She hated Elliot for treating her like that, but she hated Anastasia even more; Anastasia must have whispered horrible things about her in Elliot’s ears, turning her into a vicious woman.

Hayley took a deep breath, the hatred apparent in her eyes as a sneer crept onto her lips. She got up and walked out of the room, but a servant immediately reached out and stopped her. “Miss Seymour, Young Master Elliot insists that you have your meal here.”

“Can’t I go to the bathroom?” Hayley glared coldly at her, then strode toward a certain place. When she was here last time, she had the opportunity to tour the Presgrave Residence.

She remembered faintly that Harriet’s medicine was kept in a specialized room on the first floor. She thought that since the Presgrave Residence housed such a large family, they probably wouldn’t install CCTVs inside their house. This would make her operation much easier.

Just as expected, she didn’t spot any CCTVs around her. When she passed by the garden, she heard laughter coming from the main hall. It filled her heart with envy, for Anastasia was probably there as well.

Hayley noticed that the servant was following her. Annoyance flashed across the depths of her eyes as she instantly walked further into the garden. The servant called after her, “Miss Seymour, please don’t run around. That’s not where the bathroom is.”

Soon, Hayley managed to throw off the servant and emerged from another corridor. Now, all the servants were gathered at the main hall to serve the guests, so the huge Presgrave Residence looked especially empty.

A vicious feeling rose up in Hayley’s heart. Even if Harriet had no ill intentions toward her, she still hated that old woman. She hated how Harriet favored Anastasia over her without helping her get together with Elliot.

As such, Hayley wouldn’t mind Harriet dying. She just wanted Anastasia to take the blame.

Finally, Hayley found the storeroom on the first floor. As expected, she walked briskly over and found that it was unlocked. She opened the door and saw a few freezers inside, in addition to a row of shelves. However, Harriet’s usual medication was placed on a table, and a few medicine bottles were placed separately in a small basket. Hayley poured them out and studied them briefly before putting two similar types of pills inside.

The pills were sleeping medications and also heart medications with complicated ingredients. If consumed over a long period of time, a person of Harriet’s age would experience problems soon enough.

After swapping out the pills, Hayley immediately left the scene.

Hayley passed by the garden once again, and when she saw the bustling on the other side, she suddenly felt the urge to go over as well. Didn’t Elliot ban her from meeting Anastasia?

In that case, it was all the more reason for her to let Anastasia know that she was here.

Hayley went closer to the main hall on purpose. When she saw two well-dressed ladies in front of her, she suddenly put a hand to her forehead and fell onto the floor.

“Oh! Are you alright, miss?” Just as expected, one of the ladies rushed over to her.

Hayley fainted right away, and she heard another lady say, “I’ll go get help.”

At the table, Anastasia was sampling the desserts when she heard a lady rush in, saying, “Come quick! Someone just fainted. Hurry up and send her to the hospital!”

Elliot had just excused himself to answer a call, and Anastasia was sitting next to Nigel. When they heard the shouts, Nigel was the first to get up. Anastasia followed him out.

Nigel looked at Hayley and asked, a little stunned, “Who even is she?!”

“Just ignore that and send her to the hospital right away,” Nigel’s mother urged.

When Anastasia saw Hayley lying on the floor, she was instantly shocked. She didn’t expect that Hayley would be here as well. Just then, someone shouted, “She’s waking up.”

Hayley, who was in Nigel’s arms at the time, suddenly opened her eyes. Nigel immediately put her down. Just then, a servant hastily walked over. “Miss Seymour, why are you here? I’ve been looking all over for you.”

“What’s the matter with this Miss Seymour?” Brenda asked.

“Y-Young Master Elliot told us to let Miss Seymour dine in the side hall,” the servant replied.

Anastasia’s gaze met Hayley’s, and the hatred in Hayley’s eyes was directed right at her. Anastasia understood right away that Hayley had attended as well, but Elliot had arranged a separate dining area for her.

Hayley definitely didn’t come on official invitation; she had come of her own accord.

“You—” Nigel looked at Hayley, then back at Anastasia. He felt as if he had just met the bootleg version of Anastasia, and traces of Hayley’s plastic surgery were visible in the sunlight.

“Miss Seymour, I’ll get a car ready to send you back after the meal.” The housekeeper appeared and gestured toward Hayley. “This way, please.”

“I’ll inform Old Madam Presgrave first,” Hayley told the housekeeper.

“Sorry, but Young Master Elliot has asked me to take you home right away.” The housekeeper didn’t want Hayley to affect the other guests.

Hayley was a little reluctant, but at that moment, the female guests who gathered around her were all examining her in surprise. She could only say, “Fine, I’ll leave. However, can I have a word with my friend first?”

With that, she pointed at Anastasia.

Anastasia instantly declined in disdain. “There’s nothing to say between us.”

“Anastasia, when you were assaulted five years ago, you said that I was the one who did it. Why did you tell Elliot that I was the one behind it? Since when did I order a host to sleep with you, causing you to give birth to a son as a result?” Hayley said loudly.

At the side, Nigel was so furious that he wanted to cover her mouth. Similarly, Anastasia turned red in the face out of anger. Hayley was mentioning this incident in front of all the guests on purpose.

“Hayley, that’s enough messing around.” Just then, Elliot walked over to them from somewhere, his expression dark.

Startled, Hayley trembled slightly, but she raised her voice to retort, “Did I say anything wrong? Elliot, I don’t want you to misunderstand. I really didn’t harm her.”

Anastasia clenched her fists tightly as she shivered in fury. Even up until now, Hayley kept crossing the line.

How could someone twist the truth to this extent?

Elliot’s expression was unimaginably dark. Hayley was taking the opportunity to tell all the Presgraves’ relatives about that incident, and she clearly wanted to ruin Anastasia’s reputation.

“Shut up, Hayley.” Elliot gave her a warning glare.

Hayley’s eyes immediately went red, and she accused in tears, “Elliot, I gave you my first time five years ago to cure you, and you bullied me to no end. I even miscarried once for you. Is this how you should treat me?”

Everyone present stared at Elliot in shock, for they couldn’t believe he did something like that. They had no idea if they should blame this most noble young master of the Presgraves.
