Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

Chapter 287 Never Let Go

Hearing Hearst's words, Anaya was shocked for a moment.

Anaya wanted to tell Hearst not to investigate what happened, but she couldn't as if someone was

choking her.

If possible, she hoped that Hearst would never know about what happened that day.

But just like what Winston had said, it was unfair to Hearst.

After all, Hearst had the right to know the truth since he was dating Anaya.

When Hearst questioned her just now, Anaya actually thought of telling him the truth directly.

But she still did not have the courage.

Anaya knew well that no one could stand his girlfriend having sex with another man, considering the

fact that Anaya and Hearst were still dating back then.

She was afraid that as soon as the truth was voiced, they would break up.

Therefore, Anaya had planned to hide the truth at her best so that she could still be with Hearst for a

while.

But at that moment, Hearst had made his decision.

Regardless of whether Anaya was willing to tell the truth or not, Hearst would find out what exactly

happened that night three days later.

Anaya buried herself in Hearst's arms for a long time and nodded.

He wanted to know the truth, and Anaya had no way to stop him.

Hearst felt her low mood but did not comfort Anaya.

And Hearst stuck by his choice. He knew that he could not give in this time.

The previous failure in her last relationship had made Anaya become a coward and a sensitive soul.

Whenever she encountered setbacks, her first reaction was to hide and protect herself.

If Hearst did not take action, he was well aware that Anaya would only get further and further away

from him.

Hearst had to pull her back before she ran away.

After all, they had been through, he couldn't let Anaya just escape.

Hearst held her face up and kissed her on the cheek. "Three days later, I'll come and pick you up."

Anaya was clear that if Hearst said so, he would definitely do it.

There was no room for negotiation.

So she had to agree.

Hearst then kissed her forehead before letting go.

"Be careful."

"OK."

Anaya left empty-handed and acted as if nothing had happened.

Just as she arrived downstairs, Anaya's phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number and turned out to be from Joshua. His voice sickened Anaya as she picked

up the phone.

"My assistant told me that you didn't move out of the apartment."

"It's just my stuff there. I have been staying in the company these days," said Anaya with her hand

trembling as she held the phone.

Joshua instantly figured out what she was thinking and asked, "Are you planning to come back?"

Anaya replied, "Yes! You got a problem with that?"

Thinking about the fact that Hearst would know the truth three days later, Anaya didn't have much

patience talking to Joshua.

Joshua was already dissatisfied with Anaya, and then he felt even more annoyed. "Aren't you afraid

that I will post the video right now?"

Anaya walked to the side of the car and opened the door. "It's up to you. I have already gotten out of

the apartment, as you said. If you still want to post the video simply because of such a trivial matter,

then do it."

In fact, Anaya understood that Joshua dared not to send the video.

And Joshua was also very clear that such an excuse was the only way to bargain with Anaya at that

moment.

But what Anaya did not know was that the video was not even a thing.

Joshua got no video to send.

Just as he wanted to say something, Joshua found the call was hung up.

After Anaya rang off, she turned her phone on silent mode, threw it on the passenger seat, and drove

back to the company.

The next morning, Tim brought over the jewelry businessmen as Anaya had told him so.

The foreign businessmen were all wearing suits and looked quite like those elites. It was as if they had

been trained before in order to act like businessmen.

Despite being caught, they still remained calm and composed.

At least it was so on the surface.

Anaya checked their profile and murmured, "Tech Company CEO,

Import and Export Agent, Jewelry Merchant..."

Then Anaya threw the papers back onto the table and looked at the businessmen. "You are quite

capable, forging so many fake identities, and yet you are still alive."

The tall man in the lead looked at Anaya with a calm expression. "Madam, I don't think we knew you

before. So what are you trying to do by capturing us here?"

The man spoke in fluent English just like a native American.

Then Anaya stood up from behind the desk and walked up to them.

"You should know Mr. Maxwell from Techking Group, right?"

Hearing that, those men changed their expressions slightly.

The tall man looked a little wary as he asked Anaya, "Are you sent by Mr. Maxwell to capture us?"

"Don't be nervous. I invited you here simply because I don't want to see you in jail," Anaya said calmly.

Anaya didn't know Ricky that well, not to mention capturing these businessmen for him.

The tall man was puzzled. "Then what is it?"

"I want you to do me a small favor. After that, all the money will belong to you."

"How much?" asked the man.

"100 million dollars."

After she moved out of the apartment, Hearst had not contacted

Anaya for two days.

At the same time, Anaya was busy with her work and had no time to call Hearst either.

Occasionally, when she took some rest, she felt empty, as if her heart was missing a piece.

When night fell, Anaya finished her dinner quickly and returned to the company. Then she met Joshua,

who was waiting for her downstairs.

Anaya's hatred for him over the past few days grew stronger and stronger. She didn't even bother to

fake a smile when she saw

Joshua. "What is it?"

Joshua said calmly, "Let's talk upstairs."

Anaya disagreed. "Just talk here."

"I want to speak to you about what happened that night. Are you sure you want to talk about that

here?"

As he spoke, Joshua glanced at the employees who had just come out of the building.

There were not many people at that time, only a few people entering or leaving.

Nevertheless, it was never a good place for a chat.

So Anaya hesitated and then let Joshua go upstairs.

Entering the office, Anaya asked, "What do you want to drink?" Joshua was surprised.

He thought that Anaya hated him very much and did not expect a drink from Anaya.

After all, Joshua was getting used to her cold eyes. And now Anaya's politeness somehow caught him

in slight excitement and yet confusion.

It was as if they were at the good old time when the two were married.

Back then, whenever Joshua got off work, Anaya would wait for him in the living room and serve up a

cup of warm milk.

But he never drank that.

"Milk please," Joshua said.

As he spoke, he observed Anaya's expression, attempting to see a trace of regret in her expression.

However, when Anaya heard that, her face remained cold as she turned around and went to the pantry.

Joshua felt a faint sense of loss in his heart, but he did not say anything.

Anaya walked into the pantry and sent a message to Tim. She asked

Tim to call Joshua later. But Tim didn't need to say anything. He could just hang up after the call was

connected. Tim was confused, but he still replied with the word "Okay".

After receiving the response, Anaya put away her phone and returned to the office with the drinks.
