Chapter 168 He Will Give Her a Peaceful Life

After tidying up Anaya’s hair, Hearst retracted his hand. “Are you leaving? I’ll send you back.”

“Thank you,” Anaya acreed.

The two of them talked as if no one else was around and prepared to leave.

“Anaya, you ruined Bria’s engagement party. Do you think I’ll let you go so easily?” Joshua blockedtheir way.

Anaya’s smiling eyes were covered with a layer of frost. “Mr. Maltz, do you still want to capture me?You don’t seem to have the ability to do so.”

Both Anaya and Hearst were good fighters in addition to Jayden. Joshua couldn’t win against themalone.

of course, Joshua also saw the situation clearly. Even so, he still had no intention of giving in.

First, Anaya disrupted Bria’s engagement party and humiliated the Aucher family. And many peoplewere watching them. Joshua would definitely get something back from Anaya.

Second, Joshua did not want Anaya to leave with Hearst.

Every time Anaya stood with Hearst, they were sore to Joshua’s eyes!

Joshua stood in front of the two, blocking the way, but he did not say anything.

As the stalemate continued, Hearst spoke, “Mr. Maltz, there are only a few people present. If youcontinue to cause trouble, today’s engagement banquet will be completely ruined.”

Hearing his words, Bria was a little worried and grabbed Joshua’s armn. “Joshua, let’s talk about thislater. There aren’t many people who know about this now. We can still block the news. If it gets out ofhand, everyone will know who I have married.”

Joshua gritted his teeth and weighed the pros and cons. In the end, he got out of the way.

Hearst held Anaya’s hand as they walked past Joshua, wearing a fake smile. “Mr. Maltz, your cousin ismore tactful than you.”

Joshua selt extremely aggrieved in his heart. He clenched his hands into fists and said nothing.

After the two left, the onlookers who stood by started to gossip.

“The man who left with Anaya is Hearst, right? Is the person beside him Jayden from PrudentialGroup?”

“I noticed it too. He appeared with Jayden. Could he be Jared?”

“Jared from Prudential Group? Impossible.”

“Speaking of which, I have seen Jared’s back in the news before. It is indeed very similar to Hearst’sfigure…”

“Also, last time when Anaya had a gathering, Hearst had driven a luxury car to pick her up. Jared is theonly one with the surname of Helms in Boston. I think it’s very likely.”

“11 Hearst is Jared, he is not only handsome but also rich. How could Anaya seduce…”

Before the person could finish her words, her friend hurriedly pulled hier sleeve.

The woman also felt Brui’s paze and immediately shut her mouth

However, even if she didn’t finisher sentence, everyone present know what she meant by what shedidn’t say.

1f Hearst was Jared and he was Anaya’s pursuer, how could Anaya let go of a good man and take theinitiative to seduce Hank, a man who was nothing but a rich father?

Their discussion reached Bria’s cars, and her expression became even more cloomy as if she hadbeen humiliated.

Anaya was just a woman who had been abandoned by Bria’s cousin. What qualifications did Anayahave to compare with Bria?

Bria’s nails dug deep into her palm as if she wanted to tear the skin of her palm.

Joshua glanced at the people who spoke, “You’d better keep your mouth shut about what happenedhere today. If this matter leaks out, I will not let it go!”

A few of thein fell silent, not daring to speak again.

Hank said to Joshua unwillingly, “Joshua, Anaya went too far, and you let her go just like that….”

“Don’t call me like this! Don’t try to curry favor with me!” Joshua glared at Hank. “You know whathappened between you and Anaya. Don’t think that I can let you off! After today, see how I will dealwith you!”

Hank’s face was pale. “Joshua… Mr. Maltz, it was clearly Anaya who seduced me. This has nothing todo with me. You can’t get the wrong target of revenge!”

Joshua gave Hank a fierce glare and did not talk with him again. Joshua called someone up to carrythe two bodyguards away.

After the call, Joshua said to Bria, “Our men are ready. Since you have found Hank, hurry up and takehim to go through the process. If there are any accidents, I can’t help you!”

Bria nodded and called Hank to go downstairs.

Anaya and Hearst went downstairs, “Mr. Helms, thanks for your help. In a few days, I’ll get someone tosend you a gift to show my thanks…”

“You don’t have to tell me these words.” Hearst’s voice was as gentle as his personality, but it was hardto ignore. “I owed you my life at that time in Las Vegas. This kindness is worth me doing anything foryou. Besides…”

He stopped, and Anaya also stopped.

Hearst looked at Anaya, his eyes clear and gentle, “Even if it wasn’t for this matter, I never thought ofasking you to repay me.”

After so many years, he had already gotten used to silently helping her.

He had already owed her two lives.

With this alone, she was worth him giving everything to her.

She had protected him for a moment, and he would return her to a peaceful life.

No matter what, as long as it was something she wanted, he would offer it to her.

Anaya looked into his eyes, and her lieart suddenly raced.

She quickly averted her gaze and changed the topic, “Mr. Helms, I have to check the surveillancecameras first so that Hank won’t do anything behind this. You can go back first.”

Hearst replied, “Hankdared to yo solar loday. I’m afraid that he has already checked the surveillancecameras.”

Anaya frowned and felt that what he said made sense.

“Then forget it.”

Joshua valued his reputation, so he must have blocked the news.

‘There were not many people who knew about this, and Anaya did not care about others’ opinions.Whether she clarified it or not, it actually did not have much of an effect.

“Then let’s go.”

Jayden drove while Anaya and Hearst sat in the backseat.

The car drove for more than half an hour and reached its destination.

“Mr. Helms, would you like to come in?” Anaya asked as she got out of the car.

Ever since Hearst returned from Las Vegas, he found that Anaya felt more at ease with him and nolonger refused him to enter her house.

Hearst was about to agree when his phone suddenly rang, “Sorry, please wait a moment.”

Anaya waited on the side.

The person on the other end of the line said something, and Hearst’s face became more and moreserious.

“Alright, I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up the phone, Hearst looked at Anaya and tried his best to relax his brows.

“Alright.” For some reason, Anaya added, “Come over tomorrow night for a meal. Consider it my thanksfor what you did for me today.”

Hearst was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

His eyes curved slightly, as clear and soft as the hot spring water in winter.

“Are you worried that I won’t come?”

It sounded like Anaya was eager to see him.

Anaya said with a stubborn face, “No, I just want to thank you.”

“Alright, I’ll come over tomorrow,” Hearst said, smiling.

Anaya sawa hint of ridicule in his smile and felt inexplicably shy. She hurriedly said, “I still have to feedthe dogs. 1’11 go up first. See you tomorrow.”

With that, she walked away without looking back

Her footsteps were slightly messy, and she seemed to be fleeing.

Hearst’s smile crew wider.

Jayden hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mr. Helms, who called you just now?”

When this was brought up, Hearst smiled and said, “Samuel. He said that he caught Layla’s men.”

Jayden was shocked, “Ms. Giles frequently sent people over here. Don’t tell me she has alreadyconfirmed your location. 11 Ms. Giles were to know about Ms. Dutt’s existence, I’m alrail…”

“Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

“OK”
