Chapter 544


    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.


    “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 I 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, I 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 I


    deserved to be kicked out of my house by her when I 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, I 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? I 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. I have to take care of Dad. You should leave!”
