Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U

Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Walk Into a Trap

As winter approached, the temperature of Boston had been hovering below 41 degrees Fahrenheit for a while.

Anaya chose an earth-tone coat with a white shirt and a green V-neck sweater in it. Then she chose a pair of black straight pants and black leather boots to go with the tops, making her look elegant, chic, and concise.

Then she went downstairs, where Aracely’s car was already waiting by the roadside for her.

“Isn’t Winston going with us?” Anaya asked as she opened the car door and got in.

Aracely wanted to say that she admired Anaya’s beauty today, but hearing Winston’s name, Aracely was displeased right off.

“Whether he goes or not has nothing to do with me.”

Aracely planned to move out after her new house’s renovation. But after what happened the day before yesterday, she changed her mind. Therefore, yesterday after she was discharged, Aracely moved into a hotel and had not contacted Winston ever since.

Anaya understood and stopped asking.

It was no good worrying about other people’s love lives.

The venue for the engagement ceremony was the Royal Hotel.

Despite being slightly sunny, it was still cold today.

On the lawn, people gathered in groups.

And since the network of the upper class in Boston wasn’t that complicated, Anaya knew half of the people present.

After some exchange of courtesies with others, Aracely, looking drained, picked up a drink on the table before gulping down a mouthful of it.

“Anaya, you’re very impressive socializing with people with ease like that. I, on the other hand, feel like I am having a stiff face now due to all those forced smiles.”

Anaya said with a smile, “That’s what everyone else does. You will get used to it after you get into the workplace.”

Back then, when Joshua withdrew his investment from Riven Group, Anaya was forced to plead with different kinds of people for leniency, during which she constantly forced herself to be polite and lumble. That was how she learned to socialize

“Forget it. I’d rather not learn it.” Aracely waved her hand.

Aracely preferred to be a mediocre person. That way, she could avoid being hypocritical.

Aracely put down the empty glass and looked around inadvertently. Then she noticed that Joshua was in the crowd not Iar away, looking right over at them.

Aracely pulled Anaya, “Anaya, that scumbag seems to be staring at you all the while. Since today is Bria’s big day, there should be people from the Maltz family and the Aucher family all around. Do you think Joshua would come al

you?

In fact, Anaya ww long before that Joshua had been fixing her with a stare But Anaya decided to brush that aside.

Anaya thought, I don‘t want to pay any attention to him, which would be looking for trouble that guy is very difficult to get rid of once he is ground,

Ignoring him is the best thing to do.

“There are many people here today. He does not dare to do anything.”

Toshua cared about his reputation greatly. Due to that, he would choose not to accosi Anaya in the public paze.

That was because it would make him look less high and mighly.

Aracely thought about it and felt that Anaya had a point.

And since the sight of Joshua disgusted Aracely a lot. She decided to pull Anaya farther away from him.

But before they could walk away, a waiter walked toward them.

“Ms. Dutt, Mr. Helms is waiting for you at the observatory on the fifth floor of the hotel. Please pay a visit there.”

Hearst was the only person with the surname Helms in Boston.

Aracely nudged Anaya playfully. “I didn’t expect Mr. Helms would chase you here and even require you to meet him alone. Do you think he is going to do anything to you there?”

Anaya pushed her away as she said faintly, “Get lost.”

Aracely chuckled happily.

Then Anaya turned around and asked the waiter, “Did he say what it was about?”

“No.”

“Got it. Thank you then.”

“No problem.”

With that, the waiter lest. Anaya asked Aracely. “Do you want to come along?”

“No. I don’t want to mess up your rendezvous,” Aracely said with a chuckle.

Anaya wanted to retort that it wasn’t a rendezvous, but she bit her lip at last.

“Then see you around.”

“Well, have fun, my baby.”

Anaya smashed her head playfully before leaving.

Meanwhile, Joshua, who was surrounded by the crowd, kept looking at Anaya.

Noticing that Anaya had left, Joshua hesitated a bit before handing the wine glass in his land to Lexie. Then he walked over to the waiter, the one who had just spoken to Anaya.

Lu-vie, on the other hand, tightened her grip on the wine glass, her fingertips turning slightly pale, as she stared at the direction in which Anaya had lell. A sinister smile showed up on her face.

Joshua stopped the waiter and asked, “What did you say to Anaya?”

And since all ile wallers on sile today were liired a few days ago, they were required to remember all the guests beforehand. Therefore, the waiter knew who Joshua was referring to.

“Mr. Har wanted to see Ms. Dute. Therefore, he had me take the message”

“Why is Hank looking for her?” Joshua Trowned

Suddenly, it dawned on Joshua that Aria had arranged for Hank and Anaya to go on a blind date before. But Anaya turned it down right of the bat and even beat up lanka bit.

Joshua thought. judging from what happened that day, it is very likely that Angya doesn‘t like Hank

But then again, why would she want to meet him alone now?

“Sorry. I don’t know.” The waiter seemed to have not noticed the change in Joshua’s expression.

Joshua then asked, “Where are they meeting?”

“Room 5029.”

“They are meeting in a hotel room?” Joshua frowned even more deeply.

”Yes.”

Joshua turned around right away, striding into the hotel building.

The waiter left and walked into the crowd. On his way, be exchanged a glance with Lexie while nodding slightly at her.

Meanwhile, Anaya took the elevator to the fifth floor of the hotel.

The Royal Hotel was near the river, hence an excellent view. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

And starting from the second floor, there was a semi-circular observatory in the middle of each floor.

There were beautiful tables and chairs with decorative carved patterns on them. Looking out from the observatory, viewers could see a swimming pool downstairs and the river further away. That made the observatories the best place to enjoy the scenery.

Anaya came out of the elevator and went straight to the observatory.

But as she passed by Rooin 5029, the door opened all of a sudden.

Then a hand reached out from inside, which then pulled Anaya in.

In its wake, a bang sounded as the heavy solid wooden door slammed shut. Soon, the corridor relapsed into silence, as if no one had ever been there.

It happened so quickly that Anaya was caught off guard without being able to struggle a bit.

The person who pulled her in stood behind lier, with one hand clasping her hands and the other strangling her neck.

Then a voice, which was familiar and despicable as well, rang in her ears. “Anaya, it’s been a while.”

Anaya recognized that he was Hank right away.

And despite Hank gaining the upper hand, Anaya showed no fear at all.

She asked in a low voice, “What do you want?”

Hank lowered his head and whispered in her car with a hint of excitement, “Of course, I want you.”
