Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 286 Fall Into a Trap
Nigel was not a big fan of socializing at the party, so he was relieved that he got away by looking after Anastasia’s little boy.
“Miss Tillman, Old Madam Presgrave would like to see you by the poolside,” said the waitress as she approached Anastasia.
Anastasia was slightly surprised by the request, but when she glanced around and realized Old Madam Presgrave was not in her
seat, she nodded and responded, “Okay. Thank you for informing me.”
As Erica watched Anastasia exit the banquet hall, the corner of her mouth twisted up into a devilish smirk. Hayley’s plan is
working.
At the poolside, just when Anastasia wondered why Old Madam Presgrave would choose this place to have a conversation, she
noticed Hayley sitting on the pool lounge chair. As soon as Hayley saw Anastasia, she stood up and sneered, “You’re here.”
Only then did Anastasia realize that she had been fooled. She became defensive as she glared at Hayley. “Why did you trick me
into coming here?” she asked.
“Were you with Elliot just now, Anastasia? What exactly are you two up to? Are you guys messing around at Old Madam
Presgrave’s birthday party?” Hayley provoked her.
Anastasia could feel her cheek heated up. Did Hayley spot us?
Without waiting for Anastasia’s response, Hayley continued, “You really don’t mind that I slept with Elliot? Do you want me to go
into details of how we spent the night together?” Viciousness flashed across her eyes as she spoke with a smug face.
“As far as I know, it happened when he was not sober.” Anastasia pretended to be indifferent.

“No matter what state Elliot was in, it didn’t change the fact that he was sweating on me, kissing me, and holding me tight in his
arms. I was so happy that I was swooning under him.” Hayley kept her smug face as she recalled that night.
“Stop it.” Anastasia cut Hayley off as her chest heaved with ragged breath.
“His body is well-built, and he has incredible stamina. I still remember his frantic eyes and how he held me tightly afterward; I
remember him removing his watch and giving it to me. His pounding heart, his scorching body—” Hayley’s eyes gleamed with
shyness and sweetness.
Hearing Hayley’s description, Anastasia could feel a wave of pain washing over her from the bottom of her heart. It wasn’t hard
for her to imagine Hayley and Elliot hugging together, because she and Elliot had just shared an intimate moment earlier.
Hayley curled up the corner of her lips and approached Anastasia with a sinister smile. “I also told Elliot how your son came to
be, Anastasia. His father is a filthy male escort. Who knows how many women he touches in a month? You should get a medical
check-up done because if you die from that kind of disease, there will be no one to take care of your illegitimate son.”
Anastasia was so furious that her whole body was trembling. Although she knew Hayley was trying to provoke her with those
offensive statements, she couldn’t take it anymore because Hayley was insulting her son.
Now, Hayley was only two steps away from Anastasia. Her mockery was clearly seen in her eyes. “Your kid, Anastasia, had the
filthiest blood flowing through his veins. Perhaps he would follow in his father’s footsteps in the future. Like father, like son!” she
snarled.
“Hayley Seymour, you better shut your mouth,” Anastasia warned.
Staring at Hayley’s smug face, Anastasia clenched her fist tightly to refrain from slapping her face.

However, Hayley’s eyes swept across the corridor, and she suddenly grabbed Anastasia’s hand. “You want to slap me, don’t
you? Go ahead and slap me!” she yelled at her to provoke her.
Anastasia was taken aback by her actions and tried to break away from her hands.
“So what if I don’t shut up? I want the whole world to know your son’s father. I want him to be despised, and I want your son to
live in shame for the rest of his life!” Hayley shouted shrilly.
Hearing what she had said, Anastasia was getting colder. She gritted her teeth and growled, “Keep going if you dare.”
Then, Anastasia started to feel disgusted by Hayley’s hands, which were clasping on her wrists. Therefore, she pushed Hayley
away abruptly, attempting to break free from her grip. However, Hayley curved her lips and smirked at Anastasia as she let
herself fall behind and into the swimming pool.
Seeing that, Anastasia froze for a few seconds. Before she could react, she heard someone shouting behind her, “Oh my!
Someone has fallen into the water! Please help!”
I know this voice. It’s Erica.
Immediately after, she heard another female voice. “Here! We need some help over here!”
