Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287 Almost Drowned

When Anastasia turned her head around, she saw two middle-aged female guests standing by the pool. Their attention was drawn to Hayley, who was struggling in the water and appeared to be drowning.

“H-Help, I can’t swim…” Hayley cried for help in a faint voice.

“Miss, how can you push someone into the water?!” One of the guests glared at Anastasia accusingly. “You should get down there and save her!” she commanded.

At that moment, Anastasia’s heart sank. She realized that she had jumped into a trap set up by Hayley and Erica. Now that Hayley had deliberately fallen into the water while Erica’s two witnesses were there, Anastasia was painted as the bad guy.

The situation became critical as Hayley bobbed up and down in the six-foot-deep pool.

Meanwhile, the two female guests paced along the edge of the swimming pool frantically, for they didn’t know how to swim.

There was no doubt that Anastasia despised Hayley to the core, but she couldn’t ruin someone else’s life at Old Madam Presgrave’s birthday party.

Hence, she removed her heels and dove into the water. She swam toward Hayley and tried to pull her to the surface.

Hayley was surprised to see Anastasia jumping in to save her. As she flailed about in the water, a murderous intent began to develop in her eyes. Just as Anastasia reached out to grab Hayley’s arm, the latter yanked Anastasia forcefully and pressed her head deeper into the pool.

There will be no one to blame if Anastasia drowns while trying to save me. In fact, people will only blame her stupidity for trying to save someone’s life when she can’t even swim herself!

Hayley only dared to jump into the pool because she was confident she wouldn’t drown. She had recently taken up swimming for fitness purposes, and she was doing well under the guidance of her private coach.

As Anastasia sank deeper into the pool, she felt the pressure of death.

Hayley is trying to kill me!
