SWNOVELS Chapter 357
Chapter 357 Listen to Her When I Am Away
Just now, what did Hearst say?
Anaya blankly walked out from behind Joshua, looking straight at Hearst. Her voice trembled as she asked. "You want him to take good care of me?" Did he want to push her to another man?
Hearst noticed her misty eyes. His heart seemed to be suddenly grabbed by a big hand.
Samuel followed Hearst. Seeing that Anaya was about to cry at any time, he wanted to explain to Hearst, but he was stopped by Hearst.
Hearst tilted his head without looking at her eyes. His voice was so faint that it almost couldn't be heard. "Yes."
Anaya's eyes were red. She continued to ask, "I will ask you one last time. Do you really want to break up with me?"
"Yes."
Anaya stared at him for a long time, her heart deeply sinking.
"Well, since you think so, I promise you.
"I won't look for you again. You'd better not contact me again."
After saying this, Anaya pushed him away and walked past him out of City Hall.
Hearst glanced at the tears on Anaya's cheek. He moved his fingers, wanting to grab her.
But he stopped and did nothing.
Joshua did not immediately chase after Anaya but focused his attention on Hearst.
He smiled, his face full of ridicule, "Mr. Helms, you were still rejecting me from getting close to Anaya not long ago. Why did you let her get married to me today?
"Have you taken a fancy to that ugly woman called Giana?"
Giana was not ugly, and could even be said to be superior to a lot of women.
However, compared to Anaya, she was slightly inferior.
Hearst did not respond. Joshua thought that Hearst had tacitly agreed. He scolded, "Back then, you protected Anaya. I thought that you liked her very much, but what you did to her seemed to be no different from what I did."
Hearst still kept calm. On the contrary, Samuel was angry. "Joshua, Hearst and Giana are innocent. It's different from what you did!
You deliberately wanted to be with two women. Hearst was forced to do this for the sake of Anaya's happiness."
Joshua sneered and interrupted him, "Forced? Who can force Jared from the Prudential Group to make a decision?
"Wasn't everything he did his own choice?"
Samuel was so angry that he heaved violently.
Damn, if he could, he would give Joshua the bastard's head a break now. See if he still dared to provoke them!
Seeing that Hearst had nothing to say, Joshua took a deep look at them and left.
Hearst's straight body suddenly bent down.
"Give me some tissues."
Samuel was still angry, but when he heard his voice, he quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Hearst.
Hearst took the handkerchief and covered his lips, coughing violently.
A young couple kindly stepped forward to ask him if he was okay. He shook his head and let Samuel help him back to the car.
He took the handkerchief away, and the center of it was filled with blood.
Hearst leaned against the back of the seat and closed his eyes. His life seemed to have been drained along with the bright red liquid.
Just now, he was still receiving treatment in a private hospital. Forcefully stopping the treatment had a certain amount of damage to his body. At this moment, his internal organs were churning violently. He had originally not planned to come over.
But when he heard that Anaya really wanted to get married to Joshua, he still panicked.
When he came back to his senses, he had arrived at the City Hall and stood in front of Anaya, watching her stand beside her ex-husband.
Samuel observed Hearst from the rearview mirror. His eyes suddenly turned red. "Hearst..."
Hearst still had his eyes closed. His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
Samuel stepped on the pedal and held back his tears. "Hearst, it seems that Anaya and Joshua really got married. What should we do?"
The car was quiet for a long time before Hearst's voice sounded again. "He will take good care of her."
"But you said that the woman you liked could only be taken care of by yourself." Samuel tried to persuade him to chase Anaya back.
"Joshua didn't treat Anaya well in the past. What if he fell in love with another woman, and they bullied Anaya?
"Why don't you ask Anaya to be back? We can discuss what to do later."
"Shall I ask her to come back to watch me approach death bit by bit?"
Hearst took a tissue again to wipe off the red blood flowing out of his nose. However, no matter how hard he wiped it, the dazzling red blood was like a running river that could not be stopped. "I will leave the Prudential Group to Ana. When I leave, listen to her when you need a decision.
"No one can hurt her."
The atmosphere seemed gloomy. A lump came into Samuel's throat. He didn't speak again and quietly drove.
Anaya came out of the City Hall and drove aimlessly for a while before returning to the company.
Adams stayed in the Dutt's house. If she went back, Adams would find out about her and Jared. The apartment was full of Hearst's things. She didn't want to see them at all.
When she returned to the company, she came into the lounge wishing to fall asleep.
However, her mind was in a mess right now, so she couldn't sleep at all. She could only get busy and try to numb herself, not letting herself think too much.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon when Tim reminded her to get off work that she finally came to her senses.
She hadn't had a drop of water since this morning. Now she felt a little hungry and asked Tim to order the takeout for her.
Tim saw that she was in no mood to go home, so he asked with concern, "Ms. Dutt, are you going to work overtime tonight?"
If Anaya worked overtime, he might have to stay as well.
Anaya said, "I will rest here tonight. You can get off work."
Tim nodded and told her to take some rest before leaving.
After eating the takeout, Anaya sat in front of the desk again. She wanted to continue reading the documents, but her phone suddenly vibrated.
She picked up the phone and looked at it.
It was Aracely.
The phone was connected, and Aracely's anxious voice sounded. "Ana, are you serious? You really remarried Joshua? I thought you were joking when you called me last night!
"You remarried Joshua just like that. What about Mr. Helms? Are you really going to abandon him?"
Listening to Aracely's questioning, Anaya felt a little headache. She rubbed her brow. "Where did you get the news?"
"The paparazzi exposed it. Someone took a picture of you and Joshua leaving the City Hall in the afternoon, suspecting that you got a marriage certificate. Now netizens are scolding you for being a jerk and a bitch. You're absurd!
"I just asked my brother to ask someone to remove the trending topic. Now the news has spread out. I don't know if Mr. Dutt saw it."
Hearing Aracely's explanation, Anaya finally changed her expression. "I'll explain it to you later. I need to call my grandfather first." After hanging up the phone, she immediately prepared to dial Adams's number.
Before she could dial, another call came in.
