“I’m sure it’s her. I’ll send the information to you in a while.”
After returning to the study, Elliot received the footage sent by Rey. The woman on the screen was indeed Hayley, and she was on the phone.
Elliot trusted that there wouldn’t be a problem with Rey’s sources, and their tracking system under Presgrave Group was even bound to the satellite positioning system to measure accurate time and distance.
Why did Hayley order the security guard to burn down the server room? What secret was she hiding? Elliot’s inner doubts welled up.
Perhaps Anastasia would know better about Hayley.
He then picked up his laptop and got up to find Anastasia. Currently, she was on the second floor reading a pile of material reports sent by her father. It took her a long time to digest a few material terms.
She was already feeling a headache since she wasn’t fit to manage a company.
“Do you have some time to spare? I have something to ask you.” Elliot sat opposite her and showed her his laptop.
Squinting her eyes, Anastasia looked at the woman on the screen, asking, “Isn’t that Hayley?”
“Please forgive me for investigating the incident five years ago without your consent,” Elliot apologized beforehand.
Hearing that, Anastasia was baffled. “Why do you want to investigate this matter?”
“I want to find that b*stard and make him rot in prison.” Elliot’s eyes were cold.
Anastasia quickly recalled a recent call from the host who slept with her before. She knew that he was a time bomb that would explode by her side at any time.
By then, her reputation and her son’s background would be heavily affected.
Therefore, sending him to prison could be the only way to end it once and for all.
“Did I tell you that it was Hayley who arranged for the host to sleep with me?” Anastasia raised her head without evading the question.
Hearing that, Elliot was completely stunned. It was the first time he had heard about this from Anastasia.
“Hayley was the one who framed you five years ago?” Elliot instantly widened his eyes in disbelief.
Anastasia recalled that she hadn’t told him about it before, so she nodded. “Back then, Hayley and my sister teamed up to trick me into going to the club. Once I entered the private room, there was already a man who dragged me in.”
Upon hearing the new piece of information, Elliot clenched his fists. What he heard from Hayley was that Anastasia had entered the wrong private room and was violated by a man. She even cut off her friendship with Hayley after that.
Between Hayley and Anastasia’s words, Elliot chose to believe in Anastasia without reason.
“Why didn’t you tell me before that Hayley had framed you?” Elliot felt incredibly guilty and blamed himself for believing in Hayley’s words.
“How could I when you’re so protective of her? I was worried that you’ll believe in her words rather than mine.” When Anastasia thought of that, she felt uneasy.
“Of course I’d believe you,” Elliot affirmed while looking into her eyes.
“Why did you show me this photo?” Anastasia inquired while staring at the screen.
“I asked Rey to check the surveillance footage of the night you were laid five years ago and discovered that a security guard burned the server room of Abyss Club. After checking the IP address as well as the call log of the security guard’s phone, we found out the person who instructed the security guard was indeed Hayley.”
Anastasia was equally as puzzled. Why did Hayley do it?
Was she trying to hide a secret by burning the server room of Abyss Club five years ago?
“Did you know that Hayley and I slept together in this same club?” Elliot spoke though he wasn’t willing to. After all, mentioning it always made him regret it deeply.
Once again, Anastasia was stunned to hear that, so she inquired, “How did it happen?”
“I was unprepared that night. I got caught in someone’s trap, and they wanted to create a scandal to blackmail me, so I fled to a private room. Hayley came afterward, and I took advantage of her under the influence of drugs.”
“Weren’t you intoxicated? How did you know it was Hayley that night?” Anastasia questioned out of curiosity.
“I gave her a watch afterward. She found me through the watch.”
“What kind of watch is it?”
“It is one of my custom-made watches. There is only one of it in the world, and it was in Hayley’s hands. She took it as a pawn in the second-hand market in March this year, and that’s how I found her.”
Anastasia couldn’t help but silently mocked herself. How could they both experience the same thing, but Hayley received Elliot’s materialistic compensation and apology while she wasn’t so lucky? The host she met was selfish and ruthless. He was blinded by greed, didn’t repent his mistakes, and even dared to threaten her!
That made her desperate to find that b*stard and see what kind of nasty look he had. Even though he seemed ashamed that night and even offered his watch to her, she would never forgive him.
“Anastasia, I think you should know Hayley better than I do. Why do you think she burned the server room?” Elliot inquired.
Shaking her head, she answered, “I’m afraid only Hayley knows the answer.”
Since the host existed and even tried to threaten Anastasia before, she never thought about the possibility that Hayley had replaced her, nor did she realize that the b*stard was sitting right in front of her.
“If someone called me, are you capable of finding out who this person was?” Anastasia wanted to rely on Elliot’s ability to find the host.
“Who are you looking for?”
“The host actually called me a few days ago and threatened me. If he calls me next time, perhaps you can help me find out who he is.”
“Give me his number. I’ll get Rey to check it for you right now.”
After fishing out her phone, Anastasia scrolled to the number that had called her a few days ago. Elliot quickly recorded the number and sent it to Rey for investigation.
“Actually, I could ask Hayley if I wanted to find this b*stard. She has his information, but I know that she will refuse to tell me.” Anastasia hated Hayley to her bones.
After hearing Anastasia’s story, Elliot no longer had good feelings for Hayley. He didn’t even want to see her face from now on. Feeling guilty for her was one thing, but what she did to Anastasia back then was unforgivable. When he found out who the host was, he was definitely going to make Hayley apologize to Anastasia.
“I will find this person out and make him pay for his actions back then,” Elliot reassured her.
“Okay. Sorry for the trouble.” Anastasia took a deep breath.
She didn’t want to see the disgusting face of that man, yet she had to face him.
Meanwhile, over at Summit Mansion, Hayley had just returned from the hospital. Her tastebuds were still pretty bland, but she already requested an agency to inquire about her condition with several foreign doctors.
However, Hayley was still happy with her new, beautiful face in the mirror.
