Chapter 106
It seemed like Cason was already in on the whole shebang.
Panic seized Monica. If Cason really had the full scoop, he wouldn’t let Anastasia off the hook.
Anastasia had just recently started to get her life back on track, and this could throw a wrench in the
works.
Cason’s revelation left Demi flabbergasted it was news to her about Anastasia having a kid and
juggling two men at the same time..
Seeing Cason’s fury, Monica didn’t dare to add fuel to the fire. She had to figure out a way to cool his
jets and buy Anastasia some time
Anastasia had just gotten together with Herman. If Herman got wind of Anastasia’s secret, it’d be a hot
mess.
“Demi, can you please step outside for a bit? I would like to talk to Cason alone,” Monica asked,
requesting Demi to leave.
Demi curiously asked, “What could there be that I can’t hear? I’m curious too. Wasn’t Anastasia always
saying she liked Cason before? Why?”
“Please leave.” Monica shooed Demi out, locked the ward room door, and took a seat by the bed.
In reality, Monica didn’t have any ace up her sleeve either, she could only play for time.

Anastasia dropped out of school? Here it is: after you left, Salma had a car accident, Anastasia needed
money and got a part-time job, but she got thrown under the bus”
Monica ran through the whole story, trying to get Cason to bury the hatchet.
Cason had never heard this before, it was all news to him
The private investigator Cason had hired earlier could only uncover surface-level information.
When Cason heard the story about Anastasia’s pregnancy, childbirth, and depression, it gave him a jolt
It took Cason a good while to snap out of it: “Does she remember nothing?”
“She doesn’t,” Monica said, “Cason, Anastasia has never betrayed you. All these years, she’s been
waiting for you. It’s just that you guys werent meant to be, you were too late. Her life has just gotten
back on track, for the sake of your old flame, let her be
Cason fell silent. Anastasia was his goddess. He felt angry and hurt when he thought she had betrayed
him.
But Monica had spun a totally different yarn
Anastasia had no idea what Monica was doing behind the scenes. Right now, she was waiting in the
car for Salma
She was there to pick up Salma, but she didn’t want to step into Cynthia’s house, so she waited outside
Anastasia was playing with her phone in the car when she heard a familiar voice
Looking up, she saw Gianna arguing with Joey in front of her car
Joey seemed to be apologizing to Gianna, but Granna was having none of it. She shrugged Joey off
and stormed off towards the residential area.
A mosquito flew in front of Anastasia. She instinctively swatted at it but accidentally honked the car
horn.
The horn startled the quarreling pair, Granna and Joey both turned to look
Anastasia instinctively ducked her head. She didn’t want to be spotted by Gianna, or else she’d get
dragged into a kerfuffle like last time at the hospital
However, Anastasia overlooked something Gianna had seen her car before. Recognizing her car,
Gianna walked over and tapped on her window
*Anastasia, do you enjoy watching me make a fool of myself?”
Anastasia kept silent.
“I’m here to pick up my mom, Anastasia said seriously, “Whatever youre up to, it’s none of my
business.”
Even if Gianna were to argue loudly on the street or even be involved in a public scandal, she wouldn’t
care.

Gianna looked livid Joey walked over, “Granna, we’ve been married for eight years. What happened
with Dora was just a lapse in judgment. Don’t be angry, I promise II cut ties with her.”
Anastasia was speechless.
What a shameless man
That wasn’t what Joey said last time. Besides, he and Dora’s kid was already in her belly, how could he
cut lies?
“Beat it,” Glanna didn’t forgive Joey. She shouted In anger, then opened Anastasia’s car door and got
in: “Drive”
Anastasia’s eyes widened. She actually had the audacity to get into her car and order her around?
Considering they were cousins, Anastasia didn’t argue with Gianna, and she asked, “Where to?”
“Anywhere,” Glanna’s face was grim, “as long as I don’t have to see him.”
“Then buckle up”
Anastasia started the car and accelerated away. Gianna hadn’t fastened her seatbelt, and due to the
sudden acceleration, she leaned back, grabbing onto the car door in a startled reaction.
“Anastasia, you did that on purpose.”
“If you keep up with that attitude, don’t blame me if I step on it.”
Gianna shut up.
