Chapter 585


    Hayley was beset with such fear that tears had begun streaming down her face. The consequences of


    what she had done finally dawned on her as she realized the price she had to pay for her mistakes.


    She should have just epted that boutique and lived out her life in peace. She could have found a


    man to marry and start a family.


    That would be a thousand times better than rotting away in prison!


    Anastasia remained expressionless as she stared at the tortured look on Hayley’s face.


    “Anastasia, can’t you understand me? When Elliot came to me back then, he was so rich and


    handsome. I had never met such a wealthy man before, so it was only natural that I took your ce.


    You know that I’m scared of living in poverty. My parents heavily favor sons over daughters, and I’ve


    never lived a good day in my life,” Hayley cried out as tears continued flowing down her cheeks. Her


    eyes were filled with anger and hatred.


    Anastasia could tell that Hayley was no longer putting on an act. She was truly regretting what she had


    done, but it was toote now.

    “It’s toote for regrets. Everyone needs to pay the price for their mistakes.” Anastasia stood up in


    distaste as she did not want to look at Hayley any longer.


    “Anastasia, please! Ask Elliot to drop the charges against me, won’t you? Please don’t go after me!”


    Hayley wailed in despair as her hands clenched around the metal grill’s.


    “He hates you even more than I do,” Anastasia turned around and added.


    Hayley knew that already. Elliot probably hated her enough to kill her with his own hands. She had


    usurped Anastasia’s identity and enjoyed the luxuries he showered her, along with his care and


    concern.


    Those were the happiest days of Hayley’s life. She was an ordinary woman who led such an ordinary


    life. Had it not been for this miraculous chance that fell into herp, she would never have crossed


    paths with a man like Elliot.


    “Anastasia, if you were in my shoes and Elliot approached you and offered topensate you with


    anything you wanted, would you have been able to reject him? I don’t believe that you wouldn’t be


    swayed by the possibility of having everything you want in life!” Hayley shrieked.


    Anastasia paused in her footsteps. She gave this question some serious consideration before turning


    back to say, “I’m not you. None of our decisions would’ve been the same.”


    “You’re lying! If our ces were switched, you’d share the same fate as me! Anastasia Tillman, don’t


    think you’re so high and mighty! You won’t be happy either! Would you be able to hold onto a man as


    distinguished as Elliot? Some other woman wille along and steal him away from you!” Hayley


    screamed in fury.


    “You won’t ever know how blissful my life will be, and you won’t have the chance to find out either.”


    Anastasia did not want to ever spend another second in Hayley’s presence.


    Once she left, Hayley slumped down on the floor. All her energy drained out of her as her face was


    covered in tears of agony, rage, and regret.


    The moment Anastasia stepped out of the detention center, the warm, spring sunlight hit her right in the


    face, and she took a deep breath. Meanwhile, there was a man waiting for her outside the first car in


    the parking lot.


    He stood tall and proud with an air of refinement. Amid the hustle and bustle of a busy world, he


    seemed to only have eyes for her. There were such loving and adoring eyes too.


    As Anastasia walked toward him, her heart was bursting with sweet and tender joy. She seemed to


    have a halo around her, and her steps were so light that she practically flew into his arms. He caught


    her like it was the most natural thing in the world to do.


    She looked up at him as hisrge hand gently caressed her hair. He looked down and nted a kiss on


    her forehead.


    “Let’s go home!” Anastasia had avenged herself. This was only the start of Hayley’s downfall. She


    would be paying the price for her deplorable actions for the rest of her life.


    There was no reason for Anastasia to continue wasting her energy on hating a woman like that.


    Instead, the rest of her life would be spent showering Elliot and Jared with love, along with her family


    members as well.


    Elliot drove her back, and along the way. they passed by a flower shop. He stopped the car and went


    in.


    Anastasia watched him from the window. A man like him would stand out among the crowd no matter


    where he went!


    She saw thedies in the flower shop. greeting him enthusiastically and covering their mouths in


    amazement behind his back. They probably never thought that they would see a man as breathtaking


    as him so early in the morning.


    Meanwhile, from her seat in the car. Anastasia gloated gleefully.
