Night of Destiny

Chapter 329 Anastasia’s Face

However, this incident hadn’t been all that bad. At least, she had clearly seen who the real Aliona was and would be aware to keep a distance from Aliona at work in the future.

There was no need at all for someone with a background like Aliona to work at Bourgeois, which meant that she only came for one reason—Elliot!

However, Anastasia understood why women would try their best to woo Elliot.

Hayley had just stepped out of the car at the international airport when she took a deep breath before retrieving her phone to give him a call.

It took 7 seconds before the seductive male voice came from the other end of the call. “Hello, Hayley. Is anything wrong?” “Elliot, I'll be going for a vacation abroad for about 3 months. | wanted to say goodbye.”

“Alright, go ahead! Be careful on your way there,” he reminded her.

She then mysteriously added, “Elliot, you might see a different me by the time | return.”

“Is that so? Alright. Stay safe out there.”

A hint of disappointment flashed across her face at that. Elliot had been putting on a ceremony with her as of late where she couldn’t feel anything other than him treating her like a normal friend from his words.

“Okay, | will! | will miss you,” Hayley added sweetly, but all he said in reply before hanging up was, “Mm. | am hanging up.”

She was only more disappointed because of his curt reply, but her disappointment soon turned into determination when she thought about how much life she had ahead of her. For one, she still had plenty of chances to change her fate since she would be a brand new person by the time she returned to the country.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Let's go, Miss Seymour!” There was a small group of 3 people by Hayley’s side. She turned her head to look at them and asked, “Did you bribe enough? | want the best surgeon.”

“We did,” a middle-aged man within the trio answered her. “We have hired the best plastic surgeon. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.”

They did the best they could with the generous amount Hayley had paid them.

“Good.” She started walking into the airport before she saw a mirror beside her. She clenched her jaw when she turned to look at her ordinary face. She detested her face; to her, it was because of her lackluster features that she couldn't get Elliot to admire her. She was sure that she would be the one receiving Elliot's love if only she had Anastasia’s facial features.

In order to get the man to be hers, she wasn’t scared of the dangers and side effects that might come with the procedure. All she wanted was for Elliot to love her. It could be a shallow love that lasted only for a while, but she didn’t mind it at all.

Hayley’s love for the man was too deep for her to back out now as it was the kind of love that made her lose sleep at night. Constantly disturbed by the image of Elliot and Anastasia in her head, she never had a good night’s rest ever since she came back from the birthday banquet. The mere thought of them being loving to one another and how Anastasia managed to get all of his attention was enough to drive Hayley crazy with jealousy.

She needed a different face in order to have Elliot.

As to whose face she wanted to have, she wasn’t interested in the faces of all the beautiful celebrities out there. She wanted to have the face Elliot loved—she wanted Anastasia’s face.

Apleased, yet somewhat menacing smile appeared on Hayley’s face as she moved her gaze away from the mirror.

On the other hand, Elliot was sitting on a sofa in his villa while his 4 bodyguards reported to him as they stood in front of him. “President Presgrave, Riley Presgrave has been insistent on not leaving the country. We have given him a warning as you have instructed.”

Hearing that, Elliot asked, “Has he gotten in contact with anyone lately?”

“He has met up for meals with a few of his old friends. There is nothing beyond that.”

“Keep a close eye on him. | want to know every move he makes in the country.” Elliot’s gaze sharpened dangerously as he gave his bodyguards the instruction.

His parents’ death had been a lesson. Riley was far more evil than Elliot could ever imagine. He was sure that Riley still held a grudge from the time when he was chased out of the country by Elliot's grandmother. There was a big possibility that Riley intended to cause harm to the Presgraves now that he was back.

This was why Elliot couldn’t be lackadaisical with monitoring the man since he also had his ways to plant eyes on Riley, who had been abroad.

When the weekend came, Anastasia spent a normal, but heartwarming day with her son. For someone who lived a normal life like her, getting to live everyday peacefully and happily was the ultimate joy of life.
