SWNOVELS Chapter 332
Chapter 332 Killed by Him
Linda asked, "Do Anaya's parents know your plans?"
Hearst got Anaya some food from a plate far from her and said in a low voice, "Anaya only has a grandfather. We have already told him about it." "Is the wedding date set?" "Not really. But it will probably happen in June this year."
Linda asked a bit more about the wedding before continuing, "I will go to Boston and pay Mr. Dutt a visit in a while. We will discuss it again then."
Hearst agreed.
He and Anaya came this time mainly to meet his parents and to know their attitudes toward their marriage. As for the other things, they would decide together when the elders met. After they finished chatting, Cristian suddenly asked, "Jared, when are you and Anaya leaving?"
Linda tensed up every time Cristian spoke. He had no filter on his mouth. She thought that Cristian was chasing the couple away and quickly gave Cristian a look to shush him. Cristian ignored her and pretended not to see her look.
Hearst frowned slightly but replied patiently, "Two days later."
He had been away from the main office for too long. And he needed to deal with a few collaborators personally and could not leave at
once.
Cristian continued to ask, "Are you going to Lydia's engagement party tomorrow with me and Mom?
"Mr. Giles took you in before. You should attend his eldest.
daughter's engagement party."
Seeing that Cristian did not say anything he shouldn't say, Linda heaved a sigh of relief.
Hearst pondered for a moment.
He was going to visit Waylon tomorrow anyway. So he could attend his eldest daughter's engagement party tomorrow.
Hearst turned his head to ask for Anaya's opinion, "Do you want to go?"
Layla would definitely be at the engagement party tomorrow. He had no romantic feelings for Layla, but if Anaya didn't want to be in the same place as Layla, he would not go. Anaya hesitated for a few seconds and nodded, "Okay."
Although Anaya didn't like Layla, the Giles family had done great favors to Hearst. She didn't want Hearst to cut ties with the Giles family just because of her.
After they made the decision, the dining room fell silent again.
The engagement party was at noon. After Hearst went to the company, he had someone prepare their outfit for the occasion and send them home.
Anaya's dress was a light purple long dress with intricate patterns. The color was gentle, and the size was just perfect.
Linda got a makeup artist to the house. After she was done, she asked the makeup artist to do Anaya's makeup.
While the makeup artist was working on Anaya's face, Linda sat next to Anaya and looked at Anaya. She couldn't help but praise, "Anaya, your skin is really good."
Her eyes closed, and Anaya felt the soft brush gently move across her face. She humbly replied, "Thanks, Linda. But you have better skin.
"People your age that I've met basically all have wrinkles on their faces, but you don't have any. Your face is beautiful."
Everyone liked compliments. Linda heard the praise from Anaya and couldn't help but laugh, "American girls are so sweet."
Linda was just a rich lady who had no job and had never suffered any hardship. The biggest wish in her life was that her husband and children could have an easy life.
Although she might be petty sometimes like all the other women her age, she was overall a simple soul. It was easy to please her and gain her trust.
Since Anaya was nicer to her, she would also be nicer to Anaya.
After they chatted for a while, the makeup artist finished her work and left.
Anaya and Linda were left alone in the room.
Anaya stood in front of the white frame mirror and straightened her outfit. Linda stood next to her. Linda looked around and whispered after hesitating for a while, "Anaya, be careful when you are with Jared. I don't advise you to go against him.
"He has always been temperamental. If you make him unhappy, you might regret it later."
Anaya frowned, and the friendly expression on her face instantly disappeared.
Anaya looked into Linda's eyes in the mirror. "Linda, aren't you afraid that I'll tell Jared the bad things you say about him?"
"It was just a kind warning." Seeing that Anaya didn't appreciate
her kindness, Linda sighed. "Do you know why no one in the Helms family gave him a hand when he was kicked out of the Helms family by Kolten?"
Anaya sneered, her eyes full of disgust, "Isn't it because you think he is a prostitute's kid and doesn't deserve to be a Helms?" "How is that possible!" Linda countered with a serious expression.
"Before he left the Helms family, he had always been raised as the heir of the Helms family. What he received was the best education. The people of the Helms family treated him very well."
Anaya did not believe it. "If so, why did you kick him out of the
Helms family?"
Hearst told her that the whole family hated him and no one liked him.
"Because he stabbed Kolten with a knife."
"Why did he hurt his father?"
Linda was silent for a few seconds before saying, "When Jared was sixteen, his birth mother got seriously ill. She called him and wanted to see him.
"His birth mother lived in the red-light district. After Jared came back to the Helms family, he was the face of the Helms family. Kolten forbade him to meet his birth mother again.
"He sneaked out but was caught by Kolten and locked up for a week.
By the time Jared came out, his birth mother had already died of illness.
"Jared always hated Kolten for being overly strict with him. After that thing, Jared resented the Helms family even more.
"After settling his birth mother's affairs, Jared was ready to leave the Helms family. But Kolten didn't allow him. They had a conflict, and they fought. Kolten was injured in the fight and stayed in the hospital for several months.
"During that period of time, Jared kept making trouble. Kids are vengeful. If we break his fingers, he would break our arms in return.
"To mess with Kolten, Jared discredited the Helms family time and time again. He even stole the Helms family's confidential documents and gave them to our rivals to provoke Kolten.
"The final straw for Kolten was that Jared pushed a rich girl down the second floor and made her seriously injured.
"That girl's father is one of Canada's twenty wealthiest men.
Jared's actions almost destroyed the Helms family.
"He has committed too many mistakes. Kolten was too disappointed and had to kick Jared out of the family. They have lost touch since then.
"It was not until a few years ago when Jared single-handedly established Prudential Group that he came back.
"The first thing Jared did after he came back was to crack down on the Helms family's business. It was a nightmare for many in the
Helms family.
"Cristian's legs were crippled by him."
Anaya remained skeptical after Linda was done talking. "Cristian's legs were crippled, but wasn't it because he tried to fuck withJared?"
"It's true that Cristian deserves it." Linda did not try to avoid this topic. "Cristian had tried to poison Jared and almost killed Jared, so it was understandable for Jared to take revenge on him. "But other than Cristian, there was another person who was destroyed by Jared.
"No, to be precise, he was killed by Jared."
