Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 10 Hayley’s Probe

Angry and annoyed, Erica immediately thought of Hayley, whom she reckoned was the only person who could help her plot against Anastasia. Therefore, she contacted her to meet her at a cafe. When Hayley arrived, she appeared to be in an inconspicuous outfit. Just like what she usually did, she walked toward Erica and sat down opposite her.

“You said you went away for a trip. Where did you go?” Erica curiously asked.

“Erm… It was just a short trip around the city for a few days. After all, I needed a break,” Hayley answered in a panicky manner because she didn’t want Erica to know that she had been living like a rich woman lately.

“What about your shop? Aren’t you going to be back to business?”

“Nah. The shop isn’t doing well lately anyway, so I’ve decided to take a break.” Hayley appeared unconcerned despite the worrying situation in her business.

Erica responded in a huff. “Did you know? Anastasia got on my mom’s and my nerves today. She is back, but that’s not all because—she is now a mother of an illegitimate son.”

Hayley was stunned when she heard that, holding Erica’s hand while anxiously asking, “What did you say?! She has a child?!”

Noticing her friend’s dramatic reaction, Erica paused for a few seconds and comforted the former. “That child is her illegitimate son. Are you worried that she’ll bring the man whom we put up to a one-night stand with her and come after us? Relax, nothing is going to happen!”

Hayley became especially sensitive, thinking that it was necessary for her to be aware of everything about Anastasia. Deep down, she couldn’t help but wonder whether Anastasia’s child belonged to

dad that the kid is three and a half years old, and the father is probably someone she got laid with

time and deduced that the child didn’t belong to Elliot, instantly heaving a sigh of relief. She only had a one-night stand with Elliot. Nah, it wasn’t possible for her to be pregnant so easily in just one night. At the thought of that, Hayley gave

the big deal with that? She is just an ordinary

for Anastasia, expressing exactly what was on her mind. “Well, I must admit that she was always

just a phony who is trying to act smart, yet she manages to gain my father’s favor. Besides that, even her idiotic son knows how to make my father happy. Bullsh*t!” Erica no longer cared about

Soon, she tossed her pillow onto the ground, as if it was Anastasia. “Why aren’t you dead, Anastasia? Why aren’t you dead?!” Anastasia will only prove to be a threat to me as long as she

latter was aware of what was going on back then. More importantly, she wanted to find out

that night because the watch was all the clue he had before he decided Hayley was the one he had been looking for. Nonetheless, she was quickly worried by another possibility when she wondered what would happen if Anastasia was able to recognize
