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.”
