Chapter 132
Jason walked to Anastasia and pulled her into his arms. “Alastor, you lost when you didn’t trust her.”
He continued, “Besides, you crossed the bottom line of a marriage.” Jason glanced at Felicia, who was eavesdropping in the distance. “I should thank you for giving up on Anastasia for a snobby and opportunistic woman like Felicia”
Alastor looked at Jason as he clenched his fingers tightly.
“Can anyone enter the chamber of commerce’s banquet as they wish now?” Being afraid Jason would speak ill of her, Felicia ran over promptly. “Security! Does this man have an invitation? Why is he in here?”
Felicia was still shouting.
Anastasia grabbed Jason’s wrist. “Let’s go.”
With that, Anastasia left with Jason.
“Anastasia!” Alastor’s voice was low. “Think it over.”
However, Anastasia didn’t say anything and left with Jason.
Though Anastasia’s mind went blank, she didn’t want Jason to be bullied.
“Where did you rent your suit?” Anastasia turned around and asked.
Jason remained silent while following closely behind Anastasia.
“Where is your ride?” Anastasia went around, looking for Jason’s scooter.
“It’s at the parking lot. How can it be on the roadside?” Jason was lost for words by her question.
“You parked your scooter at the parking lot?” Anastasia was surprised.
Jason could tell that Anastasia was in a bad mood and reached out to pull her wrist. “Anastasia, let’s talk.”
Anastasia avoided his gaze. “Nothing… There’s nothing I want to say. What is there to talk about anyway? Let’s go home.”
“Anastasia, why did you come here when you knew that Alastor would humiliate you at the banquet?” Jason wanted to know the answer.
She knew that Alastor and Felicia were trying to ruin her reputation.
Now, everyone at the banquet knew that Felicia had succeeded in taking over Anastasia’s place and that Anastasia got dumped by Alastor.
No one would go to Anastasia’s art exhibition even more.
To Jason’s probing question, Anastasia stood silently by the roadside without saying anything.
Jason looked at Anastasia and didn’t speak for a long time.
A man who came outside to take out the trash came over and looked at Anastasia and Jason with a wary face. “Is my scooter in the way?”
Jason was dumbfounded at first then he smiled. “Sorry, no.”
Anastasia was pulled away by Jason to the parking space aside. “Get on. I’ll take you for some hot chicken wings, okay?”
Jason knew that Anastasia loved hot chicken wings.
The ordinary hot chicken wings could satisfy Anastasia and make her happy.
However, Alastor did not have even the slightest idea about this.
This was because Alastor never ate hot chicken wings. Also, he thought that the dish was overwhelmingly rich and unhealthy.
After she heard what Jason said, Anastasia wiped her tears and nodded. “Hmm! I want some hot chicken wings.
She hadn’t eaten something she liked in four years, all because of Alastor.
“I knew it. I shouldn’t have tried to fit in a circle that I don’t belong to. It was really tiring,” she thought.
