Chapter 256 Because Anaya Provokes Me

Bryant had come from an upper-class family. Due to that, everyone around him tried very hard, wantingto please him.

Growing up, he was the one who got to bully people, not the

other way around.

But even so, being slapped by Anaya like this, Bryant did not feel a trace of anger.

With his face tilted from the slap, he remained motionless for a long time.

Then Bryant muttered, “I said that I would make it up to her.

But she still didn’t want to come back. I was left with no choice.

“I mean, I reached out to her so many times, begging her and saying sorry to her, but she insisted onrunning away to a place

without me…”

As he spoke, he got emotional, with his voice louder and his eyes reddening. “She forced me!

“I have already begged for her forgiveness like that and even knelt down in front of everyone, sayingsorry for what I have

done before. But she refused to accept me again. That left me

with no choice but to lock her up.

“I mean. I slept with her before. She actually lost nothing…”

“Lunatic!”

Anaya couldn’t hold it in and thus kicked him, along with his chair, hard to the ground.

And since Bryant’s hands were tied to the back of the chair, he

fell on his back with his two arms crushed heavily under the

chair. Due to that, he groaned in pain with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Bryant roared with difficulty, “Anaya, help me up!”

Anaya ignored him and turned to leave angrily, leaving him

struggling on the ground.

Anaya thought, I shouldn’t have come here in the first place!

What a bastard!

Leaving the villa, she drove for quite a long time before she

could calm herself down. Then she returned to the company.

The moment she arrived at the company, she saw Joshua

waiting at the company’s door.

Seeing her, Joshua strode over right away.

“Anaya, where have you been?”

Anaya, still angry, controlled herself so as not to take it out on

Joshua “It has nothing to do with you.”

Joshua asked again, “Do you have any idea where Bryant is?”

Today, Alfred called Joshua, saying that Bryant might have been caught by Anaya and thus askingJoshua to save Bryant from Anaya.

Therefore, Joshua had people ask around. And it seemed that Anaya was very likely to be holdingBryant now.

Hearing Bryant’s name, Anaya sounded even more displeased. “I don’t know.”

Joshua noticed the change in her emotions and was even more certain that Bryant was in Anaya’shands. “But I heard from Alfred that you were looking for Bryant yesterday.”

“What are you trying to say?” Anaya asked impatiently.

“According to the police station, you reported Silvia missing yesterday and suspected that Bryant wasbehind it.

“Silvia has returned to the hotel today, and yet Bryant is still missing.”

Joshua asked as he scrutinized her sharply, “Did you have Bryant caught?”

Actually, Joshua had reached out to Silvia today, who called the security guards right away, knowing thatJoshua was looking for Bryant

That was why Joshua had to come to Anaya instead.

“Mr. Maltz, if you suspect me, you can investigate me however

you like. But don’t think I will tell you anything about it.”

“Actually, you being behind the whole thing is above

suspicion,” Joshua said in a firm tone. “I am here today to ask

you to let him go.

“Illegal imprisonment will result in a sentence. You’d better think it through.”

“Don’t try to threaten me. If you are so sure, where is the

evidence? And since you don’t have any, I’m gonna have to leave me alone,” said Anaya as she walkedpast him. “I’m very

annoyed now.”

Joshua turned around and threatened, looking after her, “If

you hand Bryant over now, I can talk to Alfred so that you won’t suffer from any consequences of it.”

Anaya said coldly, “No need.”

That Anaya rejected him like that had irritated Joshua.

Joshua thought, I was doing her a favor, but she brushed me

aside like that!

“If we manage to replace Bryant ourselves in the end, I’m afraid you’ll have to take the consequences of youractions.

“And by then, no one is gonna help you! You’ll regret it!”

Anaya continued to walk forward without a backward glance.

Joshua was so angry that his breathing became heavier. Then he turned around, went back to his car,and ordered Alex, “Have more people search for Bryant! We have to replace him.”

Joshua thought, does Anaya really think that I could not replace Bryant myself?

As long as Bryant is still in the city, I will definitely replace him

out!

Alex nodded while looking at him through the rearview mirror before saying carefully, “Mr. Maltz, aren’tyou pursuing Ms. Dutt? But you keep being angry with her and saying things that aren’t pleasant to theear…”

Joshua raised his eyes and said in a cold voice, “Since when is it your place to tell me what to do?”!

Joshua thought, I am only angry because Anaya provoked me!

I wouldn’t have acted like this if she didn’t go against me!

Alex noticed Joshua’s displeasure and thus stopped talking right off. “Mr. Maltz, where are we going nowthen?”

“The company. Also, contact Alfred and tell him that Bryant is

in Anava’s hands

“Yes.”

Since Anaya took the morning off, she had to work till eight o’clock in the evening so as to finish all thework that had piled

And when she got downstairs, she found that a tall figure was standing straight while waiting for her bythe roadside.

It was Hearst. Then she quickened her pace and stopped in front of him. “I was going to cook a heartymeal for you, but there was so much work to do today.”

“It’s fine. You can cook for me another time.” Hearst took her bag and opened the car door for her. “Ibooked a restaurant. Shall we go now?”

“Alright.”

Hearst booked a restaurant in the highest building in midtown.

Their table was near the French window, from where one could see the bustling and magnificent Bostonat night.

But the moment the two sat down, Anaya heard someone call

her.

“Anaya!”

It was a youth’s voice that sounded energetic.

Just by listening to it, Anaya knew that it was Yarden.

And by the time she looked up, Yarden was already walking

over to her.

“Anaya, it’s been a while. I didn’t expect to see you the very day I was back from abroad. What acoincidence!

“I missed you a lot while I was abroad. If it weren’t for some bastard who made me stay there, I wouldhave come back long

before to see you…

Yarden opened his arms, wanting to give Anaya a hug. At that moment, he sensed a cold and frighteninggaze being cast at

him from behind.

Yarden turned his head, only to see Hearst’s face, which made

Yarden tremble a bit.

Yarden thought, fuck, why is he here?

Back then, when Yarden was walking over, he found the man, who was sitting opposite Anaya,somewhat familiar. But since Yarden was so excited about seeing Anaya here, he brushed

aside that man.

If Yarden had known that Hearst was here, Yarden would not

have come over

At the thought of this, Yarden, who had always been fearless, retracted his arms right away and stoodproperly while

greeting Hearst, “Good evening, Mr. Helms.”

Hearst nodded lightly.

“You know each other?” Anaya asked in surprise.

Yarden thought, you tell me!

If it weren’t for Hearst who plotted with my family against me, I wouldn’t have gone home these days.Worse still, I had a

blind date while I was at home!

Yarden said with a humble smile, even though he was displeased, “I know him. Prudential Group is oneof my

family’s business connections. I’ve seen him a few times

before.”

Anaya asked again, “What did you just say? Bastard?”

Yarden laughed it off. “It’s nothing. Just someone that isn’t worthy of any attention at all.”
