Whispers of betrayal (Selena and Ryan) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

Alastor watched Anastasia as she went mad and acted hysterically

His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. The words that Alastor wanted to say were at the tip of his tongue, yet he couldn’t bear to speak.

“Felicia’s art exhibition needs Charles to step in to enhance the popularity and recognition in the industry. Meanwhile, I have arranged for Mrs. Gunn’s surgery, so I hope you don’t try anything funny behind my back,” Alastor said after Anastasia had calmed herself down.

“As expected, he came back only for Felicia,” she scoffed inwardly.

Anastasia covered her forehead and slumped on the couch, breathing rapidly.

It was Felicia again.

Anastasia realized that after Alastor’s adultery was exposed and they had signed the divorce agreement, he would always return to see her for Felicia’s sake.

Snowball heard their quarrel and curled up on the sofa in fear. Sometimes it would meow twice as well.

After Alastor kicked Snowball away that day, even though its eyes were filled with yearning, Snowball dared not approach

him

agam.

It merely curled up cautiously in Anastasia’s arms, comforting her.

Even animals would choose to stay away after being hurt by their loved ones.

“Charles is only my mentor, not my father. If he does not like Felicia’s artwork, even if you personally visit him, he will not show respect “Anastasia’s voice was weak. She could do nothing about this matter at all.

“Aren’t you full of tricks up your sleeve, Anastasia?” Alastor laughed sarcastically “If you visit him personally, he will show respect toward you, won’t he?”

Anastasia’s hand that was holding Snowball suddenly froze. She looked up at Alastor in shock.

Initially, he suspected her relationship with Charles was ambiguous, but he still instructed her to visit him in person so she

could exert her influence toward him.

Even though he did not make his words clear, Alastor’s disgusting intentions were obvious enough.

He wanted Anastasia to sleep with Charles.

It seemed to Alastor that Anastasia’s achievements today were also the result of her sleeping with him.

Anastasia breathed shakily. After feeling calm for a brief moment, she had to experience yet another emotional rollercoaster ride, falling rapidly off the cliff this time.

“Is Felicia that important to Alastor that he makes so much effort for her?” she wondered.

“You are really something, Alastor. We haven’t announced our divorce yet, do you want the public to think that I cheat on you?” Anastasia stammered in a hoarse voice.
