My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 367

Chapter 367: Getting To Know Each Other
Suddenly, Anastasia felt a tight arm around her shoulder.

“She’s a very close friend of mine and I was the one that brought her here,” Julian suddenly said.

Xander looked at Anastasia with more ease now, his suspicious gaze flying out of the window after Julian’s acknowledgment. Now he knows she isn’t some threat or some spy.

“So, what do you have to offer?” He asked, his hand crossed around his chest, ready to be amazed.

“Well, I’ve heard so much about you from Julian,” Anastasia started. Xander gave Julian a look because he wasn’t supposed to be talking about his business to just anyone. However, he didn’t say anything. “And I feel like you could expand your business more with the right resources of course.”

Samantha and Xander now shared a look, waiting for her to continue.

“You must have gained a lot of clients from Xattlewood only, but think about the clients you’ll get when you expand the surrogacy industry to other cities where it’s still illegal.”

“I understand where you’re going with this. However, making connections and protection from overseas can cause a lot of hassle.”

Xander might be well known in Xattlewood, Glamourwood, and other cities, however, the connections he’d made weren’t enough to expand the business like Jennifer Reyez was suggesting. If he made just a little mistake, Xavier could figure him out and attack him.

He’d noticed his twin brother had been on a wild hunt lately, and going out of Xattlewood alone terrified him.

“I understand, and that’s where I’ll come in.” Anastasia’s reply received a small frown from the trio—Xander, Samantha, and Michelle—standing before her. “You see, I have connections to important cities I believe would be the best places to expand your business, like Regalith.”

Regalith was a city ruled by kings and queens, a royal family that didn’t seem to want to get involved in such a business.

“That city is clean as hell, there’s no way the king and queen of Regalith would want such a business to be tied with their kingdom,” Samantha said.

Anastasia’s eyes slowly tore away from Xander to look at her. Anastasia could swear Samantha was wearing more than 10kg of makeup just to look presentable. If the lights were switched off right now, she was sure Samantha would stand out like a ghost.

However, these were things running around in her mind.

“The city may look clean, but I’m sure there’s something the royal palace is hiding. Everyone has a secret of their own they wouldn’t want anyone to know about,” Anastasia replied.

Xander couldn’t help but wonder if Jennifer Reyez was talking about him or everyone.

“I’ve done my research on the royal family,” Anastasia began, her voice low but firm, “and I’ve uncovered some crucial information about them. Information that, if used correctly, could threaten them into allowing a baby factory company to be built in Regalith without any external interference.”

Now, Anastasia’s words piqued Xander’s interest.

While Anastasia had been busy recovering, that wasn’t the only thing she’d been doing. She was aware earning Xander’s trust was a long journey that would take a lot of time, so because of that, she made research on his behalf that would come in handy when meeting him once again.

“What kind of information?” Michelle, who’d been quiet, questioned this time around.

Samantha gave her an odd look and she pretended not to see it.

“We can’t have that kind of conversation right now.” Right when those words flew out of her mouth, the emcee of the event came and made a quick announcement regarding the event starting in a few minutes. “Let’s meet up one more time and I’ll share everything you need to know about the Regalith city and the secrets of the royal family.”

Xander and Samantha exchanged a look and Samantha nodded.

‘Oh so he takes advice from her first,’ Anastasia thought to herself, loving the simple yet tender intersection between the two. Unfortunately, they were devils that needed to be sent back to hell.

“Share your contact details, I’ll let you know when and where we can continue this conversation,” said Xander.

Anastasia quickly shared her contact details with Xander, and they left for their seats as the event was about to start.

Anastasia released a rough breath she didn’t realize she’d been holding the whole time she was speaking with the trio. Then her gaze settled on Michelle’s back who swayed her hips left and right as if she was begging the bone to break.

Anastasia had to sit in the opposite direction to Xander and Samantha. She couldn’t handle sitting near them.

Julian was with her the whole time.

“You did a great job,” he said.

She was tempted to smirk but it was still too early to celebrate. Phase one of her plan was complete, now phase two which was sharing the information regarding the Regalith family would be put into action very soon.

The emcee came out once again and made another announcement.

Anastasia was not only there to speak with people there and get to know them, but also to make friends with the main couples of the anniversary.

A man in his late fifties came out with the biggest pot belly Anastasia could swear she’d ever seen. It was like he was pregnant with five babies. Beside him was his wife. She looked flawless and beautiful, not a single hint of the dark world exposed on her skin.

“Thank you all for coming to my anniversary today. Me and my wife have been together for the longest ages and…” The words of the man drifted off as Anastasia monitored his movements. He moved like a king, a ruler. Even with his appearance, he was still oozing with power.

Anastasia was tempted to leave and prepare for her next meeting with Xander, but she stayed.

The night was still too young and who knew what other important information she would be able to unravel.
