Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 148

“Alastor, I’m not your possession. I’m a person with feelings.” Anastasia pointed to her heart. “You hurt me so much, and yet you’re still asking me why I’m holding on to these feelings.”

“Is it impossible for us to start over?” Alastor asked in a low voice.

“Let’s end this.” Anastasia felt tired of the relationship.

Alastor remained silent and looked at Anastasia.

However, Anastasia turned around and walked to the subway, ignoring Alastor.

Her marriage had really come to an end at this point.

Anastasia looked up at the night sky, feeling her breath become heavier.

It had been four years since she met Alastor for the first time.

She trusted him wholeheartedly, but he squandered her sincerity.

Life offered numerous possibilities, and she had merely made a wrong choice among them, and that was all.

It was late, and there weren’t many people at the subway station except for a few staggering drunken individuals.

Anastasia subconsciously tried to avoid them.

“Why are you avoiding me?” A drunkard seemed to be unhappy with Anastasia’s dodging.

“Why are you avoiding me?” Drunk people tended to target those they perceived as vulnerable. It was human nature.

There were several tall men beside Anastasia. They also moved aside, but the drunkard only pointed at Anastasia and scolded her.

Anastasia didn’t want to provoke the drunkard, so she turned sideways and was about to leave.

However, the drunkard rushed over.

“Get lost!”

Anastasia was startled and turned around to see Alastor grabbing the drunkard and pushing him away.

Anastasia frowned and continued walking as if she didn’t know Alastor.

She didn’t want to get involved with Alastor anymore.

“Why are you following me?” Anastasia looked at Alastor angrily when she got on the subway.

“I said I would send you home. It’s not safe for you to be alone,” Alastor replied in a low voice.

“When are we getting a divorce certificate?” Anastasia asked.

“Don’t you want me to go to your art exhibition?” Alastor changed the topic.

Anastasia frowned and thought, “Is he going to play dumb?”

“Are you going?” Anastasia asked.

“Yes.” Alastor nodded.

“Felicia is also hosting an árt exhibition on the same day. Are you sure you want to attend mine?” Anastasia asked, seeking confirmation.

“Yes,” Alastor said, loosening his tie as he leaned back in his seat. “If you want me to attend, I will.”

“I was hoping you could join. After all, this is my last art exhibition, but it doesn’t matter anymore.” Anastasia suddenly felt that it was not so important anymore.

Life was short anyway, so the end was not important.

“Anastasia, I’m sorry…” Alastor suddenly said.

Anastasia was momentarily stunned and unsure of his intentions.

“About Sienna and Xavier fabricating the photos, I’ve misunderstood you. Sorry.” The police had informed Alastor about Xavier’s confession, and it was evident that Alastor was somewhat taken aback.

Because of the photos, Alastor had misunderstood Anastasia for so many years.

Anastasia clenched her hands tightly.

She thought, “Sorry? What’s the point of apologizing?”

“Anastasia, if Sienna broke the law, you should leave it to the police instead of handling it yourself. Do you understand what I’m saying?” Alastor’s gaze was deep and worried. “Jason is an impulsive person who ignores the law. I don’t want you to be influenced by him,” he added.

Anastasia frowned and didn’t know what Alastor would say next.

“No matter your relationship with Harold, it’s all in the past now. You were young back then, and I believe you were deceived. But you shouldn’t engage in illegal activities with Jason because he sent a video. He has a history of being impulsive and was in a juvenile detention center. You shouldn’t act recklessly.” Alastor was concerned that Sienna’s disappearance might be connected to Anastasia.

Anastasia furrowed her brow and gazed at Alastor. “Do you believe I had something to do with Sienna’s disappearance?”

“I hope it’s not, but I suspect Jason is involved.” Alastor’s gaze bore into Anastasia’s. “After Sienna vanished, I had someone look into it. When news of the incident went viral, Jason tracked her down. He forcibly entered her home, and then she disappeared.”
