Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 160
Anastasia took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. “I want you to come over, Alastor. Come here right now.”
“Anastasia, Felicia...” Alastor sighed as he could not leave.
Anastasia smiled bitterly. “If Felicia’s life is important, what about mine? Do you think I won’t make a scene?”
“Anastasia, you are sensible. You won’t be as unreasonable as her.” Alastor flattered Anastasia.
“Alastor, let me ask you one last time. Are you coming?” Anastasia was breathing heavily.
Someone shouted on Alastor’s end, “Mr. Lopez, Ms. Stewart has gone out of control!”
Before Anastasia could wait for Alastor’s answer, the phone had been hung up.
Holding the phone tightly, Anastasia lowered her head while smiling. Anastasia thought, “He said we should give each other
another chance. I was so pathetic to have trusted Alastor.”
At that moment, her phone rang.
Anastasia glanced at the message from Felicia. The latter texted: [Anastasia, do you like my gift?]
Anastasia took a deep breath, turned around, and went to a corner to calm herself down.
“Ms. Lawson, please answer our question.”
“Anastasia, nobody has come to your art exhibition. What do you think is the reason?”
“Those rich men’s wives and CEOs who bought your paintings once stopped showing up. Are your paintings worthless without
Alastor?”
Anastasia stood trembling at the side, supporting herself on the wall with cold fingers,
Worried, Samantha came over to comfort her in a low voice, “Annie, are you okay?”
Anastasia shook her head, but her tears were out of control. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Lexington. Alastor... he’s not coming.”

No one was willing to clarify for her. She felt sorry for Charles and Samantha. She thought, “I’m the one who caused this. I’m the
sinner.”
Samantha sighed. “Annie, do you know why Charles felt bad for you? You are the most talented student he has ever taught.
Charles’ proud of you.”
Anastasia raised her hand and covered her forehead, trying to stop her tears.
Samantha also felt sorry for Anastasia. “Annie, you are the best and brightest star. You could have developed better, but you
chose the least reliable method-believing in and marrying a man. Do you know why someone with a powerful background like
Alastor chose to go on a blind date and have a blitz marriage with people from ordinary families?”.
Anastasia was stunned for a moment before shaking her head.
In fact, she had asked Alastor why he chose an ordinary matchmaking center and went on a blind date with an ordinary girl like
her when he could have picked one of the socialites as his wife with his conditions.
Samantha held Anastasia’s hands. “It’s because, from the start, he never wanted to be married to you until the end. Do you know
that the heiresses of wealthy families depend on their talents and wealth to build their nobleness? They only need to polish their
looks and talents to make their families proud. On the other hand, girls from ordinary families like us are cheap and easy to fool
and control. Men can end the relationship at any time. I’ve been through it.”
She thoroughly analyzed Alastor’s psychology. She remarked inwardly, “I guess Alastor must have that kind of mindset. That’s
why he chose to marry a blind date casually back then.”
“You guys don’t have an emotional foundation. Did he marry you because he likes you? No, because marrying you will not be
expensive. You didn’t have a wedding or even a sense of ceremony. He did nothing, yet he married a housewife who is always
centered on him.”
Anastasia’s breathing was shaky.
“That’s why he doesn’t want you to do well in your career. He never acknowledged your career. He thought he could always
control you just because he could support you. His absence has shown his attitude-that he thinks your career is not important.
Even if your art exhibition ends up as a failure today, you can still live well off with him. However, Anastasia, you should think
about yourself.”

Anastasia bit her lower lip tightly. Anastasia mused inwardly, “I get it... I really get it. Although Alastor persuaded me to his so-
called trial of giving each other another chance, he still hoped I would rely on him as much as before and put him at the center
without any friends or my own career. Alastor wants me to live under him like a dodder.”
“Anastasia, as a daughter, you are not filial to your parents. As a wife, you are not loyal to your husband. You and Alastor haven’t
gotten the divorce certificate yet, right? Yet, you’ve already announced your relationship with another man.” At that moment,
Sienna was spreading scandals about Anastasia loudly.
They would only stop after they made Anastasia give up on Alastor for real.
