Chapter 190 stir Up Trouble
Hearst’s appearance instantly attracted the attention of everyone.
Hearst looked indifferent and the disturbance or restlessness of the scene around seemed to have no influence on him at all. Giving out a natural aura of nobleness and looking reserved, Hearst walked toward Anaya at a moderate pace.
Ever since Hearst appeared, Joshua’s gaze had been fixed on Hearst, and Joshua’s face darkened.
Joshua didn’t say anything until Hearst walked to Anaya’s side and stood in front of her, naturally protecting her. “Mr. Helms, I’m afraid no one has invited you to tonight’s party,” Joshua said in a deep voice.
Hearst ignored Joshua. Instead, Hearst glanced at Bria’s swollen face, then turned around and asked Anaya, “Got into a fight?”
Hearst said to Anaya in a deep and mellow voice, and then he smiled lightly.
Anaya suddenly recalled a conversation she had with Hearst before.
Anaya once asked Hearst whether he thought she was someone who always quarreled with others all day.
And Hearst asked Anaya if she would fight with others as a reply.
In the past, Hearst had never seen the scene of Anaya beating someone up, and Anaya could deceive herself by telling herself that hier image in his mind might not be that bad.
However, today, Anaya not only quarreled with someone but also beat someone up.
And what was worse, Hearst saw all that now.
For some reason, Anaya felt a little embarrassed.
Anaya pretended to be calm and said, “Yes.”
After that, Anaya added, “Bria was the first to pick a fight.”
Anaya immediately explained, and it seemed like she was afraid that Hearst would think that she was a person who liked to make trouble out of nothing.
Hearing Anaya’s explanation, Hearst put on a broader smile.
Anaya felt so awkward that she turned her head away, not daring to look into Hearst’s cyes.
Joshua stared fixedly at Anaya and Hearst while the two of them talked as if no one else was around. Then a certain indescribable emotion rose up in Joshua’s heart.
Behind Joshua, Bria suddenly spoke up, “It was clearly Anaya who came here to cause trouble. How can she put the blame on me…”
Perhaps it was because Bria had been scolded by Joshua just now. Bria said in a lower voice this time, not daring to talk loudly as before
Although Bria said it in such a low voice, everyone nearby could hear it.
Anaya heard that too.
Anaya turned her gaze away from Hearst to lexie and looked at her a little more coldly. “Ms. Auclier, is not that wound on your face serious enough? Do you want more?”
Bria suddenly felt that the wound on her face hurt even more, she shirank into Lexie’s embrace and did not speak
again.
When Lexie saw that Joshua had been staring at Hearst, Lexic was worried that if Anaya and Hearst went on provoking Toshua like this again, Joshua might break the engagement or do something drastic, so Lexie instantly said to Anaya, Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Anaya, it was Bria’s fault today. I am sorry. Bria is young and doesn’t know any better. Don’t take what she said seriously.”
“Why are you apologizing to her?” Joshua gol angry to see Lexie apologize to Anaya. “I was clearly Anaya’s fault just now. She should be the one to apologize!”
When Joshua saw that Hearst was still standing in front of Anaya, protecting her, Joshua felt so indignant that he even wanted to throw Hearst out right now.
“Anaya, since you refuse to apologize, then don’t blame me for being rough with you!”
Joshua raised his voice and said, “Come and catch Anaya and Hearst!”
Anaya took a step forward, intending to subdue Joshua first before his men arrived.
“Sorry.”
Just as Anaya took a step, Hearst, who was standing in front of her, spoke.
Hearst apologized, but there was no guilt on his cold face. “When I came just now, a man at the gate did not let me in…
“So, I changed the guards outsicle,” Hearst said calmily.
As Hearst finished his words, the scene was in an uproar.
“Really? I didn’t even hear any sounds of fighting outside.”
“Since the man said so, it should be true, right?”
“When I got here just now, I saw many bodyguards outside. How did this guy do it?”
“By the way, who is this man? How dare he confront Mr. Maltz directly? Isn’t he afraid?”
“Don’t you read the news? This man is Anaya’s pursuer. It is not the first time that he has confronted Mr. Maltz. I heard that last time, at Bria’s engagement party, Mr. Maltz’s men were even beaten up by him.”
“It can’t be? Didn’t Mr. Maltz even teach the guy a lesson at that time?”
“Haven’t you ever thought about it? Maybe it’s not that Mr. Maltz doesn’t want to, but that he can’t?”
“I don’t think so. The Maltz family can be seen as the most influential family in Boston, so who on earth is Hearst to dere to provoke Joshua?”
Anaya was also shocked.
These guys are really quite good at preparing for a rainy day, Anaya thought.
When Joshua heard the discussions around him, he felt Hearst more and more annoying
Joshua thought, why is this guy always stealing my show?
Joshua eritled luis teeth, his eyes lilled with unstoppable anger. “Ilearst, are you deliberately stirring up trouble?”
“No, I did that just in case.” Hearst said in a calm tonic, “Mr. Maliz, since you always bully others with your power, 1 certainly have to first figure out a way to protect mysell.”
Joshua was infuriated by Hearst’s attitude and wanted to make a move.
Lexie iminediately stopped Joshua and sali, “Joshua, forget it. Tomorrow is our wedding day. It is better not to make it big tonight.”
Joshua was unmoved and struggled to ret Lexic to let go.
Lexic lowered her voice, “Joshua, please. We are going to get married tomorrow. I don’t want any more trouble.”
Joshua changed luis mind, and he remained silent, not pushing Lexie away again.
Seeing Joshua calm down, Lexic forced a sinile and looked at Anaya. “Anaya, I’m really sorry tonight. Joshua doesn’t teel alright. I’ll go upstairs with him first. You and Mr. Helms have a good time.”
After saying that, Lexie directly supported Joshua upstairs.
Before Lexie left, she did not forget to ask Bria to go upstairs as well.
At the end of the farce, the two main characters toniglit left the scene, and there was only an awkward silence left.
Robin went on stage to preside over the order of the scene, enlivening the atmosphere, and the music sounded again. The young masters and young ladies in the hall began to have fun again.
However, the atmosphere was still a little worse than before.
Anaya had originally planned to leave. After Joshua and Lexic went upstairs, Anaya also intended to go back.
Hearst said lightly, “I’ll send you off.”
“Thank you.” Anaya nodded.
Aracely wanted Hearst to liave more chances to be with Anaya, so Aracely suggested, “Anaya, it’s still early. Why don’t we go to the bar and have a drink? I was planning on hooking up with a boy tonight, but after all this fuss, it all blew up, so you have to compensate me.”
Anaya had nothing to do at night and agreed.
Aracely looked at Hearst again. Perhaps it was because the aura around Hearst was too strong, Aracely could not help but say to him with a hint of respect.
“Mr. Helms, will you join us?”
Hearst nodded. “Of course!”
The three of them walked out. Anaya looked at Hearst. “What are you here?”
Anaya was somewhat surprised to see Hearst here.
Anaya thought, this guy always shows up around me all of a sudden, and if I had not been clear about his character, / might have felt thar he had been following me
Hearst lightly said, “I was running errands nearby. Ms. Tarleion just sent me a text for help, so I came over.”
Anaya gott and stopped asking
Out of the main entrance of the hall, Anaya sawadark mass outside the iron gate from alar. After counting carefully, Anaya finally understood what Hearst said about havinchanged the people guarding outside meant.
There were seven or eight luxury cars parked outside, and dozens of bodyguards were guarding there. And all of this belonged to Hearst.
