Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 83
Jason parked the car at Hillscester Mansion.
Only when the car came to a stop did Anastasia look in shock at the mansion.
“Isn’t this the high-end luxury home Jason showed me that day?” she thought to herself. “You rented this place?” she asked
him.
Was he crazy or out of his mind: “How much is the monthly rent here?”
Seeing Anastasia startled, Jason chuckled. “Didn’t I tell you? My friend asked me to help him design this place. He’s abroad and
won’t be back for a while. The house isn’t safe if it’s vacant, and instead of charging him for design work, I get to live here for
free.”
Anastasia sighed in relief. “You scared me.”
For a house like this, let alone buying, even renting would cost tens of thousands of dollars per month.
Jason got out of the car, opened the door for Anastasia, and held an umbrella to escort her inside.
“Your coat... Anastasia noticed that Jason was only wearing a loose undershirt and damp pants, as his soaked coat was still in
her dryer.
“You can pick it up tomorrow. Aren’t you moving out?” Jason deliberately left his coat behind.
“Yeah, tonight I’ll look for a place Anastasia nodded.
Jason cleared his throat. “What’s your budget for renting a house?”
Anastasia pondered “With my reputation tarnished, my paintings won’t likely sell well. So, I’m looking for a place a bit farther from
the city center”
“Well, how about we share the rent?’ Jason looked at Anastasia carnestly.
For a moment, Anastasia felt like Jason’s sly fox tail was about to wag with excitement.

“Share the rent with you?” Anastasia squinted. I can’t afford a place like this that you have.”
“My friend won’t be back for a year or two. It’s a waste for me to live here alone, and I don’t trust renting it out to someone else. If
you pay me 400 dollars a month for rent... It’ll work, Jason said seriously. “This way. It lightens my burden a bit.”
Anastasia glanced at the mansion’s surroundings.
Looking at this place, she thought that 400 dollars a month probably wouldn’t even get her a bathroom here.
“If you’re worried about burdening me and don’t want to live together. I can find my own place. It’s a waste for me to live here,
and you can stay on your own,” Jason worried that landlords would make things difficult for Anastasia if she rented a place
elsewhere.
Anastasia sighed in resignation. “I can help share the burden of the rent, I’ll pay you 1,000 dollars a month, but I have a
condition”
This was an upscale neighborhood, almost inaccessible to reporters and random passersby. Thus, no one would notice she and
Jason living in the same house. So, the security level here satisfied Anastasia.
Plus, the house was surrounded by a lake view and had a serene environment, which was perfect for her to focus on her work.
Time was running out, and she needed to leave behind some of her creations.
“Just tell me!” Jason nodded.
“No interference in each other’s personal lives, and no entanglements between us.” Anastasia reminded Jason not to do
anything foolish for her sake.
“Anastasia, we’re already too intertwined... Jason looked somewhat innocent and pulled out his phone, showing it to
Anastasia.
Anastasia was taken aback and hastily grabbed the phone.
The journalists got a clear picture of Jason’s facel
The headline read, [Surprise Mr. Alastor Lopez’s Wife Is Already Divorced And Is Dating New Boyfriend After The Divorce.]

What shocked Anastasia even more than the headline was the top trending search result.
[Plot Twist: The Truth About Mr. Alastor Lopez and Mrs. Anastasia Lopez’s Divorce Mr. Alastor Lopez Is Revealed to Be The
Cheater.]
[Plot Twist: Mr. Alastor Lopez Had An Affair With His Female Secretary.]
[Shocking Revelation: Mr. Alastor Lopez’s Female Secretary Turns Out to Be His First Love from Years Ago.]
Anastasia’s previous news about being a mistress, a homewrecker, and a sugar baby had been immediately overshadowed by
this news about Alastor and Felicia.
“Who could have done this?” thought Anastasia.
“Alastor?” she continued thinking.
It was impossible. He valued the company’s reputation more, and even if he wanted to suppress the trending topic about her, he
couldn’t possibly use negative news about himself to do so.
Who was helping her?
Anastasia was surprised to find that Sienna had canceled her Twitter account when she searched for it.
What was Sienna afraid of?
At this time, shouldn’t Sienna take advantage of the situation against her?

Anastasia thought that the video clip was edited quite well and she couldn’t argue against it in any way.
Now, all the negative news about Anastasia was suppressed.
While it wasn’t enough to redeem Anastasia’s reputation entirely, at least she had temporarily stepped out of the storm’s eye.
“Who’s helping me?” Anastasia hoarsely asked.
“Now everyone knows I’m your boyfriend.” Jason furrowed his brows.

Anastasia looked at Jason, thinking he should be worried or angry, but he seemed somewhat excited.
“I’ll clear things up...” Anastasia sighed, her head throbbing.
Her biggest fear was dragging Jason down, but now it seemed he was already in the mud with her.
There was nowhere to escape.
“Clarifying will only make people remember me more vividly,” Jason reminded Anastasia.
Anastasia sat on the sofa absentmindedly, her fingers feeling numb.
Who was helping her?
Before long, another search result shot up the trending list.
“Zachary, CEO of Quinn Group, Personally Debunks Rumors of Being A Female University Student’s Sugar Daddy.”
