Chapter 431 Scare
In fact, Anastasia couldn’t help but sense a chilly aura and the man’s eerie silence filled the atmosphere.
Soon, Elliot looked up and sat her down beside him. “How are things with Jared? Would you like to leave and check
on him now?”
“Don’t worry about him. He is with my dad. Anyway, have they identified the reason that caused your grandmother
to faint?” Anastasia curiously asked.
Elliot nodded. “I’ll tell you more when I’m done taking care of everything.”
“Sure. What matters now is that your grandma wakes up.”
An hour later, Harriet woke up and was seemingly in a good mood, although she had no idea why she fainted in the
first place.
“Mom, let me handle our dinner next year! The years have caught up to you, and you should rest more.” Brenda
thought the hectic preparation for the dinner had taken a toll on Harriet’s health and caused her to pass out.
“I didn’t do anything much either.” The lady shook her head.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m fine, aren’t I?” Harriet insisted that she was still healthy and refused to worry the
others.
At the same time, Elliot was relieved after seeing his grandmother come around, thinking he could finally put his
mind to ease. “Grandma, you should probably stay in the hospital for a week,” he suggested.
“That’s right, Mom! I promise I’ll visit you every day so that you won’t feel bored. Please stay here!”
“Why do you guys look like you’re trying to incarcerate me here?” Harriet wasn’t happy with everyone’s suggestion
as she expressed her dissatisfaction. After all, they all thought that the more energetic she tried to make herself
seem, the more childish she appeared to be.
In the meantime, Anastasia felt just as relieved as the rest while looking at the old lady with a smile on her face
while finally feeling the joy of having an elderly senior in the family.
“Aunt Brenda, why don’t you stay here to keep Grandma company with Nigel while I give Anastasia a ride home?”
“Go ahead.” Brenda nodded her head in response.
When Elliot took Anastasia home, he was surprisingly quiet in the car, which made Anastasia think it was because
he was too shocked about his grandmother’s condition. Therefore, she silently stayed by his side until they arrived
at the entrance of her residential area just as Elliot said, “I’ll come over to pick you up later.”
“There’s no need for that. I’ll be staying home tonight.” Anastasia didn’t want Elliot to be tired out by the hassle of
traveling.
“Sure, I’ll pick you up tomorrow then.” He hoped that she would move in and stay with him.
“Alright, do what you must for now.” She alighted from the car and walked further into the residential area.
After watching the lady walk through the gate, Elliot reached for his phone and dialed Rey’s number. “Gather a few
men and tell them to come with me to Hayley’s house.”
On the other hand, Hayley and Daniel were cuddling each other in their sleep at Summit Mansion as they were
exhausted from their intimate moment just minutes ago. However, that also left the unsuspecting duo completely
unaware of Elliot and his men’s arrival.
Meanwhile, Rey was shocked by what he discovered as he managed to trace a transaction that led them to a
source, which was later identified to be from the black card given to Hayley. “President Presgrave, Miss Seymour
has spent approximately fifty million with this card in the past six months.” Damn! Hayley hasn’t really been frugal

Elliot squinted, deciding to stop aiding Hayley financially from that moment on. At the same time, Rey had the
access card to the mansion and was able to drive into the compound. Throughout the entire time, Hayley and
Daniel were still sound asleep in the room. Since the manor belonged to Elliot, he had the authority to reset the
password. Instead of waking the two of them up, he reset the password and opened the door.
“They’re now upstairs. Should we head up there?” Rey awkwardly asked, considering the fact that Daniel was his
colleague.
“Get them down here.” Elliot had no interest in witnessing what he deemed would be an eyesore.
Therefore, Rey reluctantly headed upstairs by himself and made his way to the bedroom where he saw several
clothes lying on the ground. At the sight of that, he felt goosebumps running all over his body as he knocked on the
door, waking the two of them up instantly.
While Hayley snapped out of her alcoholic influence, Daniel immediately asked, “Who else has access to your
house, Hayley?”
“Is it Anna?” Hayley, who was seen with her messy hair, was mad at Anna whom she thought was knocking on the
door.
As Daniel wore his clothes in a panicky manner, Hayley wrapped herself in her pajamas and opened the door, only
to be greeted by Rey’s face which left them horrified and stunned.
