Chapter 71


    On the way home. Anastasia received Felicia’s WhatsApp messages.


    [Anastasia. I’m sorry to tell you this. It was not my intention to reveal the news of your divorce today. I


    just don’t want to see stor belittled any longer because of you.


    You’ve been married for four years, and stor has been criticized for four years. stor never told


    you anything about these things.


    He even gave up many opportunities because of you.


    stor may not love you, but he had done what he was supposed to do as a husband.


    Anastasia, we all have feelings. I hope you don’t hate him and ruin his career. Just part on good terms,


    all right?

    I’m begging you.]


    Felicia sent her a lengthy message.


    The lengthy message mainly served to guilt-trip her.


    It was probably because she had revealed Felicia’s nder to Zachary today and scared Felicia.


    In any case, this was the first time Felicia hadmunicated with her directly.


    Anastasiaughed resignedly. She looked at the night outside the window and thought. This is human


    nature.


    It’s human nature to tter those above while trampling on those below, bullying the weak.


    Ignoring Felicia, Anastasia guessed that Felicia would flip out at her again after Zachary’s incident. She


    just needed to wait quietly.


    Felicia wanted most to get Anastasia not only divorced, but also to have an


    “Anastasia…” Jason called her name softly after he brought Anastasia home.


    Anastasia looked back at Jason. She didn’t know what he was going to say.


    Jason raised his hand to rub her hair and smiled at her.


    Anastasia used to do that for Jace.


    Jace sometimes resisted, saying it felt like she was petting a stray.


    “Don’t be afraid. Just do whatever you want. I’ll always be here for you.”


    Anastasia’s body stiffened, and she clenched her fingers tightly.


    He had always been there for her.


    abortion.


    He had always been quietly protecting Anastasia in his own way, out of her sight.


    Anastasia’s eyes turned red. She got out of the car and walked home without saying anything.


    Jason’s headlights kept shining on the road ahead. Only after Anastasia entered the house did he


    finally turn around and


    leave.


    When the lights were gone, Anastasia couldn’t contain her emotions, so she hid in a corner and cried


    for a long time.


    Everything is different now.


    “Did he bring you back?”


    In the bedroom on the second floor, stor stood by therge window, looking out of it. His voice is


    cold. The time he returned was unknown.


    He probably saw Jason send Anastasia back and Anastasia hiding in the yard while crying for a long


    time.


    “Aren’t you happy with him? Why did you cry?” stor turned around and looked at Anastasia. “Or are


    you reluctant to leave everything you have now?”


    Anastasia was a little tired, and stor’s questions gave her a headache.

    “Anastasia, you secretly contacted a private investigator and awyer behind my back to sort out the


    share transfer agreement… You’re so thorough.” stor said coldly, and his eyes became colder when


    he looked at Anastasia.


    “Is using Felicia’s loose tongue to make Zachary cut off cooperation with thepany today also part


    of your revenge?”


    stor had obviously discovered something new.


    Anastasia didn’t deny it.


    She had indeed done everything stor said.


    “I had no idea the woman I’d been married to for four years and who slept beside me was a viper”


    storughed


    sarcastically, stood up straight, and walked to Anastasia. “When did you start setting me up? On the


    day of the blind date? Or is it on the day of the blitz marriage?”


    Anastasia remained silent.


    “Anastasia, judging by the way you treat Meredith and Sienna, you are really cruel.” stor pointed to


    Anastasia’s heart. “I wish I could open this ce and see if you have a heart of stone”


    Anastasia smiled weakly. stor was quite capable and could find out everything.


    But why couldn’t he discover what her stepmother Meredith and her brother Harold had done to her?


    Well, that incident was very well hidden by Zeke. Moreover, stor was not at all interested in her


    experiences and past.


    Since he did not love her, there was no favoritism.


    “Or perhaps, have you and Jace been plotting for a long time to dupe me into marriage, so you can get


    everything you want out of it and avoid living as poor as beggars?” stor’s words were harsh and


    unpleasant.


    “Anastasia, what I gave you is charity. But you schemed, and I can make you lose everything.” stor


    used the influence of alcohol to vent and forced Anastasia into the corner.


    Anastasia averted her gaze, her eyes red-rimmed.


    When she came to this world, she had nothing. What did it matter if she was going to die?


    stor held Anastasia’s chin and surprisingly tried to kiss her.


    Anastasia didn’t think this was stor lusting after her. It was pure venting and humiliation.


    “Armastasia, I really underestimated you… Upon seeing Anastasia dodging. stor grew angrier.


    “Could it be that those men can do anything as long as they give you money? You are ruthless to


    everyone, but you’re very dedicated to Jace.”


    She thought, “Give my feelings to one person and use schemes and my body to swindle others out of


    their money?


    Heh….


    Should I say this kind of woman has a big heart, or should I say she is heartless?”


    “You disgust me…” Anastasia pushed stor away, her voice trembling.


    “What about you? So filthy…” stor pulled open Anastasia’s shirt and said in a hoarse voice.


    Anastasia suddenly understood why he didn’t touch her much over the years.


    Sure enough, he thought she was filthy.
