Chapter 70
The mansion located in the middle of the lake was beautiful. The scenery and surrounding environment were impressive
too.
It was like a closed island surrounded by the lake, giving Anastasia the sense of security she wanted.
After getting out onto the balcony on the second floor, Anastasia gazed up at the dark sky filled with twinkling stars.
“It’s so beautiful.” Anastasia could not help praising. She wondered who the owner of such a house was.
*From the aesthetic point of view, the house owner should be a very stylish person,” Anastasia said softly as she glanced at Jason. “Actually, a simple painting can be placed in the activity room on the second floor. It’s not needed anywhere else. Putting too many will affect the perfection instead.”
Jason nodded. “Okay.”
“Jason, Grandma is going to undergo surgery. When are you leaving Hork?” Anastasia wanted Jason to leave Hork because it was time for her to decide..
It was about keeping or aborting the baby.
“Regardless of my decision, I’ll eventually have a falling out with Alastor and Felicia,” Anastasia thought.
Jason frowned. I won’t leave.”
“You know Alastor’s network of connections. Henry and Avery are courteous to him, and he has good connections in the business community and other social circles” After all, Anastasia had to admit that Alastor was powerful.
It was very risky for her to go against Alastor.
“Did he threaten you with me?” Jason clenched his fingers tightly.
Anastasia remained silent.
In fact, she might have been more unscrupulous if Jace was not involved.
“I have already signed the divorce agreement. Alastor and I will soon have a falling out. I’m not someone who will sit back and do nothing.” Anastasia said in a low voice.
“That’s why you waited so many years before sending your stepmother to prison. Upon returning. Jason heard Anastasia’s -stepmother, Meredith, was confirmed guilty of several crimes, such as intentional homicide, poisoning, and extramarital
affair. She was charged based on solid evidence.
Currently, a brain hemorrhage left Zeke paralyzed, Meredith was imprisoned, and Sienna had nothing left that she had to sleep on the streets. The latter’s former best friends did not care about her at all. As she could not even find a place to live, she could only rent a basement for tens of dollars рег month.
Anastasia had always been cruel. Moreover, those were some scumbags.
“Do you think I’ve gone too far, too?” Anastasia asked in a low voice.
Jason shook his head.
“As I’ve said, let me get my hands on those dirty jobs…” Jason said in a low voice after a long silence.
He was willing to kill people for Anastasia, which he did six years ago.
Anastasia’s eyes were reddened. After looking away, she uttered, “There’s no need.”
She did not need to rely on anyone anymore.
She just wanted to be alone until she died.
