    Chapter 425


    Elliot didn’t know what to do with her. Just then, Anastasia hugged his neck and nted a kiss on his thin


    lips. “All peachy? I’ll go eat now.”


    With that, she smoothed her clothes and went out.


    Behind her, the man still looked majestic despite sitting on the carpet, and there was a hint of mischief on


    his handsome face.


    In another tea room at the end of the corridor, even though Hayley enjoyed the treatment as a guest and


    had a table full of foodid out before her, she was suffering inside..


    Her existence here was like a joke. The servants looked like they respected her on the outside, but she


    knew that they wereughing at her behind her back!


    She hated Elliot for treating her like that, but she hated Anastasia even more; Anastasia must have


    whispered horrible things about her in Elliot’s ears, turning her into a vicious woman.


    Hayley took a deep breath, the hatred apparent in her eyes as a sneer crept onto her lips. She got up


    and walked out of the room, but a servant immediately reached out and stopped her. “Miss Seymour,


    Young Master Elliot insists that you have your meal here.”


    “Can’t I go to the bathroom?” Hayley red coldly at her, then strode toward a certain ce. When she


    was herest time, she had the opportunity to tour the Presgrave Residence.


    She remembered faintly that Harriet’s medicine was kept in a specialized room on the first floor. She


    thought that since the Presgrave Residence housed such arge family, they probably wouldn’t install


    CCTVs inside their house. This would make her operation much easier.


    Just as expected, she didn’t spot any CCTVs around her. When she passed by the garden, she heard


    laughtering from the main hall. It filled her heart with envy, for Anastasia was probably there as well.


    Hayley noticed that the servant was following her. Annoyance shed across the depths of her eyes as


    she instantly walked further into the garden. The servant called after her, “Miss Seymour, please don’t


    run around. That’s not where the bathroom is.”


    Soon, Hayley managed to throw off the servant and emerged from another corridor. Now, all the servants


    were gathered at the main hall to serve the guests, so the huge Presgrave Residence looked especially


    empty.


    A vicious feeling rose up in Hayley’s heart. Even if Harriet had no ill intentions toward her, she still hated


    that old woman. She hated how Harriet favored Anastasia over her without helping her get together with


    Elliot.


    As such, Hayley wouldn’t mind Harriet dying. She just wanted Anastasia to take the me.


    Finally, Hayley found the storeroom on the first floor. As expected, she walked briskly over and found that


    it was unlocked. She opened the door and saw a few freezers inside, in addition to a row of shelves.


    However, Harriet’s usual medication was ced on a table, and a few medicine bottles were ced


    separately in a small basket. Hayley poured them out and studied them


    briefly before putting two simr types of pills inside.


    The pills were sleeping medications and also heart medications withplicated ingredients. If


    consumed over a long period of time, a person of Harriet’s age would experience problems soon


    enough.


    After swapping out the pills, Hayley immediately left the scene.


    Hayley passed by the garden once again, and when she saw the bustling on the other side, she


    suddenly felt the urge to go over as well. Didn’t Elliot ban her from meeting Anastasia?


    In that case, it was all the more reason for her to let Anastasia know that she was here.


    Hayley went closer to the main hall on purpose. When she saw two well-dresseddies in front of her,


    she suddenly put a hand to her forehead and fell onto the floor.


    “Oh! Are you alright, miss?” Just as expected, one of thedies rushed over to her.


    Hayley fainted right away, and she heard anotherdy say, “I’ll go get help.”


    At the table, Anastasia was sampling the desserts when she heard ady rush in, saying, “Come quick!


    Someone just fainted. Hurry up and send her to the


    Elliot had just excused himself to answer a call, and Anastasia was sitting next to Nigel. When they


    heard the shouts, Nigel was the first to get up. Anastasia followed him out.


    Nigel looked at Hayley and asked, a little stunned, “Who even is she?!” Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    “Just ignore that and send her to the hospital right away,” Nigel’s mother urged.


    When Anastasia saw Hayley lying on the floor, she was instantly shocked. She didn’t expect that Hayley


    would be here as well. Just then, someone shouted, “She’s waking up.”
