Chapter 275 The Past Couldn’t Be Changed


    Something urred to Anastasia. Why is every man like this, onlypensating after taking advantage?


    She was reminded of the night she was taken advantage of. While she was crouching beside the sofa in agony, the b*stard did


    the same thing; he seemed to be removing his watch and handing it to her. At that moment, she was overwhelmed by rage and


    agony that she simply pped his hand away and dashed out.


    If she had the strength, she would definitely look for a knife on the room’s fruit tter and kill him with it. Even if she couldn''t kill


    him, she would at least ensure that he could no longer engage in sexual activities in the future and that he would have no heirs


    for the rest of his life.


    But, after being vited, all she could think about was finding Hayley and making sure she was okay. Thus, it was such an irony


    to discover that Hayley was the source of all her pain.


    Elliot noticed Anastasia’s face bing solemn, as if she was lost in her thoughts. He couldn’t help but be concerned and


    inquired, “What are you thinking?”


    “So she left you with a wonderful memory, right? It’s been five years, and you are still looking for her,” she said, attempting to be


    sarcastic.


    He was stumped for words. She was right. In fact, he had been thinking about that night and the woman who cried before him for


    the past five years.


    But he hadn''t thought about that night since he found Hayley. Even if he did, he couldn’t connect what happened that night to


    Hayley because she gave him apletely different vibe than the one he remembered.


    “Are you bothered by what happened between Hayley and me?” As if he was afraid of something, his voice was tense.


    To that, she fluttered her long hair, revealing her cheerful face, and smiled. “Of course I’m not!”


    Why should she be bothered by that? She merely wanted to know the truth.


    “Anastasia, | can’t change the past. Don’t be concerned about my past; we have a future together.” His brows furrowed, and his


    gaze tensed under the light. He was obviously nervous at the moment.


    “That’s true; there are things that just can’t be changed. It’ste now. Rest earlier, President Presgrave.” She had experienced


    the same thing in the past. So, she was well aware that time couldn’t be reversed, and she could only ept what had


    happened.


    With that, she rose to her feet and made her way to her room. But the man sitting on the sofa blocked her with his leg, and his


    broad palms pressed against her shoulders before turning her around to face him.


    She stumbled into his embrace, dizzy from the alcohol she had just consumed. But she feltpelled to push him away. “Don’t


    do this, Elliott!”


    “It is bothering you. Isn’t it just that you don’t want to admit it?” His gaze was fixed on her, making it impossible for her to flee.


    She was startled by this. Pushing him, she said, “Let me go, Elliot. Stop acting unreasonably.”


    “Is it me who is being unreasonable, or is it you who is unwilling to face your true feelings? You obviously like me, but you refuse


    to admit it.” He wanted to expose her true thoughts in order to force her to face her true feelings.


    But she, too, was no longer a young and naive girl, knowing full well that she could only face what could not be avoided calmly.


    Raising her head and looking at him with her clear eyes. “President Presgrave, I’m the one who knows better whether or not |


    like you. If you want to know the truth...”


    “Stop giving me this.” He heartlessly stopped her because he knew that her so-called truth was nothing more than a lie.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    But she insisted on going on. “President Presgrave, you had the wrong impression. I’m not sure what | did to make you feel that


    way, but you must have misunderstood something. You have such a high position, and you''re also my boss. You have my


    gratitude and admiration for all that you have done for me, but they are not love. Please do not confuse them.”


    Elliot was enraged by this. This woman was clearly lying through her teeth, and she even said it so boldly and confidently!


    His body stiffened. He was now like a trapped beast, almost insane from suppressing all of his emotions, in desperate need of


    venting everything he was feeling.
