Chapter 153 Confrontation Between Two Men
Joshua wanted to ask Anaya if she came with Hearst, but because Lexie was present, he did not ask
The wedding between Joshua and Lexie was coming soon, and his body was almost recovered, so they chose to try on welding dresses today.
On such an important day, if he was still entangled with Anaya, it wasn’t fair to Lexic.
He took a deep breath and tried to ignore Anaya. He said to the staff,”Please take us to take a look at the wedding dresses. And men’s dress…”
“Wait a minute!” Aracely stopped them. “This is my shop. I don’t want to serve you. Please leave!”
They bullied Anaya and still wanted to shop at her store!
Dream on!
Bria was the most impatient. She did not dare to provoke Anaya, but she dared to offend the people around her.
“Aracely, don’t you know that you should put customers first? Aren’t you afraid that if you drive us away and others hear about it, your business will be ruined?”
Aracely crossed her arms around her chest. “I’m not afraid. At worst, Anaya will raise me.”
Aracely’s fearless appearance was even more infuriating. Bria angrily said, “How dare you give us a hard time! I can ask Joshua to buy your fucking wedding dress shop now!”
Anaya took a step forward and narrowed lier eyes. “Bring it on.”
Bria and Anaya were like a mouse and a cat. Bria instinctively felt scared.
Bria looked at Joshua for help. “Joshua, these two are going to walk all over you. Are you sure you don’t behave them?”
“Anaya, don’t go too far! You have to pay the price for your friend to target us like this!” Joshua couldn’t stand it anymore.
Anaya raised her eyebrows. “I’m going too far. What are you going to do to me? Are you going to continue forcing the Dutt family out? Are you going to use those tricks to corner me like before?”
As she spoke, the smile on her face grew wider and wider, and the coldness in her eyes was the same. “Joshua, Riven Group is different now. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to use the previous method to plot against me!”
Ever since Riven Group won the project in East Boston, its market value had increased several times. Although it temporarily could not rival the Maltz family, it was not something that Joshua could afford to ignore.
Joshua misinterpreted what she meant. “What? Are you fearless by hooking up with Hearst? You seem to feel at ease relying on a man. Aren’t you ashamed?
“ixt me tell you, although Prudential Group is powerful overseas, it can’t stir up any waves at home!
“Do you think that you can rest at ease with Hearst as your backing? Prudential Group is nothing to me. If I’m unhappy…”
“Il you are unhappy, what will you do?”
Before Joshua could finish his words, he was interrupted by a clear and cold voice
After a few seconds, Hearst appeared in front of a few of thein
He walked to Anaya’s side and stood in front of her naturally.
He stood straight, firm, and steady as if he could withstand all the sandstorms.
There was no smile on Hearst’s face, and even the surrounding air seemed to have condensed into fine ice. “Mr. Maltz is talking nonsense here. Why don’t you impose sanctions on Prudential Group? Do you not want to, or…
“You can’t!” he asked, his lips curving into a smile.
Joshua did not expect Hearst to be nearby. Now he lost face because of Hearst and did not know how to win respect.
Everyone knew the difference in strength between the Prudential Group and the Maltz Group.
What Joshua said just now was because he was too angry and exaggerated.
Herefused to admit it. “I don’t have much of a conflict with you. It’s not worth it to make such a big fuss.”
Everyone present wasn’t an idiot. They knew what the actual situation was.
“In that case, Mr. Maltz seems to be a smart person who is always correct in his actions.”
Joshua felt as if he had been slapped in the face, and it was burning with pain.
Hearst was clearly speaking in a sarcastic tone!
However, Joshua could not find any words to refute it!
Aracely timely warned when the two had finished speaking, “Mr. Maltz, please take the two women next to you and get lost. Don’t force me to call for help. It will make everyone look bad.”
Joshua looked as if he couldn’t hear her, his cyes only on Hearst as if staring at him like this, he would be able to regain some of his authority.
Hearst did not want to waste time on Joshua. He turned around and saw the woman behind. The coldness in his eyes instantly melted.
“Have you been waiting for a long time?”
His voice was soft, completely opposite of the cold attitude he had when confronting Joshua.
“No.” Anaya shook her head.
“Do you take a fancy to a certain wedding dress?”
“I haven’t started yet!” Anaya paused for a moment and added in a low voice, “I’m waiting for you.”
Hearst thought for a moment, but he did not show it on his face. “Then let’s select it together.”
The two of them whispered 10 cach other as if no one else was around. Joshua saw this and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Were these two already so close now?
They seemned natural and familiar as if they had been married for many years.
But Anaya was his ex-wife!
Even if she was his ex-wife, she should only belong to him!
Anava brought Hearst all day long, swaggering around Joshua and creating opportunities to mect him. Clearly, she was deliberately trying to annoy him!
Joshua grinted his teeth. Lexie pulled his hand. “Josua, why don’t we co take a look at other stores…”
Just now, when Joshua was defeated by Hearst, Lexic was very unhappy. It was as if she was defeated by Anaya. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
It took her a lot of effort to keep Joshua by her side and becoinc Mrs. Maltz.
Anaya did nothing but got the favor of a more outstanding man.
All the good things went to Anaya alone!
Not only did Anaya make the company flourish, but she also received the favor of a big shot. Now, even Joshua, who Lexie managed to get with great difficulty, tended to favor hier…
Even if Lexie was extremely unwilling, she could only choose to retreat.
She had come today to try on wedding dresses, and it was unwise to entangle with Anaya.
It wouldn’t be too late for her to confront Anaya after she had secured hier identity as Mrs. Maltz.
A few days ago, Joshua had already abandoned Lexie during Karley’s inauguration ceremony. Thinking back on the following days, he also felt that he had done something wrong.
Joshua felt guilty for Lexie, so he listened to Lexie’s suggestion.
He nodded and was about to leave with Lexie.
Out of the corner of his cye, he caught a glimpse of something hanging in the bag that Anaya was carrying on her shoulder and suddenly stopped.
He stared at the thing for a long time and confirmed that he was not mistaken. Then he said, “Anaya, why is our wedding ring still hanging in your bag?”
