Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

Chapter 311 I Want to See You Fall Down

Anaya sneered, "Since when did Mr. Maltz become so conservative?

When you and Lexie were kissing and cuddling outside, did you know what you were doing?"

Lexie's death was a scar in Joshua's heart, and he felt uncomfortable when Anaya brought it up again.

He restrained his anger and said, "I don't want to argue with you about this. I came here tonight because I have

something to ask you."

As he spoke, Joshua stared at her face. "Was it you who reported that there was a murder in No. 4 District of

Waltcester?"

Although Joshua already had an answer in his heart, he still couldn't help but want to hear the answer from Anaya.

Deep in his heart, he still had a fantasy that it couldn't be Anaya who did it.

Because he still had feelings for her, he hoped that she would be kind to him as well.

Even if she didn't like him, Joshua still wished that she would not be so cruel to him.

Otherwise, he would feel very pitiful of himself.

He had done so much for her and even abandoned his ego to win her back. She couldn't be so cruel to him.

However, in the next moment, Anaya's answer completely broke the fantasy in his heart.

"Yes, I asked someone to do it."

The answer was not a surprise, but Joshua still felt a sharp pain in his heart. It was as if he had fallen from the sky

and landed on the ground.

Joshua clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Why did you do this to me? I'm so kind to you..."

"You are kind to me?" Anaya smiled. "Have you forgotten how you lied to me before? Have you forgotten how you

made up the videos to force me? If that is your kindness to me, should I say thank you?

"You should give your kindness to someone else. Because I can't accept it."

Joshua challenged Anaya over and over again. She had given him many opportunities.

But if she let him off so easily this time, then there must be something wrong with her mind.

"Let's set these personal grudges aside for now," Joshua felt extremely stifled in his chest and managed to control

his emotions. "You have to clarify the rumors on the Internet and the tip-off.

Name a price and I will give you what you want."

"Do I look like I lack money?" Anaya was speechless. "Joshua, I just want to see you fall down. I want to let you

have a taste of the suffering I once suffered because of you. I don't need money. And I don't want it from you

either."

Anger rose in Joshua's eyes. "You want to corner me?"

"You are wrong, Mr. Maltz," Hearst interrupted the conversation between the two. He said lightly, "If Ana wanted to

corner you, you would not be able to stand here."

"Hearst! Don't you go too far!" Joshua raised his voice uncontrollably. "It won't be easy even for you to kick the

Maltz family out of Boston!"

"It's just a matter of time." Compared to Joshua's angry look, Hearst still maintained his calm appearance. "It might

have been a bit difficult in the past, but now, it won't take much effort to make it happen."

It was indeed not easy to deal with the Maltz family in the past, but now the Maltz family is full of loopholes. It was

like an old and weathered building that would collapse if a strong wind blew over.

After learning that Anaya was threatened by Joshua, Hearst

thought of killing Joshua.

However, Anaya wanted to take revenge herself and play games

with Joshua, so Hearst did not interfere.

He had always respected Anaya's choice. If she had the ability to do something, he would let her do it.

When she had no way of dealing with it, he would solve all the problems for her.

Hearst's calm and composure made Joshua angry, but he could do nothing about it either.

Not to mention Hearst, it would be very difficult for him to do anything to Anaya now.

Seeing that Joshua no longer spoke, Anaya coldly said, "Mr. Maltz, don't waste your energy on me. I won't help

you and your family."

After she finished speaking, Anaya took Hearst's hand and was about to leave.

But Joshua strode forward and blocked their way. He sounded tired.

"Anaya, are you really so heartless to me? You have loved me for ten years. Why... Can't you continue to be good

to me like before?"

"Do you mean to be a simp, Mr. Maltz?" Anaya even scolded herself for what she did in the past. "I used to be

cheap. I have loved you for so many years, and see what I got in the end? Nothing.

"I used to love you just because I mistook you for someone else I have met in the manor. But now I know

everything.

"Joshua, you are nothing to me anymore."

Before knowing that the teenager in the manor was Hearst, Anaya still regarded Joshua as her puppy love, and

occasionally, she would still feel sad.

But now when she faced Joshua, Anaya felt nothing in her heart.

After she finished speaking, Anaya pushed Joshua away and left.

Hearing the footsteps of the two people disappear away, Joshua clenched his fists. In the end, he did not catch up

with them but walked towards the elevator.

His only purpose for attending the party tonight was to ask Anaya to withdraw the rumors on the Internet and admit

that it was she who reported his project.

Now that Joshua was rejected again, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

If he stayed, he would have to witness their intimacy.

It was pointless to him.

Anaya took Hearst to the rest area before she stopped. It was a simple reading corner with a few cloth sofas

surrounding it in a circle. There were two brown bookshelves against the wall, with some books, magazines, and

tiny green plants on them.

Anaya let go of Hearst's hand and sat on the sofa.

The episode just now made her unhappy. But she still shrugged and said jokingly, "See, I said that he was the one

who pestered me. I

didn't go to him at all."

Hearst slightly lowered his eyes and looked straight at her. There was a sort of unknown emotion in his eyes.

"Is me the guy in the manor you just told Joshua?"

As he spoke, Hearst stepped closer to Anaya and pinned her between him and the sofa.

They were so close to pressing each other and they could feel the heat from each other.

Hearst lowered his head and pecked at her cheeks.

His breath tickled her.

Hearst lowered his voice and asked her, "You chased after Joshua for so many years just because you mistook

him for me?"
