Chapter 336 Easy to Manipulate

Anaya muttered in a low voice, "I am a divorced woman. I am lucky that I met you. How can there be other men

who like me?"

Usually, outsiders would gossip about Anaya's past. Although Anaya would fight back and pretend to be indifferent,

Anaya still cared about it more or less.

"It seems that Mrs. Helms' understanding of herself is not accurate." Hearst replied indifferently, "Your marriage

with Joshua is only on paper, and your body is still intact. It is impossible for people to dislike you.

"Moreover, you come from a good family, you are pretty, and your character is also likable. Although you may not

replace someone like me who treats you well, there must be many people who covet your body and fortune. It is easy

to replace someone who likes you."

Hearst paused, suddenly smiled, and whispered in Anaya's ear, "But your body is now mine, and you may have to

give a discount outside.

"Only I suit you the most."

This was the first time Hearst had praised her so seriously. Anaya was originally a little embarrassed.

After Hearst said the last two words, Anaya was instantly annoyed.

Hearst was holding Anaya and laughing again. Anaya glared at him and said, "Let's go out quickly. Didn't you say

that Lydia's engagement ceremony is about to begin?"

Hearst held Anaya in his arms and said, "You haven't agreed to my request yet."

"I know. I know." Anaya was very perfunctory. Anaya said, "I swear that I will take a detour when I see Landin and

stay 10 feet away from him."

Hearst was dissatisfied with Anaya's attitude, but Hearst still let Anaya go. Hearst said, "Don't forget what you said

today."

Hearst helped Anaya tidy up her scattered clothes, and his fingertips seemed to brush over her soft flesh. Hearst

said, "If you forget one day, I will help you remember it and let you remember it for a lifetime."

As a result, no matter how Hearst helped her recall it, both of them knew.

Anaya did not hesitate to give Hearst another nickname. Anaya said, "Pervert."

After tidying up Anaya's clothes, Hearst held Anaya's hand and went out.

Walking to the green lawn outside the ancient castle, the sun at noon was bright, and the winter wind was only

slightly cold.

Seeing Linda and Kolten from afar, Anaya remembered what Linda had said to her when she was in the Helms'

house today.

"Jared, how did the previous housekeeper of your family die?"

After listening to Anaya's question, Hearst suddenly became grim, and the smile on his face instantlydisappeared.

"Who told you about this?"

Anaya asked this question, which meant that someone told her that

Hearst killed someone.

Hearst killed the previous housekeeper of the Helms family.

Anaya told Hearst the truth, "Mrs. Helms told me."

Anaya wanted to get a real answer from Hearst, so Anaya could not lie to him.

Hearst pursed his lips and said with a deep gaze, "She is getting bolder and bolder."

"Did she advise you to stay away from me?" Hearst asked.

"How do you know?"

"I'm like a dreadful monster in their eyes, and she can't wait to see no one by my side!"

Hearst always had a confident look on his face, and Hearst rarely revealed his emotions.

Anaya guessed that Hearst must be very angry.

But Hearst never cared about what others thought of him, so why was Hearst so concerned aboutLinda's attitude?

Anaya hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you ... still treat Mrs. and Mr. Helms as your family?"

"If I didn't treat them as family, I wouldn't have helped the Helms family these years." Hearst looked atKolten in the crowd who was talking and laughing with people, and his eyes gradually lost focus. Hearstsaid, "It's just that they have never treated me as family."

Anaya was silent.

The situation of the Helms family was too complicated, and it was difficult for Anaya to give a pertinentsuggestion.

They were quiet for a while, then Anaya got back to the original topic and said, "Do you know howNathan died?"

"It was Cristian who killed him."

This answer was similar to Anaya's guess, so she did not show too much surprise.

"Didn't you tell Mr. Kolten about this?"

"I told him but no one believed me." Hearst sounded indifferent again.

Hearst continued, "I put all the evidence in front of them, but no one believed me. Everyone thought Iwas framing Cristian.

"I wanted to send Cristian to prison, but my father knelt down in front of everyone in order to make melet Cristian off. I could only help Cristian and cover up this matter."

At this point, Hearst bitterly smiled and said, "My father has been very strict with me since I was young.No matter what happened to me, he told me that I had to rely on my own efforts to survive.

"At that time, it was the first time I knew that he could kneel for someone.

"As a father, he would also feel sorry for his son. He would give up his dignity for his son and give upeverything.

"But that person is not me."

Anaya quietly listened to Hearst and felt bad.

Anaya could more or less understand Hearst's feelings.

Because Anaya was once not trusted by anyone. In Anaya's previous life, Adams died early. Anayawas alone and helpless. Lexie was scheming against her on everything. Joshua even helped Lexie.

That kind of despair was really suffocating.

"It's all in the past." Anaya let go of Hearst's hand and clenched it again. Their ten fingers wereintertwined. "Now you have someone willing to trust you."

And so did Anaya.

Hearst stopped frowning, and he let out a barely audible "um" sound.

The engagement ceremony ended very quickly, and the entire process was incomparably smooth. Anaya was

somewhat surprised.

Anaya thought that with Layla's character, she would definitely not let go of any opportunity to get in touch with

Hearst. However, today, Layla only looked at them from a distance and did not go forward.

When the guests dispersed, Anaya saw that Layla was walking towards them, but she was stopped by Landin

halfway.

Anaya's question just now was instantly answered. Layla seemed to be dissatisfied with Landin's behavior and

quarreled with him with a red face.

Anaya was curious about the content of their quarrel, so Anaya couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Suddenly, Anaya heard someone saying in a faint voice, "Enjoying the show?"

Anaya nodded subconsciously. Isn't it good to see Layla suffer?

After two seconds, Anaya suddenly realized that this voice was a little familiar. Anaya turned her head and saw

Hearst looking at her with his eyes lowered. Hearst looked serious. "What did you promise me two hours ago,

huh?"

There was a sense of danger in Hearst's voice.

Anaya was worried that the shameless Hearst would help her

"recall" in public, so Anaya hurriedly said, "I remember! I was just looking at Layla. Nothing else."

Hearst still stared at Anaya, not saying a word.

Anaya had nothing to hide, but being stared at by Hearst like that,

Anaya inexplicably felt a little guilty.

Anaya didn't cheat, but Anaya felt the shame of being caught for cheating from Hearst's stare.

Anaya mumbled, "I won't look at him again."

Hearing that, Hearst's expression turned slightly better. Hearst

said, "Let's go."

"Let's go."

Anaya grabbed Hearst's hand and walked away quickly. Anaya walked in front of Hearst, so Anaya did not see

Hearst smile.

This little kitten is getting easier to manipulate. Anaya got scared after a little teasing.
