Chapter 128


    “Anastasia, everything you have was given by stor,” Felicia said, shaking her head dramatically.


    “And now, he no longer wants you. What else do you have? You have nothing.”


    Anastasia knew thating here today would result in Felicia humiliating her.


    This was what stor wanted to achieve.


    Anastasia’s eyes turned red, but she said nothing.


    “What are you cocky about? Remember the first time we met? You looked so arrogant when I said I’m


    Mr. Lopez’s secretary. You acted like you wanted everyone to know your identity as stor’s wife. How


    dare you interrogate me about why he drank so much wine? Do you think you’ll always be superior to


    me?” Felicia’s face twisted with malicious delight, making it clear that her revenge had been sessful.


    Anastasia took a deep breath. That day, she had asked why stor was drinking so much because


    she felt sorry for him. She had never intended to interrogate Felicia.


    On the other hand, Felicia overreacted because she knew she was wrong.


    “You and the Lawson family are like beggars, pestering Mr. Lopez every day and night. In the four


    years of your marriage, he has to deal with many problems for your family and lose a lot of money to


    your greedy father. I don’t know how Mr. Lopez endures living with a woman like you for four years.” An


    annoyed Lionel chimed in, supporting Felicia’s indignation.


    Lionel spoke as if he felt sorry for stor. “With your lowly family background, do you think Mr. Lopez


    wants to marry you? You only got lucky because you met him when he needed a woman to get


    married.”


    Their derision caused Anastasia to lose her strength to stand. She had to lean against the wall.,


    There was no escape for her. She could only stand there, feeling like she was ced in a pillory of


    shame, exposed to the humiliation of anyone passing by.


    Many people wereing and going, and quite a few of them would stop to take a look, drawn by the


    commotion.


    Now, a triumphant Felicia did her best to degrade Anastasia. She wanted people to believe that


    Anastasia constantly bothered stor, even though he did not consider her a legitimate wife.


    Only in this way would those who wanted to please stor choose to support Felicia’s art exhibition,


    not Anastasia’s.


    “Anastasia, leave stor alone. You’ve divorced him, and you have a boyfriend. This is what you’ve


    admitted. Since you already have a new boyfriend, why are you attending this function as if you’re still


    stor’s wife?” Felicia deliberately raised her voice, aiming to make her words heard by others.


    Her shrill voice sessfully drew the attention of thedies at the dinner party.


    “How disgraceful. This so-called Mrs. Lopez seems to have a messy personal life. How dare she pester


    Mr. Lopez again? She is shameless!” one of them remarked.


    “That’s right. She publicly admitted she had a boyfriend online, and Mr. Lopez also announced their


    divorce. Doesn’t she realize how disgraceful it is for her to show up and harass Mr. Lopez?” another


    person sneered.


    “In my opinion, she’s in trouble. I heard she will have an art exhibition a few dayster. In the past,


    many people went to her art exhibition because of Mr. Lopez. Now, without his support, that exhibition


    will be doomed to fail. Her new boyfriend is a poor student who delivers takeout and works in a bar.


    What can he possibly provide for her?” yet anotherdy smirked.


    Everyone was talking about Anastasia’s disgrace. Those piercing gazes, derogatory words, and the


    shrill sounds of sneering and smirking felt like knives cutting through her body.


    Anastasia tried to stand, but exhaustionpelled her to lean slightly against the wall for support. She


    couldn’t stop those people from humiliating her.


    “They can say whatever they like. If this is what stor hoped to see, let him have it,” she thought in


    despair.


    “Anastasia, why don’t you guess why stor asked you toe to the party?” Felicia’s smirk was


    meaningful and mockery. “He wants to destroy you. He wants you to know that without him, you’re


    nothing. Your slumdog boyfriend can’t protect you or provide for you. Without the support of the Lopez


    Group, is there anyone who cares about your art exhibition? Your painting is worthless, anyway.”


    Anastasia felt her head buzzing, rendering her speechless.


    This world was harsh and unforgiving. Only those who were favored could have confidence. Yet, she


    had nothing except

    stor.


    With her current predicament, it was impossible for her to fight stor and protect Jason.


    She had no choice but to persevere and be patient.
