Chapter 56


    In the police station.


    Anastasia endured the pain and got off the taxi, rushing into the police station.


    Steven, stor’s assistant, and Felicia were all present and looked gloomy.


    “Anastasia, you are truly malicious! By falsely using stor of domestic violence, do you want to


    ruin him?” Felicia angrily used, seemingly wanting to tear Anastasia apart.


    “Anastasia, you’ve gone too far. I never thought you’d be so shameless. Who would believe that you


    fell and fractured? You’re framing stor for domestic violence and even trying to get him to sign an


    agreement and write a will. How can you be so vicious?” Steven’s anger was evident, and he seemed


    to be losing control, wanting to confront Anastasia.


    stor’s assistant stopped Steven. “Mr. Quigley, don’t argue with her. She’s pregnant now, and if you


    lay a hand on her, she might nder you.”


    Steven snorted, looking at Anastasia with disgust. “And we don’t even know whose child it is!”


    “Let me tell you, Anastasia. It’s not that stor dislikes children, but he simply doesn’t trust you.


    Before, I thought he was too guarded against you, but now I know! A woman like you is truly


    disgusting” Steven insulted her. “stor doesn’t want you to have this child because he doesn’t trust


    you. This child probably isn’t even his, right?”


    Anastasia stopped in her tracks, standing below the steps, looking at everyone using her.


    It was as if the failure of this marriage made her the target of public criticism.


    Anastasia opened her mouth to exin, but not a single word came out.


    The torrent of usations was overwhelming, and she could not defend herself.


    “Tell us, is this child really stor’s?” Felicia also chimed in. “I really can’t tell, Anastasia. What’s with


    your pretense of purity? Almost everyone in thepany has seen your nude photos! Your nude


    photos were sent to thepany group chat. Do you know how much money stor spent to


    suppress that matter?”


    Anastasia looked up at Felicia in shock, feeling a suffocating pain in her heart.


    Anastasia thought, “What did she mean? What nude photos andpany group chat?”


    “It’s really unlucky for stor to have met you, Steven muttered softly.


    Anastasia’s feet felt numb as she stepped up the stairs.


    Steven and Felicia stood there, blocking her way, not allowing Anastasia to go up the stairs.


    “Get out of the way,” Anastasia said in a hoarse voice.


    “What do you want now? Do you want to smear stor’s reputation again? Forget it, it’s not going to


    work.” Felicia adopted a stance as if she was willing to sacrifice everything for stor.


    “Get out of the way.” Anastasia’s head was throbbing, urging Felicia to step back.


    Felicia gave Anastasia a push. “You’re truly malicious.”


    Anastasia was already unsteady on her feet, and being pushed caused her to fall down the steps.


    The pain in Anastasia’s corbone was intense, and her already fractured arm worsened.


    Felicia’s face showed both shock and innocence. “I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t push her hard.”


    “Just look at you. Anastasia. What are you pretending for? Who are you trying to deceive with your


    act?” Steven mocked. “Are you as fragile as a ss doll, breaking at the slightest touch?”


    Anastasia remained silent, feeling the excruciating pain in her right leg.


    Most likely, it was fractured too.

    The doctor had told Anastasia that her bone density was akin to that of a seventy or eighty-year-old


    woman, and it seemed


    to be true.


    Anastasia sat on the ground for a long while, her face pale.


    She could not get up.


    But she did not want to appear weak in front of these people.


    “What’s going on?” The police officers rushed out after seeing it from the surveince cameras.


    “And you still im there was no domestic violence. You all seem pretty bold, resorting to violence at


    the police station entrance, a policewoman scolded, approaching to help Anastasia up.


    “Thank you.” Anastasia stood up, her face deathly pale.


    It was too painful.


    “Are you alright?” the police asked.


    Anastasia nodded.


    “Stop pretending. You’re really a good actress,” Felicia mocked.


    Anastasia did not reply but exined to the police officer, “Sorry to bother you, but there was no


    domestic violence. stor did beat me, and I fell.”


    The police frowned. “Are you sure?”


    “Yes, I apologize for causing trouble,” Anastasia said, gritting her teeth in pain as she hobbled up the


    steps.


    “I’m sorry.”


    The police officer paid no further attention to Anastasia, allowing her to hobble into the lobby.


    In the interrogation room, Anastasia saw stor.


    He looked somewhat disheveled, with his tie loosened and a wound on the corner of his lip.


    Clearly, he had been in a fight.


    Anastasia’s heart sank as she thought of Jason.


    Anastasia thought, “Did Jason fight against stor? Because of me?”


    Anastasia’s eyes reddened at the thought, and she moved over step by step. “I’m sorry for causing you


    trouble. It’s all a misunderstanding. There was no domestic violence. It was just me who fell.”


    stor seemed like he had not slept all night, his eyes bloodshot. He nced at Anastasia with a


    complicated expression.


    Anastasia stood stiffly in ce, feeling like she was being stabbed all over her body.


    In stor’s eyes, there was both disgust and disappointment towards her.


    “He was disgusted by me” She thought.


    Thinking of everything that happened recently, Anastasia felt suffocated.
