Whispers of betrayal (Selena and Ryan) novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97

Anastasia curled up in bed and cried for a long time after hanging up the phone.

She was not sure what she was crying about..

Was it due to her miserable life, or was it due to the baby in her belly?

The art exhibition was about to be held soon. Yet, the invitations that she sent out seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.

In fact, Anastasia was ready for this art exhibition to have near to no visitors.

However, it did not matter.

It did not matter if everyone went to Felicia’s.

She just wanted to finish her last art exhibition and draw a perfect end to her life.

The only thing was that she did not know if Alastor would come to her art exhibition after using their child as a threat.

Anastasia had already told Alastor that this would be her last art exhibition. If he really would not come, she would then give up completely.

Her stomach hurt so much that she felt like a knife was stabbing her.

It was only after drinking the warm chowder which was prepared by Jason that Anastasia felt better…

Lying on her bed, Anastasia fell asleep in a daze yet again.

Anastasia did not know how long she had slept. However, it was already dark when she woke up! Yet, Jason was not back yet.

Anastasia sat up and glanced at her phone. Jason was not back, nor did he call her.

Anastasia suddenly felt nervous, and her heart was beating hard.

Picking up her phone, Anastasia called Jason.

She could not help but wonder if anything had happened.

“Was Alastor at home? Did he hit Jason? Did he not allow Jason to bring Snowball?” Anastasia thought anxiously.

The call went through, but no one answered it.

Anastasia was scared and panicked.

Meanwhile, at Lopez Group.

“Stop looking at the contract, Alastor. Can’t you accompany me?” Felicia asked in a cute tone.

She was nearly sticking herself onto him.

Alastor’s expression was dark. Furrowing his brows, he turned to Felicia. “Don’t cross the line.”

Felicia was frightened by Alastor’s aura and stood nervously. “What happened, Alastor?”

“You’re asking me this?” Alastor spat, looking at Felicia icily. “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you this question?”

Felicia was flustered. “I… I don’t know…”

“Do you know why I kept staring at the DNA paternity test today?” Alastor asked as he threw the documents on the table. His every move exuded a strong sense of anger.

Felicia’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Alastor in panic and wanted to defend herself.

“I can give you whatever you want, Felicia. But you should know what you can ask for and what you should not, especially if it involves the children of the Lopez family. Understand?” Alastor warned.

He would not let her go

if she harmed the child.

“What happened, then?” she thought.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Anastasia received a call from Kimberly, who stuttered, “Anastasia…”

“What happened?” Anastasia asked, feeling her heart tighten.

“D-Don’t feel overwhelmed, Anastasia,” Kimberly started. “Snowball… Snowball is missing.”

Anastasia stood

up

for a split second and clenched her phone in fear. “What… What do you mean?”

She could not comprehend Kimberly’s words, suggesting Snowball was missing.

“You know how obedient Snowball is, right? Are you with Jason?” Anastasia asked, pretending to be calm.

“Jason and I have been looking for Snowball. Naomi came to the house and said that you were pregnant with the Lopez family’s child and could no longer keep the cat. Therefore, she asked people to take away the cat. Jason went berserk and tried looking for it all afternoon. Finally, he heard that Snowball was thrown out of the home.”

Kimberly knew that Snowball was a cat. However, to Anastasia, it was more like family and even emotional support.

Anastasia could not live without Snowball.

At least, she could not lose Snowball due to such a thing.

“Naomi is still at your home,” Kimberly cried out anxiously. “She didn’t let us watch the surveillance cameras at home. That’s why Jason could only try to find it around the residential area, We have no idea where Snowball is now.”

Anastasia took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Wait for me. I’ll be right there.”
