    At the same time. Harriet realized that Hayley’s face seemed to have changed. Though she still looked


    beautiful, it seemed that she had done something to her appearance.


    To be frank, Harriet rejected the behavior of pursuing beauty through surgery. Since her body had been


    given to her by her parents, she should cherish them.


    “I’m sorry foring uninvited to your banquet, Grandma. It’s just that I’ve missed you so much.” The


    look in Hayley’s eyes didn’t seem sincere at all.


    However, Harriet reassured her, “No worries. I forgot to inform you about it. Since it’s usually the same


    old rtivesing every year, I’m happy that you’vee too.” After saying that, she instructed one of


    the maids, “Escort Miss Seymour to the garden for some tea.”


    Hayley was overjoyed upon hearing that. Sure enough, Harriet didn’t drive her away, so she happily


    followed the maid to the garden.


    As soon as Hayley left, Harriet let out a sigh of relief. She was aware of Hayley’s intentions, but the


    Presgrave Family could only ept one daughter-inw. Therefore, no matter what Hayley did, it would


    be useless.


    “From whom did Miss Seymour hear the news?” One of the female housekeepers on the side questioned


    in surprise. She was the one who had sent out the invitations, but she didn’t recall sending an invite to


    Hayley.


    “Don’t worry about it. Let’s just serve her since she’s already here!” said Harriet with a wave of a hand.


    However, the housekeeper med herself. After all, she knew what Hayley’s identity was; she was


    merely a woman whom Young Master Elliot couldn’t get rid of.


    “Should I inform Young Master Elliot?”


    When Harriet recalled that Elliot would be bringing Anastasia to visit today, she was certain that


    Anastasia wouldn’te if she knew that Hayley was here. She couldn’t help but shake her head and


    replied, “Forget it. Let’s tell them when they arrive!”


    One of them was someone Harriet didn’t wee, while the other was someone Harriet desperately


    wanted her to be here.


    Between Hayley and Anastasia, it was obvious who had the upper hand.


    Soon, Harriet’s daughter, son-inw, as well as Nigel arrived.


    Some rtives and friends had also arrived earlier, so the whole yard was packed with luxury cars. All


    the rtives of the Presgrave Family had gained a firm foothold in the political and business circles with


    the support of the Presgrave Family. The Presgraves were like a big tree, and there was an intricate


    network of rtionships under the protection of said tree. Even Harriets brother was able to soar high in


    the political circle due to the family’s influence.


    While sitting in the tea house in the garden, Hayley couldn’t help but feel a little nervous when


    she heard the lively atmosphere in the main hall. However, it wasn’t going to make her flinch or retreat.


    Looking down at the box of drugs in her bag, she smirked cynically.


    Anastasia was going to lose her pride today in front of all the rtives of the Presgrave Family


    After picking up the cup of tea, she took a few sips. It tasted pretty nd although she had already taken


    some medication to revive her taste buds.


    The doctors said that the surgery might cause long-term side effects, but for her beauty, Hayley could


    only endure it.


    At that moment, a ck Rolls-Royce entered the front yard. The man who came out of the car was Elliot


    while the woman that came out of the car was Anastasia.


    He extended his hand to hold her, but she hid her hand shyly. “Let’s not hold hands.”


    His deep gaze locked on her for a few seconds before realizing that she was just shy and didn’t want to


    show too much affection in front of her rtives.


    “Let’s go, then!” Elliot understood her feelings.


    As they walked past the front garden and into the hall, they saw three banquet tables in the living hall. All


    of the guests had arrived.


    Once they entered the hall, Elliot started greeting the guests. As the most honorable child of the


    Presgrave Family, Elliot had been polite and thoughtful since young. Therefore, everyone adored him.


    While Anastasia followed him around, she listened to him exchanging customary greetings with hisProperty ? N?velDrama.Org.


    rtives. It was also the first time she had seen him behaving like a well-mannered junior. Usually, he


    was aloof and unapproachable, making everyone surrender to him!


    “Elliot, why don’t you introduce us to this beautifuldy beside you?” one of his aunts urged.


    “This is Anastasia Tillman, my girlfriend,” Elliot introduced her naturally.


    Anastasia couldn’t help but feel her cheeks heat up when she heard that. She had thought about this


    question beforeing, but she still couldn’t avoid revealing her identity.
