Chapter 93
“I’ll come over to find you” Jason was worried.
Anastasia panicked and tried to stop him. “No need! Jason, Grandma Andrea doesn’t know about my divorce from Alastor, so… You don’t have to come.”
Anastasia was afraid that if Jason came, he might end up in a conflict with Alastor.
Given Jason’s temperament, he and Alastor would surely butt heads.
On the other end of the phone, Jason remained silent.
“I’ll hang up now.” Anastasia hurriedly ended the call.
Once Anastasia ended the call, Felicia leaned against the sink, smiling. “Anastasia, can I ask you something? What exactly were you thinking? Between Alastor and Jason, you choose a poor guy?”
“You’d better speak with some respect, Anastasia warned Felicia with a stern glance.
“Respect? Heh, it seems you don’t know how Jason managed to get the opportunity to study abroad, or how he has survived these years overseas. He has done all sorts of things to make money I heard… Whether it’s wealthy older women or older men who are fond of men, be’s willing to keep them company. In this aspect, he’s quite like you.” Felicia sneered.
Anastasia clenched her hands tightly, not wanting to listen to Felicia’s nonsense.
Jason was not that kind of person
However, Felicia clearly didn’t want to let Anastasia go. “Look at these photos. Felicia chased after Anastasia and showed
them to her.
“You should know how much this car is worth, right? It belongs to Samuel Zabinski, the richest Clusian. He’s probably in his fifties this year, unmarried, and fond of men. It’s rumored that his vast empire will eventually go to his only nephew, the real scion of the Gunn family. Do you know about this?” Felicia asked Anastasia.
Everyone in the business circle knew that the true scion of Gunn Group wasn’t just born with a silver spoon but had been the sole heir of Gunn Group since birth. Not to mention, his maternal family’s influence was even more formidable.
His maternal uncle in the Gunn family was none other than Samuel, the richest Clusian.
-Samuel had come out of the closet early on, openly acknowledging his intention to leave his wealth to his nephew.
“Do you know why I suspect Jason is the scion of the Gunn family? This Gunn family’s scion is quite mysterious. Jason has the Gunn surname and has been seen with Samuel a few times. Many people speculate that he’s the Gunn family’s scion. Little did they know he’s just a decoy. Felicia sneered.
Later on, at a social event, Felicia encountered the Gunn family’s real scion. He had an unremarkable appearance, with greasy hair and overly dressed.
It was only then that Felicia had someone investigate Jason.
It turned out that he not only had a criminal record but also a tarnished reputation. He slept with numerous wealthy women and older men.
“This kind of man, except for that face, is really disgusting. You two really are a perfect match Felicia continued to provoke Anastasia.
Anastasia’s fingers clenched so tightly that they went numb, and she raised her hand to slap Felicia. “Keep your mouth shut. You can insult me all you want, but try insulting Jason and I’ll end you.”
Anastasia’s gaze became significantly dark, and her voice trembled. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She didn’t know what Jason had experienced over the years, but regardless of his experiences, Anastasia felt it was her fault.
It was her fault that Jason had gone through things he didn’t want to.
-She was indebted to Jason, and she didn’t know how she could ever repay him.
“Anastasia! You hit mel Stop pretending. Who do you think you are to keep hitting me over and over again?” Felicia was furious.
Felicia raised her hand to hit Anastasia
However, the slap never landed on Anastasia’s face as Alastor caught hold of her wrist.
Alastor frowned as he looked at Felicia. “What’s going on?”
Felicia looked at Alastor with a sense of grievance, and she immediately flung herself into his embrace. “Alastor, she hit me first Anastasia slapped me just because I mentioned the scandalous things Jason has been involved in overseas, both with men and women.”
Alastor frowned as his cold gaze locked onto Anastasia. “I’ve looked into it. Those things are true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Jason.”
Anastasia’s breathing was shaky. “Even if it is true, it’s not an excuse for you to insult him. You can say whatever you want about me, but when it concerns Jason, I won’t let you off.”
Alastor’s face darkened. “Anastasia, do you really defend him that much?”
“Yes, I do. Alastor, he is my bottom line, and you’ve crossed it over and over, pushing it too far…” Anastasia’s fingers clenched tightly into her palm.
Alastor’s eyes brimmed with anger as he stared at Anastasia. He was clearly infuriated.
“Huh, your bottom line! Very well then!” Alastor was truly furious.
“Alastor, make her go for a DNA paternity test right away. If the child isn’t from the Lopez family, get her out of here quickly. If she’s willing to be fond of a filthy man who sleeps around, just let her be. Sooner or later, she will regret it.” Felicia continued to embellish.
Anastasia leaned against the wall in a flustered state. The DNA paternity test was unavoidable.
If they really conducted the amniotic fluid test, she was afraid that neither the child nor herself would be able to cope.
She didn’t know what she should do.
Zachary still hadn’t responded, so it was clear he wouldn’t come to rescue her.
Her eyes were searing with strong emotion, and Anastasia lowered her gaze in resignation.
