Chapter 172 She Doesn’t Care About Him
Joshua sized up Hearst’s attire from head to toe, and his expression gradually sank. “You’re living here now?”
Hearst blocked the door, not intending to let Joshua in. “I don’t want to tell you. And it seems to have nothing to do with Mr. Maltz.”
Joshua blurted out, “How is it unrelated?!”
After saying that, Joshua also realized that he was too nosy. Joshua made it seem like he cared a lot about Anaya.
After a pause, Joshua added, “Although Anaya has divorced me, she is my ex-wife after all. Your visit at midnight is not good for her reputation. I’m saying this as a friend.”
Hearst did not speak, but the ridicule in his eyes was obvious.
Anaya’s voice came from the living room. “Mr. Maltz, we quarreled every time we met. Do you think people will believe that we’re friends?”
Joshua choked and had nothing to say.
Anaya didn’t intend to let Joshua in. “Mr. Helms, please close the door for me. I don’t want a stranger to enter my home.”
Hearing her words, Joshua immediately became angry. “I am a stranger? What about Hearst?”
Anaya sneered, “I thought Mr. Maltz knew the answer.”
Joshua was annoyed and wanted to rush in, but Hearst blocked the door, so Joshua couldn’t get in.
Hearst said indifferently. “You should have heard Anaya’s words. Please go out. Don’t force me to drive you away.”
Joshua gritted his teeth and glared at Hearst. He said to Anaya, “I came today because I have something to ask you.”
“I don’t want to listen. Thank you.”
Hearing that, Hearst wanted to close the door.
Joshua pressed against the door and spoke faster, “I’m here to discuss business with you! Riven Group wants to open new shops in Natick Mall. And I happen to have shops there. I can sell them to you.”
Natick Mall was one of the largest shopping malls in Boston. Riven Group was once popular there, but it declined later and retreated from there.
Recently, Anaya wanted to go back, but the places were all rented. There was no spare space.
Anaya weighed the pros and cons, Then she asked, “What do you want to get from ine?”
Joshua wasn’t a philanthropist. He must be offering the shops something.
Sure enough, in the next second, Joshua revealed the truc purpose of his visit. “Silvia moved out of the hospital a lew days ago. Bryant asked me to help him find out her whereabouts. Both the Maltz family and the Tirrell family hold shares of Natick Mall. As long as you tell me Silvia’s whereabouts, I will give you a shop directly.”
When Anaya beard his words, she was also stunned. “Silvia has been discharged from the hospital?”
Many things happened recently. Anaya had not contacted silvia for a few days.
“Silvia disappeared from Boston with her mother a few days Wro. Didn’t you arrange it?” Joshua was stunned when he saw that Anaya did not seem to be pretending
If I had the ability, Bryant the bastard wouldn’t have been able to take Silvia away before.”
After saying that, Anaya quickly realize what was going on.
After that incident, Hearst became responsible for protecting Silvia.
Only Hearst could take Silvia and her mother away under Bryant’s nose.
Joshua obviously realize this problem as well. Itis gaze fell on Hearst. “You took silvia away?”
Hearst said calmly, “Yes. So what?”
“Where is she?”
Heart replied, “I don’t think I need to tell you.”
Joshua was unhappy with his attitude. “You…”
“Mt. Maltz.” Hearst interrupted him, “Why are you so anxious about Bryant’s matter?”
Joshua said without hesitation, “He is my childhood friend. His business is my business.”
Hearst sneered, “Mr. Maltz is speaking with righteousness. But I don’t know whether he really thinks so.” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Hearst, what do you want to say?” Joshua did not have the patience to argue with him.
Hearst’s expression was slightly cold. “Bryant should have come to see Anaya himself. But you came over on his behalf. Aren’t you trying to find an excuse to tangle with Anaya?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly want to be entangled with Anaya? I’m going to marry Lexie next week!”
Joshua unconsciously raised his voice, which made him look flustered.
In the face of Joshua’s panic, Hearst remained calm. “Mr. Maltz, you know that you are about to get married to Lexie. Then why did you come to see Anaya so late? Shouldn’t you think about her reputation?”
Anaya and I are both single. It is our freedom to stay in the same room. But you have a fiancée. It is hard to say if you have ulterior motives for appearing here at this time.”
Joshua didn’t expect to be questioned by Hearst. Joshua couldn’t say anything for a moment.
Eecause he had indeed come with a personal purpose.
In the living room, Anaya spoke again, “Mr. Maltz, if you just want to sell the shop to me, I might be a little interested. But since you want me to betray my friends, please go back
“It’s just a shop. I don’t care much about it.”
Alleye was talking about the shop, but Joshua had a feeling that she was talking about him.
Atleya didn’t care about lolm.
And she didn’t care about what he offered
Joshua didn’t want to give up. He looked at tearst again. “You really live here?”
Joshua thought, do they sleep together every night!
Joshua and Andys were ofice married for a year, but they had never slept on the same bed. How could Hearst do that?
Hearst did not answer his question and prepared to close the door.
Tashma sensed his movements. Despite his unwillingness, le retreated a few steps and pot out of the door.
If Joshua didn’t leave, Hearst might attack him.
Even if Joshua didn’t want to admit it, Hearst was indeed much more powerful than him.
If they really started fighting. Joshua would lose.
The door was closed in front of him with a bang. Joshua stood at the door without moving.
Joshua stared at the closed door in front of him with mixed feelings.
In the past, Anaya only cared about Joshua.
But ever since Hearst appeared, Anaya had refused Joshua inany times.
It should not be like this…
Joshua had told her before that he had changed his mind. Anaya should accept him as happily as before!
Anaya loved Joshua so much in the past, but now she was so cold…
Joshua imagined the scene of Anaya and Hearst making out inside the door. Joshua was so jealous that he went crazy, but he couldn’t do anything.
Anaya no longer belonged to him.
And he was about to marry Lexie.
This was the path Joshua had chosen, and there was no way to turn back
Right. There was no turning back
Joshua stood there for a long time before he finally turned around and left.
