Tm halfway through”

The private detective mumbled on the phone.

Cason, perplexed, said, “Why don’t you just come to the hospital? Bring everything you’ve dug up.”

Phone call explanations wouldn’t cut it. Cason needed to see this guy face–to–face

Around half an hour later, a guy in a baseball cap and carrying a briefcase showed up. Cason’s mom

and Demi were shooed out.

The hospital room was left with just Cason and the private detective.

Cason asked, “Where’s the info you found?”

The detective pulled out a stack of documents from his hag and said, “Everything I found is here. I had

to work my way through this. Take a look. This Anastasia chick had a kid and suffered from depression

for a while”

At this, Cason snatched the documents, his eyes scanning over the details about the hospital where

Anastasia had her baby and the doctor who treated her depression

“What a nasty woman.” Cason was fuming Judging by the dates, Anastasia had been messing around

with another man and even had his kid right when he went abroad.

He dated Anastasia for a year, and all they did was hold hands. Not even a kiss. He hinted at spending

the night together more than once, but she always declined, saying she wanted to wait till their wedding

night.

Cason couldn’t help but curse, ‘Playing the innocent in front of me, then sleeping with another man

behind my back. What a piece of work.”

At this moment, Cason’s true nature was laid bare. There was no need for him to keep up his cultured

act any longer.

According to the documents, Anastasia had a child when she was twenty and then suffered from

depression for about a year.

Anastasia also dropped out of school when she got pregnant.

“What about the kid? And the man’s info? Why isn’t there anything?”

The detective said, “That’s all I could find.”

Cason gripped the documents tightly, his eyes cold, “This is enough.”

Enough to ruin Anastasia.

With that, Cason let out a chilling laugh, “I can’t wait to see Herman’s face when he finds out he

married such a nasty woman. His wife has a child, and she’s a woman of loose morals. She’ll be a

stain on his life.”

How could a woman like that marry into the Salstrom family?

If Anastasia was ruthless, he wouldn’t hold back either.

Cason was sure Herman didn’t know about Anastasia’s past. This was his trump card.

With this in mind, Cason wasn’t afraid of Herman anymore. High society values reputation. Once

Anastasia’s scandal was exposed, Herman would be

humiliated

Cason thought about Anastasia’s ruthlessness in cutting ties with him. He now understood why. She

had hooked up with a powerful man from the Salstrom family and was eager to become a part of it.

Anastasia had no idea how Cason would retaliate.

She and Lauren reported to their chief designer, Selena. Meeting her idol, Anastasia was a bit excited..

Selena wasn’t pleased that the company arranged for a fresh high school graduate like Anastasia to be

her assistant.

However, as an experienced professional, Selena didn’t show her displeasure. She just assigned

Anastasia some basic tasks.

Selena was confident Anastasia wouldn’t pass the three–month probation, so she didn’t waste any

energy on her.

On her first day at her new company, Anastasia did basic work, like running errands, and she didn’t see

anything wrong with it. In any company, newcomers always have to take a hit. Who in the design

department hadn’t started as a newbie?

Anastasia remembered her mother’s words, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. She had a low

education level, was new, and had no connections. She needed to be humble and learn.

Lauren knew a lot about Interpersonal communication. She brought gifts for Selena, bought Starbucks

coffee for her colleagues, and immediately won their favor Compared to Anastasia, Lauren was treated

much better. She didn’t have to do basic tasks and could chat about luxury brands at her own

desk.

Lauren was competent and had a good track record overseas. She didn’t intend to compete with these

seasoned employees. Her goal was to become the lady boss of Elysian Technologies, so getting along

with her colleagues was a must.

But Anastasia was different. Her pretty face and curvy body were enough to stir any woman’s jealousy

So, anyone who needed a small favor would go to Anastasia.

For example: “Anastasia, could you get me a glass of water?”

“The new girl, sweep this up.”

“The ink’s out, girl, go downstairs and buy some.”

Anastasia, print this out and put it on my desk.”

So, Anastasia was kept on her toes.
