They placed Jared on the bed and Anastasia waited outside the corridor for Elliot to come out.
Elliot stepped out of the door silently. before he was led to Anastasia to the master bedroom. As soon as they entered the doors, he instantly took her into his. arms.
“There were too many people present. tonight. Finally, I can do what I wanted to do but was too shy earlier to do so,” he mentioned straightforwardly.
Before she could react, he had already. raised her chin and cupped her tiny face to kiss her passionately.
Anastasia could feel the dominance and tenderness that he expressed. Finally, he was satiated and released her as she snuggled into his arms shyly and caught her breath.
T’ll start making preparations for our engagement party, Elliot spoke softly in her ears in a low voice.
“Okay, sure.” She agreed as she didn’t want to make him wait any longer either.
The next morning, Francis, who hadn’t appeared in public for quite some time, turned up at his company. The first thing he wanted to deal with was to sue his lawyer for amending his will without seeking consent from the client.
Colin definitely did not expect Francis to be able to regain consciousness and that there would be proof that he had received a bribe of a million in his bank account. Thus, there was concrete evidence of his crime.
As for Patrick Newman, he had been in a residential area before he was taken into custody that morning. He trembled hard out of fear as he never expected that he would have to pay such a huge price at this age for a daughter he hadn’t even met for the past twenty years.
Inside the police station, Erica’s face was as pale as a sheet, and her eyes were lifeless. In just one day, she had lost her arrogance, and all that was left in her was fear for her future and regret for her actions.
No one knew who revealed this matter to the press. Soon after it was revealed, the news with the heading. The second daughter of the Tillman Family, Erica Tillman, was involved in the murder of their servant, was trending in first place on the web.
Ever since Alex had been detained, Hayley remained holed up in a hotel room and she didn’t dare to appear in public as she was worried that he would reveal something incriminating about her. After all, she had been by his side and concocted plenty of plots for him.
She was busy scrolling on her phone when she suddenly saw a piece of news about Erica. At that moment, she sat upright in shock.
“Erica murdered someone?” After she finished reading the news, she cackled loudly and was delighted by that.
“I can’t believe Erica would somehow end up in this state!” Hayley couldn’t stop cackling, and just then, she felt a dull pain on her cheekbones from laughing too much. Instantly, she clutched her face
and stopped laughing.
It was not evident from Hayley’s appearances, but she knew that several spots on her face required fixing and upkeep. However, she couldn’t afford that, so she had no choice but to continue tolerating this..
Originally, Alex was going to give her a few million, but now that he had been taken into custody, it meant that she had wasted her efforts for the past few days.
Hayley went into the bathroom and took a look at her face in the mirror, which. was still quite beautiful. However, she panicked as she studied her face intently. The bulge on her forehead was too prominent and couldn’t be covered up despite the amount of foundation she applied to it. It was even more prominent when she looked at it from the side..
She hyperventilated as she racked her brain to find a way to obtain money. Suddenly, she thought of Elliot and wondered if she could blackmail him into giving her money for that night five years ago.
She thought of the situation and mentally calculated that it had been several months since she did that despicable thing to Harriet, so perhaps he would forgive her by considering their past relationship. Right now, Hayley had no other option but to give it a shot.
She took a look at the time and it was only 9.00AM, so she decided to wait for Elliot at the underground parking lot of Presgrave Group. She had been to the parking lot plenty of times to know which spot belonged to Elliot.
After she freshened up, she made her way to Presgrave Group. She used to turn up there quite often, so the receptionist remembered her and didn’t stop her from entering the place.
As such, she took the elevators and went directly to the underground parking lot. She hid close to Elliot’s specific parking space and waited patiently.
Hayley was actually just trying her luck there, but unexpectedly, in merely ten minutes, she saw the lights of a familiar car turning in this direction. That was a distinct, elegant feeling exuded by a Rolls-Royce and she was elated to see that.
Elliot was here.
She quickly tidied her long hair and took out a vanity mirror to check her makeup under the lights. Subsequently, she tugged at her neckline to lower it since she wanted to appear gorgeous in front of Elliot.
