Chapter 467 Mr. Helms, Don't Be Angry
Anaya saw that Reina's eyes were red and didn't know what to say to comfort her.
Today, Anaya knew about Lacey's death and was worried that Jaylon would do something to provoke Reina.
However, based on Jaylon's nervousness and Reina's quiet attitude, the two should have gotten along well these
days.
Reina was the same as before, her face expressionless and silent to the extreme.
Jaylon pulled Reina to sit down on the sofa and looked up at Anaya. "Why did Jared let you come alone?"
Anaya was six months pregnant, and she started to show.
When Jaylon and Carlee were talking on the phone a while ago, Carlee kept praising Hearst, saying how good
Hearst was to Anaya. Carlee told Jaylon to learn a little bit from Hearst.
Now it seemed that Carlee's words were not just a little exaggerated.
"Jared worked overtime today. He didn't know I went out," Anaya responded casually, then turned her attention to
Reina. Anaya's voice also softened a lot as she said, "Reina, do you want to stay here for a few days?"
Reina didn't want to bother Anaya anymore. Reina slowly opened her mouth and wanted to refuse, but then she
heard Anaya continue, "If you come here, I can guarantee that my brother won't have the chance to come to my
house and harass you."
Hearing this, Reina paused for a second and immediately nodded.
"Anaya, I am your brother." Jaylon's face darkened.
"Don't you think it's rude to use the word 'harass' on me?"
Anaya looked indifferent. She said, "Don't get too personal. Just focusing on the fact."
Jaylon's eyes were gloomy.
If it was someone else who said this to him and wanted to take Reina away from him, that person would definitely
not be able to walk out of here completely tonight.
However, Anaya was Jaylon's younger sister.
Jaylon couldn't hit or scold her.
Moreover, Reina had also promised to leave, so he had no way to keep her.

Reina hadn't eaten dinner yet, so Anaya wasn't in a hurry to leave. Anaya waited for Reina to finish dinner before
leaving.
The two of them returned to the place where Anaya and Hearst lived.
The villa was on a mountain. It had a very simple modern decoration style with a wide area of lawn that occupied
the entire mountain top.
A while ago, Anaya officially retired from the highest position in the Riven Group. Hearst bought her such a quiet
place to take care of her fetus.
When the two were still on the way, Anaya received a call from Hearst.
When they got home, Hearst was waiting in the parking lot.
As soon as Anaya got out of the car, Hearst came over and supported her.
His black eyes swept over her body a few times. After confirming that she was safe and sound, he said with a cold
face, "Why didn't you tell me when you went out?"
"You worked overtime, and I didn't want to disturb you. Are you angry?" Anaya looked at Hearst's handsome and
tense side profile with a smile.
Hearst did not speak, and his eyes were cold.
Anaya smiled and tiptoed to kiss the corner of his lips, saying, "Mr. Helms, don't be angry. I was wrong."
Hearst's expression eased a little. He said, "Remember to tell me when you go out next time."
"Yes." Then Anaya continued, "By the way, Reina should be staying at our house for a while."
"Okay."
"I plan to sleep with her tonight."
Hearst paused in confusion.
Hearst tightened his jaw and did not speak.
Reina said, "Ana, I'm more used to sleeping alone."
Lacey had only passed away a few days ago. Anaya was a little worried
about Reina. Anaya said, "But..."
Hearst grabbed Anaya's shoulder and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Don't
force her. Let her be alone."
Anaya hesitated for a moment and nodded. She said, "If you need anything,
just tell me. I will try my best to satisfy you."
Reina thanked them and followed the maid to the guest room.
When she got to the room, she came out after washing up and received a
call from Argus.
"Reina, I went to find you today. Why are you not there? Is it because my mother went to look for you that day and
said something bad, so you left
with Jaylon?"
Argus today learned from Reina's neighbor that his mother had gone to look for Reina a few days ago.
After his mother left Reina's house that day, Reina also left very quickly.
And until today, Reina never appeared again.
Reina was now tired and did not want to explain anything to him. She
nestled into the soft sofa and gave a perfunctory "Hmm", wanting to end
the topic.
However, her response made Argus excited. He said, "Did my mother tell you that I was getting close to you for
your money?
"Reina, I did chase you for money at first, but I really fell in love with you later."
"You chased me for money in the first place?"
Reina interrupted Argus. Her voice was still weak, but she was calm and
stern.
Previously, Reina had felt that Argus' obsession and love for her were inexplicable. It turned out that it was for the
sake of money...
She had thought that Argus was a pure young boy.
Who would have thought that such a sunny and clean man would also have
selfish interests in his heart?
"You didn't know?" Argus choked when he heard her words.
Was Argus exposing himself?
"I didn't know." Reina lifted her foot, curled up into a ball, and dove deeper
into the sofa.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was not angry about the matter of Argus and returned to her usual cold
and distant attitude, saying, "Argus, I have already returned to America. I might not return to the small town.
"You are not young anymore. If you want to get married, you should meet
some girls of your age."
Argus' purpose of getting close to Reina was not pure, but Reina had indeed
received a lot of help from him during this period of time, so she was not too angry.
Or perhaps Reina did not care too much about Argus, so she did not care about the fact that she had been
deceived.
Argus' throat was dry, and he spoke with difficulty, "But I only want you."
"I'm sure you can live without me. Time will heal everything, and by then you'll forget about me," Reina said calmly.
Argus asked, "Then are you and Jaylon getting back together now?"
"No."
"Then I..."
"Argus," Reina interrupted him again and said in a tired tone, "don't contact
me again.
"Good night."
After hanging up the phone, Reina turned off her phone and got up to go
back to bed to rest.
After turning off the light, the surroundings were dark.
The emotions that had been deliberately hidden during the day brewed into
surging, boundless loneliness swept over. In the dark, there seemed to be some kind of monster hiding, biting at
her nerves bit by bit.
Reina lay quietly and curled up bit by bit.
Her mind was filled with images of Lacey's body in the morgue that day.
That was the second time Reina saw someone die.
After her father died, Lacey also died.
Now, she was the only one left.
Suddenly, Reina remembered what Jaylon said in the cemetery today.
"I can give you a home."
Reina suddenly became a bit clingy about Jaylon's words.
