? Ha. stor, you are wrong. This is who I am. I won’t divorce unless you want to lose all


    standing and reputation.” Anastasia threw the agreement into the trash can. “You said that unless you


    are widowed, you will never divorce me. Either I die or Felicia remains a mistress all her life!”


    Anastasia was very emotional. Her whole body was trembling, and her muscles and bones were so


    painful that she had spasms all over her body. She also began to have a fever as her body temperature


    rose.


    She thought. “Does stor lie to me all these years? We only got married because I was useful and


    Felicia went abroad four years ago. Am I supposed to quit and give stor to Felicia now that she’s


    back?”


    “Anastasia, I’ll give you three months to think about it.” stor didn’t want to stay. He stood up and


    looked at Anastasia hesitantly.


    Anastasia held her fingers hard and said in a hoarse voice, “What does she have that makes her better


    than me?”


    She was still a little unwilling to ept it.


    “She doesn’t need to be good at anything,” stor said calmly. His response was cruel yet true.


    As long as stor loved Felicia, she didn’t need to be good at anything at all. He didn’t mind even if


    she was insensible and caused trouble all the time.


    Due to the fact that stor didn’t love Anastasia, he still didn’t love her even though she yed the role


    of his wife wlessly.


    Anastasia thought, “But is there nothing worth holding on to after four years of marriage?”


    Anastasia got up with a sarcastic chuckle. “I can divorce you and help you resolve the share dispute,


    but on one condition.”


    “What is it?” stor, who was leaving, stopped in his tracks.


    “Why the rush after you lied to me for four years?” Anastasia walked to the window and took out a


    cigarette.

    She didn’t know how to smoke, but she somehow just wanted to try.


    stor frowned and felt a little unhappy. “When did you learn these bad habits?”


    “stor, you don’t know me. Anastasia lit the cigarette, but it was taken away by stor.


    16:39


    “You’re pregnant. stor looked grim.


    “Didn’t you want to have this child aborted?” Anastasia looked up at stor with piercing eyes.


    stor didn’t speak.


    “You’llpensate me for my four years of youth. During this period, you can’t take the initiative to


    propose a divorce. I’ll ask for a divorce if I get bored one day.” Anastasia lowered her head and fell


    silent for a moment before she added, “Don’t worry. I won’t take four years.”


    She would not divorce. Even if she died, she would be stor’s deceased wife.


    Felicia would be criticized by others forever.


    “During our marriage, please keep up your image as a husband. You’lle home to me every day,


    eat and go shopping with me, and do the dishes. You’ll fulfill the obligations that a married couple


    should fulfill.” Anastasia grabbed stor’s tie and unbuttoned his clothes with reddened eyes, refusing


    to give up.


    At that moment, Anastasia felt embarrassed like a needy cheap woman.


    “Anastasia!” stor was a little angry, even feeling disgusted.


    Anastasia felt extremely hurt.


    She thought, “Is he disgusted by me just like this? That’s right. Our sex life has never been passionate;


    it was in like water. He has no lust for me.”


    “If you can’t do it, I will go to another man. I don’t care whether you cheated or I cheated in marriage.


    You’ll be the one being affected anyway.”
