Whispers of betrayal (Selena and Ryan) novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Zachary’s face darkened instantly. He glanced at Alastor with deep eyes and then at the woman behind Alastor. “Mr. Lopez, you’re quite a poor judge of character.”

Alastor frowned. Even if Felicia made a mistake first on this matter, he couldn’t let Zachary dominate the situation at this critical moment. “This is my personal business. It’s not up to you to lecture me, Mr. Quinn.”

“Hah… Zachary got up and looked at Anastasia. “When will you get divorced? Let me know.”

“If I don’t get divorced, she’ll never get the chance to gain a foothold. Why should I get divorced? I won’t do it.” Anastasia choked with sobs as she spoke, clenching her hands tightly.

She thought, “Didn’t Alastor prohibit me from speaking about the divorce and want to keep it a secret temporarily? I’ll keep it a secret, then. He only said that the divorce is confidential, but he didn’t say that his extramarital affair should be kept secret as well.”

“Mr. Lopez, I don’t know where your lover heard this filthy rumor. I knew Anastasia only because of work. My grandma liked landscape painting Anastasia is Mr. Lexington’s beloved mentee, so she was recommended by Mr. Lexington to go to my home during her junior year and painted a mural for me and my grandma, which took three months.”

Zachary was a person who was lazy to deal with others, but he took the initiative to clarify for Anastasia today.

“As for why someone makes the gossip so dirty, they probably have a dirty heart as well,” Zachary said, implying something

with his words

Alastor looked at Anastasia and kept quiet for a long while.

Anastasia knew Alastor wouldn’t believe her if she explained.

However, he would believe it if Zachary explained it.

This was the trust between Anastasia and Alastor, which was pathetic.

“Of course, I don’t deny it. Three months of interactions made me like Anastasia very much, and I did pursue her. But Anastasia had high standards at that time, so she cut off contact with me after directly rejecting me. After that, we’ve never crossed paths again Zachary was telling the truth

He pursued Anastasia before Moreover, he even went to her campus to give her flowers and bought many gifts for her. Yet, she returned all of them to him. After that, she broke off contact with him.

Later, he went to Anastasia’s art exhibition. He bought many paintings and even bid on them at a high price, but he knew Anastasia would not be with him

“But now it seems that Anastasia, your taste It needs to be improved,” Zachary said faintly and glanced at the time. “I came here today mainly to meet Mr. Cook Since Mr. Lopez and your lover slandered my relationship with Anastasia, I don’t think it is necessary for me to stay”

People in the business community were either partners or competitors.

Quinn Group and Alastor’s company had always cooperated with each other. It was a pity that Felicia’s malicious rumors caused the two sides to stop cooperating

But Anastasia knew Alastor wouldn’t blame Felicia. He would only blame Anastasia for exposing this matter in front of Zachary,

As expected, when Anastasia summoned up the courage to look at Alastor, what she received was his deep and gloomy gaze.

“How… ironic,” Anastasia thought.

Seeing that Anastasia seemed off, Zachary asked. “Anastasia, do you need me to drive you home?”
