Chapter 287 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

The only thing Anastasia had won over her since they were kids was her face. Hayley had always been like a leaf to a rose whenever she stood beside Anastasia.

Now, she had finally become a rose as well.

Just then, her phone rang. After glancing at the screen, she picked up the call and said, “Hello, Daniel.”

“Miss Seymour, I just received news that Old Madam Presgrave will be hosting the annual family banquet tomorrow and inviting her friends and family. Has President Presgrave notified you about it yet?”

“What? Tomorrow?” Disappointment flashed in Hayley’s eyes. Elliot hadn’t even mentioned it to her.

“Yes. It’s tomorrow afternoon at Presgrave Residence. There will be three tables for guests who have a close relationship with the Presgrave Family. I thought President Presgrave invited you, though.”

“I want to be invited! Daniel, can you think of a way to let me in?” Hayley wasn’t going to miss this opportunity. She had to be there!

“You may arrive early tomorrow morning without notifying President Presgrave. Once you’re here, he will not chase you out in front of so many relatives.”

Hayley thought he made sense. After all, it was time for her to reveal her new face beside Anastasia. Not only that, she should arrive early for the banquet, and she was pretty sure that Harriet wouldn’t kick her out because Elliot had violated her before.

As she sat on the sofa, there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. She must not let go of this opportunity to go against Anastasia.

Then, she dialed Erica’s number and said, “Erica, come over to my place tonight. I have a gift for you.”

If she wanted to know anything regarding Anastasia, Erica was the most reliable person.

Hearing that there was a gift for her, Erica left the house immediately.

After arriving, she was shocked to see Hayley.

“Hayley, have you had plastic surgery?” She scanned her up and down in disbelief.

Hayley smirked. “Who do you think I look like?”

“You…” After taking a closer look, she blurted, “You didn’t get surgery just to look like Anastasia, did you?!”

“Just praise my beauty already. I don’t like to hear anything else,” said Hayley as she gloated.

“Oh! You’re so pretty! You’re way more beautiful than Anastasia. Your beauty makes you look elegant! Anastasia is no match for you!” Erica quickly praised her.

Receiving those praises put Hayley in a good mood. She then pushed a bag that she didn’t fancy in front of her, offering, “Here you go.”

“Wow! This is so pretty! You treat me so well, Hayley. I’ve always wanted this bag, but I could never afford it.”

Now that she was using the money that Elliot had compensated her with, Hayley no longer fancied a bag like this. Straightforwardly, she demanded, “Tell me what Anastasia has been up to lately!”

“Did you know? My dad told me she was kidnapped, and the kidnapper is highly likely to be the culprit in her mother’s death.”

“Really? Didn’t her mother sacrifice to save Elliot, though?”

“Yeah! The culprit was Elliot’s uncle, a half-brother to his father.”

Hayley was stunned to hear that. Did that mean the culprit who killed Anastasia’s mother was someone from the Presgrave Family? That should be interesting! Shouldn’t Anastasia hate the Presgraves now?

While Erica continued blabbering, Hayley no longer wanted to hear her out; she already had her own plans.

If Anastasia hated the Presgrave Family, what would she do to them? She would definitely do something to hurt the Presgraves. For example, she might take the opportunity to take revenge on Harriet.

Last time, Hayley noticed that Harriet had been taking some kind of medicine. If something went wrong with her medicine, the blame would fall on Anastasia.

Hayley had always been a vicious person, and she was also a person who dared to act on it.

As long as she could separate Anastasia and Elliot, what else wouldn’t she do?

Just then, Erica’s phone beeped. When she picked it up, she saw a message from Alex that read, ‘Come to my place tonight.’

After reading the message, she smiled and replied, ‘Sure!’

Now that she and Alex had hooked up, their relationship was progressing rapidly. They had even slept together before.

Hayley went to bed once Erica left, but before going to sleep, she took out a watch from her desk. To her, it was the only thing she had that was possessed by Elliot before.

The watch contained Elliot’s presence, and it could provide comfort to her emptiness.

After switching off the lights, the watch suddenly glowed in a shady green color in the dark, its diamonds shining on the entire screen. The shape of a wolf’s head could also be seen in the middle of the watch.

Indeed, it was a beautiful timepiece.

Just like its owner, the watch shone in the dark, showing off its elegance.

The dark green luster paired with the wolf head was a totem of the Presgrave Family.

It was a watch that Harriet tailored specially for Elliot, so it was the only watch in the world.

In Elliot’s mansion, Anastasia lay in bed thinking about her promise to Elliot about attending his family’s banquet on Sunday. However, she didn’t feel like bringing her son over.

Therefore, she decided to ask if her father had a day to spare for her son.

In her dreams, Anastasia unknowingly returned to that night five years ago. She felt that there were a pair of hands clasping tightly around her, and as she struggled, a faint green light flashed across in front of her. That was the only light source amidst the dark.

It was the watch that was glowing in green. Anastasia clearly remembered the wolf head engraved in the watch; in a moment of despair, she struggled to see the source of light emitted from the devil. Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to see the man clearly.

The next morning, Anastasia contacted her father. Since Francis hadn’t seen his grandson in a few days, he was eager to meet Jared again.

Elliot, on the other hand, agreed with Anastasia’s decision. He even assigned his bodyguard to send Jared over.

“My grandma loves Jared. She says that Jared looks like me when I was younger.” As Elliot watch the car leave, he heaved an audible sigh.

Anastasia was just trying to protect her son. If Jared were to attend a crowded event, he might be looked down upon as a child with a single parent.

“Sorry. I don’t mean to not bring Jared over. I hope you understand,” Anastasia explained as she raised her head.

“I understand. You don’t have to apologize.” With that, Elliot held her hand. “You’re not allowed to dress like this today.”

After glancing down at her outfit, she realized it was a little plain. “What should I wear?”
