Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chatper 166

Anastasia’s eyes were teary, but she was still unable to say a word.

“Anastasia, maybe Alastor is also a good person. However, he is not suitable for you since he doesn’t cherish you. It will only make you suffer in the relationship.”

Charles sighed and said, “Stop crying. You are an adult now. Today is your important day. You have to show your presence with great aura and confidence.”

Anastasia nodded with a smile and wiped away her tears.

“Well, all my students are there. Don’t embarrass yourself in front of everyone. Have your seniors arrived?”

Anastasia nodded in

“Remember, you’re not alone. We will back you up from behind the curtain.”

Anastasia felt warm inside. Anastasia suddenly felt that she had many people to support her instead of only Alastor.

She lost Alastor, but she did not lose the whole world.

The art exhibition ended smoothly, and Anastasia’s paintings were still sold out.

However, this time, Anastasia did not donate the money.

“Anastasia, we’ve finished cleaning up. This art exhibition is so amazing that even our paintings have been bought,” Christopher said shyly; he felt a little embarrassed.

“I’ve always been optimistic about your ability, and you’ll have a bright future waiting for you ahead.” Anastasia smiled and patted Christopher on the shoulder. “Thank you for today.”

“Anastasia, don’t mention it. You’re my teacher,” Christopher scratched his hair.

Then, I’ll take you as my student. If you have any difficulties in the future, come to me.” Anastasia continued to mutter, “As long as I’m still alive.”

Anastasia always held a clear distinction between gratitude and grudges.

“Anastasia!” Christopher was so excited that he almost jumped up. Christopher asked, “Are you really allowed me to be your/ student?”

“Although I’m not qualified enough,” Anastasia replied with a smile.

“You are qualified.” Christopher spun around excitedly.

Anastasia smiled helplessly.

After sending everyone off, Anastasia and Christopher checked all the accounts and settled the venue rental cost with the person in charge of the art gallery.

“Anastasia, the art gallery staff had said the venue is free of charge provided for you.” Christopher ran back excitedly.

Anastasia was stunned for a moment and looked at Jason subconsciously.

As if he did not know anything, Jason packed up the things.

“How could it be free?” Anastasia asked in a low voice.

That was the best art gallery in Hork.

“The curator said that Mr. Zabinski and Mr. Livingston like your paintings very much, saying that the venue will provide for you free of charge as long as you organize an art exhibition here in the future.” Christopher was so excited that he wanted to jump up.

Anastasia widened her mouth in stunned. Anastasia thought, “Although I’m unable to organize an art exhibition again, I’m still grateful for their kindness.”

“You guys can go back first.”

Anastasia walked to Jason nervously after she sent Christopher and the others off. “Can… you ask Mr. Zabinski and Mr. Livingston to have dinner together? They have helped me a lot this time. I should treat them to dinner.”

Jason was stunned for a moment and thought about it.

“I-It doesn’t matter. I know it’s difficult to ask them out since they’re busy. Or else, we can send them some gifts.” Anastasia waved her hand quickly.

Jason smiled. “That’s not about it. Instead, they called me just now, saying that they want to treat you to a meal. Let them treat us since they are rich.”

“T-That won’t do!” Anastasia waved her hand in panic. “They didn’t even charge me with any venue fee.”

“There’s no need. Really.” Jason smiled and massaged Anastasia’s shoulder. “You must be exhausted.”

Anastasia also smiled and replied, “I didn’t do much. I just stood there…”

Then, she thought, “However, it seems I’m exhausted because the muscles all over my body are sore.”

“Anastasia, I rented a studio apartment in the North Garden. If you don’t want to stay in the mansion, you can move out and live together with me,” Jason asked in a low voice. Jason was afraid that Anastasia would refuse him.

“Anastasia!”

Anastasia glanced at Jason and was about to say something when she saw Alastor run in.

He seemed to be in a hurry.

He stood on the spot to catch his breath. His hair was a little messy, and he seemed to have run for a long time.

“Annie…” Alastor’s voice was a little hoarse, and he seemed to realize that he was late on arrival.
