Chapter 288


    Chapter 288 ying The Victim Game


    At this moment, Hayley had just witnessed the man she loved the most performing CPR on Anastasia


    and constantly calling her name. The worry and panic in his eyes clearly demonstrated his concern for


    Anastasia.


    Meanwhile, Erica was dumbfounded by this as she stood to the side.


    ording to Hayley’s n, Elliot is supposed to save her. Why is he saving Anastasia now?


    Anastasia eventually regained consciousness, and the first thing that she saw was Elliot’s nervous yet


    gorgeous face.


    “You’re finally awake.” Elliot’s fingers trembled as he caressed her cold, pale face. At the same time, his


    deep eyes filled with ecstasy.


    A round of apuse erupted from the crowd. The twodies who had fallen into the water had been


    rescued, and that was good news in itself.


    Meanwhile, someone in the crowd watched the scene unfold with mixed emotions. The noble and


    handsome man was kneeling on the ground and soaked to the skin, overjoyed that he had managed to


    save Anastasia.


    As Anastasia sat up, Elliot’s suit draped over her body. Right then, she raised her head to meet Hayley’s


    resentful eyes.


    Anastasia pushed away Elliot’s helping hand and stumbled to her feet. Without much strength, she


    walked toward Hayley step by step persistently. Then, she raised her hand and pped the other woman


    forcefully.


    The strong p shifted Hayley’s face to the side. Tears streamed down her face as she raised her head


    and said, “I’m sorry, Anastasia. I know you were kind enough to save me, but you know that I’m afraid of


    water. I didn’t mean to drag you into the water.”


    After saying that, Hayley gave Erica a signal through her teary eyes. Thetter understood Hayley’s


    message right away, so she waddled through the crowd and asked, “Hayley, are you alright? Are you


    hurt anywhere?”


    Then, Erica turned her head toward Anastasia and confronted her. “I saw you pushing her with my own


    eyes, yet you have the audacity to p her. Do you even have a heart?” she chided.


    “Don’t me Anastasia for this, Erica. I was the one who identally fell into the water,” Hayley said


    with tears in her eyes.


    “Ladies, would you twoe forward and do Hayley justice? Did you see Anastasia push Hayley?” Erica


    asked the two female guests who had just witnessed the incident, eagerly hoping that they would testify.


    At that moment, Anastasia’s body swayed slightly. She almost suffocated earlier and had lost all her


    strength. Just then, a strong arm wrapped around her waist while she leaned against someone’s broad


    chest. Naturally, she knew who it was without having to turn her head around.


    Everyone wanted to know what was going on, so more and more guests gathered around the pool. The


    two female guests who were being questioned by Erica exchanged nces before one of them said,


    “We saw Miss Tillman pushing Miss Seymour into the water. However, when Miss Seymour called for


    help, Miss Tillman jumped into the pool to save her.”


    At this point, Hayley staggered to her feet, shivering as she hugged herself. Then, she looked at Elliot


    and said, “Don’t me Anastasia, Elliot. I-I fell into the water by ident, and she almost drowned while


    trying to save me. I deserve this p because I dragged her down with me. In fact, I deserve to die.”


    After saying that, Hayley covered her face and started to sob loudly as if she was truly ming herself.


    “Hayley, why are you still speaking up for her? She’s obviously taking revenge on you! She wants you to


    take the me for that incident where she got raped by a male escort five years ago. She wants you


    dead!” Erica’s voice was shrill, and the words she said were loud and resounding. It seemed as though


    she was afraid that the crowd couldn’t hear her.


    In an instant, Anastasia’s face turned pale as she trembled with anger, for the duo wasn’t done picking


    on her just yet.


    “Keep your mouth shut, Erica,” Elliot warned. His eyes darted at her like a cutting de as he didn’t want


    to hear another word from the woman.


    Erica was so frightened by Elliot’s threats that she shut her mouth immediately. However, the damage


    had already been done, for her words dropped like a bomb among the crowd.


    What? A male escort raped Miss Tillman?

    This information aroused sympathy among the crowd, but it also made people specte about


    Anastasia’s past.


    “What about pushing Miss Seymour into the water and pping her without an apology?”


    “You’re right! This kind of behavior is uneptable.”
