Chapter 426 You Can’t Force Love
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.
