Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Daisy‘s Provocation

Timothy showed Anaya around, but Joshua didn‘t come up to find faults with him.

He felt bored and coincidentally saw an old lover. He said goodbye to Anaya and went to flirt with the woman.

The visitors who came today were all famous people in Boston. Before the Dutt family lost its power, Anaya had been the attention of everyone.

But now, if she talked to someone, people would probably think that she was trying to curry favor with them.

She didn‘t force herself to integrate into the group. She found a corner to sit down and casually sipped on her wine.

Several women sat down on the sofa next to her. One of the women deliberately raised her voice and said, “Guess how long it will take for Anaya to beg Mr. Maltz to get a remarry?”

Anaya looked over.

It was Daisy Raney, who went to the same university where Anaya studied with a different major.

Daisy liked a boy back then, but that boy chased after Anaya all day long. As a result, Daisy hated Anaya to her guts.

Although Daisy had no feelings for that boy later on, her hatred for Anaya had not disappeared arall. She would find any chance to get close to Anaya and deliberately irritate her.

Daisy continued, “I bet that in less than a month, Anaya will have to put back her dignity and go back to the Maltz‘s home.”

Her friends all echoed her.

“One month? Isn‘t it a bit longer? I bet half a month.”

“I think she can‘t hold on much longer. She came to the banquet with Mr. Parkhurst today. I guess she deliberately did so to provoke Mr. Maltz. It‘s a pity that Mr. Maltz didn‘t pay any attention to her at all.”

Anaya took a sip of red wine and raised her eyes to look at them. She said in a low voice, “I bet I won‘t in my entire life.”

Daisy pretended to just have seen her. “Ms. Dutt? I didn’t see you just now. When did you come?”

Anaya‘s expression was gentle, but her smiling eyes were inexplicably sharp and frivolous. “When you ladies started to make noise.”

She was saying that they were noisy.

“Ms. Dutt, Mr. Maltz seems to spend a lot of time with Ms. Dunbar recently. Aren‘t you angry at all?” Daisy asked.

Daisy thought she had ruthlessly hurt Anaya‘s heart, but Anaya did not care about it at all.

“We have been divorced. Does it have anything to do with me?”

Daisy thought that Anaya was just trying to be brave. She snorted lightly and continued, “I have also heard that Mr. Maltz stayed out for the night. That Ms. Dunbar is the woman who appeared at the hotel with Mr. Maltz not long ago, right?

“Everyone is saying that you divorced him because of that woman. In my opinion, men tend to flirt with women outside, but they aren‘t serious. You divorced him because of this. Don‘t you think you‘re making a fuss and leaving a laughingstock for outsiders?”

Anaya lowered her eyes and shook the goblet in her hand. The red liquid rippled. “So Ms. Raney, you are quite

open–minded. No wonder Mr. Selman stays outside every night. It turned out that he has an open–minded wife.

“I just wonder if he will still be interested in you after sleeping with those women outside. As a friend, I would like to remind you to be careful. A gentle and considerate wife like you shouldn‘t get sick because of a good husband.”

Daisy had just gotten married this year due to her family‘s order. They had no feelings for each other.

Daisy‘s husband was famous for being a playboy in Boston. He didn‘t care about the business and only binged on enjoyment.

It was said that on his honeymoon with Daisy, he looked up with a few foreign girls and left Daisy in the hotel room alone.

Daisy looked down on her husband and never mentioned anything about her family outside.

She thought that she had hidden the secret well. Many socialites knew about this, but they only talked behind her back

Now that Anaya mentioned it, someone behind Daisy laughed.

Daisy felt as if her face was slapped and burning in pain.

After losing face, she became angry and scolded in a low voice, “Anaya, why are you so proud? You ugly monster, you don‘t have the ability to keep your man, and you dare to slander my relationship with my husband. Are you shameless?”

“Ms. Raney, shouldn‘t you look at yourself in the mirror before judging me?” Anaya put down her wine glass, still holding a calm smile, “Your marriage condition is reflected by the reactions of these people. You should know that everyone is aware in their hearts. If you continue, the one who will make a joke is you.”

Daisy was so angry that her whole body trembled, but she could not say anything to refute it.

Her relationship with her husband was indeed not good. Moreover, Anaya was indeed way more beautiful than her.

Anaya had been beautiful since she was young. She was famous in the circle of socialites. In addition, her family was rich. The number of rich young men who pursued her back then was considerable. It was a pity that at that time, she was interested in no man other than Joshua.

The previous Anaya was adored by everyone,

Now that Anaya had divorced Joshua and was abandoned by the wealthy Maltz family after her family had lost power, Daisy had the confidence to laugh at her.

In comparison, Daisy was no better than Anaya.

Daisy didn‘t think much before saying so. Otherwise, she would not have said such abrupt words with flaws to only embarrass herself.

Anaya didn‘t intend to continue the conversation and prepared to find a quiet place to rest.

She turned around and met a pair of eyes unexpectedly.

Hearst was standing not far from her, fixing his black eyes at her, as if he had been looking at her quietly for a long time.

Hearst had delicate features different from other luxurious men. He was noble and reserved.

He was handsome but aloof.

He must have heard everything she said to Daisy,

Anya suddenly felt awkward.

She stood up calmly and walked over to him. “Mr. Helms, why are you here?”

When she got closer, she smelled the medicinal fragrance on his body again.

It wasn‘t pungent but comfortable.

It smelled just like him.

“I came with someone, Hearst said flatly.

Martin brought him here.

Anaya thought that he came with another woman.

Anaya glanced at him, but she didn’t find any sign of his sugar mommy.

He asked, “You know Mr. Parkhurst?”

“We‘ve met a few times before.”

Hearst shut up.

He was not a talkative person.

Anaya felt cold standing beside him and was ready to leave.

Someone bumped into her from behind, and she lost her balance. Hearst reached out and gently held her hand.

At the same time, the glass shattered on the ground.

The entire hall quieted down because of the sharp and ear–piercing sound. Everyone looked toward them.

After Anaya stood firmly, Hearst quickly withdrew his hand, maintaining respect for her.

“Are you alright?”

Anaya shook her head and looked back.

The woman called Mia Tirrell who bumped into her was just chatting with a friend. She walked backward and didn‘t notice Anaya was behind her. She accidentally bumped into Anaya.

Anaya could feel that woman bumping into her from the back

It wasn‘t her fault, but that woman‘s crystal ball was damaged.

She was about to apologize, but Mia made things difficult for her.

Mia widened her eyes and scolded, “Why are you standing here? Won‘t you get out of the way when you see someone coming over? My crystal ball is broken! My friend brought it for me as my birthday present from abroad! You need to compensate for my loss!”

In the past, Mia wouldn‘t dare to make things difficult for Anaya.

But now that the Dutt family had declined, Mia was completely fearless.
