Chapter 303 The Breaking Point
Hearst tossed his phone to Jayden, who was holding an umbrella for him. Then Hearst took a few steps forward,
crouched down, and tore off the tape from Roland's mouth.
Hearst took action quickly. The tape tugged at Roland's lips and the flesh around them. The sharp pain made
Roland gasp.
Hearst tugged at Roland's collar and lifted Roland. Hearst's deep, dark eyes were filled with coldness. "You're
abroad, huh?"
Roland wanted to curse, but when he met Hearst's gaze, he instantly shut his mouth.
Roland thought, those in my line of work are the best at judging people.
The person in front of me is not someone I can afford to offend.
Roland had a flattering smile on his face and said, "Sir, I don't think my friends and I have offended you, right?
What is this about?"
He vaguely figured that Hearst knew Anaya or Joshua, but he had to confirm the exact answer before he knew
how he could deal with Hearst.
Hearst did not beat around the bush with Roland. He said, "Were you going to Anaya just now?"
They were in a corner of a park less than three miles from Riven Group.
It was still snowing, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Even fewer people noticed what was going
on here behind the bushes.
Occasionally, there were a few people who saw the situation here. They were smart enough not to intrude and
quickened their pace to leave.
Hearing Hearst's questioning, Roland quickly figured out which side Hearst was on. He hurriedly said, "Indeed, I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas going to Ms. Dutt. My friends and I planned to go abroad at first, but Joshua's men stopped us when we were
on the way to the airport.
"We are cornered now. That's why we wanted Ms. Dutt to help us."
Hearst's expression became colder and colder. He frowned. "Were you going to ask her for help or blackmail her?"
Roland was shocked, but he did not show his true emotions on his face. He still smiled bewilderingly, "Sir, there
must be some misunderstanding here. Thanks to Ms. Dutt, we have earned a lot. How can we blackmail her..."
Hearst ignored Roland's quibbling and asked, "Where is the money that you swindled from Joshua?"
Hearst thought, if they are willing to leave on a low-profile, then I don't bother to waste my time dealing with them.
But they dare to come back and blackmail Anaya. Of course, I will not let them off the hook easily.
"Sir, Ms. Dutt said that this money is ours. I'm afraid it is not appropriate for you to ask us to take the money out
now..."
"Let me ask you again," Hearst interrupted Roland. Hearst's cold eyes were sharp, making people feel scared.
"Where is the money?"
Roland was intimidated by Hearst's aura, but he still braced
himself, "Sir, the money is ours..."
Seeing that Roland was so stubborn, Hearst decided to end things quickly.
He threw Roland back to the ground, stood up, patted off the snow on his shoulder, and ordered Samuel, "Take
them back. No matter what method you use, get him to talk."
Samuel was excited. "Alright! I promise that they'll have a great time."
After talking to Hearst, Anaya texted Aracely and Yarden, asking them to have dinner together tonight.
Aracely suggested eating at her place. They could prepare the meal together, and the atmosphere would be more
lively. Anaya gladly agreed.
Anaya went to buy vegetables on the way. When she arrived at
Aracely's place and entered the kitchen, she found out that neither
Yarden nor Aracely could cook, so she had to be the sole cook.
She cooked for two hours. After they finished dinner, they chatted till late at night.
Yarden had some wine. Kim came to pick him up. Before he left with
Kim, he turned around shakily and said to Aracely, "Aracely, tomorrow... Burp... I'll come to pick you up at half past
seven tomorrow morning. Make preparations in advance..." After he finished speaking, he retched a few times, as
if he was about to vomit.
Kim was worried that Yarden would vomit in front of Aracely and
Anaya and lose his manners, so he quickly took Yarden to leave.
After they left, Anaya asked Aracely, "Where is Yarden going to take you? Are you going to take him to the
airport?" Aracely was silent for a moment and explained, "I'm going to
Canada with him. I should be back before the New Year."
"Don't tell me you fell in love with Yarden in such a short time and are ready to follow him abroad." Anaya frowned.
"What are you thinking? Yarden is way much younger than me.
Even if I want to find a boyfriend that is wild and young, I would choose Emmett." Aracely pulled a wry face. "I'm
going abroad to relax. That's it."
Aracely sounded relaxed, yet Anaya noticed something unusual. "What happened between you and Winston?"
"What can happen between me and him?" Aracely brushed it off and pulled Anaya into the bedroom. "Enough.
Take a shower and go to sleep. If you can't sleep, I'll call Hearst over and let you have a good time."
Anaya patted Aracely's head. "Knock it off!"
When Anaya entered the bathroom, she took her phone in as well.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe sent a message to Winston, saying that Aracely was going abroad and asking if anything had happened to
Aracely and him recently.
Winston replied that everything was fine recently and that nothing much had changed.
Anaya figured that Aracely probably could not control herself anymore and was ready to run away from the fact
that Winston and Reina were together.
She texted Winston: "Do you want me to help you stop her?"
Winston quickly replied: "You can't. Just let her be."
Aracely was stubborn. Her decisions could seldom be changed.
Anaya texted: "What are you going to do?"
Winston: "I will go to her after I deal with my work."
Aracely had been emotionally crushed long enough these days, and it was time to give her the breaking point to let
her release her feelings.
Anaya sent an emoji expressing "I understand" over. Then she put down the phone, took a bath, and went to bed.
The next day, Anaya watched Aracely get into Yarden's car and then drove her car back to the company.
Joshua represented the entire Maltz Group. The news of his being defrauded continued to ferment, directly leading
to the Maltz Group's stock plunge. Stockholders were crying foul.
Anaya looked at the real-time update news and the Maltz Group's data while remaining expressionless.
She had not intended to use such cheap tactics against Joshua, but he had provoked her again and again, and
this was the price he should pay. He did not deserve any sympathy.
She received a call from Kelton, saying that he had asked someone to bring back a lot of seafood ingredients from
abroad and would meet with her together with Adams at night.
Before the call ended, Kelton specially asked her to bring Hearst over.
Obviously, Kelton's family had heard about her and Hearst from Adams and planned to meet Hearst.
