Chapter 126


    Chapter 126


    Anastasia forced herself to head downstairs. She found Harriet surrounded by a group of people.


    Harriet was dressed in a tight, elegant dress that made her appear especially young and ssy.


    She looked really kind and friendly although she had a headful of gray hair. Before Anastasia


    approached her, Harriet had already pushed the crowd aside to go toward Anastasia. It was almost


    as if Anastasia was the VIP there. Everyone in the crowd tossed curious looks in Anastasia’s


    direction. Which rich family is this youngdy from? Why is Old Madam Presgrave giving her such-a


    _ grand wee? they wondered.


    “Old Madam Presgrave,” Anastasia greeted with a smile.


    “There you are, girl! You look so gorgeous tonight!” Harriet reached her hand out to hold Anastasia’s


    hand as she spoke to the crowd around her, “This is my god-granddaughter, Anastasia.” Once the


    crowd heard what Harriet said, the young girls gazed at Anastasia with looks of admiration. How did


    she get so lucky? Why did Old Madam Presgrave choose her as her god granddaughter?


    At the same time, the owner of a pair of hatred and jealousy-filled eyes red at Anastasia from


    outside the crowd-it was none other than Hayley, who watched as Harriet introduced Anastasia to


    all of the people around her. Old Madam Presgrave’s eyes are filled with love for Anastasia, but


    what about me?


    Although Hayley was just a fake product, she had genuinely begun to perceive herself as the


    Anastasia from five years ago. That exined why she thought she was being treated unfairly.


    “Hey! Where’s Elliot? Why don’t I see him?” Harriet suddenly realized that her eldest grandson


    wasn’t around. Anastasia’s heart skipped a beat as she thought, The finger marks on Elliot’s face


    are really obvious; I don’t think he should show up here. Fortunately for Anastasia, Harriet only told


    others to look for him without asking for him to be there.


    “Come here, Anastasia. Let’s sit down and have a chat.” Harriet held Anastasia’s hand and led her


    to the couch. Right then, Hayley purposely showed up beside them while calling out for Harriet. “Old


    Madam Presgrave!”


    Harriet turned around in surprise. The moment she saw that it was Hayley, a natural smile appearedThis content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    on her face. “You’re here too, Hayley.” Hayley immediately wrapped her hands around Harriet’s arm.


    “You don’t mind that I’m here, right, Old Madam Presgrave? Elliot told me that he missed out on my


    invitation. I wouldn’t have known about this whole thing if Daniel hadn’t told


    me!”


    “I guess there must have been a mistake,” Harriet replied. Initially, Harriet hadn’t wanted Hayley to


    be at the event, but Harriet couldn’t do anything since Hayley was already there.


    “I missed you so much, Old Madam Presgrave!” Hayley gave the olddy a fond peck on her cheek.


    “Which family is this youngdy from, Old Madam Presgrave?” one of thedies in the crowd asked


    curiously. Hayley quickly replied to thedy with a smile. “I’m also one of Old Madam Presgrave’s


    god-granddaughters!”


    After Hayley finished her sentence, a ratherplicated look shed across Harriet’s face.


    Harriet could easily tell what Hayley was trying to do. It seems like Hayley is more maniptive than


    I thought her to be, Harriet thought. Both Hayley and Anastasia stood to the left and right of Harriet,


    and Anastasia simply continued smiling after hearing what Hayley said. Anastasia could only scoff


    in her heart when she saw what Hayley was trying to do.


    Hayley wanted to steal the spotlight away from Anastasia, and she wanted the crowd to recognize


    who she was so that they would be more aware of her status in the future. In the public’s eye,


    anyone who could get close to Harriet had to have a good rtionship with the Presgrave Family.


    While Hayley wasn’t paying attention, Harriet casually pulled her hand out of Hayley’s arm before


    addressing both the girls. “Come over here and have a chat with me.” Harriet led Anastasia toward


    the couch, and Hayley immediately tagged along. She didn’t want Hayley to get all the good stuff.


    Harriet initially had some personal matters that she wished to talk to Anastasia about, but she had


    to put it off since Hayley was just beside them. Harriet ended up asking Anastasia about her work.


    I’ll find another chance to talk to Anastasia, I guess, Harriet thought.


    Harriet asked Hayley how she was doing as well, and Hayley put on her happiest look as she spoke


    to Harriet. The crowd observed their interactions and wondered, Can Hayley be any more friendly


    and warm?


    Meanwhile, Nigel’s parents had called him over to another room. There was a rich couple sitting


    inside, and a young, gorgeous girl was sitting beside them. The girl’s eyes lit up when she saw Nigel


    as she was attracted to him.
