My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 369

Chapter 369: The Meeting
The next day,

Anastasia was standing in front of her closet, ready to get dressed to go meet with Xander and Samantha to continue their conversation from the previous night.

Anastasia looked into her closet, finding it full.

Julian had not only given her accommodation but a car, a credit card, and a closet filled with clothes too. She couldn’t help but feel slightly uncomfortable with how she was being treated by him. She was tempted to contact her secretary back at her company, Leo, explain things to him, and have him wire some money into her new bank account so some things can be settled—at least financially.

It wasn’t a difficult task but the chances of him contacting Xavier afterwards were high.

“If he’s loyal to me, then he should obey me,” she thought to herself with a finger tapping on her chin. “I’ll think about that later.”

She quickly picked out her outfit which was a simple white blouse with denim blue jeans, and heavy makeup to conceal her scars before she stepped out of the room.

Julian wasn’t around to take her to their location because he’d left earlier to handle a few matters, which meant she would be heading there all alone.

Anastasia squeezed her eyes shut as she braced herself for what was to come.

**

In a private suite in a bustling restaurant, four people were seated across from each other, different kinds of drinks placed right in front of them as they conversed without the fear of someone eavesdropping on their conversation.

“So, this Jennifer Reyez girl, are you sure you would want her to be part of this business?” Bruce questioned Xander with a calculating expression.

“Of course,” Xander said, a gleam of excitement lighting up his eyes. “She’s clearly a valuable asset. Having someone with her influence and connections will open doors for expanding our business. And let’s not forget the leverage she holds—a secret about the royal family of Regalith. With that, we can pressure them into allowing us to establish a baby factory in the city.”

His voice was smooth, his jubilation barely masking the calculating edge beneath his words.

Bruce could see that Xander was overwhelmed with the plans of this new business partner.

“I really can’t wait to see her and hear what she has to say,” he said, slowly looking at Samantha who hadn’t said a single word since they arrived at the restaurant. “But keep in mind, what if she’s a spy?”

The woman noticed his gaze and met it for a few seconds before immediately darting her eyes away.

“Jennifer has been a good friend of mine for the longest time, so it’s impossible she’s a spy.” Julian was the one who spoke.

Bruce could only shrug. Just like Xander, he was also excited about the new business expansion idea because that would also give him a connection to the royal family, which equals more power. Power that will make him undefeatable. Besides, Julian had been a good partner in the business so he trusted his judgment.

“Well, I’m going to be seeing her myself, then I can make my judgment,” said Bruce.

All of a sudden, Xander received a text on his phone. He quickly glanced at it before flipping it immediately when he realized it wasn’t a text from Jennifer.

It was a text message from Michelle questioning why he didn’t take her along with him.

Unfortunately for him, Samantha when was sitting close to him caused a glimpse of the text before he could completely flip the phone over, and she could only sigh while rolling back her eyes tirelessly.

There was a little knock on the door of the private suite.

“Come in,” Xander replied.

The door was opened, and a waitress with a familiar lady beside her came into view.

“Apologies for being late; there was some traffic on the way,” Anastasia said, her voice calm but assured as her gaze swept across the room. She made deliberate eye contact with each person in the suite, her composure unwavering.

When her eyes landed on the older man with white stubble shadowing his chin, her focus lingered. It wasn’t difficult to recognize him—his presence commanded attention, and the faint smirk tugging at his lips suggested he knew it too.

‘Bruce Vlarie.’

He was the one man Julian had warned Anastasia to be careful with. He’d already informed her he would be joining their early meeting so she wasn’t shocked at all for his presence.

He’d also suggested she arrive a little later than scheduled so she would appear busy and cramped up with other work as she’d posed at the party.

“So, you’re Jennifer Reyez, pleasure meeting with you,” said Bruce as he stood up and offered her a handshake.

His green eyes were narrowed as he looked at her, judging her and watching her every movement like a hawk.

Anastasia didn’t waver at all.

“It’s night meeting you…Mr…”

“Bruce Vlarie,” Bruce replied.

Anastasia shook his hand with a polite smile. She shook Xander’s and Samantha’s hands before she settled in her seat beside Julian.

“I have what we can use to manipulate the royal family of Regalith,” she started.

She reached inside her handbag and brought out a file, opened a few pages before she finally reached what she needed to show them.

“As I was saying at the party, the royal family is up to some illegal businesses that we could use against them.” Then she handed Xander the file to take a look.

Xavier’s eyes widened as he scanned the words on the file, his breath hitching in disbelief.

“As you can see in that file, the royal family is involved in drug trafficking, land grabbing, illegal arms smuggling and several other illegal acts,” Anastasia started.

Then she brought out her phone and played a video for everyone to see.

In the video was a pregnant woman with a huge baby bump. Words started spilling out from her mouth, words that shocked everyone in the room.

“It turns out they are also into illegal surrogacy, just like you,” she finished.
