Chapter 207
Anastasia suddenly stood up, almost pulling at her wound. “What do you mean by using money to embarrass you? What kind of nonsense has Kimberly done?”
Anastasia took a sharp breath, frowning as she clutched her wound.
“Why are you so hasty!” Jason sighed, helping Anastasia sit back down.
I didn’t.” Anastasia whispered “Kimberly might be on a whim. Don’t take it to heart.”
Jason looked at Anastasia. “She’s your friend. I’ve already shown her enough respect.”
Anastasia sighed. Being stuck in the middle was a bit awkward, She didn’t know why Kimberly suddenly acted that way.
“By the way, Harold still doesn’t admit that someone instigated him, and he refuses to say who told him which hotel room you were in” Jason had just come back from a visit to the police station.
Anastasia nodded. “No hurry.”
Harold being this stubborn surely meant someone was backing him up.
“Given the current situation, he intentionally harmed me, and my injuries at most are considered minor, not even amounting to a slight injury. Even if all charges are combined, he would only serve a few years… Anastasia frowned.
“If he’s daring to take risks, someone must’ve given him a considerable sum of money, enough for him to think it’s worth it,” she added.
Jason nodded. “Til have Jayden look into it.”
Jayden was a private investigator. Naturally, this kind of thing was easy for him.
“That day… Jayden called you dude?” Anastasia suddenly remembered, narrowing her eyes at Jason. “As far as I know, Jayden comes from a wealthy family
Jason cleared his throat. “Hmm! Really? He got too drunk and started a fight. I ended up saving him when I was at the bar, so he sees me as a friend.”
Then why does he call you Jace? Anastasia believed Jason’s story but couldn’t understand why he was called Jace.
“Well… he insisted on calling me dude, but since I didn’t agree, he started calling me Jace.”
Anastasia gave a helpless smile, thinking, “What kind of reason is that? Well, it does sound like something Jayden will do.
Anastasia looked at Jason and asked, “Before, with Alastor’s interference, not many private detectives in Hork would take my case. Jayden offered to take it on, charged me less, and was really responsible. Did you help with that?”
Jason turned his gaze away. “No. He just needed to build up his business since he started out. Rich kids have money to spend, so he only needed some work to do.”
“I see. Anastasia nodded.
“You two are such a loving couple,” Felicia chimed in from the doorway.
Anastasia frowned as she glanced at Felicia. “Why do you keep hanging around! Don’t you have anything better to do!”
Felicia smoothed her hair and leaned against the door frame. “Just letting you know, I’m being discharged, and Alastor is coming to pick me up.”
“Even if he’s picking you up to go to the crematorium, it’s none of my business. Just burry up and leave,” Anastasia snapped, barely holding back her
She used to worry about Alastor’s reputation, living too restrained to match the status of being Mrs. Lopez
She had almost forgotten who she really was.
She was originally the kind of kid who grew up in the slum, ready to fight back when bullied.
Manners and decency were things for the rich to enjoy. She didn’t need them anymore.
Who isn’t living life just once, not even knowing how long it will last?

taunted.
“Anastasia, look at yourself now. Spending too much time with the lower class has made you just like them Felicia ta
“Isn’t that true? Ever since you moved to the ward next to mine, I feel like my manners have worsened, Anastasia said with an eye roll
“Go ahead and keep being arrogant,” Felicia said as she walked away, seemingly in a good mood.
“Is she crazy!” Anastasia angrily got up, ready to go out and tell Felicia off more
Jason watched Anastasia for a long time and then smiled.
After not seeing her for four years, Anastasia had changed so much that it left an indescribable sense of oppression in his heart.
But today, Anastasia seemed a bit different.
“In the future, if someone makes you unhappy, just talk back to them, Jason said, pulling Anastasia’s wrist. “But chasing after her isn’t necessary. You’re still injured.”
Anastasia nodded. It was not worth getting upset with a person like Felicia.
