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 stic surgery,


    and some of these procedures required follow-up appointments after three months. Back then, she had Elliot''s ck 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’swyer 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 dyed her father’s resuscitation and the pills


    found in his mouth were all rted to Naomi. Before collecting all necessary evidence, she wouldn''t use 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’swyer contacted Erica, and she directly took thewyer 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, thewyer talked to Anastasia on behalf of Naomi, while Erica sat aside and listened.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    “Miss Tillman, Ms. Lowell is your stepmother and has raised you since you were a child...” Thewyer 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 | was younger. Otherwise, it''ll be a waste of your time.”


    Elias Yale couldn''t help but push his sses up and nce at Erica. For the sake of her mother, Erica became meek all of a


    sudden. “Anastasia, | know my mother was not a good person, but can you let her out in consideration of her taking care of Dad


    for so many years and their rtionship as a married couple? She’s too old for this.”


    Anastasia said emotionlessly, “Now, you think your mother is too old to suffer, but does that mean | deserved to be kicked out of


    my house by her when | was young? Also, you chased me out like this five years ago, and we still haven’t dealt with that matter


    yet!”


    Erica gulped subconsciously. Never once had she thought that she and her mother would end up in such a predicament, or she


    would''ve been kinder to Anastasia.


    “Miss Tillman, perhaps you are mistaken. ording to Ms. Lowell, she only hoped to save her husband from hisa, not to


    murder him,” Elias said calmly.


    “Mr. Yale, the evidence is in my hands. The hospital has the identification certificate which can determine if those drugs were


    meant to save a person or end their life. If you have any questions, | can tell you the names of those drugs, and you can inquire


    with an expert about them! If you want to clear her of the crime, my advice is you should convince her to plead guilty instead,”


    Anastasia retorted coldly.


    As she listened to their conversation, Erica broke into a cold sweat. Although Anastasia was never an easy target in the task, she


    realized that she was even more of a threat now.


    “Anastasia, I’m begging you, please let Mom go on the behalf of her taking care of Dad for so many years! I''ll do anything you


    say, all right? | apologize to you on behalf of my mother. As long as you let her go, we''ll definitely return the favor in


    the future.” Erica had already let go of all


    the future.” Erica had already let go of all her pride. As long as her mother could be released, she was willing to humbly beg


    Anastasia.


    However, to Anastasia, it was useless even if Erica got on her knees and begged her. She said coldly, “I’m busy. | have to take


    care of Dad. You should leave!”
