Chapter 22 A Trick

Hearst looked up. Hearst gazed at Samuel coldly. Hearst said, “Learn some manners from Jayden from tomorrow onward.”

Samuel said, “I‘m sorry.”

The phone suddenly rang. The ringtone was one that Samuel had never heard before.

Whose phone is that?

Just as Samuel was wondering, Hearst picked up his phone and answered the call.

Anaya said politely, “Is this a good time? I want to come over to get my phone.”

Hearst said, “It‘s a good time. I‘ve been at home anyway.”

“Then I‘ll come over now.”

“Okay.” NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Samuel looked at Hearst, who was sitting in a suit and tie in the office and saying that he had been at home. Samuel looked confused.

Hearst has changed.

Hearst knows how to lie now.

Hearst did not care about Samuel‘s expression and went into the lounge next door to change into a different set of

clothes.

It was a simple white shirt and black trousers. Hearst looked mature.

Hearst said, “I‘ll leave the rest to you.”

Samuel, who was about to work overtime alone, didn‘t know what to say.

Samuel had endured too much.

Anaya arrived at Cloud Villa.

Anaya went to the designated floor and pressed the doorbell.

The door opened, and Hearst, who was dressed in casual clothes, turned to the side. Hearst said, “Come in.”

Anaya was about to take her phone and leave. Anaya said, “Sorry to disturb you.”

When Anaya entered, a white unknown object darted to her feet, rubbing against her trousers.

It was a white Samoyed,

Anaya had had a Samoyed in her third year of high school.

The day Anaya brought the dog home, Joshua and the other students happened to come to their house to study.

Joshua said that dogs were dirty, and the thing he hated the most in his life was dogs.

At that time, Anaya was in love with Joshua. Joshua came before everything, and all things were done based on his preferences.

Anaya couldn‘t like what Joshua didn‘t like.

As a result, Anaya had someone send the dog away on the day Joshua said that.

Anaya was afraid that Joshua would never come again having a dog at home.

Later, although Anaya liked dogs, she never had them again.

The Samoyed barked.

And that pulled Anaya back to his senses.

Anaya squatted down and rubbed the dog‘s head. It actually took the initiative to rub against her palm. It seemed to be enjoying it.

Anaya could not help laughing.

This dog was not afraid of strangers,

Hearst took the phone over and said, “Don‘t lose it next time.”

Anaya said, “Thank you.”

After getting her phone, Anaya replied to a few important messages before looking at Hearst again.

“I‘ve troubled you. You‘ve helped me so much, but I don‘t know how to thank you...”

That night at the bar, if not for Hearst, Anaya did not dare to think what would happen.

Hearst said coldly, “You can help me take care of the dog.”

“Don‘t you want to have it?”

“I can‘t. It is not allowed to have a dog in Cloud Villa.”

“But when I came in, I saw someone walking a dog downstairs.”

“Maybe he came in from outside.”

“Is that so?”

Anaya didn‘t think too much about it and agreed to it.

Anaya liked dogs. Hearst had helped her a lot, so it was understandable for her to help him take care of a dog.

Hearst handed his phone to her, “Phone number.”

Anaya was confused.

Hearst said, “If anything happens to the dog, contact me at any time.”

“Okay.”

Anaya had a feeling of being led around by the nose, but everything seemed to be reasonable.

After putting in her phone number, Anaya asked, “What is the dog‘s name?”

“Sammo.”

Anaya was speechless.

Hearst is a genius with names.

Joshua stayed in the hospital until nighttime. Just as Joshua left the hospital, he received a call from Cecilia, asking him to hurry home.

Cecilia‘s tone was a little harsh. Joshua guessed that Cecilia knew that he had divorced Anaya.

Cecilia was sitting in the living room on the first floor, waiting for him. Cecilia looked well–maintained yet slightly angry.

Seeing Joshua coming in, Cecilia placed the white porcelain cup in her hand on the table.

Cecilia asked, “You divorced Anaya? Why didn‘t you tell me such a big thing?”

Joshua stopped next to her. Joshua said, “I wanted to tell you when I have the chance.”

“Achance? I‘m afraid you want to keep it froul me forever!” Cecilia raised her voice a little and said, “You guys are really amazing, having an open marriage. Do you know how shameful I was because of you and Anaya?”

Today, Cecilia invited a few ladies over. They had been chatting well when a lady‘s daughter suddenly sent the lady the news of Joshua and Anaya‘s divorce. All of their attention suddenly shifted to Cecilia.

The Maltz family had always been respectable on the outside. Everything in the family was covered up. Outsiders did not know that Joshua and Anaya had a bad relationship. They thought they were in love.

However, a few days ago, there was a rumor that Joshua and a strange woman stayed overnight outside. Today, the news of the divorce and Anaya‘s affair was a topic. It removed the fig leaf of the Maltz family.

If it weren‘t for Cecilia had heard from those ladies today, Cecilia wouldn‘t have known that so many things had happened in this short week!

Joshua frowned, “What do you mean by open marriage? Anaya and I are ... divorced peacefully.”

Joshua felt awkward when he said that they had had a peaceful divorce.

Everything that happened today could not be considered peaceful.

“Divorced peacefully?” As if she had heard a joke, Cecilia was so angry that she sneered a few times. Cecilia continued, “You stayed with Lexie in a hotel. Anaya stayed with another man and did not return home at night. Is this the peaceful divorce you said? The two of you each found a new lover and even made it to the heated topic list. Have you thought about the Maltz family‘s reputation?”

“A heated topic?” Joshua was puzzled.

Cecilia found a screenshot from her phone and threw it to Joshua.

Joshua looked at the contents and his expression immediately changed.

“Although I don‘t know who turned the news down, many people have already seen it!” Cecilia stood up. The education Cecilia had received since Cecilia was young prevented her from shouting. However, her anger shown in her words could not be ignored. Every word seemed to be made with great effort.

know continued, “No, you can‘t divorce Anaya. Bring Anaya back immediately and tell people that there is no problem between you. The news that you are on bad terms is just groundless. There is no such thing!”

In the past, Joshua‘s father cheated and divorced Cecilia. Cecilia lived alone with Joshua and suffered from people‘s judging,

What Cecilia hated the most were the looks of sympathy or ridicule, so Cecilia tried to create a perfect image of a rich lady.

Now that Joshua and Anaya were in such a scandal, how could Cecilia sit still?

Joshua was disturbed by the news and pulled his tie in frustration. Joshua said, “Do you think Anaya will be willing to come back?”

“Why not? Anaya loves you. As long as you stay away from Lexie, Anaya will be willing to marry you again.” At the mention of Lexie, Cecilia seemed to have suddenly thought of a way to let out her anger. All of a sudden, Cecilia blamed everything on Lexie. Cecilia continued, “Yes, Lexic. It must be because you‘ve been in touch with Lexie that Anaya wants to divorce you! You are not allowed to see Lexic ever again!”

Today, Joshua had been in a bad mood. Now, Joshua was even angrier, Joshua said in a harsh tone, “What do you mean by that? What about the things you did to Anaya before?

“You told her to be a good wife, found all sorts of excuses to get her to do things for you, and made things difficult for her. Did you treat her well?”

Joshua was well aware of Cecilia‘s attitude toward Anaya.

Joshua had just been too lazy to care.

“Are you blaming me? What I taught her was her responsibility as the daughter–in–law of the Maltz family! You will go to the Dutt family with me tomorrow. This time, you must bring Anaya back no matter what.”

Joshua looked grim. He said with a harsh tone, “Mom! Anaya and I are now separated. We don‘t have anything to do with each other anymore. You should stop thinking about getting us back together.

“As for the news, I will go to Anaya and ask her about it.”

With that, Joshua turned around and left, not giving Cecilia another chance to speak.
