Chapter 256 Because Anaya Provokes Me
Bryant had come from an upper-class family. Due to that, everyone around him tried very hard, wanting to please him.
Growing up, he was the one who got to bully people, not the
other way around.
But even so, being slapped by Anaya like this, Bryant did not feel a trace of anger.
With his face tilted from the slap, he remained motionless for a long time.
Then Bryant muttered, “I said that I would make it up to her.
But she still didn’t want to come back. I was left with no choice.
“I mean, I reached out to her so many times, begging her and saying sorry to her, but she insisted on running away to a place
without me…”
As he spoke, he got emotional, with his voice louder and his eyes reddening. “She forced me!
“I have already begged for her forgiveness like that and even knelt down in front of everyone, saying sorry for what I have
done before. But she refused to accept me again. That left me
with no choice but to lock her up.
“I mean. I slept with her before. She actually lost nothing…”
“Lunatic!”
Anaya couldn’t hold it in and thus kicked him, along with his chair, hard to the ground.
And since Bryant’s hands were tied to the back of the chair, he
fell on his back with his two arms crushed heavily under the
chair. Due to that, he groaned in pain with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
Bryant roared with difficulty, “Anaya, help me up!”
Anaya ignored him and turned to leave angrily, leaving him
struggling on the ground.
Anaya thought, I shouldn’t have come here in the first place!
What a bastard!
Leaving the villa, she drove for quite a long time before she
could calm herself down. Then she returned to the company.
The moment she arrived at the company, she saw Joshua
waiting at the company’s door.
Seeing her, Joshua strode over right away.
“Anaya, where have you been?”
Anaya, still angry, controlled herself so as not to take it out on
Joshua “It has nothing to do with you.”
Joshua asked again, “Do you have any idea where Bryant is?”
Today, Alfred called Joshua, saying that Bryant might have been caught by Anaya and thus asking Joshua to save Bryant from Anaya.
Therefore, Joshua had people ask around. And it seemed that Anaya was very likely to be holding Bryant now.
Hearing Bryant’s name, Anaya sounded even more displeased. “I don’t know.”
Joshua noticed the change in her emotions and was even more certain that Bryant was in Anaya’s hands. “But I heard from Alfred that you were looking for Bryant yesterday.”
“What are you trying to say?” Anaya asked impatiently.
“According to the police station, you reported Silvia missing yesterday and suspected that Bryant was behind it.
“Silvia has returned to the hotel today, and yet Bryant is still missing.”
Joshua asked as he scrutinized her sharply, “Did you have Bryant caught?”
Actually, Joshua had reached out to Silvia today, who called the security guards right away, knowing that Joshua was looking for Bryant
That was why Joshua had to come to Anaya instead.
“Mr. Maltz, if you suspect me, you can investigate me however
you like. But don’t think I will tell you anything about it.”
“Actually, you being behind the whole thing is above
suspicion,” Joshua said in a firm tone. “I am here today to ask
you to let him go.
“Illegal imprisonment will result in a sentence. You’d better think it through.”
“Don’t try to threaten me. If you are so sure, where is the
evidence? And since you don’t have any, I’m gonna have to leave me alone,” said Anaya as she walked past him. “I’m very
annoyed now.”
Joshua turned around and threatened, looking after her, “If
you hand Bryant over now, I can talk to Alfred so that you won’t suffer from any consequences of it.”
Anaya said coldly, “No need.”
Just by listening to it, Anaya knew that it was Yarden.
And by the time she looked up, Yarden was already walking
over to her.
“Anaya, it’s been a while. I didn’t expect to see you the very day I was back from abroad. What a coincidence!
“I missed you a lot while I was abroad. If it weren’t for some bastard who made me stay there, I would have come back long
before to see you…
Yarden opened his arms, wanting to give Anaya a hug. At that moment, he sensed a cold and frightening gaze being cast at
him from behind.
Yarden turned his head, only to see Hearst’s face, which made
Yarden tremble a bit.
Yarden thought, fuck, why is he here?
Back then, when Yarden was walking over, he found the man, who was sitting opposite Anaya, somewhat familiar. But since Yarden was so excited about seeing Anaya here, he brushed
aside that man.
If Yarden had known that Hearst was here, Yarden would not
have come over
At the thought of this, Yarden, who had always been fearless, retracted his arms right away and stood properly while
greeting Hearst, “Good evening, Mr. Helms.”
Hearst nodded lightly.
“You know each other?” Anaya asked in surprise.
Yarden thought, you tell me!
If it weren’t for Hearst who plotted with my family against me, I wouldn’t have gone home these days. Worse still, I had a
blind date while I was at home!
Yarden said with a humble smile, even though he was displeased, “I know him. Prudential Group is one of my
family’s business connections. I’ve seen him a few times
before.”
Anaya asked again, “What did you just say? Bastard?”
Yarden laughed it off. “It’s nothing. Just someone that isn’t worthy of any attention at all.”
