Chapter 132 Forgive Me
After speaking every word, she stared intently at Terence's changing expression and suddenly felt somewhat satisfied.
He had thought he had picked an easy target but ended up humiliating himself instead.
Terence's frustrated expression was about to explode. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and his body stiffened unconsciously.
Christian was silent on the other end of the phone.
One could feel the indifference and coldness from Christian's end of the phone, even if he didn't say a single word.
Terence couldn't help clenching his teeth, and his eyes showed a hint of complex emotions. He realized Christian had been silent for a long time, making him feel a little uneasy. He coughed and said, "Christian..."
He remembered why Christian had distanced himself from him and the Newton family last time.
It was because of Anastasia.
However, he had gone beyond the limit of his patience this time. No one dared to provoke Christian due to his hot temper, and the Newton family might suffer again due to his recklessness!
Finally, Christian's low and hoarse voice came through on the phone without showing any emotion.
"Anastasia, it's me who has been getting closer to you. What others said is not true."
Anastasia frowned. After remaining silent for a long time, he only uttered a sentence that gave her goosebumps.
She felt speechless as she gritted her teeth and hung up directly.
Looking at Terence, her brows showed a faint and disdainful smile.
"Mr. Matt Newton, listen carefully. Who is pestering whom? Why don't you persuade Christian not to bother me so shamelessly? I'll be grateful to you for that."
Terence could hardly catch his breath, and his face turned a little cold. When he was just about to say something, his phone rang, and it was Christian's call. He pursed his lips and could only go to the other side to answer.
The call was over in just a few seconds, probably no more than three sentences.
Not knowing what Christian said, Terence's face gradually turned more unpleasant.
His eyes were gloomy, and Romy, who had been unnoticeable all long, ran over to him.
"Terence, are you okay?"
Terence pursed lips, and there was a layer of frustration and struggle between his brows and eyes.
He walked up to Anastasia. His attitude was completely different from before.
"Ms. Graves, I apologize for my rudeness just now. I'm sorry."
Anastasia and Eleanor exchanged a glance and looked at Terence's change of demeanor with an amused expression.
Neither of them said anything.
Anastasia didn't respond, and Terence didn't leave either.
He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and mentally prepared himself before speaking again.
"I'm sorry. Please tell Christian to forgive me.
"Because of what happened just now, he stopped the project and investment he promised. The Newton family is innocent and cannot be implicated by me."
When watching him selflessly "sacrificing" his dignity to apologize to her on the side, Eleanor couldn't help chuckling. "The Newton family is innocent, but isn't Anastasia innocent too? You sound like your family has suffered a great grievance.
"You're the one who brought this upon yourself, deliberately bothering someone who shouldn't be provoked. And now you've gone too far and can't afford the consequences. You expect others to bear them for you.
"Terence, Anastasia didn't provoke you tonight. If it wasn't for this phone call, you would have humiliated Anastasia all night. Will you take the initiative to apologize?"
Despite Terence's increasingly unpleasant expression, Eleanor showed no mercy.
She rolled her eyes fiercely and couldn't help saying sarcastic words, "Stop being an eyesore here. Just go as far away as possible and beg your dear brother. If Anastasia helps you intercede, won't it confirm what you said earlier, that she is bothering him?"
Anastasia pinched Eleanor's arm, signaling her not to continue speaking.
She then looked at Terence coldly and said in a clear voice, "Mr. Matt Newton, I don't care about your affairs with him, and we don't have such a close relationship for me to interfere. Your apology is worthless, so you don't have to make yourself feel so wronged."
