“I admitted to the public about my relationship with Jason to stop the rumor that he was a homewrecker. After all, it’s you who announced our divorce publicly first,” Anastasia explained. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Alastor’s hand froze for a moment with a fork in his hand. “It’s my fault for not keeping a close watch on this matter. Don’t worry about public opinion on the internet. It will be covered up soon. Besides, even if we were divorced, we can always remarry.”

Anastasia did not speak.

It was she who was harmed by public opinion.

“How do you plan to introduce our relationship in this art exhibition?” Anastasia looked at Alastor.

Alastor was silent briefly before he whispered, “For the time being, perhaps friends?”

They were still friends with each other even after their divorce.

Alastor’s company’s public relation team released the news of their divorce. If they announced that they were not divorced at that moment, it would also affect the company’s image.

Anastasia nodded. However, she did not really care.

She knew their marriage would end in divorce sooner or later.

Alastor picked up food for Anastasia. “I’m sorry. I will make it up to you.”

Whenever Alastor felt sorry for Anastasia, he promised to make it up to her.

Anastasia took a deep breath and shook her head. “No need.”

“I might not… come back tonight,” Alastor said.

“Just do your thing.” Anastasia did not ask him where he was going, just like before.

Alastor wanted to say something but stopped. Seeing that Anastasia did not ask, he said nothing more.

“Does it have anything to do with Felicia?” Anastasia asked.

Alastor’s hand froze for a moment with his fork in his hand again. “Steven called me and said that Felicia was hospitalized. It seemed to be quite serious. After all…”

After all, Felicia was pregnant with his baby.

Anastasia’s fingers also froze with her fork in her hand. She then nodded. “Whatever.”

She only hoped that the marriage would end soon after the experiment.

“Anastasia, I know you are not feeling well, but it has already happened. I…” Alastor did not know how to explain it.

“I just hope you don’t make any mistakes on the day of my art exhibition.” Anastasia only hoped that Alastor would not forget to attend the art exhibition.

That was because the art exhibition was not only the final chapter of her personal exhibition but also to clarify for Charles.

Public opinion on the internet affected Charles the most.

Since Charles was still under investigation, he could not attend the art exhibition then. However, Anastasia had to continue the art exhibition to stop those rumors.

Anastasia hoped that Alastor could help her clarify things.

She did not care about anything else. However, she could not get her mentor involved.

“I’ll be there tomorrow,” Alastor assured Anastasia.

“Mr. Lexington was affected because of my matter. Did you do it?” Anastasia asked casually.

“Are you referring to the rumors online and the reports against Charles?” Alastor put down his fork. “It’s not me. I wouldn’t have done such a mean thing.”

Anastasia nodded. She believed that Alastor would not do such a thing. “Then, please clarify for me tomorrow at the art exhibition. Please defend Mr. Lexington when you face the media tomorrow. He is my mentor.”

In this world, there were not many people who had good intentions toward Anastasia. Charles was definitely like a father to

her.

Anastasia did not get any fatherly love from Zeke. Since she went to college, only Charles cared for her as if he were her

To avoid suspicion, she had not contacted Charles for a long time. She had been waiting for the day of the art exhibition.

That was one of the reasons why Anastasia had been compromising and letting Alastor have his way.

“Anastasia, are you using me? Are you using me to clarify for you and Charles at the art exhibition?” Alastor asked.

Anastasia took a deep breath and put down her fork. “Don’t you think you should clarify for me as a husband? Mr. Lexington and I are innocent. I thought you knew it.”

Alastor was silent for a moment before nodding. “Okay, I’ll clarify for you.”

Anastasia’s fingers were numb as she knew Alastor had already labeled her in his heart.

Thus, no matter what she did, Alastor would think she was plotting something.
