Chapter 62 I Rianap ner
Anaya walked behind him and found that there were two rotten eggs thrown on Hearst’s expensive
suit. The disgusting and thick liquid flowed down the suit, emitting a stench.
The smell would probably not dissipate even if the suit was washed,
Although Hearst had said that he was not a neat freak, he would definitely still feel disgusted with
such a dirty thing stained his suit.
Anaya said apologetically. “I will buy a new one for you.”
“No need,” Hearst said gently.
Anaya did not want to argue with him about that. She would directly buy a new suit for him later.
He had to take it anyway.
She asked, “What are you doing here?”
Hearst took off his suit and threw it into the trash can beside him. “I’m here to check on you,” he
said.
It didn’t sound like what he would usually say.
Anaya thought of the trend on Twitter.
Did he come here to make sure whether she would be depressed because of the online
comments?
Anaya asked uncertainly, “Did you see the trend?”
“Yes.” Hearst looked down at her and said in a casual manner, “Can you handle it?”
“Yes, I know a lot of things about Lexie, which is enough to take her down.” Anaya said.
When the public voice reached its peak tomorrow, Anaya would show the public Lexie’s true side. Lexie would be notorious after tomorrow.
She paused and added, “I don’t need your help.”
There was no direct evidence that what happened to Mia and Bryant had anything to do with Hearst. However, Anaya got a hunch that it was this man who caused Mia and Bryant’s injury.
Hearst nodded.
Since she asked, he would not interfere.
“Let me take you back,” he said.
“I’m take a taxi.”
Hearst did not insist.
He knew that Anaya wanted to keep a distance from him.
It was already her concession that she did not push him away.
If he were too pushy, Anaya would probably get scared and escape from him.
The losses outweighed the gains.
After a while, Samuel and the bodyguards came back with the few people who just threw the
eggs.
The man who threw the eggs at Hearst was an influencer, who often gained attention by “upholding justice online. He was nothing but a total idiot. When he smelled something gossip, he would rush over with his studio workers and poke his nose into it. But he did not expect to
encounter a tough one this time.
After being beaten up by Samuel and the other bodyguards, they begged Anaya for mercy with
swollen and bruised faces.
Anaya ignored their begging and said indifferently, “All of you will hear from my lawyer very soon. I will appeal to the law and let the judge make the final say.”
After saying that, Anaya left. Hearst stared at her back until she got into her car and disappeared.
He looked differently at the few men who were being taken down, his eyes looked like a
bottomless abyss.
The man who just threw the eggs at him felt a chill down his spine. He swallowed his saliva and asked carefully, “Will you sue me as well?”
Hearst only fixed his eyes on the man for a few seconds before he withdrew his gaze and said lightly. “Bring them back.”
“Yes, sir!
When Anaya returned home, she saw Aracely sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Aracely was tapping on the keyboard of her mobile phone. She looked very excited, and from time to time, she cursed
Sammo sat next to her with her furry tail swaying, and when Aracely cursed, she echoed, as if she
agreed with what Aracely said.
Anaya put down her bag and picked up Sammo before she sat down beside Aracely. “What are you doing? Why are you so excited?”
“Fighting. You told me not to care about the trend, so I didn’t ask the public relations people to take action. But I really couldn’t help it, so I created an alternative account to scold these sons of bitches.”
Aracely saw the news at noon. She was worried that Anaya would be cyberbullied. She planned to go to Riven Group to check on Anaya, but Anaya refused her. So, Aracely went directly to Anaya’s place to wait up for her.
The more Aracely looked at those comments online, the angrier she felt, so she created a few alternative accounts to fight and argue with the troll until now.
“Did you win?”
“I was reported and lost over twenty alternative accounts.”
Anaya could not help but laugh.
What a perseverant girl.
Ve
She slapped the back of Aracely’s head and said, “Silly girl!”
“How can you still laugh at this moment?” Aracely removed Anaya’s hand. “Didn’t you see how they slander you? Your mailbox must have already exploded!”
“Let it be.”
Anaya completely did not care about the comments of those strangers.
As long as the people she cared about believed her, it was enough.
And all the people she cared about had asked her what happened today, and she had already explained it to them one by one.
“You are so generous.” Aracely put down her phone. “What are you going to do? It was clearly Lexie
who did this to you.
“All of a sudden, you became the other woman and a violent maniac who stabbed people before. You even have kept a toy boy. Fuck, you participated in so many competitions in high school, but you never got so many titles like today.”
“You will see tomorrow.”
“Are you sure?” Aracely was still worried. “If you can’t handle it yourself. just tell me. Mr. Simpson contacted me today, saying that he would like to help. I will kidnap Lexie, and he is responsible for beating her up. He will definitely help you teach that bitch a good lesson!”
Anaya raised her eyebrows. “And then I’ll have to visit you guys behind bars?”
Aracely was speechless.
Their friendship was over.
That was it.
“Lexie, do you see how many people on the Internet scold Anaya today? Many people call her a. bitch and a slut! She just humiliated me in her office yesterday. I’m so happy to see her end up like this right now!”
Bria sat on the sofa of Lexie’s apartment and played with her tablet, gloating.
Lexie put the dishes on the table and sighed, “Bria, I always feel uneasy after I gave you the information. What if Joshua gets angry at me because of this…”
“Don’t worry, I won’t say a word about it!”
After Bria went to the company this morning, she told her father about the news of Anaya and McKlein Inc. signing a contract, and she was scolded badly
As soon as she thought of what happened in Anaya’s office yesterday, she was furious, so she came to Lexie to vent her grievances.
In order to “help” Bria, Lexie gave her some negative news related to Anaya, so that Bria could feel better after reading it.
Lexie repeatedly told Bria that she could never release the files she showed her.
It was not easy for Bria to get a chance to slander Anaya and ruin her reputation. How could she miss this chance?
After she separated from Lexie, she immediately contacted the press and posted the news online. She even spent some money on the trend.
However...
Bria was a little curious. “I only paid for a news website. Why did it also hit Twitter and other social
media platforms’ trends?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Lexie smiled sinisterly behind her.
When Joshua and Anaya were divorced, Lexie impulsively contacted the reporters to release the
news that Anava had cheated on Joshua. After that, Lexie realized that it was very likely that she
would be found out if she did it herself.
Fortonately, no one had found it was her last time.
Even so, Lexie was still worried. She gave the reporter a sum of money and sent him to another
province.
This time, Lexie was careful enough and used Bria to be the scapegoat.
Even if anything happened, Bria would be the only one to take the blame.
Chapter 63 Engagement Gift
Lexie’s voice was as gentle as usual. “Maybe people just love to gossip about the little secrets
between the rich and powerful families. Stop playing with your tablet and go wash your hands.
Breakfast is ready
Bria nodded and got up to wash her hands.
Lexie sat down at the dining table when Joshua called.
“Lexie, what are you doing?” he asked in a tired voice.
“I just cooked and was about to eat breakfast. What’s wrong?”
“It’s about our engagement. I’ve decided to hold the engagement ceremony next month.”
Joshua had been busy the whole day and had no time to look at his phone. Now that he finally had a break, he immediately told Lexie his decision.
He had been restless and always felt that something would happen if he kept stalling.
Lexie was delighted and thought that Joshua had this idea because he was influenced by public opinion.
It seemed that she had made the right move.
Anaya’s reputation had been ruined. Who would want her now?
Lexie asked in surprise, “Joshua, have you really decided?”
Yes, I was wrong before. I didn’t know that you might feel insecure if I didn’t give you a promise.”
Joshua rarely yielded to others, but Lexie was an exception,
This woman had saved his life and was worth him putting down his pride to make her happy.
It was what he ought to do
Lexie pretended to be considerate. “I’m fine. What’s important is what you think. If you’re not ready yet, you don’t have to force yourself.”
I didn’t force myself I just want to get engaged to you as soon as possible.” Joshua leaned against the wall of the corridor and looked out at the night sky “Lexie, I want to take you to choose
the engagement ring tomorrow Are you free tomorrow?”
“No, but I can take leave.”
“Okay, that’s it. I haven’t finished my work yet. I need to go now.”
After hanging up the phone, Lexie could not help but grin.
She was finally going to become Mrs. Maltz!
Today was the weekend.
Anaya slept an hour longer than usual, and she didn’t wake up until seven-thirty.
When she woke up, she found that she had a message from Lexie.
“You there?”
Anaya: “What’s up?”
“I’m going to get engaged to Joshua next month. Will you come then?”
Was she showing off?
However, Anaya did not feel envy or hatred at all.
She didn’t bother to reply to Lexie and threw her phone aside.
After washing up, she found that Lexie texted her a few more messages.
“I heard that when you and Joshua got married, you went to buy your wedding ring on your own and paid for it with your money. Is that true?”
Before Anaya could reply, Lexie continued.
