Chapter 210
Anastasia paused for a moment, her fingers clenching tightly by instinct. ‘Did Kimberly go looking for Jason again!” Anastasia thought.
“Are you and Kimberly in cahoots!” Anastasia frowned.
“Does it really matter if we’re in cahoots? What matters s is that you realize what kind of person Jason truly is Alastor murmured quietly and then spoke again. “What would you like to eat? El join you.”
“Alastor, what do you plan to do with Lionel?” Noticing Alastor shifted the topic, Anastasia decided to follow suit.
Alastor rubbed his forehead. “Anastasia, he’s been with me for six years”
Anastasia let out a mocking laugh.
Yes, even Lionel had been with him for six years, longer than she had been with him. “So your feelings are measured by the length of acquaintance. One might think you’re open to both genders if they didn’t know any better,” she joked.~
“Anastasia” Alastor looked at her wearily. “Can we stop this? I’ll make sure he remembers,”
“And how exactly will you make him remember?” Anastasia watched Alastor as though entertained by the drama
“How do you think we should handle this?” Alastor tossed the question back to Anastasia. It seemed like Alastor wanted to see if Anastasia could act sensibly.
Lionel had worked for Alastor for six years. If Anastasia pushed her limits, she would come across as unreasonable
“Fire him,” Anastasia said casually. “He’s been causing trouble between you and me, framing and defaming me repeatedly. Do you really think we should keep someone like that around?”
Alastor frowned. “Anastasia, he’s my mom’s nephew…
Lionel had a special role. Naomi had arranged for him to be at Alastor’s side.
“I know. That’s why he acts so reckless.” Anastasia had always known, which was why she’d been quietly enduring. Yet, Lionel had become even
more outrageous.
“Give him a warning, and he’ll learn his lesson,” Alastor assured Anastasia
“So, in your opinion, everyone else will always matter more
ore than me. Why do you still have the nerve to keep postponing our divorce?” Anastasia felt a tingling in her fingers.
“Annie, some things can’t be explained in just a few words. Lionel Alastor was feeling frustrated and didn’t finish his sentence.
Anastasia looked away. “You take Lionel and Felicia with you and go live your perfect lives. No matter how complicated their relationships were, she didn’t want to be involved anymore.
“Anastasia, Jason isn’t the right match for you. Instead of choosing him, why not just stay with me?” Alastor spoke again.
“Don’t flatter yourself. Anastasia turned and lay down, ignoring Alastor completely.
Alastor didn’t say much more but just called for dinner. When dinner arrived, Anastasia still kept her eyes
reyes closed, her mind a chaotic mess
She thought, ‘It is 6:01 PM, and by now, Jason should have been here. Yet, Jason really doesn’t bring dinner. Can it be like Alastor said, that Kimberly took him away”
“Anastasia, have some food. Don’t starve yourself,” Alastor urged gently, a softness in his voice that hadn’t been heard throughout their four–year marriage. Unfortunately, Anastasia didn’t appreciate it.
“No need to wait anymore, Alastor said in a calm voice, seeing that Anastasia still didn’t get it “He’s not coming here.
“Anastasia, you’ve been apart from Jason for six years, and you barely know each other. The person you think he is and the image he portrays is not the real him. He’s deceiving you”
“Why does he deceive me?” Anastasia’s voice was hoarse.
Alastor said. “He’s leveraging your relationship to con you out of more money. Wasn’t the 200 thousand dollars you gave him enough? Why pick you, who’s on the brink of divorce and emotionally needy, over other available women?”

divorce and receive the assets she
Alastor thought Jason’s scheme was to rip off Anastasia’s cash. All that mattered was for Anastasia to finalize the d was entitled to. There, Jason would immediately reveal his true colors.
“Kimberly offered 600 thousand dollars in cash over six months and a car worth over 1.4 million dollars. But Jason’s not biting because he’s expecting more than just 2 million dollars from me after our divorce,” added Alastor.
