Chapter 184


    Anastasia’s vision turned ck, and her breathing quickened as she stared at the pool of blood on the


    floor.


    Anastasia looked up at the person who had stabbed her, her eyes closing slowly.


    It was Sienna’s uncle, Harold, the man who had forced himself on her in the past.


    He was also Anastasia’s worst nightmare-a scumbag and a demon who had gone missing for years.


    “Harold…” Anastasia chuckled sarcastically, her nails scratching Harold’s hand. “Did you think you


    could get away?”


    Based on the video evidence, he was initially only charged with attempted sexual assault.


    Now, he would be charged with murder.


    “You’re such a jinx. I would not have been the target of public scorn if it had not been for you. It’s all


    your fault that I’ve been reduced to this state! You are the one who put my sister in jail, and you also


    ruined Sienna’s life. You are a jinx. I should have killed you a long time ago!” Harold brandished his


    knife and appeared ready to strike.


    “W-Who told you I was here?” Anastasia thought she was being cautious.


    She lived in a hotel, and very few people knew about it. Most of them were close to her.


    “When did Harold start targeting me? Did he follow me here, or did someone inform him of my room


    number?” she wondered.


    “Too many people want you dead, you jinx.” Harold’s expression turned ferocious. “Do you know why


    your father sold you to me back then? It is because you are not his biological daughter. Don’t you


    know? While your father was away gambling, your mother had an affair and became pregnant with you.


    No matter how badly he beat her, she would not reveal the identity of that man!”


    Harold sneered at Anastasia. “You are nothing more than a rascal born from an extramarital affair.”


    Anastasia’s breath grew even more ragged, and her whole body trembled uncontrobly.


    “You’re spouting nonsense…” She would not let Harold sully her mother’s name.


    Though Anastasia did not want to admit it, she believed Harold’s words.


    If she was not her father’s biological daughter, it would exin why she had lived such a miserable life


    all those years. She finally realized why her parents had never shown her paternal love and why no


    one had ever been concerned about her. That was why Zeke was always abusive, and her mother


    would always say, “It would have been better if you had not been


    born.”


    “Why were you born, Anastasia? If only I weren’t pregnant with you. If only you weren’t born. Your


    father doesn’t want us anymore, Anastasia. I’m worried about you. I’m taking you with me, okay?”

    Anastasia recalled her mother telling her repeatedly that her father wanted to abandon them.


    At


    time, Anastasia couldn’tprehend it. Anastasia could not understand why her mother was still so


    attached to Zeke, despite the fact that he was an alcoholic who would always abuse her.


    Now that she thought about it, if Harold’s words were true, the man her mother was looking for might


    not have been Zeke


    after all.


    “Go to hell.” Harold was about to stab Anastasia again.


    “What are you doing?” a hotel janitor shouted.


    When Harold heard that, he became terrified, threw away the knife, and turned to flee.


    Anastasia’s strength was fading. Her vision was growing blurry.


    On the


    verge


    of death, the first person who came to Anastasia’s mind was Jason, not stor.


    She could not stop thinking about Jason protecting her and resolving everything for her at the art


    exhibition.


    Letting out a bitterugh, Anastasiay in a pool of blood.


    It was toote.


    Her meeting with Jason urred too soon, and their reunion happened toote.


    Everything was toote.


    “Ahl Help! There’s a murder!”


    “Someone is killed.” The hotel janitor shrieked with a piercing voice, shouting that there had been a


    murder.


    Hearing that, the hotel staff immediately called the police and an ambnce.


    When Jayden arrived at the scene in his car after finally discovering the hotel where Anastasia was


    staying, Anastasia had already been carried into the ambnce.


    “I-I’m her rtive!” Jayden got in the ambnce and looked at Anastasia, who was covered in blood,


    his voice trembling as he made a call. “Jace! Something terrible happened! Anastasia is hurt. Anastasia


    was stabbed at the hotel, and we’re in the ambnce now.”


    Jayden’s face turned pale, and he cried in despair, “Anastasia, please survive. You can’t just die and


    leave Jace alone!”


    In a daze, Anastasia heard Jayden’s cries. “Jace? Who is he calling Jace?” she thought.
