Hayley took a deep breath and checked the bumps. The more she looked at it, the angrier she became, and she even felt a little frightened. Were the side effects starting to appear? No, she didn’t have the money to repair and maintain her face now.
It took her a long time before she barely managed to cover these bumps with makeup, but she knew that if she didn’t take care of her face, she would have even more problems in the future. At the beginning, she spent nearly two million on plastic surgery, and some of these procedures required follow-up appointments after three months. Back then, she had Elliot’s black card that she could spend as much as she wanted. However, she didn’t expect that she would be ruthlessly driven out by him one day.
Hayley looked at herself in the mirror, feeling hatred and adoration for her face
at the same time. She became even more jealous of Anastasia’s natural beauty, while she had to always be frightened and afraid that she would lose hers at any time.
Early in the morning, Anastasia received a call from the police as Naomi’s lawyer wanted to see her. However, she didn’t really want to meet them as Naomi’s matter was not over yet. The reason why she delayed her father’s resuscitation and the pills found in his mouth were all related to Naomi. Before collecting all necessary evidence, she wouldn’t accuse her yet. She wouldn’t be merciful this time either. Even if Naomi was her stepmother, she wouldn’t go easy on her.
In the afternoon, Naomi’s lawyer contacted Erica, and she directly took the lawyer to the hospital to meet Anastasia. Erica anxiously wished for her mother to: be released as well, so Anastasia had no choice but to face them directly.
In the conference room, the lawyer talked to Anastasia on behalf of Naomi, while Erica sat aside and listened.
“Miss Tillman, Ms. Lowell is your stepmother and has raised you since you were a child…” The lawyer began, intending to persuade Anastasia in a reasonable way.
However, Anastasia scoffed before he even finished his sentence. “Mr. Yale. before you persuade me, you should ask how my stepmother treated me when I was younger. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste of your time.”
