Chapter 289 Attempting to Commit Suicide

“Exactly! If you don’t want to apologize, why did you slap her? Look at Miss Seymour—she’s such a poor thing.”

Anastasia was feeling a lot of pressure deep down as she listened to everyone else criticizing her. After all, only she and Hayley knew how the latter had tried to kill her underwater. However, those who judged her without knowing the truth were equally hurtful.

Meanwhile, Elliot ignored the gazes from the crowd and carried the barely conscious Anastasia into his arms. He then instructed Rey, “Take Miss Seymour inside to get her clothes changed.”

“Elliot…” yelled a sobbing Hayley. Her heart ached from a stabbing pain as she watched Anastasia being carried away by the man.

Even after all of that acting and drama, Anastasia still emerged as the final winner. She received all of Elliot’s love and care, yet the man did not even spare a word of concern for Hayley.

Anastasia’s first thought after being sent inside for a clean change of clothes was her son. As such, she turned to Elliot and said, “Don’t tell Jared what just happened.”

“Don’t worry! I have informed Nigel not to bring him over, and Jared is still in the playroom,” Elliot comforted her.

Anastasia clenched the quilt tightly as she came to terms with Hayley’s viciousness. She was certain that Hayley had purposely pressed her into the water with the intention of drowning her.
