Chapter 321 Stir Up Trouble
Halfway through lunch, Layla gave Cristian a look.
Cristian understood and waved his hand to call a maid over. "Go and tidy up a guest room for Layla."
The maid nodded and was about to leave when Hearst stopped her. "There's no need. Layla won't stay here
tonight."
Cristian's feminine face showed displeasure, and he ordered the maid in a hostile tone, "Go and do it! This house
belongs to me. I have the right to be the ruler!"
The maid did not dare to move and looked at Hearst awkwardly.
Hearst raised his eyes and looked at Cristian with a cold expression. "You want me to take back the house, right?"
Hearing this, Cristian glared at him and wanted to argue, but Linda grabbed his hand and gave him a warning look.
Cristian was unconvinced, but he could only endure it first.
The maid carefully observed the conflict between them and finally retreated without making a sound, not going to
clean up the room for Layla.
After lunchtime, Hearst directly asked someone to send Layla out, not giving her any chance to pester him.
Layla took a fancy to Hearst, and one of the reasons was that she had taken a fancy to his fidelity.
If he had a partner, he would not look at other women.
How much she admired him for being loyal in the past, then how much she hated it now.
Anaya used some unknown trick to get Jared. In the future, if Layla wanted to win him back, it would be difficult.
However, she was confident that she would be able to win him back.
Back then, her father had brought Jared back from the slums, and Jared had been indebted to her.
She had seen him in his most impoverished years and had helped him solve countless problems.
She and he had suffered together, and she did not believe that Jared had no feelings for her at all.
He was only confused by Anaya's beauty, and what Layla wanted to do was awaken his consciousness.
She would let him know who was the most suitable woman for him!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Layla left, Anaya asked Hearst to take her out for a walk.
The atmosphere in the Helms family was too depressing, and she could not stand it.
Rather than wasting time on these people who were unwilling to accept her and Hearst, she might as well do
something else with Hearst.
Hearst agreed to her suggestion. He didn't call the driver and personally went to get the car.
Anaya was waiting for Hearst at the main entrance. She didn't know
when Cristian had appeared behind her and was shocked.
"Ms. Dutt, where are you going with Hearst?"
Anaya turned around.
The man behind her had a pale face and was so fragile that he would break if she touched him.
However, his eyes were always gloomy, like a poisonous snake flicking its tongue.
The cat on his leg seemed to have fallen asleep. It was breathing lightly, and its body rose and fell with its breath.
"We will just take a walk." Anaya shifted her gaze away from the sleeping cat and asked politely, "Do you want to
join us?"
"I have no interest in walking with Jared." At this time, Hearst was not present. Cristian did not hide his dislike of
Hearst. "Wherever he is, the air is dirty."
Cristian spoke ill of Hearst in front of her. Anaya's face instantly turned cold. "Jared is a good man. As his younger
brother, why do you speak ill of him?"
"Is he good?" As if he had heard a big joke, Cristian laughed a few times, and then his expression immediately
became gloomy. "Ms. Dutt, do you know how my legs were crippled?"
Seeing him ask, Anaya understood what he wanted to say. "You
want to say that your legs were crippled by Jared, right?"
"That's right. Do you think I'm lying to you?" Cristian looked up at
her.
Anaya did not answer, but her silence had already made everything
clear.
Cristian said, "I don't need to lie to you. Everyone in the Helms
family knows about this. If you don't believe me, you can ask
around yourself."
"I'm not interested." Anaya's attitude was cold.
Seeing that she did not waver, Cristian continued, "You have seen
so many people today. You should have noticed their attitude toward Jared. Haven't you thought that everyone in
our family is so
afraid of him?
"Because he had done countless dirty things in the past. The
previous housekeeper of the manor was killed by him.
"He has always been vicious and merciless. If you follow him, you may end up implicating your family and end up
with a broken
family!"
"Are you done?" Anaya rolled her eyes at him. "You told me that he
didn't treat you well. Then why don't you tell me what you did to
him before he treated you ruthlessly?"
"We are his family. What can we do to him?" Cristian's body
stiffened.
"I know Jared is not someone who would provoke others for no
reason. Your legs were crippled because of him. It can only mean that you had made a mistake, and it is as bad as
this serious
punishment."
Cristian thought that Anaya was just Hearst's girlfriend for the
time being after returning to America. He did not expect that she trusted Hearst so much. It was not easy to

When Cristian was exposed, he did not show it on his face. He said
harshly, "I was kind enough to give you advice, but you did not
listen. If something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Anaya was expressionless. "Okay, thank you. I will tell Jared everything you just said to me."
"Are you crazy? I kindly reminded you. But you actually want Jared
to deal with me?" Cristian panicked.
Anaya pursed her lips, her eyes full of ridicule. "Whether you're well-intentioned or not, you have your own
calculations."
Cristian gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but Hearst had already driven the car over.
Cristian had just been lectured by Linda, so he temporarily had no
intention of clashing with Hearst. He could only wheel himself back
to the house.
Anaya walked down the marble steps and opened the door to get in
the car.
She pulled the seatbelt and heard Hearst ask in a deep voice, "What
did Cristian say to you?"
Anaya buckled up and replied, "I'll tell you tonight."
"Why?" Hearst was puzzled.
"He didn't say anything good. I'm afraid that it will affect your
mood."
Hearst laughed, "Aren't you afraid that it will affect my mood while
sleeping?"
Anaya naturally knew what he meant by "sleeping".
She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Drive."
Hearst nodded and stepped on the accelerator.
