Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 157

“Anastasia… The art exhibition is about to start,” Christopher whispered and took a deep breath.

It was almost time, yet nobody came.

In the past, every year’s art exhibition would be crowded a few hours ago before the opening.

People would come for Alastor, Anastasia’s painting style, or just for Charles. There would always be a massive wave of a crowd.

Even if she became a housewife after graduation, Anastasia’s painting still had a high reputation in the industry.

Of course, although she was highly talented, she had also made a lot of effort.

Yet now, the uproar of public opinion easily destroyed everything she had.

“Anastasia…” Kimberly also panicked. “Is Alastor not here yet?”

Anastasia stood there with no confidence.

In fact, she didn’t care whether others came or not.

There were so many media, yet she did not care if they were here to see her making a fool of herself.

However, Alastor promised to clarify the rumors for her and Charles.

It was Alastor’s promise.

“Ms. Lawson, no one visits your art exhibition up till now except for some students. How do you feel?”

“Ms. Lawson, is it true that you had an extramarital affair?”

“Anastasia, someone said you had an inappropriate relationship with your mentor, Charles. Is it true? Is it true that Mr. Charles Lexington was suspended for further investigation?”

Anastasia stood where she was and looked at the flashlights from those reporters numbly.

In the Digital Era, public opinion was like a sharp blade that could crush people to pieces.

They were no longer living in an era when one could prove one’s innocence by declaring that one had a clear conscience and did not fear accusation.

These people wanted popularity and trending headlines. They would make up all kinds of rumors to get what they wanted Those rumors were like a pool of concentrated sulfuric acid corroding everyone’s face.

“Mr. Lopez hasn’t shown up yet. Are you indeed on bad terms with him due to problems in your marriage?”

“Regarding those indecent videos on the internet, please explain whether you have an incestuous relationship with your stepmother’s younger brother.”

“Please get out.” Christopher protected Anastasia and looked at the reporters angrily. “This is an art exhibition. We won’t answer anything irrelevant to the art exhibition. Please go out.”

“She’s not the person you think. She is talented and kind. The one who cheated in their marriage is Alastor, not Anastasia. Please leave.” Christopher’s eyes turned red.

He had been an intern working for Anastasia since his junior year four years ago. Every year, he would help Anastasia deal with the annual art exhibition.

Without Anastasia, his graduation artwork would not have passed.

Anastasia had helped him a lot. He knew how to be grateful.

“Christopher, let me do the talking.” Anastasia pulled Christopher behind her.

Tll answer your questions…” Anastasia took a deep breath and faced the reporters alone.

How she wished that Alastor would show up when she finished answering the question, stand by her side, and support and fight for her.

Anastasia’s e

s eyesight was slightly blurred, and she forced herself to hold back tears.

“I haven’t cheated on Alastor in our marriage. Mr. Charles Lexington is my mentor, and the rumors online are all false. Those who spread those rumors are vicious… Anastasia was short of breath, and she kept focusing her glance at the venue

entrance.

She really hoped Alastor would show up in time.

Even if she did not have any hopes for Alastor, she still wanted him to show up.

“Look, it’s Anastasia’s father.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Go over there. Anastasia’s father is here.”

“Anastasia, your father said that you were unfilial and you did not show any concern when he was seriously ill in bed. Is that

true?”

Anastasia’s words were interrupted, and all the reporters flocked toward the entrance.

Zeke, whose mouth tilted to one side, was pushed in the wheelchair by Sienna.

His right hand curled up, and his eyes and mouth were slanted. He slurred as he tried to speak but could not say anything clearly.

Sienna smiled provocatively at Anastasia. “Anastasia, it’s been a long time.”

Sienna didn’t seem to go missing but was taken away for protection.
