“Hayley was the one who framed you five years ago?” Elliot instantly widened his eves in disbelief.
Anastasia recalled that she hadn’t told him about it before, so she nodded. “Back then, Hayley and my
sister teamed up to trick me into going to the club. Once I entered the private room, there was already
a man who dragged me in.”
Upon hearing the new piece of information, Elliot clenched his fists. What he heard from Hayley was
that Anastasia had entered the wrong private room and was violated by a man. She even cut off her
friendship with Hayley after that.
Between Hayley and Anastasia’s words, Elliot chose to believe in Anastasia without reason.
“Why didn’t you tell me before that Hayley had framed you?” Elliot felt incredibly guilty and blamed
himself for believing in Hayley’s words.
“How could I when you’re so protective of her? I was worried that you’ll believe in her words rather than
mine.” When Anastasia thought of that, she felt uneasy.
“Of course I’d believe you,” Elliot affirmed while looking into her eyes.
“Why did you show me this photo?” Anastasia inquired while staring at the screen.
“I asked Rey to check the surveillance footage of the night you were laid five years ago and discovered
that a security guard burned the server room of Abyss Club. After checking the IP address as well as
the call log of the security guard’s phone, we found out the person who instructed the security guard
was indeed Hayley.”
Anastasia was equally as puzzled. Why did Hayley do it?
Was she trying to hide a secret by burning the server room of Abyss Club five years ago?
“Did you know that Hayley and I slept together in this same club?” Elliot spoke though he wasn’t willing
to. After all, mentioning it always made him regret it deeply.
Once again, Anastasia was stunned to hear that, so she inquired, “How did it happen?”
“I was unprepared that night. I got caught in someone’s trap, and they wanted to create a scandal to
blackmail me, so I fled to a private room. Hayley came afterward, and I took advantage of her under the
influence of drugs.”
“Weren’t you intoxicated? How did you know it was Hayley that night?” Anastasia questioned out of
curiosity. .
:
“I gave her a watch afterward. She found me through the watch.”
“What kind of watch is it?”
“It is one of my custom-made watches. There is only one of it in the world, and it was in Hayleys hands.
She took it as a pawn in the second-hand market in March this year, and that’s how I
found her.”
Anastasia couldn’t help but silently mocked herself. How could they both experience the same thing,
but Hayley received Elliot’s materialistic compensation and apology while she wasn’t so lucky? The
host she met was selfish and ruthless. He was blinded by greed, didn’t repent his mistakes, and even
dared to threaten her!
That made her desperate to find that b*stard and see what kind of nasty look he had. Even though he
seemed ashamed that night and even offered his watch to her, she would never forgive him.
“Anastasia, I think you should know Hayley better than I do. Why do you think she burned the server
room?” Elliot inquired.
Shaking her head, she answered, “I’m afraid only Hayley knows the answer.”
Since the host existed and even tried to threaten Anastasia before, she never thought about the
possibility that Hayley had replaced her, nor did she realize that the b*stard was sitting right in front of
her
“If someone called me, are you capable of finding out who this person was?” Anastasia wanted to rely
on Elliot’s ability to find the host.
“Who are you looking for?”
“The host actually called me a few days ago and threatened me. If he calls me next time, perhaps you
can help me find out who he is.”
“Give me his number. I’ll get Rey to check it for you right now.”
After fishing out her phone, Anastasia scrolled to the number that had called her a few days ago. Elliot
quickly recorded the number and sent it to Rey for investigation.
“Actually, I could ask Hayley if I wanted to find this b*stard. She has his information, but I know that she
will refuse to tell me.” Anastasia hated Hayley to her bones.
After hearing Anastasia’s story, Elliot no longer had good feelings for Hayley. He didn’t even want to
see her face from now on. Feeling guilty for her was one thing, but what she did to Anastasia back then
was unforgivable. When he found out who the host was, he was definitely going to make Hayley
apologize to Anastasia.
