Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2015

Jared took the glass of red wine from the waiter and handed a glass of juice to the girl next to him. At that moment, a girl in the nearby crowd with two young men immediately locked her eyes on the man sitting elegantly on the couch. Her gaze showed a hint of surprise as she looked at the woman beside him.

She murmured in her native language, “Not bad. I wasn’t expecting such competition.” But even so, she found it more interesting. The stronger her opponent was, the happier she became.

She believed in her ability, but it wasn’t just for fun this time. She was trying to find a strong husband for her father’s inheritance. Since her father had no sons and only one daughter, her grandfather favored her uncle, who had three sons but was incompetent.

Therefore, as long as she could bring back an influential son-in-law to the family, she could secure her father’s inheritance, and Jared was perfect for her.

“Miss Quins, may I offer you another drink?” A young man beside her tried to please Hannie, who was known as Hogland’s first lady. Many men wanted to marry her. However, they did not know that Hannie was not coming for them. “No, thank you. I need to greet other guests,” she said as she picked up her red wine and headed toward Jared. She wore a gold evening dress and looked seductive as she sashayed.

As she walked toward Jared step by step, Ellen quickly noticed her. This young girl emitted an aggressive aura, which forced her to take notice.

“Hi, Young Master Tillman. Good evening.” Hannie greeted in less-than-perfect English. Jared’s gaze fell on her, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. He asked in a cold voice, “Who are you?”

“Do you really have such a bad memory? I’m. Hannie, and we spoke on the phone yesterday!” Her smile was full of charm. “You are indeed forgetful!”

“Is anything the matter?” He had an icy expression, and he sounded annoyed. Hannie’s enthusiasm was dampened by his gaze. She never thought that her polite greeting would be met with such coldness.
