Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 65

The young lady took a few more pictures and sent then all to Hayley with a caption that read, ‘Miss Seymour, you may want to keep a close eye on your man because this woman here is trying to seduce him!

Not only that, she’s trying to get Elliot to accept her son as well!

Hayley thought she had already seen through Anastasia’s plot, and she swore she would not let the latter succeed.
