Chapter 211
Alastor’s fingers clenched as he looked away.
You can’t, can you? Then stop bothering me,” Anastasia yelled, her voice shaking.
Alastor said in a low voice, “Grandma misses you. If you don’t want to see me, I’ll take you to her. With her around, my mom won’t dare do anything to you. Please”
Anastasia smirked and said, “I want a divorce.
She had to give herself a chance to start again.
Alastor asked in a stem tone. “Do you really want to be with Jason openly that much! Even if you don’t want to go with me, you always want to know what Jason is doing, right? Il take you to see him”
Anastasia clenched her fingers, not understanding why Alastor was letting her go.
Following Alastor, Anastasia asked, “Alastor, if you don’t love me and don’t want me to have your child, why can’t we just get a divorce?
“Is it because of your dad’s illegitimate child who wants to come back and fight you for the inheritance?”
“No,” Alastor said and stopped. He looked at Anastasia and explained, “Anastasia, we’ve been together for four years. I don’t want anything to happen
to you
Anastasia frowned. She always felt like Alastor knew something but just wouldn’t tell her.
Anastasia sneered. “Do you see yourself as a hero! I’ve told you, what I need is love and care in every detail.
Alastor couldn’t give Anastasia what she truly longed for.
Till try to fulfill your needs; our three–month agreement isn’t over yet.” Alastor reminded Anastasia.
Anastasia had just followed Alastor into the elevator when Naomi came storming out, furious. She shouted, “Where’s Anastasia? Where is that
bitch?
Kimberly held onto Jason’s arin, shopping at Infileson Mall.
Jason had a gloomy look on his face, frowning as he tried to pull his arm away.
However, Kimberly held on tightly and said. “Jason, we agreed you’d pretend to be my boyfriend for a while. Do you think a couple should walk separately while shopping?”
Don’t push it Jason wamed Kimberly
Kimberly responded sarcastically, “Did I push you? I’m not asking for help without compensation. I’m Anastasia’s best friend. If you don’t want her to get hurt again, you better heed my advice.”
Jason frowned. I never wanted to threaten you. I wanted to talk nicely, even offer you money, but you didn’t appreciate it, and you’re forcing me to do this Kimberly sneered, pulling Jason into a luxury store.
Upon entering. Kimberly mocked, “Even the least expensive belt here costs thousands of dollars. How long do you think it would take you to save enough to afford anything in this store!”
Her words were designed to belittle Jason’s worth and to dissuade him from pursuing his goal.
Jason looked at Kimberly with a cold stare and spoke after a long silence, “The more people lack something, the more they show it off.
“When you were a child, your family must have been really poor. That’s why you feel insecure and want others to feel that way too
Kimberly’s face darkened. Her family had indeed been very poor, and it was only after her dad started a business that they gradually became wealthy.
To the affluent residents of Hork, Kimberly’s family appeared to be newly wealthy. To genuinely integrate into Hork’s exclusive business elite, Kimberly needed the same fortune as Anastasia, who married someone truly wealthy, like Alastor.
Otherwise, Kimberly would always be labeled as a millionaire’s daughter.
It appeared that Kimberly possessed nothing of value beyond money, such as social status.
“You are a gigolo, and you have no right to lecture me,” Kimberly retorted Jason, a little angry, grabbing him by the collar.
As Jason approached Kimberly, he raised an eyebrow and asked earnestly, Kimberly, I’m curious–what exactly did Alastor promise you to make you work so diligently for him?”
Kimberly froze for a moment, instinctively taking a step back, feeling guilty. She remarked, “What are you talking about! I have no idea what you
Jason sneered, pressing forward and cornering Kimberly against the wall. He warned, “I told you not to provoke me or push my limits
“The only reason I’m going along with this is that I don’t want you, Anastasia’s best friend, to do something that might hurt her.”
Anastasia’s heart was already broken, and Jason didn’t want her to be hurt again by those she trusted and loved the moit
Jason sneered at Kimberly, “Do you think your acting is great? Or do you see yourself as some noble martyr? You’re an idiot, thinking you’re so clever while being fooled like a toy.”
“Jason!” Kimberly exclaimed, slapping him across the face.
Jason didn’t flinch, his eyes holding a deep gaze as he looked at Kimberly. He continued, “Tell Alastor his tricks won’t work. I’m not giving up on Anastasia. He’s not the right one for her. I’ll be the one to protect her from now on.”
Kimberly stared at Jason, her anger palpable. She said, “Jason, don’t get too full of yourself. Anyone can make bold claims. Do you really think you can protect her!
“If you were truly capable, would she have nearly been killed in that hotel? Alastor may not be perfect, but at least he can ensure Anastasia’s safety,”
She couldn’t tolerate Jason’s pretentious behavior, as he acted superior without actually doing anything to substantiate his claians.
Kimberly didn’t think Jason could give Anastasia anything that she needed.
“Your family background or financial status can’t match Alastor’s. You have nothing but grand promises, don’t you?” Kimberly leaned against the

wall and said sarcastically.
Pointing at the iteins on the display counters, she continued. “Anastasia wants those handbags and jewelry, and thanks to Alastor, she can get them without even flinching at the price tag of over 600 thousand dollars. What can you offer her?
“A pancake from a street vendor or a Chili Dog from the food street?”
“How could you possibly know that I don’t have what Alastor has” Jason, provoked by Kimberly, punched the wall right behind her and questioned.
“You? Well… Kimberly chuckled and was about to say something.
Suddenly, a man shouted, “Jasonl
At the entrance of the shop, Alastor arrived with Anastasia. He had brought her there to show her the true nature of Jason, to reveal that he was a person who would agree to anything for money and benefits.
However, Anastasia immediately ran straight to Jason
