Chapter 170 We Have Divorced
*Janel!”
Angered by Janet’s indifference, Nathaniel clenched his fists tightly and said fiercely, “You have let
down Grandfather. He trusted you!”
He lowered his gaze, his expression Indicating that he was struggling. After a long time, he added,
“And me as well,”
“Nathaniel, we have already divorced.”
Janet lowered her gaze as she opened the door. “You should leave now. It’s past my bedtime. Also,
clean up the blood on the door. I don’t
want to get into trouble with the hotel because of that.”
Then she pushed Nathaniel out while he was still in a daze before saying to Alfred, who was standing
outside the door, “Watch over him in
case he does more crazy stuff.”
With that, she slammed the door shut.
Nathaniel was left in a daze staring at the closed door. Then he closed his eyes in disappointment.
“Mr. Webster, it might not be true… Should I double-check it in case…”
“No need.” Nathaniel interrupted Alfred halfway through his sentences. “From now on, you are not
allowed to mention the matter again.”
“Then you and Ms. Longfellow?”
“Don’t mention her as well!”
At that moment, a delicate voice sounded. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Nathaniel!”
It was Anastasia, who came running. “Why are you here? The door of your room is wide open, and it
was a mess inside. Also, you were nowhere to be seen. You’ve made me worried. I was this close to
calling the police!”
But deep down, Anastasia was happy.
She had seen the blood-stained investigation report, knowing that Nathaniel would never love Janet
again because of that. The report
might even make him hate Janet’s guts.
Noticing that Nathaniel remained silent, Anastasia reached out, wanting to hold his hand, only to find
that his palm was full of dried blood
and that there was a long scar across his palm. That was horrific.
Anastasia’s eyes reddening right away as she asked softly, “Nathaniel, what happened to your hand…
Does it hurt?”
Then she turned to glare at Alfred and questioned him, “Alfred, it seems that you’ve failed in your job.
You should have dealt with his injury
when it occurred!”
Alfred looked gloomy, being questioned like that.
He was Nathaniel’s special assistant, a higher-up in the company. But Anastasia tended to treat him
like he was some random assistant,
which annoyed him greatly.
So Alfred sneered, “Ms. Lambert, you should be the one to deal with it. I mean, you are eager to
please, right?”
“I see why you’re just an assistant now. You are just so senseless!” Anastasia snorted coldly.
Then Anastasia turned to look at Nathaniel and said softly. “Nathaniel, let’s go back to your room now
so that I can deal with the injury.”
Nathaniel didn’t refuse her. Instead, he let Anastasia hold his hand and drag him back to his room.
That made Anastasia feel happy. She thought, I should make advances to him while I can.
As a result, when she was treating Nathaniel’s wound, she intentionally stayed very close to Nathaniel
revealing her body through her
loose neckline.
She thought, by doing that, Nathaniel would desire her.
“Nathaniel!” After tying around his palm with some bandage, Anastasia kissed him on the back of his
hand while asking in a fawning
manner. “It’s getting late. Do you think I should stay here with you for the night?”
Nathaniel didn’t come back to his senses until now. Then he pulled out his arm with cold eyes as he
said, “Anastasia, have you forgotten
what I said?”
“…”
Anastasia bit her lower lip, feeling wronged as if she was about to cry the next second.
“I am grateful for what you’ve done for me. So I’ll always take care of you. But you and I, we’ll never be
together.” Then Nathaniel gave her the key to the room. “Here. You can stay, but don’t bother getting in
touch with me no matter where I am.”
