Chapter 131


    At this time, everything stor had done so far disappointed Anastasia beyond despair. She raised her


    hand to stop stor from continuing.


    “We’re not suited to stay married. Why can’t we have an amicable break-off? Why must we torture


    each other? stor, leave me alone, please…” Anastasia was losing control of her mental state. Now,


    she stared at him, hoping he would let her go. “Now I know. What you wanted is for me to lose all


    standing and reputation. You enjoyed seeing me humiliated. You want to destroy everything I’ve gained


    from you. stor, you want to tell me if I’ve never met you, I’ll be even more worthless than a dirty rat


    in the sewer!” Anastasia had a nervous breakdown, and she shouted in desperation. She no longer


    cared how the guests of the dinner party viewed her.


    She continued, “stor, do remember this… Even if I didn’t marry you, I’d have my career and life.


    While I won’t have the shortcuts and fame you brought me, I don’t think I’ll end up worse than this!” She


    lamented her past choice. Why didn’t she choose another path instead of marriage?


    Anastasia cried in her heart, ‘Why did I trust naively when he said he was giving me a home?


    I’m an idiot, an idiot who’s unbelievably foolish!


    It’s my fault from the beginning to the end.


    I’m wrong! I’m wrong from the very beginning.


    What an asshole I am! I’ve failed Jace and Mr. Lexington.


    “stor, I don’t hate you… I deserve this!” Anastasia pointed to the ground and stressed her every


    word. “I’ll go to hell… But after I die, I’ll never want to see you again. I hope you an go to heaven…”


    Anastasia wiped her tears and leaned against the wall. Her fingers felt numb. “Is that enough?


    Anastasia’s nce swept over the people engrossed in discussing, ming, and deriding her. Some


    were taking photos. “Are you now satisfied with the humiliation I went through tonight?” she asked


    stor if he was happy now.


    stor froze on the spot. He clenched his fists tightly until he felt pain.


    stor mused, ‘Is this what I want to see?


    No. I don’t want this at all.


    In the past four years, Anastasia’s never been like this.


    Is she too good at hiding her true self?


    Or… I don’t know her well enough, and I’ve never really tried to know and understand her. The


    thoughts in stor’s mind scared him.


    He had always assumed Anastasia to be a docile woman who relied entirely on men. She should have


    no temper and be meek, subservient, and obedient.

    However, he found Anastasia in front of him to be extremely unfamiliar.


    “Anastasia, the first tomit a mistake is you.” stor lowered his head. He suddenly felt tired.


    stor thought, ‘It’s exhausting.


    Anastasia’s the one who’s wrong in the first ce.


    Anastasia’s the one who couldn’t forget her first crush. In his heart, he ced all the me on her.


    “Yes, I’m guilty.” Anastasia nodded.


    Anastasiamented inwardly, ‘Indeed, I’m a sinner.


    My existence itself is a sin.


    I should’ve died when I was ten.’


    “If you’re reminiscing about our marriage, do you know the anniversary of my mother’s death? How


    about our wedding anniversary and my birthday? You never remember them.” Anastasia smiled wryly.


    “But I remember your birthday. I also remember Grandma Andrea’s birthday. I even remember your


    parents’ birthdays and the birthdays of everyone important


    to you…


    She spent countless efforts on the people whom stor considered important. Yet, she was nothing to


    him.


    “Why am I saying these? There’s no point anymore.” Anastasia knew her words meant little.


    “Can I go now?” Anastasia pointed at the people who took photos and watched their altercation. “You


    achieved what you wanted. You’re now the victim. It doesn’t matter what you do or who you’re with;


    none will condemn you anymore… Moreover, you don’t have to worry about me impacting your


    company and shares…”


    Anastasia continued, “The child is gone, and there are no other potential threats. Everything that linked


    us together is broken. I’ll never be loved again, and no one will marry me. My career is also ruined…


    Are you now satisfied? Can you leave me alone?” She stared at stor.


    “Anastasia!” stor felt utterly powerless. He swore this was not what he intended.


    “What I really want is for you to give Jason up. You said you don’t love him romantically. In that case, I


    can give him money and ask him to leave you alone… Why can’t we go back to before? Why is it so


    difficult?” stor asked Anastasia in a low


    voice.


    “Why must she choose Jason instead of me?” hemented internally.


    “stor, you’re now the loser.” Suddenly, Jason’s voice reached them.
