Chapter 134
“It’s not fun to only see the photos Sienna took in secret. I will show you what’s real…” Anastasia unbuttoned her sweater, took it off, and threw it on the ground.
“Enough!” Xavier grabbed Anastasia’s wrist, and his eyes turned red. “What do you want… Just say it.”
“I want you to end your life. Will you do it?” Anastasia stared into Xavier’s eyes.
Xavier was stunned for a moment. The next second, he avoided her gaze.
“I’m such a fool and should never judge a book by its cover.” Anastasia sat on the couch and kicked over Xavier’s table.
Everything on the table fell to the ground.
The paintings hanging on the wall were drawn by Xavier, all of which were human body sketches.
“I think I’m nice to you. Why did you treat me like this? Even if you wanted to ruin me, you have to give me a reason why.” Anastasia choked up.
She was hurt by her most trusted friend of the opposite sex, betrayed by her husband, and sold out by her biological father. In short, she was abandoned by all her loved ones.
Therefore, she was guilty.
Her existence itself was the original sin.
“Anastasia, do you think that you are good? You’re not wrong at all. Everything bad that happened is someone else’s fault?” Xavier looked at Anastasia and couldn’t suppress his voice.
Anastasia didn’t speak, and her fingers trembled.
“You’re just lucky. Don’t you think? You’re so lucky. Before you went to college, you met someone who appreciated your talent. That person happened to be Mr. Charles Lexington’s relative! So you were favored by Mr. Lexington when you entered university. Did you know that because you occupied a spot to be Mr. Lexington’s student, people like me with limited talent and had to work extra hard were rejected?”
Xavier was venting his grievances.
This was his complaint against Anastasia.
“Yes, you were lucky but were capable too. That was why Mr. Lexington cared about you. He was so kind to you. I begged you to help me meet him and make me his student. If you were sincere in helping me, would he have criticized my works without looking at them?”
Anastasia frowned as she looked at Xavier. She didn’t expect that he had been jealous of her since they were in school.
“Anastasia, you are fortunate to meet Mr. Lexington at school and get to know Alastor through a blind date after graduation! Who is Alastor Lopez? His family, the Lopez family, is one of the four biggest players in the business community in Hörk. They are only second to the Gunn family, the richest family!” Xavier smiled ironically. “So, with someone like Alastor, a high and mighty scion, how can you fall in love with a slumdog like me?”
Xavier lit a cigarette and leaned against the door. “You were respected and admired by others ever since you got together with Alastor. You held art exhibitions with me because you pitied me. People only remember your name, Anastasia. No one remembers mine. They always fought to buy your work, leaving mine alone in the exhibition hall. You humiliated me.”
Anastasia lowered her head and smiled. “I guess the ancients were right. It was only in human nature to be jealous. I thought we were similar and wanted to give you a push since you were not doing well. How could you think I was deliberately humiliating you? And that I was showing off my luck.”
Anastasia smiled wryly.
The evil of human nature was reflected in her life to the fullest extent.
“Xavier, is this the real reason why you tried to ruin me, make calumny of me, send it to Alastor’s company group chat, and extort Alastor?” Anastasia got up and approached Xavier step by step. “Let me guess. It’s only part of the reason?”
“You’re so smart. I’m sure you know why.” Xavier watched Anastasia approach

and his heart beat faster.
to destroy our relationship, so I pretended
not to see it.” Anastasia approached Xavier indefinitely, took a cigarette from his cigarette box, and matched it to the
cigarette he had on his lips to light up her cigarette.
Xavier’s body stiffened, and his breathing became quicker.
Anastasia’s unconscious provocation was fatally seductive to him.
