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!”

Needless to say, she had no idea who designed the necklace. Upon hearing Erica’s complaints and grumbles, Hayley couldn’t stop looking at the time because of her facial appointment. After all, she was so obsessed with winning Elliot’s heart that she even wanted to undergo plastic surgery to make herself look prettier.
