Whispers of betrayal (Selena and Ryan) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Anastasia looked at Alastor in shock and clenched her fingers tightly.

Anastasia was astonished to hear the name coming from Alastor.

“Jace… This shows that Alastor has investigated me for the purpose of divorcing me,” she thought to herself.

“Women shouldn’t be too headstrong, Anastasia” Alastor picked up the glass, put it aside, and continued to say, “That is the time for us to be honest and upfront with each other. I don’t want you to come looking for me, pleading for help later.”

Alastor said indifferently and thought, “That is my reminder to you-take up the good opportunity and consider it an exchange of resources. Don’t wait until you are at your wit’s end and have lost the chance before you come begging for me for help. Anastasia.”

“For Felicia’s sake, you can really be that unscrupulous, Anastasia said ironically with a smirk on her face. Then, she said, “I’m curious. How does it feel to have a blitz marriage with a woman that you haven’t loved for four years? And to think of your first love every day. Isn’t that agonizing, Alastor?”

Anastasia felt the burning sensation in her throat and the aching pain in her chest.

“What about you?” Alastor stood by the bed, his tall figure oozing an air of unspeakable gloom and cool indifference. He checked WhatsApp messages on his phone, looked up at Anastasia, and said again, “We’ve been married for four years. Do you know how often you’ve called out Jace’s name in the middle of the night?”

Anastasia’s heart tightened, and she took a deep breath.

“And just then, didn’t you call out his name too?” Alastor turned around and prepared a fresh batch of oral suspension syrup for Anastasia again. “I’ve asked the doctor. That kind of herbal medicine won’t interfere, so, drink up,” he said reassuringly.

There was buzzing in Anastasia’s ears, and her chest was heaving up and down as her breathing became rapid. “Don’t you dare use that dirty mind of yours to make assumptions about others relationships!”

“The relationship between Jace and I is totally different from that of Alastor and Felicia. Coming from Alastor, he seems to have tarnished what Jace and I have. If it weren’t for Jace, I would have died six years ago,” Anastasia thought.

“Think about it carefully, Anastasia. All you have to do is recommend Felicia to Mr. Lexington, I can arrange an expert consultation for you.” Alastor negotiated and guessed that Anastasia would agree to his terms.

“Grandma Penelope is sick and has been hospitalized. You knew of it earlier than I did. You just couldn’t wait to use that to threaten me, Alastor?” Anastasia sneered and concluded in her heart, “This is Alastor.”

In fact, she had known Alastor’s personality and character for a long time. He had always practiced that in his corporate business dealings. He would not reveal his true intentions until he knew with absolute certainty that he had the upper hand.

It was the same at that moment. He came prepared.
